He is a conservative with backbone. He understands what we are up against. I have attempted to ask each man questions. J.D. answered everything I asked him. He has taken a real interest in me as a citizen. He happens to embrace the same principals I do. On the other hand Gurr has never shook my hand or even made eye contact with me or my husband. He never answered one message I sent to him with questions about where he stood on issues. I have had enough of the silent treatment from Boehner. Gurr seemed to refer to himself repeatedly when talking. Nothing about representing us. I have had it with those entering politics to fatten their bank accounts. I will demand accountability and since J.D. is the co-founder of the Ohio Accountability Project he is again in line with my principals. I expect a response when I ask a question of my elected representative. J.D. Winteregg is the 1st to pass that test. He has a conversation with my husband and I even though it is obvious we are not big financial contributors. I am so ready for for an honest person. Thank you for being that J.D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-56618965837845488152014-03-12T10:02:00.036-04:002014-03-12T10:02:00.036-04:00I've heard both Gurr and Winteregg debate in f...I've heard both Gurr and Winteregg debate in forums. Understanding the progressive mindset is key. The moment you start talking policy with progressives, you enter into a negotiation and have lost. The only way progressives "negotiate" is by forcing conservatives to give up something, while they get something out of it. They are masters of creating and utilizing conflict toward that end. You can't fight progressivism with policy, which is what Gurr wants to do. If anyone could fight progressivism with policy, then Boehner could have done it. Conservatives who try to fight progressivism with policy...lose! Policy peacemakers will lose! Principle is the only way to win against progressivism. You have to have the guts to stand your ground when the left sends everyone reeling. Guts don't come from "being set in your ways," as Gurr says will help him stand his ground against the influences of Washington, nor do guts come from quoting Bible verses when it is convenient, which is what Gurr has started doing. Obama quotes Bible verses, too, but that doesn't mean respects God. Guts come from knowing what is right and depending on God's strength, not human strength, resources, etc. Winteregg gets this, too. This is why we need Winteregg for Ohio's 8th District!!!!principled conservatismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12748977565180760117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-89247005323268354822014-02-27T11:04:38.521-05:002014-02-27T11:04:38.521-05:00Wintergg is just another Boehner and his puppet ma...Wintergg is just another Boehner and his puppet master Don Birds all of the Dayton Tea Party is just another statist.

Plus, imagine a 20% sales tax on home or car purchases (20% is about the amount usually bandied about for the fair tax). Want to buy a $24,000 car? OK, there's your state's sales tax (say 5%), plus the 20% for the fair tax, and total cost is now $30,000. Want a good interest rate on the loan? Then you're going to need to finance no more than 80% of the sale price; but that is not including the taxes. So you'll need to put $10,800 down, or > 33% of your total cost, to get a 20% down payment. Think back to what happened to the US boat business when they instituted a 10% "luxury" tax during HW Bush's administration: it all but died. The fair tax will kill any big ticket item sales, except for those made in the shadow economy that will result.<br /><br />What we need is a tax that everyone pays, and everyone pays the same. We need a per-person fixed fee. Everyone owes the same; no exceptions, waivers, or deductions. Can't pay: go to prison (which is what we do with people who don't pay now), or sell your vote. Allow people who pay another's tax bill to choose who gets to cast that person's vote.<br /><br />Most of our problems with waste, crony capitalism, and overspending at the federal level are caused because, of the 240 million people of voting age, only 70 million pay federal taxes. 170 million people don't care about government's costs because they don't bear those costs. It seems reasonable to me that if I pay nothing to support government, I should have no say in who runs it and sets its policies (just as I have no say in what car you buy, since I am not helping to pay for it). And if you pay my tax bill, it seems reasonable to me that you get to choose who may cast my vote at the next election.<br /><br />Of course, this scheme would require a change in the US Constitution. But any system of taxation which allows some to pay nothing while still allowing them to vote will eventually morph into the system we have now, with a majority of eligible voters paying no tax at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-88822718560944580282014-02-22T22:30:04.273-05:002014-02-22T22:30:04.273-05:00ANYBODY over Boehner.
