My Road Trip with Bill Richardson | 35 comments
Yeah, agreed (0.00 / 0)
But without being able to place when he said the "Democrat" part, I felt better striking it.

I think reading this blog they'll get the point.

It's just as easy to say "I'm that breed of Democrat that believes you have to show restraint with taxation" -- make it positive, not negative. I think he'll get it.

That's not a good formulation (4.00 / 2)
It's still implying that there are all these other Dems who want to spend like drunken sailors.

How about something like, "One of the things we progressives learned in the 1990s is that we can do a lot of good without breaking the budget and raising taxes. We all know that, but as Governor I've done it."

That's better (0.00 / 0)
Actually that's really good.

Because the problem here is he's running against Walter Mondale. And Walter Mondale doesn't exist anymore.

Yeah -- actually the more I look at that quote, the more it seems to hit it on the head. It's honest, but it still allows you to distance yourself from the stereotype.

I hate it (0.00 / 0)
when I hear anyone- but especially democrats- do the Big Spender Big Taxes Big Government thing- it is probably the most recognized link in  American politics though untrue.

It has a life of its own.

I want to know, who does he think the big tax and spenders are (in the democratic party)?

Drives me nuts...

bingo (0.00 / 0)
drives me nuts too

Next time, there may be no next time.

I wouldn't call him (0.00 / 0)
a progressive.
