For the record Candyman, my name is under the post because I researched it and I wrote it, I write my own material, no one writes for me, you on the other hand might benefit from a quest writer. <br /><br />What kind of name is Candyman anyway? <br /><br />Bob Haran,<br />PhoenixAmerican Conservative Republicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09522651432409497482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162566476053278450.post-30513224397451872882009-08-27T14:43:52.197-07:002009-08-27T14:43:52.197-07:00Ronald Reagan was a labor union President. That i...Ronald Reagan was a labor union President. That is a fact. And you get to "labor unions oppose secret ballots in their elections. Thus, conservatives must oppose secret ballots in their elections."<br /><br />Intellectually dishonest. Absurd.<br /><br />Ronald Reagan was a Democrat. He was for many years and this is a fact. And you get to "Conservatives should be supportive of Democrats."<br /><br />Intellectually dishonest. Absurd.<br /><br />Ronald Reagan strongly supported the right to abortion. It's true. Another fact. And you get to "If you're a conservative, you must support the right to abort unborn children because Reagan did."<br /><br />Intellectually dishonest. Absurd.<br /><br />Under President Reagan (and a liberal Democratic Congress the entire time but for two years in Senate), federal spending on liberal social programs increased dramatically. And you get to "If you're a conservative, you must support the dramatic expansion of spending on liberal social programs because Reagan signed budgets that expanded spending."<br /><br />Intellectually dishonest and absurd.<br /><br />Ronald Reagan, even as a Democrat, even as Governor of California never campaigned on tax increases. He never pushed and fought for tax increases. He had tax increases thrust upon him by an unfriendly legislature.<br /><br />Get your facts right. And stop letting Chuck Coughlin write your crummy blog postings for you. And stop trying to suggest that people have a duty to support Governor Brewer's efforts to raise taxes by $3 billion on Arizona's working families. And no one is opposing it because of Grover Norquist. That's equally absurd and intellectually dishonest.<br /><br />Gorman, Gould, Crump, Waring and Andy Biggs -- all respectable conservatives -- oppose it because they think passing the largest tax increase in history in the middle of a recession is a bad idea. It's a respectable position to take. Disagree, you may. But don't stoop to this intellectually dishonest, gutter politics to say that those honorable conservative legislators are somehow bad people because they oppose tax increases.Candymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764322835674283870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162566476053278450.post-15537296970643729032009-08-27T11:31:19.316-07:002009-08-27T11:31:19.316-07:00Bob,

The arch-conservative club, the Pchyderm Coalition even drew up a pledge for all Republican office seekers to sign: "No Taxes!"<br />And now, to my greatest dissapointment, we have a Republican Governor who proposes to increase Sales Tax by 18%.<br />Whom do you suggest to blame for that one? <br />Nancy Pelosi? Eleanore Roosevelt? Hillary?<br />I can name you 2 ladies and one fellow who do not want to be blamed for a tax increase. Guess who that is.Horst Kraushttp://shangrilaranch.comnoreply@blogger.com
