September 21, 2002 Report challenges governors' splurges in spending Jeb one of few called fiscally responsible By Gannett News Service |
Incidentally, Jeb Rates an "A".
The Gannett News Service version of Stephen Moore's WSJ article has this to say about Governor Bush:
Two Re-publican governors — Florida’s Jeb Bush and Colorado’s Bill Owens — got A’s.
That's it. The Florida political news website didn't include a paragraph of detailed kudos for our Gov. from the original WSJ article, but we can cut them some slack because only the WSJ subscriber side is carrying it today. Last week the Republican Party of Florida, ran it and of course a Freeper, windchime, posted it: JEB Gets An "A" (Wall Street Journal), FR thread.
***Jeb Bush of Florida is the real tax-cutting fiscal conservative in the family. In a state with no income tax, Gov. Bush has cut the Florida property tax by $1 billion, and in 2001 he cut the business intangible tax by another $600 million. Earlier this year he took the unusual step of walking the halls of the Capitol himself asking members of both parties to oppose a sales tax hike sponsored by members of his own party. Mr. Bush has also distinguished himself by promoting one of the most innovative choice-based school reforms in the nation -- a plan that allows students in failing schools to go to any public or private school of their choice -- and by enacting tort reform legislation fiercely opposed by the trial lawyers.
E-mail the Gannett Fla. bureau contacts:
e-mail links here, and tell them the headline disses our Gov. when OUR Gov. deserves a positively glowing headline for the truth in the original article.
You might ask them where they found such an ugly picture of our good-looking Governor, and whether their McBride pic. came from "Glamour Shots".
Check out this latest News-Press article: McBride draws close in latest poll....Mason-Dixon. Either they've turned to the dark side as well, or the poll lies last week had an effect. There is no other explanation. Jeb's record cannot be argued against truthfully. The only way voters would choose McBride is because of the fawning DNC PR press (or they were from the socialist wing of the Dem. Party, thus McBride's kindred spirits). The press is actually comparing McBride to Jeb..the biggest lie yet and probably why some voters are being fooled. Grrrr.
This is warrrr!
NOW I know. LOL! Check out the link at #21, fv. I'm off to do some research into this report. There's no rational basis for it...a whole lot of hot air going around these parts.
We are going to be bad on the debate thread, aren't we? Lol!
