Shaun Kenney | Politics and Religion in Virginia's Public Square


Monday, August 04, 2003 Where the heck have I been? Well, after doing lunch with Senator Allen and a focus group of Virginia Republicans, I headed out to the Shenandoah River for the weekend. Of course, this doesn't mean that I wasn't keeping one ear to the ground, namely Governor Warner's ridiculous statements after President Bush's radio address: Gov. Mark Warner of Virginia, who gave the Democratic radio address Saturday, blamed Bush's "massive tax cuts" for the rising federal deficits and for forcing states to cut vital services. "Right now, this nation is on track for the worst job creation record since the Great Depression. No president since Herbert Hoover 70 years ago has actually lost jobs over the course of his term," Warner said. Bush, using the same underlying economic data, said the unemployment rate - 6.2 percent in July - would have been a full percentage point higher had his three successive tax cuts not been enacted. "And as many as 1.5 million Americans would not have the jobs they have today," the president said. Heck yeah, no question about it. Set aside the reality that Warner has done even less proactively than the president concerning Virginia's economy and you have what is the most inept and short-sighted grab for the Democratic Vice-Presidential nod I have ever seen. Dean-Warner. I like that ticket! posted by Shaun Kenney \| 8/04/2003 03:11:00 PM \| 0 comments 0 Comments: Post a Comment Home
