Al Gore's Ammo
By Mike Hersh
'AntiBush' article #1

It's Clinton's recession? Yeah, right. Bush and Cheney "talked down" the economy, lying about it. Greenspan raised interest rates, the Saudis hiked oil prices, Enron raised prices especially in California all trying to help Bush, and it took a bit longer to cool off the economy than they thought. Still, Clinton and Gore did everything they could to maintain fiscal health and consumer confidence -- that's all an administration can do.

Now, even with Greenspan slashing interest rates, and OPEC and Enron unable to raise rates and prices any more, Bush's economy is still in free fall. Why? His huge irresponsible and unfair tax policies squandered our surplus and shattered our fiscal situation.

"Trickle Down" never works. Never. Tom Daschle and Ted Kennedy explained this in great detail. The media spinners mock them, demanding Democrats call for a "tax increase," but this is a Bush mess. Why should Democrats bail him out?

Let Bush take the blame. I'd love to see Al Gore go after Bush, now that the unelected AWOL drunk driving moron has a record to defend. Al Gore can say the following all through the 2004 campaign:

"Remember in 2000 when I said my opponent's tax cuts for the top wealthiest would squander the surplus? I was right.

"Remember in 2000 when I said my opponent's friends in the oil business would rip off Americans and he would try to let them get away with it? I was right.

"Remember in 2000 when I said my opponent wouldn't be able to maintain our peace and prosperity? I was right.

"Remember in 2000 when I said my opponent's claims that our military was weak were untrue? I was right.

"Remember in 2000 when I said my opponent's policies would hurt the environment, working families, and more? I was right.

"Remember when I led a commission which suggested a dozen ways to keep our airlines safer? I was right.

"Remember in 2000 when my opponent said I was using "fuzzy math" when I exposed his tax plans as frauds and giveaways to the most wealthy? He was lying.

"Remember in 2000 when my opponent said he had a better way to help seniors afford medicine? He was lying.

"Remember in 2000 when my opponent said he was compassionate? He was lying.

"Remember in 2000 when my opponent said he trusted the people? He was lying.

"Because when the people elected me, he sued the people."

No one else can make this kind of pointed and convincing attack on Bush.
