RINO pushes for higher sales tax

[surefire]

Our beloved RINO, who has signed such POS bills into action lately such as AB 1471, is now pushing to raise the sales tax:

Of course, it doesn't help that the idiots running the state have been spending out of control. However, it takes two to tango... I wish our Governor would just join his wife's party and stop pretending to be a conservative. He's a first class RINO, IMO.

I believe he is a true conservative. He (like Bush socializing banks) is simply doing what need to be done to fix our economy.

I would submit that you don't really know what, or who, a conservative is. In the case of the Governor raising taxes, and this would expecially pinch here in SoCo where we have just raised our sales tax again for SMART, doing so without first restructuring and sharply curtailing spending is the wrong direction.

May I commend you to read "Liberal Fasciscm" by Jonah Goldberg. It's available through the SoCo Library system and provides very clear and well researched discussions of what conservatives are, as well as liberals and progressives.
