When a RINO is a RINO...
Tom Sheehan's article in yesterday's Journal Times Online juxtaposition that Representative Frank Lasee's position and demeanor needs to change because he might be hurting the feelings of his Republican colleagues, for what? Telling the truth?
This is the same thing that happened last year when Grothman and Panzer hijacked the bill, bastardized it, and it was never brought to a vote. Since then, Panzer lost her seat by an 80-20% margin. Lasee's version is the only one I want even to be brought to a vote. A watered down TABOR is no good and probably will make things even worse.
So, it appears that Sheehan is playing the ‘divide and conquer’ route. He is pitting the conservative republicans against the RINO’s. Frankly, (pun intended). I want this played out. Wisconsin is getting sick of the taxes it has to pay and does not want to be considered a tax hell. TABOR is not a ‘Got to do it now thing’. People will get fed up sooner than later, will get educated and learn that the sky will not be falling, and will require the government not to live beyond it’s means, just like every citizen of Wisconsin has to.
To find out if your Representative’s and Senator’s are for a STRONG TABOR refer to this article. It will expose them if they are not for the Lasee version of TABOR: Where do RINOs stand on the Taxpayer Bill of Rights? Our Republican representatives need to act on the behalf of the people who elected them, not act in a way just to get re-elected. Frank Lasee is right on in this aspect and Tom Sheehan is barking up the wrong tree.
But if he wants TABOR to have legs in the Legislature, he may want to put on a smiley face, at least for his Republican colleagues.
