Seems to me that there’s a difference between action and inaction. Rick’s spokesman says that he opposed it. Praise the Lord! But what did he actually DO to stop it? According to Kay, she was out there actively opposing the thing instead of just sitting around hoping it didn’t become law. I think that shows good leadership qualities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920044911439632666.post-33264304340126495462009-04-01T20:10:00.000-05:002009-04-01T20:10:00.000-05:00By "Rick supporters?"

Personally, I think too many politicians take inert stances on issues and don’t do anything about them. Why are you bashing her for proactively fighting against the income tax? Better than having someone sitting on the back bench with fingers crossed that TX doesn’t get slammed with an income tax.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920044911439632666.post-60075876377309994152009-04-01T19:48:00.000-05:002009-04-01T19:48:00.000-05:00Answer me this, guys:Does KBH claim to be the only...Answer me this, guys:<BR/><BR/>Does KBH claim to be the only person who opposed a state income tax? Yes.<BR/><BR/>Is that claim true? No.<BR/><BR/>There's your only relevant angle to this story. Governor Perry supporting a fellow Republican in 1993 is not worthy of the label "hypocrisy." Even in that quote, the Governor says he was also against a state income tax, further disproving KBH's claim.Wayne Slater's Research Assistantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920044911439632666.post-42841233420078384172009-04-01T19:45:00.000-05:002009-04-01T19:45:00.000-05:00I'd never doubt Rick vs. Kay, and think the origin...I'd never doubt Rick vs. Kay, and think the original post was perfectly legit. I do think you've got some pretty smart readers, though, as your comments demonstrate. Fact is, both Rick and Kay have something to crow about (or avoid) here.
