	<description>The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger).  The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.</description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let&#039;s review the current &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wisgop.org/Our_Platform.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;Republican&quot; Party of Wisconsin platform&lt;/a&gt;, shall we?
&lt;blockquote&gt;Recognizing that Wisconsin taxes are too high, we oppose any net increases in taxes and call for significant tax relief immediately. Because Wisconsin citizens still carry a heavier tax burden than citizens of other states, we call for a State constitutional amendment to limit government growth.&lt;/blockquote&gt;What came out of the Assembly, thanks to the 27 above, was anything but &quot;significant tax relief&quot; or an instrument that would &quot;limit government growth&quot;.  The portion of state government spending that would have been &quot;limited&quot; by this would not have changed one iota had this been put into the Constitution 20 years ago; and had this been put in 10 years ago, that portion of government spending would have been allowed to increase faster than it actually did (4.6% to 4.5%).

Hence, my terming of these politicians, as well as every Senator, as RINOs and RepubicRATs, stands.  They abandoned a position that was allegedly so important to the &quot;R&quot;PW, it was specifically put into its platform.  Remember, not only do the Republicans allegedly have the majority in both houses of the Legislature, but unlike the failed tax freezes, they only needed a simple majority to advance this.

I take it you didn&#039;t read &lt;a href=&quot;http://norunnyeggs.eggstor.com/?p=452&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;The &#039;Rat platform for &#039;06&quot;&lt;/a&gt;.  I suggest you do.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It must be nice to never have to think about whether any of these people you call RINOs have protected taxpayers except on something YOU think is important. Consider how much worse it would be with the Assembly with a Democratic majority. Come to think of it, maybe that&#039;s what you deserve.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[[...] For the &#8220;Republican&#8221; Party of Wisconsin, I have a challenge for you. Either support primary opponents of the career politicians above and in my original Rogues Gallery who actually supports the &#8220;R&#8221;PW platform, or adopt the DPW tax-and-spend socialistic economic platform at your convention. Don&#8217;t lie to us conservatives any longer.      &#160; [link] [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[[...] Once again, I&#8217;ll point out that the filing deadline to replace those on my Rogues Gallery is July 11, 2006. The State Elections Board even has a helpful Ballot Access Checklist and Campaign Finance Checklist (I assume that, if you&#8217;re running to replace a RINO/RepubicRAT with a conserative, you won&#8217;t be needing the Campaign Finance Checklist for those applying for a Wisconsin Election Campaign Fund grant).      &#160; [link] [...]]]></description>
