SUMMARY:
This commercial applies a favorite Bush-Cheney campaign ad phrase -- "John Kerry's record ... troubling" -- to the senator's stance on domestic issues, specifically tax policy. The ad says Kerry regularly opposed tax relief and favored tax hikes, including support for a 50 cent per gallon tax hike on gasoline and a plan to raise taxes $900 billion in his first 100 days as president. Another nearly identical ad, titled "Differences," ran in both English and Spanish starting March 26 in 18 states and on national cable outlets.
