Mr Dean’s aggressive strategy left his rivals weighing whether they should react in kind, but most appeared wary of being drawn too soon into an expensive television campaign that could leave them short of resources in the vital end-of-year sprint to influence the party’s voters.
The New Hampshire commercial, which will also air in Boston, features Mr Dean touting his proposal to repeal President George W. Bush’s tax cuts to pay for healthcare, his credentials as a former governor and his opposition to the US-led war on Iraq.
So Dean is going to increase taxes back to pre-Bush levels, yet he is not doing it to balance the budget? He is just going to blow it on another big government program? That is a moderate, centrist position? I guess he has no credibility when he talks about financial responsibility either.
ALso, every time I hear Dean say he is going to raise taxes, all I can think is “You and what Congress?”
