I would have posted this earlier, but I had to watch it a couple of more times. I love how Tony busts the GOP on their bullshit procedures. Too bad Ironic Johnny wasn’t there instead.

Like I said in my last post, I don’t have a dog in this fight. I watched the Stormland TV forum, here’s some things I took away from it;

LYON COUNTY CASINO

“We have known about this for awhile, so there should have been some proactive leadership.” Munsterman

SMOKING BAN

“It is a public safety and health issue . . . I support the ban for citizens.” Knudson

MEDICAL MARIJUANA – They all said they would vote ‘NO’ and not support the measure

3RD PENNY SALES TAX INCREASE

Knuppe, Knudson and Munsterman support the tax increase (Knudson even goes farther and feeds that same bullshit line the Events Center tax force fed us; “We are increasing the taxes – it will be up to the voters.”)

Doogard and Howie DO NOT support the tax increase.

“I’m not surprised you would support a tax increase, Dave.” Howie’s response to Knudson

FUNDING GOVERNMENT

Munsterman & Howie agree on finding new revenue sources (energy) to reduce taxes and bringing in more revenue for funding state government.

EDUCATION FUNDING

Doogard and Howie threw Knudson’s education funding idea (increase education funding at the same rate as revenue) overboard. Doogard pointed out the obvious;

“Over the past few years education would have seen no increase.”

CLOSING STATEMENTS

“Ken, don’t trust anyone in a fancy suit.” Knuppe quoting his grandfather

Who do I think won? Well, I didn’t see any real winners in the forum. I felt Doogard and Howie had a strong showing, but if I was an undecided voter, I would vote for Munsterman. He had fresh ideas that were much different then the other candidates.

Finally, another great letter to the editor (trust me, I don’t agree with everything, but thought it was funny);

The Iraq War is one of the biggest mistakes ever committed by the United States.

Hello?! Yah think?!

I even pray for the party-of-no Republican legislators that they get their heads on straight and not be so negative.

Until you are blue in the face, I suppose?

Politics are little like an electric system. You need the positive and the negative to work together to make light.

Like I said in the title of this post . . .

This guy even has trouble accepting some African Americans are Republicans.

This survey says just how f’ing crazy they really are;

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m putting the finishing touches on my new book, American Taliban, which catalogues the ways in which modern-day conservatives share the same agenda as radical Jihadists in the Islamic  world. But I found myself making certain claims about Republicans that I didn’t know if they could be backed up. So I thought, “why don’t we ask them directly?” And so, this massive poll, by non-partisan independent pollster Research 2000 of over 2,000 self-identified Republicans, was born.
