Anericans for Tax Reform has issued a press release criticizing the selection of John Edwards to run as VP on the Democratic ticket with John Kerry:
Like Kerry, Edwards has a nasty record of voting against taxpayers. In six short years he has amassed an anti-taxpayer record rivaling both Kerry and the other Massachusetts senator, Kennedy. Edwards voted against the 2001 and 2003 tax relief plans, voted 12 times against repealing the marriage penalty, 8 times against repealing the Death Tax, against the per-child tax credit, against suspending the gasoline tax, and is an ardent protectionist. In the last six years, if a policy was good for taxpayers, Edwards was on the wrong side every time.

In case it’s not clear from the post, ATR falls somewhat short of impartial on political issues – for those who don’t already know, this is Grover Norquist’s outfit. See here and especially here.
Is this the same Grover on Sesame Street?
