Words To Live By
"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

Brace Yourself, The Liars Are Ramping It Up To Up Your Taxes

Thanks tax and spend liberals (Democrats) in the Minnesota Legislature there will be a constitutional tax increase on the ballot this November. If the bill passes, it will take another $11 Billion out of the hands of Minnesotans and put it into special interest groups. 

There will be no shortage of sob stories between now and election day. And there will be a guilt trip fest like never seen before. 

“You can’t vote against the environment.”

Well, you aren’t voting against the environment or arts, you’re voting against abusing the state constitution as a budget sheet. I believe the reason that Democrats put this on the ballot was because they ran out of money last session and knew they couldn’t raise taxes or cut more money out roads and bridges. They need that money for the electric choo choos they love. 

If you vote yes on this measure, you’ll be giving approval to wasteful spending. Oh sure, you’ll hear from all the special interest groups that will benefit from a constitutional tax increase, and how they can’t live with out it. But the fact is that state spending is going through the roof. They have another Billion dollar deficit coming this session.

This vote is not one against or for arts and outdoors, this is a vote about accountability. If the Legislature can’t do their job and is going to kick the can of spending priorities to the voters, then why do we even need them? They are soaking the tax payers in unethical pay increases with their per diems. 

Well, since we have to go do budgetary work for them on the ballot, do we get to collect a per diem for going and doing their job? Or better yet, bailing them out for their lack of fiscal accountability?

    Notice that it’s a sales tax, so the poor will be taxed to provide arts and entertainment for the rich. Notice also that the State already spends gobs of money on these things.

    Remember the Constitutional amendment we passed two years ago, to dedicate the sales tax to “roads and bridges”? Yet this year we had to pass another giant tax increase to fund roads and bridges? It’s a shell game, a con, a fraud, a dodge, an extortion racket. There is a simple solution to these unending tax increases: Vote against them, and against anybody that proposes them. They can’t squander money they don’t have, and “they” can’t squander money if they’re not in office.
