Today Brian Dubie issued either a freudian slip... or the truth. You choose. In a debate with Sen. Peter Shumlin on the Charlie and Ernie Show on WVMT, Dubie said that the programs he will cut to balance the budget will "target the most vulnerable." Later, his campaign manager said that is not what he meant. I guess, my question is what does he mean? If he's not talking about "reforming" the programs that benefit the most vulnerable, then what programs is he talking about? He said precisely what he meant... the truth just happened to slip out.
Coincidentally, Senate Republicans in Washington today demanded more tax cuts for the rich. Hmm. Goes hand in hand with Dubie's pledge to reduce taxes on the super-rich in Vermont. Target the poor, and hand out the money to rich folks. Nice. This is sticking up for the middle class and working Vermonters? At least they're honest.
In Brian Dubie's (and the GOP's) world, "targeting" the poor to provide tax cuts for the rich is Pure Vermont.

What else would one expect from some trigger-happy fighter pilot, where most everything is a potential enemy as well as target?
Thus, if Brian Dubie were to get elected as the next Governor of Vermont, instead of old Governor Scissorhands attempting to cut everything in sight (especially when it comes to budgets and most particularly programs and services for those most in need, forget ribbons), it'll be more like bombs away! and what can we frag and napalm next!?
One wonders how or why his campaign expects people would accept their lame explanations and excuses offered on behalf of their candidate, including that he meant to say protect rather than target?
It is a scary thing when one thinks about how such a person either gets confused or does not understand the difference between targeting and protecting a certain group of people who are most in need, very scary indeed.
By the way, for those who could not manage to tune into the debate live yesterday, archived audio is hosted on vtdigger, here.
