My BFF Barack Obama sent me an email today asking me to support Marty O’Malley in his re-election bid for the Governor of Maryland;<\/p>\n
Since being elected Governor in 2006, Martin O’Malley has been a true champion for the people of Maryland.<\/p>\n
He has restored a sense of fiscal responsibility and helped the state grow sustainably, expanding access to health care coverage and continuing to improve Maryland’s schools, while also restoring the Chesapeake Bay. His four-year freeze on college tuition brought the cost of higher education within reach of middle-class families.<\/p>\n
Governor O’Malley has a lot more to contribute to your state — and I hope you will do your part to ensure he has four more years to continue his work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yeah, see that picture above? That’s Marty celebrating his “victory” raising taxes on Marylanders after just a year in office. Robert Ehrlich, his predecessor, left O’Malley a $650 million surplus – that’s how O’Malley “restored a sense of fiscal responsibility” by the largest tax increase in Maryland’s history. the increase went to $1.6 billion dollars of new spending. O’Malley threatened to cut essential services<\/a> to pay for his new spending projects if the legislature didn’t give him the tax increases.<\/p>\n
The Washington Times found $488 million<\/a> that Maryland paid in welfare money to recipients who hadn’t either supplied their Social Security number or gave the State a false SSN. <\/p>\n
O’Malley then declared it patriotic to pay<\/a> the additional tax – meanwhile non-patriotic Marylanders fled the state<\/a>. <\/p>\n
So, O’Malley is matched up against Erlich<\/a> again this Fall. I almost regret that I can’t vote against O’Malley – but at least I’m out from under his oppressive boot. <\/p>\n
Sorry, Barrack, you can’t count on me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
