Andrew, doesn’t this qualify for one of <$NoAd$> your awards?
It’s like when the hijackers took over those four planes on Sept. 11 and took people to a place where they didn’t want to go. I think a lot of people feel that liberals have taken our country somewhere we don’t want to go. I think a lot more people realize this is our country and we’re going to take it back.
Missouri State Representative Cynthia Davis, as quoted in the Times.
Late Update: TPM reader JB sends in this election listing for Davis in which Davis writes “People are tired of silly political games. I always have treated everybody with dignity and honor regardless of our political affiliations. Likewise, I have colleagues from both parties who show me a great deal of respect. My goal is to stand up for principles, not politics (emphasis added).”
Even Later Update: TPM reader SS writes in to note that further down on the aforementioned election listing, Davis says that the current tax system is unfair and that “the only way to have a fair tax is to have a flat tax or a poll tax (emphasis added).” A poll tax. Base our national tax system around a poll tax. I’m ashamed that this woman got elected to anything in the state where I was born.
