Then again, bloggers who post those voting records are now being targeted by the State "Ethics" Board.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214951.post-1160168532980957442006-10-06T16:02:00.000-05:002006-10-06T16:02:00.000-05:00In other words, you believe that a majority in thi...In other words, you believe that a majority in this state supports higher taxes and greater government spending? I don't, not for a minute.<BR/><BR/>Again, if there is a candidate out there who articulates smaller government and no tax increases, and even tax cuts in this overtaxed state, what need is there for Republicans to vote for Montgomery? Why accept less than half a loaf when you can have the whole loaf?Jeff Sadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972004592729833310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214951.post-1160168116372428082006-10-06T15:55:00.000-05:002006-10-06T15:55:00.000-05:00If we are going to start throwing out those Republ...If we are going to start throwing out those Republicans that support more taxes and more government, than the majority in Congress should be gone as well. I did not realize there is a test as to who can qualify for registering as a Republican. If we ever hope to become a majority party, perhaps we should welcome anyone who wishes to be part of our group. If not, we will always be in the minority.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214951.post-1160068069615245822006-10-05T12:07:00.000-05:002006-10-05T12:07:00.000-05:00I believe its time for a serious discussion on whe...I believe its time for a serious discussion on whether the voters of District 37 and the State Republican party is as weak in the mind as Montgomery beleives they are. Legislators that get accepted into the Republican party without a record and produce a records full of supporting more tax and more government is one thing. They should be thrown out. This speaks for the ethics of the party.<BR/><BR/>But, as has been pointed out here Montgomery can not hide his record and the only way he can win is to prevent having any opposition. Any other affiliated party, even Demo's should be welcomed and have a chance in District 37 against the record of Montgomery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
