Extract
The President misled voters and reporters in a March 20 speech when he
claimed that Kerry “voted over 350 times for higher taxes on the
American people” during his 20-year Senate career. Bush spoke of “yes”
votes for “tax increases.”
But in fact, Kerry has not voted 350 times for tax increases, something
Bush campaign officials have falsely accused Kerry of on several
occasions. On close examination, the Bush campaign’s list of Kerry’s
votes for “higher taxes” is padded. It includes votes Kerry cast to
leave taxes unchanged (when Republicans proposed cuts), and even votes
in favor of alternative Democratic tax cuts that Bush aides
characterized as “watered down.”
