Ohio republicans have ever been rockefellar republicans. I live in the state. They are fiscal/budget conservatives and social liberals on anything they can get away with.
Governor Taft's first act was a call to raise taxes.
"Republican" Governor Sonny Perdue of Georgia also set about seeking to raise taxes. Albeit 'sin' taxes, only tobacco and liquor, and he did some budget cutting, BUT there is room for more.
Now where are the people who say that there are major differences between Republicrats and Democrans?
