It's true that they aren't targeting specific Democrats, like they are targeting specific Republicans.
But that's because you expect Democrats to raise taxes. They are not running against the real Republicans, who voted against the tax increase. What these weak Republicans did was go against their own party's leadership and philosophy to support a budget plan that included a tax increase, which the voters had already rejected.
It's sad that it takes Libertarians running to have any challenge to these squishy Republicans. The state G.O.P. should be willing to punish its own.
I'm a Republican. Here in Oregon, the Libertarian Party, while it includes some kooks, actually is building up a pretty good track record in helping to defeat tax increases, sometimes being the only ones out there campaigning against them. They were the people who successfully ran the "No on 28" campaign, traveling to every county in the state.
I sure don't want to lose the state house to the Democrats, but then again, I don't want a liberal majority ruling the house, regardless of party...and that's pretty much what we have now. Liberal Republicans join with Democrats, to create a tax-raising majority, which is unwilling to stand up to the public employee unions.
The Oregon G.O.P. is not well-run, although it is gradually improving, thanks, in part, to the Libertarians raising a stink. This state badly needs fiscal discipline, and I applaud the Libertarians for helping to steer it in that direction.
And what happens if the demo wins. That's called shooting yourself in the foot.
Like I said they are silent about the demos, 95% of them porbably voted for the tax increases.
It is interesting that they don't target any democrats. They would be more intellectually honest if they did.
