We will be making an effort to recruit a primary challenge to all 14 of the tax and spend Republican councilors.

Word to Dana, Don't waste your time trying to comment on this blog again. I realize you have a serious mental illness for which you are being treated, but I don't have the patience or the desire to see your ups and downs on this blog. Stick to the Daily Kos. There's plenty of your type over there.

Ogden reported on a civil war brewing inside the Marion County GOP. If there is a war, the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) is the resistance.

I hope all good Republicans intent on reforming their party will join with the Republican Liberty Caucus.

I will remain a Libertarian and cheer on the resistance from our sparkling clean waters, which are too principled and pure to leave.

I'm happy to lend the RLC a hand from time to time when they need it too. :)

Show of hands here. How many of you saw Kent Smith at every single one of those tax rallies during 2007? And how many of you remember hearing him say over and over again how he would oppose tax increases? I suppose we should have suspected that he was a fraud then because of how he made a living at that time--the subprime mortgage business.

Mike, The other 14 may have their own primary opponents with which to contend as a result of last night's vote.

Will the MCRCC turn against Christine Scales and try to have her dumped in 2011 for voting her conscience instead of toeing the party line?

I'm with AI. Mayor Peterson would be pursuing exactly the same objectionable policies that Mayor Ballard is were Peterson in office. The fact that Mayor Peterson is better at pushing those policies is actually a reason to want Ballard. I want these tax, borrow and spedn policies fail.

I frankly can't think of any policy differences between this administration and that of Bart Peterson's.

"Anybody wishing Peterson had won the election instead of the clown?"

Nope. At least this administration is not so good at hiding the shenanigans going on behind closed/semi-closed doors. They're still going on, but at least we're not being completely bamboozled by the frontman.

It is sad that Tom John is so lacking in basic understanding of political strategy that he authorized a press release bragging about how Republicans supported a tax increase.

In what political universe does Tom John live that Republicans bragging about a tax increase is good political strategy?

I don't know what Tom John's major in college was, but I certainly hope it wasn't political science. If it was he slept through the classes where they talked about political campaigns and strategy.

Reading that has not lowered my opinion of Tom John. It was already at rock bottom.

I'd love for just one of those folks (after several calming edits I've settled on 'folks' to describe them) spouting that 66k jobs nonsense to dare to back it up with factual data.

We'd probably laugh ourselves to death if ever if they ever could produce such information. Can there be 66,000 such jobs in the entire industry STATEWIDE? I doubt it.
