Fade into disgruntled Pennsylvania Trump Voter. It’s part of a 5 million dollar Ad Campaign by American Bridge. He regrets voting for Trump. Add some class warfare rhetoric. A little anti-elitism. Leave out the part where the guy never even voted in 2016.
Lying
Now if only the GOP were smart enough to pound on this all campaign season long
But that would be giving them the benefit of a very large doubt. Unlike Trump, they want to be “liked” by their political opponents. Who, as we all know, hate their guts to the core. Yet, to steal a phrase from The Resistance, “she they persisted” in not taking ahold of a perfect political meme (seriously, the Democrats ARE defending the MS-13 gang members from South America!) and running with it. Sure, a handful that are that are not going along with the GOPe insistence on using the Marquis of Queensberry boxing rules against the Dems adopting MMA rules (or put another way,
HB617 – Well, ONE Republican is making a big stink about raising the gas tax.
Well, I, Mike, and Steve are all over HB617, the bill that will raise the gas tax 18 cents over the next four years – and to hammer home the point, we can thank Republicans for greasing the skids to push this through without nary a cross vote. Well, one NH House Representative has spoken up about it – NH State Representative Bill O’Brien. And he has sent some information our way as well. In my post, it is obvious that Democrat David Campbell is all aflutter about his “hoodwinking” : “the gift that keeps on giving” – he is just ecstatic that he’s widened a revenue source for feeding Leviathan. Notice that wording – spoken as a true Statist in that the orientation is from State Treasury aspect.
Sidenote: Never mentions that in order for the State to “receive”, it is taking, by force, monies that New Hampshirites would otherwise be able to spend on their families. But, that’s how Progressives are – they are always convinced that they have a better purpose for your money than you do. They delight in using other peoples money (but really believe it was theirs to begin with).
Well, Bill decides to take Campbell to task for playing magician with the facts of the bill to one set of folks but boasting about it to the Democrat Leadership (Campbell’s letter after the jump) and adds some figures (emphasis mine):
David,
There is an additional spreadsheet you have on the 83% hike in the gas tax, but up to now you have only given to the Democratic leadership of the Finance, Resources and Fish & Game committees. That spreadsheet, which was prepared by the Department of Safety, points out that this near doubling of the gas tax will apply to all gas sales, but that gas used for snowmobiles and boats is not placed in the Highway Trust Fund, but instead is deposited into other funds.
Your disclosure of this fact to those committee leaders is inconsistent, of course, with the documents you have forwarded today showing only money going to roads and is contrary to your public protestations that “every dollar” of the gas tax hike will be going to roads. Instead, and as you said in the late afternoon Friday, February 22, 2013 email to the leadership of those committees, “[w]hen fully phased in [the gas tax] will generate $658,000 annually in General Fund revenue, $1,251,000 for Fish & Game and $593,000 for DRED/Trails.” This “extra revenue” going to Fish & Game and DRED will not, of course, be used to repair red-listed bridges.
Obama White House: ‘Home of the Whopper!’
The Washington Post would like Mr. Obama to stop lying.
I know, the Post, whodathunkit?
Problem: The Sequester. Obama is claiming it was Republicans who proposed it but this is not only ‘not true,’ Obama knows for a fact that the idea originated from his own Advisor – his Director of the National Economic Council, Gene Sperling.
Obama’s Chief of Staff, Jack Lew, was tasked with convincing Harry Reid to go along with the idea, which The Washington Post emphasises because Lew, like Obama, is lying about it as well.
