You can just cut taxes without adjusting the budget. And that's what he did. In my opinion, not something we need right now in a President.

Hamster Sun, 10 Jun 2007 06:47:00 +0000 http://www.logipundit.com/blog/?p=1665#comment-2031 Car tax is what he ran on, and you can't deny him credit for doing his darnedest to make sure he fulfilled his promise. And he certainly did other stuff, but it was the highest profile. It was the biggest tax cut in VA history, and that's a good platform in my opinion. He's also got a record, outside of his governorship in law enforcement (attorney general of VA), and in terrorism (chair of National Terrorism Commission). But you're right about not being a dynamic speaker. And yes, wdp, that consistent conservative thing only goes so far, especially when you're the only "true conservative" candidate who is pro-choice up to X weeks. Not exactly consistent.<br/><br/>He's not my choice, but if the stars aligned for him, I would not be disappointed with him as the nominee.

Car tax. All he cared about and all he ever did for the state. Not much of a platform in my opinion. Never a dynamic speaker, you just don't envision him rallying the forces. Two words. Car tax.
