February 6, 2008 The Democrat Field: The primaries are far from over, but one thing has already become clear: There are stark differences between the Democrats and the Republicans running for President. The Democrats attack each other, but their proposals are remarkably similar: higher taxes, big-government health care, and weakened national security. Senator Clinton: Say Anything to Get Elected: How can the American people trust a candidate for President who, on every substantive issue, has avoided taking strong positions, has contradicted herself, or has simply refused to answer questions. Barack Obama And The Question Of Experience: Even the Democrats have decided they can’t trust Senator Hillary Clinton. That leaves them with Barack Obama. Barack Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate only three years ago, and has spent almost that entire time running for President. In fact, he has only managed to pass one bill during his three years in the Senate. The Republicans, on the other hand, have offered plans to keep our economy growing by letting Americans keep more of the money they earn; to make health care more available, more portable, and more affordable without handing it over to government bureaucrats; and, most importantly, to keep America safe from threats both abroad and at home. This Week’s Note From Jo Ann: As the two Democrat candidates continue to criticize each other, we have a great opportunity to reinforce that the Republican vision for the future is a positive and optimistic one, while the Democrats seem to see only a failed America, one in which we need to pay more taxes, depend on larger bureaucracies, and withdraw from the world stage.
