To paraphrase President Reagan -- 'Here they go again.' Maybe it is just me, but it seems obvious that the Dems are trying to run a smear campaign against Bush -- targeting his past battles with alcohol. The 'careening' out of control seems to be a direct reference to Bush's DUI episode years ago.

Remember, just a month ago Gore tried a similar trick. According to the Washington Post:

"Book-hawking ex-veep Al Gore, appearing yesterday with wife and co-author Tipper Gore on WAMU-FM's 'Diane Rehm Show,' evangelized for decreasing U.S. dependence on Middle Eastern oil and criticized President Bush's plan to permit drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. 'It's like an alcoholic saying, "I know where I can get my hands on another, ah -- "' Gore said before Rehm cut him off with a question, reports The Post's Barbara E. Martinez. Surely that wasn't a veiled reference to the president's checkered past with demon rum!" Lloyd Grove, the Washington Post 12/10/02 (Yes, this is an excerpt)

It's the same old class-warfare refrain from the Democrats. They can't motivate people to get behind their proposals unless they first get people to hate their opponents. I heard a Democrat congressman on Hannity and Colmes last night pooh-poohing a provision in the Bush plan that may eliminate the tax on dividend income from stocks, and the Dem said "This only would benefit the wealthy, because only 20% of people own stocks." LIE! I don't know the figure, but it's close to two-thirds of Americans that own stocks, considering all of the 401Ks there are out there.

But consider the big picture. What everyone is talking about is a tax cut. The debate is over what type of tax cut. Dems want a tax cut that goes to people with incomes below $50,000. Bush wants something that is more broad in its impact. But everyone is talking tax cuts! We've won!!! The Dems can only win, politically, if they take an essentially conservative position.

There is also a poll on the site with the full article.
Question is will Bush's plan work. Right now it is ahead 59 per cent. It is down on the left side of the page.
