Rep. Dick Gebhardt, D-MO announced his bid for the 2004 Presidency, and followed it up with a platform that assures he'll lose.
Rep. Dick Gephardt, seeking the presidency after eight frustrating years as House Democratic leader, said Wednesday that if elected he would repeal the vast majority of President Bush's "patently unfair" tax cuts to finance an ambitious new health care initiative.It should be noted that no candidate has ever won by promising to raise taxes. Exerting facist control over the health care industry should rule out any fluke chance of Gebhardt winning."Without the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, we can finish the unfinished business of providing high-quality health coverage to everyone who works in America saving billions and stimulating one of the biggest sectors of our private economy."
"... we can finish the unfinished business of providing high-quality health coverage to everyone who works in America saving billions..."
Did G. actually SAY this?! Let's see, 'everyone who works in America'. I suppose he means the United States, not America. Now then, this 'everyone' he's talking about, would that include illegal aliens as well as US citizens?
Either way, how, exactley, is this saving anyone billions of dollars?
Will someone be so good as to push me under the clue bus?

Q: Now Mr. Mondale, you ran for president on a platform of... raising taxes.
Mondale: I know, I know.
Q: Now historically successful candidates have always pledged to... lower taxes.
Mondale: I know, I know...
Q: What were you thinking?
Mondale: I don't know.

They need to quit freaking saying that the Bush tax cuts are for the rich. That shit pisses me off so bad. Its such bullshit lying. Everytime they say that, someone needs to whack them in the head with a baseball bat. I don't mind volunteering.. Damn lying fucking bastards.
