The Republicans need a mantra to counter the Dem's "tax cuts for the rich" mantra. Something like,

Anyone who opposes tax cuts doesn't need one.

Only someone who is really out of touch would fail to appreciate what a burden taxes are to the average taxpayer.

I need to become a political pundit and get a whole bunch of $50,000 30 minute speeches.


I figure I give 250 of them and can stop working forever.

"Linda Daschle has tried to pooh-pooh her obvious conflicts of interest as an influence peddler, telling The New York Times last August that the staff members she lobbies “are pretty junior and may or may not know who I am” — a mind-boggling, risible assertion. But her senator/leader husband has always refused to make public his and his wife’s tax returns, despite repeated press requests. As a presidential candidate, Tom Daschle could not have avoided giving the press a look at those returns — which would have spelled out just how much cash Linda brings in from her clients."

"The real reason Tom Daschle didn’t run for president"

wait can`t be,Senator Tom Daschle represents the poor people of his state,(sarcasm off)

Senator Tom Daschle and his wife, big money airline lobbyist Linda Daschle, have just purchased a seven-room house valued at $2,250,000 in DC.

Not bad, presumably their main home is in South Dakota. Which would make this is their second home. They must have quite a spread in South Dakota.

A little snippet from the Rapid City Journal...... 5/10/03

What's Sen. Daschle trying to hide?
By Robert Regier, executive director of Rushmore Policy Council.

SIOUX FALLS - Is Sen. Tom Daschle trying to hide something? When recent reports - premature as they were - came out about a potential issue ad campaign highlighting Sen. Daschle's liberal record, the Senate minority leader reacted harshly and quickly.

Just the mere suggestion that the Rushmore Policy Council might pull the curtain open to expose the window to his political soul had him unleashing the attack dogs within days. A "Special Alert" from Daschle's office urged his supporters to go out on the attack. "Send money." "Write letters to the editor." "Call talk radio." "Stand up to the extreme groups," the alert pleaded.

It's quite apparent that Sen. Daschle doesn't want us to know that he was the keynote speaker at the country's largest homosexual activist organization's annual banquet last year in Los Angeles. Perhaps he's afraid people might remember how he rebuked the Boy Scouts of America and Salvation Army for their Christian beliefs about sexual morality.

Certainly, he doesn't want people to be reminded that last year he credited the pro-abortion group EMILY's List as the primary reason for him being elevated to highest leadership post in Congress. And he definitely doesn't want us to know that he sent out a fund-raising letter on behalf of the National Abortion Rights Action League.

Oh, and the taxes he has raised on senior citizens' retirement benefits? He certainly wouldn't want that to get out.

His support for the death tax? When four out of five people in his home state are against it? Shhhhhhhh.

You see, our senator thinks we're not paying attention. Or so said one of his staffers to South Dakota media when asked if he thought there would be public backlash for his obstruction of judicial nominee Miguel Estrada.

[sweetliberty]

Just a taste of hypocrisy, eh Tommy?

[timydnuc]

The elitists that want our adoration and votes. They want to control our lives and look over us. They want to impose sanctions on behavior outside of what THEY think is negitive. You will live in a home that is worth 50K while we live in a 2M dollar house. Why, because we are better than you. You will give the government (read me, the elitist/socialist) 3/4ths of your hard earned income to fund the idealogy that they, the elitists, want. There will be no freedom, just slavery.

Didn't we fight this war in 1776? If they want the fight again, let's get it on.
