You know that famous saying, "Elections have
consequences." Well it's not true. At least not when Republicans win
elections. Republicans are the stupid party. Only Republicans could win a
record-setting historic landslide and still allow liberals to control the
agenda. It just happened in my hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. And trust me-
it's headed your way. You need to hear this story, study it and get ready to
fight it before it happens in your state.
It's already happening on the national level. Republican
cowards in Congress are backstabbing their own voters- the same loyal base that
handed them the biggest victory in modern American political history. Or have
you noticed any progress in stopping or even slowing Obama's agenda since that
landslide? Have you seen Congress cutting any spending? Cutting even one tax?
Starving the funding for Obamacare? An end to the border crisis? Any attempt by
Congress to stop Obama's amnesty for illegals?
Worse, have you read about the TPP (Trans Pacific
Partnership) mystery? Republicans are helping Obama pass major legislation that
could kill millions of American jobs, yet they admit they've never read it. No
one on Capital Hill has any idea what's in it. The full details of TPP are kept
in a special guarded room. Why? Something buried deep in the details must be
very, very, very bad. If Obama supports it, it can't promote free trade. It
must support socialism, economy-killing climate change regulations and open
borders. Yet the GOP is blindly helping Obama pass it. Great job boys!
So why did we win in a landslide? What was accomplished?
Where are the "consequences" of "elections have
consequences"? Only the GOP could win in a landslide and lose. This is the
gang who can't shoot straight. This is a team of half-wits who never miss an
opportunity to shoot themselves in the foot.
But nothing happening in DC compares to the idiots
running the Nevada GOP. They take the grand prize for "Stupidest
Republicans in America." Not just stupid, but traitors too. And liars.
They committed fraud upon their own voters. You have to hear this story.
Like the rest of America, the Nevada the GOP enjoyed a
landslide victory last November. We won EVERYTHING. Governor, Lt. Governor, all
five constitutional offices, the State Senate and the State Assembly. This is
the first time the GOP has controlled all of those offices since the 1920s. The
voters spoke loudly. They wanted smaller government, lower taxes and less
spending. Not only that but a ballot referendum supporting a business margins
tax on corporations was voted down by a 3 to 1 margin. THREE-TO-ONE. This was
the anti-tax, anti-big government sweep of a lifetime. Historic. Revolutionary.
You’d think the party that WON would understand the
message, right? WRONG.
So what did the Nevada GOP do with such a magnificent
mandate? They rewarded the same conservative anti-tax voters who had just given
them a mandate to hold down the size of government and taxes…with a proposal
for the biggest tax increase in Nevada history. Yes, I said tax increase. And with the help of a Republican Senate and
Republican Assembly, it passed last week. Our Nevada business taxes just grew
by $1.5 billion. Worse, this isn’t an old-fashioned business tax on profits.
This is a tax on revenue. So companies that break
even or lose money now owe taxes. This is basically the same "margins
tax" that lost 3 to 1 on the ballot only months ago. It lost in a
landslide so Republican Governor Brian Sandoval
decided to resurrect it and have Republicans own it and pass it.
Let’s make sure you get this straight. We elected
Republicans in a historic landslide to control every office in Nevada…and voted
down new taxes by a 3 to 1 margin…just so Republicans could turnaround and give
us the biggest tax increase in history and dramatically expand the size of
government.
Then in a sign of pure insanity or delusion, Republican
legislators rubbed salt in the wound in the Nevada newspaper (the Review
Journal). Republican leaders gloated over the massive record-setting tax
increase they just passed. One of them proudly stated, "We proved
Republicans can pass tax increases." The Republican politicians of this
state are without a doubt the stupidest Republicans in America. Let's examine
honestly and openly what they have done. Here are the 5 sins of the Nevada GOP.
And trust me…they are coming to a state near you.
SIN #1)
STUPIDITY:
It's not a crime to support higher taxes. There is a fair and honest debate. If you support raising taxes you have every right to your opinion. But you need to switch parties to the Democrat Party. You can't call yourself a Republican and then oppose the main tenant of your own platform. That's like opening up a Kosher restaurant that specializes in pork and shellfish. No one could be that dumb, could they? Look no further than Governor Brian Sandoval and the Nevada GOP leadership.

If you stand for raising my taxes, what makes you
different than a Democrat? Who needs Republicans to pass the biggest tax
increase in Nevada history? If we had elected Democrats they would have passed
the exact same thing. Conservatives won in a landslide and got the liberal
Democrat agenda. Something smells rotten in Vegas. More on that in a minute.
