Not much different, but with a much shorter shelf life, were a few particular statements Kerry made in the last cycle. Perhaps they got buried under the rest of his soundbites, but he, too, offered better plans which he would unveil “at a later time” or “when the time is right.” I thought then that it sounded familiar.

You know, a second reading of Dean reminds me so much of Nixon’s secret plan for Viet Nam. I have a plan. It’s a very good one. And when the time is right, I will let you know what it is — but man, it is some good plan.

There were two lines of attack on the budget in the response:

(1) Republican spending is too high and out of control; and

(2) The mean Republicans are cutting vital programs and aren’t spending enough for seniors, children, etc.

Given that, it is hard to take a claim of fiscal responsibility seriously — no mention of where the spedning cuts would come from. I am a huge believer in stopping the spending — but the questions that seems to stop everyone are “where?” and “What gets cut?”
