140 billion measure assailed for catering to special interests
Updated: 1:29 p.m. ET Oct. 22, 2004


WASHINGTON - Without fanfare, President Bush Friday signed into law a bill containing nearly $140 billion in corporate tax cuts denounced by critics on both sides of the aisle as a giveaway to special interests.

Bush signed the measure into law aboard Air Force One en route to a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, forgoing a public signing ceremony that would have attracted attention to the tax cuts less than two weeks before Election Day. The bill has been heavily criticized by both Democratic presidential rival John Kerry and Republican Sen. John McCain, among others.

McCain, an Arizona Republican who is campaigning for Bush, had called the measure "the worst example of the influence of special interests that I have ever seen."

6. Did any DEMOCRATS vote FOR it?

or was it an all GOP bill. Seems like a few Dems in the Senate at least would have had to sign off on it. Maybe this is w's farewell gift to the Corporations. He knows he is going down so it's like, well, here is one more little sumthin' I can do fer you fellars.

I know it was reall and signed aboard AF1. I saw it on MSNBC last night, but just a brief mention.
