06/20/2004: "Biden Politics"

What's wrong with politics: this recent roll call vote "To provide funds for the security and stabilization of Iraq by suspending a portion of the reduction in the highest income tax rate for individual taxpayers."

Either we should alter the tax structure or we should not. Either we should support the troops or we should not. But this amendment is just a political ploy to let Democrats claim they supported the troops when Republicans did not.

Except, of course, for Senator Kerry. He did not vote.
