Run on a platform of RAISING TAXES. See how far it gets you.

Kerry knows that “the rich” will never have to pay the higher tax rates he proposes in spite of any “loopholes” closed - both Democrats and Republicans (including him) will provide plenty of other “loopholes” (deductions, credits and other mechanisms) for “the rich” to keep their tax bill as low or lower than it is now.

Democrats (including him) will then blame this on Republicans when tax revenue fails to materialize.

Kerry’s wife - and their combined net worth and income (which is mostly hers) - need to constantly be in the news and on the internet as much as conservatives can put it there. (Sane and smart) creativity is needed to get the word out. Only if this is constantly flashed in the minds of “the poor” who also happen to vote Democrat will they perhaps start actually seeing through the scam a little teeny bit.

From a man who said reducing the size of a planned Budget Increase is a Cut when he was running for President in 2004. Nobody called him on that back then.

Just last week on Meet The Depressed he admitted that there were no Budget Cuts in play, just a slower rate of planned increases.

Why do none of our Candidates, with the exception of Ron Paul, bring up the fraud of Baseline Budgeting?

Kerry is too big to fail: people in MA simply adore him and always will. He will be the heir to the EMK mystique.

Because they know “baseline budgeting” is above the IQ of the American people, who remain a confused lot

Did Lovie get the yacht moved to a different location Thurston? So it doesn’t get taxed.

Senator Kerry meant to say “Texas” will be an issue in the coming months, and it was a “botched joke”.
