Pete du Pont wrote that "[t]ax rate reductions increase tax revenues. This truth has been proved at both state and federal levels, including by President Bush's 2003 tax cuts on income, capital gains and dividends." However, several former and current Bush administration economists have stated that tax cuts, including those passed under Bush, produce a net decrease in revenue. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200710300003 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:30:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703230007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703230007 Fri, 23 Mar 2007 16:13:29 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200606220005 In a June 21 column, former Delaware Gov. Pete du Pont (R) used misleading statistics to claim that the United States could dramatically increase its domestic production of oil and natural gas. In addition, du Pont praised nuclear power for creating "clean energy" because it does not produce carbon dioxide emissions. Less than a month ago, du Pont attacked "global warming alarmists" for blaming increased global temperatures on higher carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. http://mediamatters.org/items/200606220005 Thu, 22 Jun 2006 14:22:24 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200605250008 On <em>Fox News Live</em>, anchor Bill Hemmer interviewed <em>Wall Street Journal</em> columnist and former Gov. Pete Du Pont (R-DE) about <em>An Inconvenient Truth</em>, a new documentary on former Vice President Al Gore's campaign to raise awareness of global warming. During the interview, Hemmer repeatedly characterized as "convincing" Du Pont's <em>Journal</em> column, which presented a series of assertions on global warming that misrepresent the underlying scientific research and relied on a misleading, industry-funded study on climate change to claim that the "truth about 'global warming' is much less dire than Al Gore wants you to think." http://mediamatters.org/items/200605250008 Thu, 25 May 2006 14:07:22 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200605230011 <em>Wall Street Journal</em> columnist Pete Du Pont claimed that carbon dioxide is "not a pollutant" and repeatedly cited a misleading, industry-funded study on climate change to prove that the "truth about 'global warming' is much less dire than Al Gore wants you to think." Similarly, Rush Limbaugh noted that the "Antarctica ice sheeting is actually increasing" as evidence that global warming theory is "unsupportable by facts." http://mediamatters.org/items/200605230011 Tue, 23 May 2006 18:18:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200601240001 Defending President Bush's domestic spying program in his January 17 column, Pete du Pont claimed that "the federal courts have consistently ruled that the constitution gives the president the authority ... to acquire foreign intelligence without warrants or other approvals." But, contrary to his suggestion, these federal court rulings do not address the legality of Bush's authorization of the National Security Agency to conduct warrantless <em>domestic</em> surveillance. http://mediamatters.org/items/200601240001 Tue, 24 Jan 2006 12:43:36 EST
