CA-11: A Tale of Two McNerneys

Posted by Matt Ortega · November 4, 2007

McNerney ‘06, meet McNerney ‘07. I don’t think you two have met.

Jerry McNerney 2006:

So when we win this race in November a powerful message will be sent to those in Washington: Democrats can win in so called red areas when they run on Democratic issues not as Republican-Lites. [emphasis added]

Jerry McNerney 2006:

Q: Do you support the permanent repeal of the federal estate tax?

A: No.

Jerry McNerney 2007 (Hat tip: babaloo, Firedoglake):

In the long term, I’d like to eliminate the estate tax permanently. [emphasis added]

Here’s a headline from the New York Times in June 2006, “G.O.P. Fails in Attempt to Repeal Estate Tax.” Think about that for a moment.
