[Miss Marple]

Being the cynic that I am (at least cocerning democrats) I believe this is the other part of the talking points. I have also heard Jerry Brown talking about tax increases today.

The democrats want tax increases in order to get more money in the hands of the feds (even though it doesn't work that way), hurt the economy, and make Bush renege on a promise. Then they can campaign in 2006 with "Bush raised taxes! He broke his promise! The economy is in the tank!"

Fortunately, the President is way smarter than they are.

When it comes to cynicism of dems,we both share a healthy dose.I knew the other shoe would drop.But tax increases?How incredibly lame can dems be.

President Bush will never fall for it.When I saw Frost say it,the Republican (John Kasich) on the show just started laughing!Frost got this real sour look on his face and stammered through the rest of the segment.

It's so much fun to watch them.I sure hope some are sincere in their praise of W,it would be helpful.But either way,I trust most Americans will figure it out.
