It was bad enough when the Bush administration spent millions of taxpayer dollars on television ads touting (defending, really) a lousy Medicare bill that had already been signed into law in an attempt not to educate the public, but to spin the damaging truth that was coming out about the that lousy bill (and the dirty politics that went into its passage). Remember, that was the bill of which the administration knowingly hid the full cost from Congress and the American people.
Then the Bushies instructed the Treasury Department to analyze John Kerry's tax proposals. As you might have guessed, that's not their job -- in fact, a former Treasury official -- a Republican, no less -- stated that the Bushies had "stepped over the line."
Now, Pandagon alerts us to the following language found near the end of a press release from the U.S. Treasury Department touting the department's efforts to make the taxpaying process smoother and easier:
America has a choice: It can continue to grow the economy and create new jobs as the President's policies are doing; or it can raise taxes on American families and small businesses, hurting economic recovery and future job creation.
What the hell is that propaganda doing there?, one might well ask. And where did it come from?
Well, as the Demagogue blog points out, it came directly, word for word, from the Republican National Committee's web site.
These skunks are shameless.
