34. November 18, 2016 Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Page 34 | Tax increases and flip-flops most damaging Hillary negatives Very Serious Doubts Total Doubts Clinton supports a tax plan that has been called "the mother of all tax increases" and will be the largest tax increase in American history, repealing the Bush tax cuts and adding trillions in new taxes. She says she will only tax the rich, but you can be sure her definition of “rich” is every working American. 3666 Clinton has pandered to the extreme anti-war radicals by voting to cut off funds to the troops in Iraq and supporting liberals' attack on General Petraeus. She opposes laws to let us listen-in on terrorists' phone calls and she would handcuff interrogators who are trying to save American lives 3564 Clinton will say and do anything to win. She supported the war in Iraq, now she wants to cut all funding for the troops she helped send to war. She supported drivers licenses for illegal immigrants, then flip-flopped when the politics changed. One of her top fundraisers has been indicted for fraud and she is being sued by a former staffer for massive campaign finance violations. 3563 Clinton represents the Washington establishment and can’t bring the kind of change we need. She makes decisions based on polls, not principles and is beholden to the special interests in Washington. If elected, we will have the same kind of polarized politics that we have had for the past fifteen years. 2957 Let me read you a series of statements about Democrat Hillary Clinton. For each statement, please tell me whether this description, if accurate, raises very serious doubts, serious doubts, minor doubts or no real doubts in your own mind about Democrat Hillary Clinton.

36. November 18, 2016 Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Page 36 | Tax increases and liberal positions most damaging Obama negatives Very Serious Doubts Total Serious Doubts Obama supports a tax plan that has been called "the mother of all tax increases" and will be the largest tax increase in American history. He wants to repeal the Bush tax cuts and raise the Social Security tax by over a trillion dollars. His tax increases will damage the economy and hurt the pocketbooks of average Americans. 3866 Obama is one of the 10 "Most Liberal Senators" in Congress. He supports gay adoptions and driver's licenses for illegal immigrants, but he voted against allowing people to use handguns to defend against intruders in their homes. He even opposed medical care for aborted fetuses who survived the abortion procedure. 3257 Obama has said that he would personally negotiate with the leaders of terrorist nations yet he also wants to attack Pakistan, a long time ally of the United States. No wonder newspapers across the country have said he has "yet to prove he has as much substance as style." 2557 Obama will say or do anything to get elected. He talks about reigning in lobbyists, but his campaign chairman lobbies for the big drug companies. And he supported funding for the war in Iraq until liberal interest groups pressured him, then flip-flopped and voted against a bill that provided billions in needed funding for our troops in the field. 2157 Obama is not patriotic enough to be our president. His father was a Muslim and he grew up in the world's most populated Islamic country. At a recent public event he didn't cover his heart during the national anthem and he has also recently stopped wearing an American flag pin. 2544 Let me read you a series of statements about Democrat Barack Obama. For each statement, please tell me whether this description, if accurate, raises very serious doubts, serious doubts, minor doubts or no real doubts in your own mind about Democrat Barack Obama.

39. November 18, 2016 Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Page 39 | Tying McCain to Bush on war, economy most successful Very Serious Doubts Total Serious Doubts Like Dick Cheney, McCain repeatedly insisted that the war in Iraq would be "easy" and that we would be greeted as liberators. He voted in support of Bush's Iraq policy 100 percent the time and his current position is "stay the course, no matter what." He wants to send more troops to Iraq and will leave it up to the Iraqis how long we stay in Iraq, even if that means our troops are there for 100 years or more. 3562 McCain is out of touch with middle class Americans on important economic issues, just like George Bush. McCain opposes increasing the minimum wage, wants to privatize Social Security and extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, and he even backed Bush's decision to veto a bill to extend health insurance to 10 million kids. 2958 When it comes to special interests, McCain is a hypocrite. A non-partisan study found McCain has 32 lobbyists among his chief fundraisers, more than any other presidential contender. He says he's never done favors for anyone, but he intervened with federal regulators to help a corporate pal buy a local TV station after taking four trips on his corporate jets and twenty thousand dollars in contributions. 2759 McCain will do or say anything to get elected. In the last election he called ultra-right-wing preachers "evil agents of intolerance" and the Swift Boat group "dishonest and dishonorable," but in his efforts to pander to the far-right, he now courts both groups. McCain has even changed his positions on abortion and immigration in his attempt to appease the far right. 2554 McCain is just another member of the corrupt Washington political establishment. He has been a Washington insider and politician for 26 years and if elected, McCain would be 72 years-old, the oldest person ever elected president. John McCain is a lifelong politician and cannot bring the change this country needs. 2144