To deepen the mystery, GOP legislators are bragging about
it. You’re so dumb you don’t even understand your own party’s platform? Or
maybe like Nancy Pelosi, you had to pass the bill so you can read what’s in it?
You are clearly either confused…delusional...in the wrong party…completely
misunderstood the landslide that YOU won…or you're frauds and conmen.
SIN #2)
IGNORANCE:
In business and politics, branding is everything. If
people don't understand or remember your brand, you're out of business. The
Democratic Party brand is “tax and spend” and increase the size of government.
The GOP brand is lower taxes, less spending and reduce the size of government.
These are facts. They are written in each party’s platform- their own personal
constitution. What the Nevada GOP just did was suicide. You are morons. When
you’re alone at night do you press sharp objects against your skin? Do you cut
yourselves? Because you are clearly mentally ill. This is how you put yourself
out of business. Your brand is lower taxes…you won with that brand in a landslide…so you decided to vote for the
biggest tax increase in history?
SIN #3)
BETRAYAL:
Worse and even dumber, you betrayed the trust of your own
base- your most loyal supporters. You've violated the most important rules of
business:
First, the customer is always right. Second, if your
customer is wrong, refer back to the first rule.
You just stabbed your own biggest supporters in the back.
Name any business in America where any smart businessman screws his own base of
most-loyal customers? This would be like a hip-hop urban radio station deciding
to play country music for it's urban audience that hates country music. Bizarre.
Result? They'd be out of business within days…if their radio station wasn’t
burned to the ground by angry mobs first. Lesson learned? Never bite the hand
of your own customer. Only the smug establishment GOP could be this stupid.
SIN #4)
FRAUD:
Worst of all, Nevada's GOP leaders are bragging about committing fraud. If they wanted to pass the largest tax increase in history, why didn't they campaign on that idea? Why didn't they say "I am proud to be running as a Republican to raise your taxes. I promise to pass the biggest tax increase in Nevada history." But instead they lied and misrepresented their agenda. Why? Because they could never have been elected telling the truth. Isn’t that the definition of fraud? Of bait and switch? They lied to their own customers about their own product and what it does.

They lied to their own customers about their own product and what it does.
Here’s the
big question. Who paid them? Because this sure smells bad. It smells like
mafia-controlled garbage contractors. It smells like dead fish. Has someone
been promised millions in a Swiss bank account…or million dollar lobbyist
jobs…or million dollar corporate jobs? That would explain why Nevada Republican
leaders are so smug…so giddy…at the idea they’ve just lied to and backstabbed
their own voters. Instead of hiding, or being humble in victory, or even
pretending they didn't do what they did…they are publicly doing backflips and
high fives. Someone is clearly celebrating because they won the lottery.
Someone who voted "YES" against every principle of conservatism is
headed to a safety deposit box to count their newfound riches. Just an educated
guess.
SIN #5)
NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOOT YOURSELVES IN THE FOOT
Nevada is next door to California. The People’s Republic
of California now has the highest taxes in the nation. Rich people, middle
class people and small business owners are leaving in droves. Wait it gets
worse- California is so dumb they just voted to give Medicaid to illegal
immigrants. California is both insane and about to go bankrupt. They owe over
$200 billion in debt. Within 5 years the state will be unable to pay bills.
They will need a federal bailout. Everyone with high income, assets or common
sense is making plans to leave.
Wouldn’t this be the perfect time to showcase Nevada as
the perfect alternative? Wouldn’t this be the perfect time to showcase us as
the lowest tax state in the nation? As the state that protects taxpayers and
business owners? Who would be dumb enough to ruin that brand, at this perfect
moment in time to capture most of the tax refugees living right next door? The
answer to who could be that dumb…is Nevada's Republican Governor Brian Sandoval
and all the Republicans in the legislature who stabbed their own supporters in
the back.
Don’t elections have consequences? Aren’t the winners
supposed to reward their supporters? Aren’t the winners supposed to impose
their agenda? What did Republican voters get? They got screwed by their own
party. The dumbest Republicans in America reside in Nevada- and they just
committed fraud. They lied to the voters about what they believed in, their
agenda, what they'd do once elected. Bernie Madoff has nothing on the
Republican Governor and GOP leadership of Nevada.
As for the sins you've committed- dramatically increasing
spending, taxes and the size of government- you will all pay a big price in the
next election. I promise you.
