that's the best part of it.. they suddenly realize that stuff costs money after running around the state telling their gullible, naive electorate how evil taxes are..

hmmmmm, cut taxes increase spending, balance the budget.  voodoo economics.  At least these guys know that it's impossible to do.

However, wanting small government doesn't mean no government.  Never has never will.  Roads/infrastucture is obviously something that needs to be addressed no matter what side of the aisle you are on.

I don't disagree.. but when they run around the state (and country at the national level) demonizing taxes, government spending, etc and are suddenly left to govern, it's interesting how quickly they change their tune.

I'm just wishing the America-lovin', Tea Partyin' types would admit that they've been duped.. that's all.

so you're unhappy that you've been duped into supporting America-lovin, Tea Partyin' types who raised your taxes?

I would be too, if I were you.

I looked at it through the fog of sleep while sipping my French press coffee this morning and, if I recall correctly, the female christian conservative, family values skank got 9% of the vote and the male christian conservative, family values skank got 4% of the vote.

either way, how anyone in their right might could vote for those two is mind-boggling. Of course, I believe they both did ask god for forgiveness, so... ya know, there's that.

I wish the right wing would just be honest with themselves and everyone else and basically say "we're really disappointed that white folks are rapidly becoming a minority in this country and so we're trying to legislate ourselves into power before it's too late"..

I mean, we all know their motives - and honesty is so much more refreshing.
