"All the candidates say they would repeal at least some of the tax cuts enacted during the Bush presidency, a high-risk stance that amounts to running for office on a pledge to raise taxes. The last Democratic presidential candidate to try that was Walter F. Mondale, who offered it in 1984 as part of a deficit reduction plan; he lost to President Ronald Reagan in a landslide."

No. No. No. A thousand times no! Clinton ran in '92 promising to raise taxes on those in the upper income strata. Yet this same untruth is repeated over and over again. I don't think Sanger or the Times have any particular agenda. Rather, it's an example of the lazy, incompetent reporting that typifies too much of the media. As Eugene McCarthy once said about the press:
"The national media behave like blackbirds on a telephone wire -- "when one flies away, all fly away.""
