I'm glad to see the speech won't be overtly political:
. . .On the economy, Kaine is to deride the president for a "failure to manage our staggering national debt" and to accuse the administration of "reckless spending." He will bemoan soaring health care costs and note that Republicans and Democrats have worked together to "fight the Bush administration's efforts to slash Medicaid and push more costs on to the states."
On Iraq, Kaine is expected to say the administration gave the public inaccurate information about the reasons for invading Iraq and then failed to give troops the best intelligence or body armor. Now, he will point out, Bush wants to decrease National Guard and Reserve troop levels and further reduce military and veterans' benefits.
Incidentally, as usual for Democrats, I don't see anything in this article to suggest that this speech will actually tell us what the "better way" is.
Ther emay be a better way, but as sure as I am typing this message, the rats on the left sure as heck don't know and cannot even fathom it.
No interns, but he's already put in a proposal to raise our taxes the second week he was in office ......... after saying he wouldn't during the campaign. Nothing new here ... another liberal Democrat spouting the party line. It's really a shameful thing for the grand old state of Virginia to have voted in the likes of 'Little Timmy' Kaine.
Only on auto purchases? Consider yourself lucky ..... here's what "Governor Democratic Rebuttal" has proposed:
* a higher tax on car purchases
* a higher tax on car insurance
* higher fees to register vehicles
* higher fines for traffic offenses
* a new tax on auto repairs
Oh yeah, Timmy's got a 'better way' all right!
Guaranteed to cause a recession. My house delegate tells me the Republicans all oppose it. These proposals are already DOA:
* a higher tax on car insurance
* higher fees to register vehicles
* higher fines for traffic offenses
* a new tax on auto repairs
The car sales tax remains, get on your delegate if they are a Rino.
Here is a chance for Bolling to torpedo Dim Paine and render him a lame duck before he even gets started
I think when Democrats try to raise taxes when they get into office, Republicans should support it, but only if they can postpone it until the year before the election. It's such a trend now. Rendell did it, they all raise taxes in their first year so that the electorate forgets. So bloody cynical.
My son and I got a good laugh out of Kaine's speech when he said
Thanks - after his performance tonight, his proposals aren't the only thing that are 'DOA' .......... 'Missionary Man' is NEVER going to live down that dancing eyebrow!
