I think it's both. "Woted 98 times to increase taxes," when several of the votes were on the same bill, is misleading, though technically true. The Bush number earlier in the campaign was 350, so I guess they're getting a little better. Did you go over to http://www.factcheck.org to ingestigate Kerry's voting record on taxes? I don't know what you consider "more likely than most," especially in light of the tax increases he voted on (increase in cigarette tax, the no-new-taxes-taxes, and Clinton's 1993 deficit reduction package). The relevant article is here, and this is the RNC rebuttal.

I'm not concerned with the actually number, only the substance underlying it. I don't have the links handy, but Kerry has been voted among the worst senators on taxes by those organizations (e.g., Jarvis) who track such things. Are you disputing this? Or are you disputing that that may be true but substatively his positions are moderate?
