Comments on Advance Indiana™: Miller Throws Down Gauntlet To Long

Just shows you how Miller and Price have the heads so far up their ... collective intelligence... that they do not see reality. Otherwise how could they tie Property Taxes and Gays in the same breath?

According to email blasts from John Price and Eric...

According to email blasts from John Price and Eric Miller their rally is on regardless of tomorrow's weather.

I don't know how they can have it on their conscience to encourage people to drive from northern Indiana and southern Indiana to the capitol for this rally.

The weather forecast is bleak. Even our C.O.O. is warning our business will likely close tomorrow.

We certainly hope no one drives in bad weather. Hoosiers For Fair Taxation will report by 8 am as to whether they cancel, stating lives are more important than a rally in the scheme of things.

You know, the wrath of God cuts both ways. M

aybe Miller's Minions (in the form of Christain schoolkids allowed out for a field trip to the Statehouse and elderly widows emptied out of the Christian Old Folks Homes) will be unable to tranervse the cold and snow and ice to make it to his annual Hate the Gays (and the Property Taxes) Lovefest on Friday.

Wouldn't it be rich if the first time these kind of predictions come true it slugs the Unholy Trinity (Miller, Clark and Smith) instead of the gays?

Miller's quite the slobbering zealot in his hatred of homosexuals. So sad.

It is sad is that these men treat Hoosier lives as if we are nothing more than bargaining chips in a board game.

More and more people are fed up, wise to what is going on, and expect results.

The public is sick to death of these grown men putting their egos and squabbles ahead of what is good for Hoosiers.

Their behavior is shameful. Thank you, Gary for bringing light to the matter.

Whatever the degree to which Long may have contibuted to the situation, or has been taken for a ride by Eric Miller and others, the fact remains that the Indianapolis Star and other media have not yet picked up on the cover-up about significant drafter disagreements. I know their failure to report certain other things has been the target of your own ire.
If this were a defective consumer product situation, where manufacturing records were fudged and then concealed, no doubt they would be all over it, even if it took more than 200 words to explain.

Hopefully SJR7 will remain its current brain-dead status so they won't have to do post-mortems years laters when somebody complains "why weren't we told?" when it turns out that the measure was known to have problems from the beginning, and that the right-wing academics knew it all along.

Maybe there will yet be a slow news day where Star reporters get curious.

"now he has fleas"...that pretty much sums it up.

However, we're thinking HOOSIERS FOR FAIR TAXATION might cancel our rally tomorrow because of the weather. We shall make a final decision around 7am tomorrow.

2008-01-31T08:32:00.000-05:00

When discussing the religious right, Barry Goldwater said "every good Christian should line up and kick Jerry Falwell right in the ass." I'd say the same applies to folks like Miller. But you're right, Long is getting what he deserves at this point. The Repubs need to worry less about social engineering and usurping rights and more about protecting Hoosiers' wallets.

That's why it is hard to be sympathetic with Long ...

2008-01-31T08:18:00.000-05:00

That's why it is hard to be sympathetic with Long on this one, Don. He's been duplicitous to say the least. As an attorney, he should care more about the language we're attempting to add to our Bill of Rights. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to give a damn.

2008-01-31T08:13:00.000-05:00

I know it sounds like a broken record, and the media has yet to appreciate its significance, but Senator Long should have matched his call for a study commission on Miller's amendment with one calling for a thorough analysis of SJR7. Just like he wants to draw attention away from the fact that the total elimination of property taxes would not be matched by the amount of increases in sales and/or income taxes that he has claimed, he also wants to divert attention away from the fact that drafters of SJR7 had major doubts and disagreements concerning its meaning. This fact and its significance continues to produce deer in the headlight looks because it doesn't fit conveniently into a 15 second sound bite like "Preserve the sanctity of marriage" does.

2008-01-31T07:05:00.000-05:00

Think what you want, but you'll never be mistaken for someone who wants to work with the Democrats.

2008-01-31T06:14:00.000-05:00

10:37: gramatically spekaing you're wrong and Doug's right. But I get your point.

It's funny, Gary...I saw Eric Miller at the Statehouse yesterday, and I watched him walk away. There were several heads up his ass, but none belonged to the Senate President Pro Tem.

Just dropped the good Prez Pro Tem an e-mail asking him to hold tough. Maybe, if more of us do that, he'll feel empowered. To finally put Eric Miller in his place.

9:53--classy redefinition of the immigration problem. Get a life already. As mentioned here many times, you can have our own opinion, but not your own facts.

2008-01-30T22:37:00.000-05:00

They are anything but democratic. The term Democrat is accurate. Sorry.

He's gonna work with "Democrat legislators" is he?...

2008-01-30T22:05:00.000-05:00

He's gonna work with "Democrat legislators" is he? He might want to start by calling them "Democratic" legislators. Throwing Republican gang signs like using "Democrat" as an adjective probably isn't going to get everybody off on the right foot.

But then pulling a dick move like jamming up property tax cap legislation with anti-gay trash is pretty classless in the first place. That's not the work of someone trying to make progress. That's the work of someone trying to say "LOOK AT ME!"

2008-01-30T21:53:00.000-05:00

"The Senate passed legislation which is intended to drive Hispanic workers from our state." Nice try.

Was this a typo or did you mean to say: "The senate passed legislation which was intended to drive illegal aliens who are sucking off the government teat illegally, and bleeding this state and country of resources meant for legal citizens?

You make some good points here about Miller but glossing over the illegal alien thing isn't one of them.
