Ghiz attacked for endorsing Democrat David Pepper

Dear fellow tax hikers, the conservative candidate for County Commissioner Chris Monzel has just released a tv ad reminding the voters that Leslie Ghiz endorsed Democrat David Pepper for County Commissioner.  It also states that Ghiz helped Pepper raise taxes.  You can see the ad for yourself:



These claims are 100% true and that's why we have proudly endorsed Leslie Ghiz for Commissioner!   Ghiz did indeed endorse Democrat David Pepper for Commissioner in 2006.  This allowed him to win the race, and gave control of our county to the tax-and-spend Democrats.  Their first major act was to implement a huge $800 million Sales Tax hike that we of course endorsed.  Ghiz was one of the first elected officials to endorse this big tax increase.

The ad states that Chris Monzel opposed the $200 million streetcar.  Unfortunately that is true, too.  But Leslie Ghiz proudly joined with Mark Mallory to build this necessary trolley.   This ad also states that being a conservative Republican means something to Chris Monzel.  And that is why he must be stopped!

We stand for everything Ghiz stands for - higher taxes, streetcar spending, supporting taxpayer-funded domestic partner coverage for gays, and endorsing great Democrats like David Pepper.  Being a tax hiker means something to us.  Leslie Ghiz for Commissioner!

I'm very proud of Leslie Ghiz for raising taxes and endorsing Pepper for County Commissioner. As you all know, I endorsed Todd Portune in 2008 and also won the prestigious Tax Hiker of the Year award that same year for all the tax increases I've endorsed. We need more great Republicans like Leslie who support Democrats and raise taxes.

Without Leslie's support, I wouldn't be where I am today, a county commissioner, raising gobs of money for my first statewide race, and well-positioned to run for Governor in 2014.

Thank you, Leslie, from the bottom of my heart.

I'm glad someone has the guts to call out Ghiz for her outrageous behavior. For years party leaders have told Republicans to shut up and let Ghiz do what she wants. Now people aren't listening to them anymore and Ghiz has to defend her record.

What kind of Republican would endorse David Pepper for Commissioner? Why would a Republican run as an anti-tax candidate when she voted for a massive tax increase? Why would a Republican support a $200 million streetcar then run as a fiscal conservative?

Monzel may not be 100% perfect but he's been right on all the big issues. And he's never endorsed David Pepper. He's got my vote.

Just because my wife's a Republican doesn't mean anything.

What's wrong with supporting a tax-and-spend Democrat? Ghiz is a woman, she should be able to get away with it.

Her flip flop on the trolley issue makes me proud!
