Comments on: Muth: Gibbons is a tax-raiser! http://slashpolitics.lvcitylife.com/2010/02/muth-gibbons-is-a-tax-raiser/ Everything Nevada politics Mon, 06 Sep 2010 08:05:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Scorpiogalhttp://slashpolitics.lvcitylife.com/2010/02/muth-gibbons-is-a-tax-raiser/comment-page-1/#comment-242 Scorpiogal Thu, 25 Feb 2010 19:17:43 +0000 http://slashpolitics.lvcitylife.com/?p=644#comment-242 Perhaps Muth has overlooked the gestalt of the Governor's behavior during the past several years. Muth can stop beating his chest about Gibbons and "the pledge" any day now. If Muth bothered to have taken into account the fact Gibbons has been known to take liberty with the truth...texting....escorting women to parking garages or to DC and through airports....etc. then this should come as no surprise. The "Truth" is Gibbons ain't coming back into the fold the way Muth wants. If the tape Humbert scored isn't enough to convince Muth that Gibbons could give a rat's behind regarding accountability then perhaps Muth should buy a clue...tax free of course.

But it’s less clear for the health insurance premium increase. He compared it to a college tuition increase, which Muth said does not violate the pledge."“You have the option of not going to college. You have the option of not opting into the health care program,” Muth said. “It’s not a mandatory fee.”There is no law mandating one to extract hard rock material in Nevada nor to run a casino or to have an internet business doing intrastate/interstate business in Nevada or even own a restaurant, so why is Muth upset at any proposals to raise those and other fees when raising fees for college and increasing health insurance premium is not considered by Muth to be breaking the pledge?Did Muth actually call Gibbons a "friend"? Is he thus only calling upon Republican voters to act? Can one construe Muth's comments and robo calls as "partisan" in nature? Is Muth's charity involved in 'political campaigning'?

Here are some quotes from LVSun, 2/13/10:

““You have the option of not going to college. You have the option of not opting into the health care program,” Muth said. “It’s not a mandatory fee.”

Did Muth actually call Gibbons a “friend”? Is he thus only calling upon Republican voters to act? Can one construe Muth’s comments and robo calls as “partisan” in nature? Is Muth’s charity involved in ‘political campaigning’?
