This morning on Fox News Sunday, President Bush indicated he would jump on the campaign trail for John McCain. The President attempted to sell the American public that McCain is a true conservative who deserves support from the entire republican party base for his quest to become the next commander-in-chief. This morning the Buzz on Florida Politics carried a short clip indicating that former Governor Jeb Bush sent a check to presumptive GOP nominee, John McCain, and stated this is a clear message to skeptical republicans.
The audible groans from the audience were clear when Mitt Romney bowed out of the race at the annual CPAC convention last week, paving a smooth path for a John McCain nomination of the republican party or will it? Did anyone happen to notice Mike Huckabee won 2 of the 3 states yesterday, not their presumptive front-runner John McCain? Cartoons and quotes have attempted to drive a stake into the heart of conservatism last week. Liberal media pundits are giddy with the notion the conservative movement in this country is dead upon arrival but the November General Election will be the only true indicator.
You can dress up a pig for a party social by putting lipstick on it but at the end of the party all you have is the same old pig. This analogy is similiar to that of John McCain with the republican big wigs now attempting to paint him as a true conservative. At the end of the campaign trail, the republican party will still have a quasi-democrat as their nominee...

It seems to me that you would support John McCain he doesn't support tax cuts either. Kind of like the pot calling the kettle.....
Actually, I do support sound, tax reduction which benefits the entire community. I applauded the record Ad Valorem reduction by the BCC last fall while speaking out against the increase in our fire rates. With the passage of Amendment 1,all of us will benefit with a increase in Homestead Exemption to $50K, a cap on business assessments at 10%, and exemptions for up to $25K on business tangibles. These tax reductions will also make the county government tighten their belt another $9.2 million or more.
The problem is, I haven't jumped on your bandwagon for targeted tax cuts to help some unscrupulous realtors, builders, and house flippers that super-inflated the housing industry and are now crying foul. These are the same realtors, builders and house flippers that choose to blame the government for all their problems, instead of researching actual business trends that drive the economy...

You supported both half cent sales tax increases in 2004 or have you forgotten that. Your hatred has blinded you it's a shame.
Actually, you are practicing revisionist history. I spoke out against the chairwoman and state committeeman of the HCREC in 2004 for attempting to run a propaganda based attack on the county, and the school board, with their "Ax the Tax" campaign. In fact, the REC proceeded with this hostile campaign after the chairwoman used an illegal vote of the REC to accomplish their task.
I still stand behind the position I took in 2004. I firmly believed, then, as I do now, that it was up the voters to decide if they wanted increases in sales tax for the county and schools, not the decision of a few "political insider hacks" in REC who attempted to manipulate the entire county's opinion with their hate-filled rhetoric.
