The Economic Debate: Fear vs. Corruption

The winger spokes models are on a mission to distract potential Republican voters from massive and ongoing Republican failures of moral and strategic issues (corruption and the disintegrating Iraq occupation). What are they trying to sell? A strong stock market in take-home economics clothing and the usual schoolyard character assasination tactics i.e. name-calling (yawn). Childish as all that lieing is you'll have to be vigilantly armed with the right sticks and stones yourself--a counter argument--so here's a pretty good place to begin:

The Economic Debate: Fear vs. Corruption: "'This economy of ours is strong,' George W. Bush informed voters in Ohio. But if Democrats win control of the House of Representatives, he warned in Florida, 'they'll raise your taxes. It will hurt our economy, and that's why we're not going to let them get control.'

In late September the President momentarily interrupted his drumbeat on the threat Democrats pose to the failing 'war on terror' to trumpet the threat they pose to the flailing economy. With Americans squeezed between sluggish wages and rising costs, the slogan 'they'll raise your taxes' rouses fears, just as 'cut and run' does on Iraq. As in the Iraq debate, the President doesn't tell us what he'll do to get us out of the mess he's made; he simply charges that Democrats will make it worse."
