Scott Brown’s campaign has a new video, spotlighting the “closing argument” of opponent Martha Coakley.
You may be surprised at which Massachusetts Democrat makes a cameo:
CHYRON: When your closing campaign argument is raising taxes — you know you’re not in a good spot. “You pretend to tax banks but are really taxing hardworking Americans . . .” SUZE ORMAN: Because what do you think the banks do? They just take it and say: “Okay.” They pass those fees whether you know it or not, in my opinion down to the bottom line so that every single consumer ends up paying for those fees. (MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” 1/12/10) CHYRON: “. . . banks would seek to impose the cost of any tax on customers.” (Binyamin Appelbaum, “Obama To Seek Tax On Big Banks,” The Washington Post, 1/14/10) REP. BARNEY FRANK: Look, what happens is the federal government has expenditures and it takes money in. Yes, some of it will go to pay for the war in Afghanistan, some of it will go to fix bridges that may be collapsing, some of it will go to one of those terrible entitlement programs. It may help to pay Social Security disability. (CNBC, 1/14/10) CHYRON: They keep spending your money . . . CHYRON: “We need taxes up.” — Martha Coakley (Boston University Debate, 11/31/09) CHYRON: Vote for someone who will represent you, not the political machine in Washington. MAN ON THE STREET: I’m supporting Scott Brown because of the current situation that we have in Washington with health care. We’re all going to get taxed too much. I feel we’re getting taxed too much as we are right now. CHYRON: There is only one tax cutter in this race. CHYRON: And it’s not Martha Coakley. SCOTT BROWN: There’s only one candidate in this race who’s a tax cutter and it’s not Martha Coakley.
Credit where it’s due; anytime Martha Coakley talks about an argument that’s a “closer” and doesn’t invoke Mariano Rivera, she’s achieved a moral victory.
