You & Dewhurst might be advocates of coming in the back way to extract taxes thinking folks won’t recognize what’s being done to them. But any woman will tell you that whether you’re raped from the front or the back, it’s still rape. You can’t hide the fact that it’s rape by coming in the back way. Nobody’s fooled!
If an employee’s employer has a new tax levied on the employee’s wages, it’s still a tax. And it’s a tax that will come from money that might otherwise have gone (now or in the future) directly to the employee—it’s a cost of employing that employee.
Vote Tea Party! Vote Ted Cruz.
PS — ngat, you must be beginning to feel that sinking feeling of impending doom that the Lugarites began to feel in the couple of weeks leading up to the Indiana primary. I can almost feel the tension coming through your posts.
Here’s a link I had intended to post but forgot (I’ve been posting during “House Series Finale” commercials).
Not at all, House.
Dewhurst will win this simply because the comparison with Lugar is ridiculous, and the vast majority of Texans know it.
So, real conservatives will save you from feeling the disappointment you would feel when you found out Cruz’ professed tea-party beliefs were but a ploy on the part of a smart lawyer to vault into a Senate seat position in his very first try at elective office, by hanging onto the skirt of Sarah Palin and taking advantage of inexperienced tea-party suckers like you. This has already been experienced in 2010 in other states by tea-partiers.
But, conservatives really did not expect to be attacked with lies like this by tea-partiers who claim to be conservative.
Any official at any level of government can be attacked for mere discussion of any proposal to collect revenue because they are wrestling with the budget problems of a state government trying to comply with federal government mandates in the areas of health, education, and welfare and created by allowing uncontrolled immigration into this border state.
Cruz, smart debater that he is knows this ploy. Since Cruz has never even been elected dogcatcher, much less ever served in any legislative body, and has never been responsible for any budget anywhere, he is therefore immune from such attacks.
Good, underhanded tactic, but I don’t think it will be enough to put Cruz over the top.
