Bush winning Wall Street Republican tax cut plan supports profit growth; Gore spending unfavorable By Staff Writer Catherine Tymkiw November 2, 2000: 12:23 p.m. ET NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Wall Street players are famous for hedging their bets but when it comes to the upcoming presidential election, they're placing more chips in the Republican camp. It's not that they think Republican candidate George W. Bush would necessarily make the best president, but rather that they like his promise to cut taxes. The theory goes that a tax-cut plan would put more money in consumers' hands, hence more money would show up in corporate profits. That would ultimately translate into more money flowing into Wall Street. cnnfn.cnn.com

>>>About a year ago Bush said he was never arrested when asked by a reporter...<<< Then Bush should have been using his campaign tactics on himself: Bush is a "liar!"

Fled the scene? I doubt it. From Foxnews.com: The officer, Calvin Bridges, told WPXT-TV the issue should not have any bearing on the election, and that he is afraid of becoming a political pawn. He also said he would have no problem speaking up about the arrest if it had happened recently or if he believed Bush currently had a drinking problem. Bridges told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that he recalled driving home from work after midnight and spotting a car slipping briefly onto the shoulder before getting back on the road. Bush, the driver, failed a road sobriety test and a second test in the police station, registering a 0.10 blood-alcohol level — the legal limit at the time, Bridges said. Asked about Bush's demeanor, the retired officer said, "The man was, and I say this without being facetious, a picture of integrity. He gave no resistance. He was very cooperative."
