You may remember back in June, when I noticed that Ricardo Sanchez’s campaign website mentioned tax cuts<\/a> as a means of creating jobs and improving the economy. Given that was so out of character for a Democrat, I thought I better get a screen shot to prove it was there:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\n<\/li>\n

It’s in the third paragraph. Click to embiggen. <\/p>\n

It’s a good thing I did, as the Sanchez campaign has scrubbed the phrase “tax cuts” from the page<\/a>. The old phrase was:<\/p>\n

The best approach to creating jobs in Texas is for us to provide tax cuts, incentives and increase financing support for small businesses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That same sentence today has excised the words “tax cuts”:<\/p>\n

The best approach to creating jobs in Texas is for us to provide incentives and increase financing support for small businesses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In fact, as far as I can tell, that’s the only<\/em> change to that page. <\/p>\n

I have written the Sanchez campaign for an explanation of the change. I’ll let you know what they have to say if I ever receive a reply. <\/p>\n

Evidently tax cuts are so anathema to Democrats that even the hand-picked DNC candidate, running without serious primary opposition, running to be Senator from a very conservative state, and sure to be a heavy underdog in a general election in which Democratic control of the Senate will be up for grabs, is not allowed to mention them on his website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
