So You Want Change? Then Obama-Clinton Is Not the Ticket

So You Want Change?
Then this ought to scare the heck out of you.
Here’s a quick list put together by the Giuliani Campaign on how the leading democrats intend to “change” America. It’s nice to see this in writing since the media is not so hip with reporting this:

DEMOCRATS WANT TO RAISE TAXES

** Hillary Clinton’s Pledge To Raise Taxes

Clinton Called For “Ending What She Called Mr. Bush’s ‘Irresponsible’ Tax Cuts…” (Russell Berman, “Clinton’s Big Tax Hike,” The New York Sun, 5/30/07)

Clinton Called For Higher Corporate Tax Rates. “Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Tuesday she might seek to scrap certain corporate tax breaks and subject CEO pay to public scrutiny if elected president in November 2008.” (Brian Early, “Clinton Proposes Cutting Corporate Tax Breaks,” Reuters, 5/29/07)

At 2007 DNC Winter Meeting Hillary Told Democrats “I Want To Take” Oil Company Profits. “The other day the oil companies reported the highest profits in the history of the world. I want to take those profits and I want to put them into a strategic energy fund that will begin to fund alternative, smart energy. Alternatives and technologies that will begin to actually move us toward the direction of independence.” (Sen. Hillary Clinton, Remarks At Democrat National Committee Winter Meeting, Washington, DC, 2/2/07)

“Presidential Hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton Outlined A Broad Economic Vision Tuesday, Saying It’s Time To Replace An ‘On Your Own’ Society With One Based On Shared Responsibility And Prosperity.” (Holly Ramer, “Clinton Promotes Shared Responsibility,” The Associated Press, 5/29/07)

Clinton: “I Prefer A ‘We’re All In It Together’ Society.” (Holly Ramer, “Clinton Promotes Shared Responsibility,” The Associated Press, 5/29/07)

Clinton: “Fairness Doesn’t Just Happen. It Requires The Right Government Policies.” (Holly Ramer, “Clinton Promotes Shared Responsibility,” The Associated Press, 5/29/07)

Sen. Clinton, On Paying For Her Big Government Health Plan: “That’s Going To Mean Taking Money Away From People Who Make Out Really Well Right Now.” (Robert Pear, “Candidates Outline Ideas For Universal Health Care,” The New York Times, 3/25/07)

Clinton: “I Don’t Think There’s Any Democrat That Is Not Going To Let The Bush Tax Cuts On The Wealthiest Americans Expire. We’re All Going To Do That.” (Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, CNN/WMUR/Union Leader Democrat Presidential Candidates Debate, Manchester, NH, 6/3/07)

** Barack Obama’s Pledge To Raise Taxes

Obama Said “People Didn’t Need” The Tax Relief And Called For The Lapse Of The 2001 And 2003 Tax Cuts. “There is no doubt that the tax system has been skewed, and the Bush tax cuts, people didn’t need them and they weren’t even asking for them. And that’s why they need to be lapsed….” (Sen. Barack Obama, PBS’ All-American Presidential Forum, Howard University, Washington, DC, 6/28/07)

Obama Joined Former Sen. John Edwards In Calling For Higher Taxes To Pay For Health Care. “Obama joins former North Carolina Democratic Sen. John Edwards in calling for higher taxes to help fix the nation’s health care woes.” (Rick Klein, “No Lip Service: Dems Trade Higher Taxes For Social Programs,” ABCNews.com, 5/29/07)

Obama Voted In Favor A Budget That Included The Largest Tax Increase In U.S. History. (S.Con.Res.21, CQ Vote #172: Adopted 52-40: R 2 – 40; D 48 – 0; I 2 – 0, 5/17/07; Obama Voted Yea)

Sorry, Barack– You are no Ronald Reagan.
Contrast the two leading democrats to Rudy Giuliani or Mitt Romney who actually have proven track records of success:

Mitt and Rudy have both done more than just talk about “change”— they have records to back them up.

Rudy Giuliani released a new ad in Florida today HERE.

UPDATE: Wizbang also has video of Rudy honoring families of fallen soldiers at a Veteran’s Memorial in Jacksonville, Florida. Some disgusting Leftist protester tries to interfere at one point.
