The political lust for ever-more tax revenue is a bipartisan affliction, as Indiana voters are finding out to their regret. Their reward for electing their first Republican Governor in 16 years looks like it will be a big tax increase.

This pocketbook raid comes courtesy of Mitch Daniels, the former White House budget director whose victory last November also brought in GOP control of the Indiana house. (The party already controlled the senate.) He’s now helping to define Republicanism in the Hoosier state by proposing a 29% tax increase, levied largely on anyone making $100,000 or more — including married couples filing jointly and small business owners.

John Kerry claims the only way Iraq can succeed after the elections is to embrace the international community. Kerry did not specify if this meant countries such as France, Germany and Spain.

Kerry believes countries who stole from Iraq and propped up Saddam Hussein through Oil-For-Food are now the only ones who can legitimize Iraq as a future democratic and sovereign nation. Not once did he mention the bravery of the Iraq citizens for standing up to terror and rushing to the voting polls to participate in history as well as the future of their country.

Kerry, like his Massuchusetts counterpart, are dunces with enormous capacity for arrogance and bias.

“We as Democrats may be in the minority in Congress, but we speak for the majority of Americans.”

Ted Kennedy, elite no nothing from Massachusetts, is blabbering the “Cut and Run” theme for our effort in Irag going into Sunday’s elections. His timing could not be worse for the worn torn country, it’s people and our troops.

“The American military’s continued presence in Iraq is fanning the flames of conflict, and signals the need for a new detailed timeline to bring the troops home,” Kennedy said Thursday.

Kennedy went on with his bogus comments but he certainly takes the cake when he exclaims, “the first goal in the current situation should be for the United Nations— not the United States — to convene an international meeting to help the new government take shape and draft a constitution.”

The United Nations? Kennedy must have been deep into the liquor cabinet while preparing his remarks. He certainly is out of touch with reality.

Mr. Kennedy is the do nothing liberal Senator from Massachusetts, born of the golden spoon, spawned by bootlegged Scotch.
