Comrade I need to remind you that the option to the unification ticket of Walker/Mallott was another four years of Parnell? He who campaigned on keeping ACES in tact but then immediately upon winning election set out to destroy the tax regimen that had allowed the state to save $17 Billion with a new plan written and delivered to the legislature by oil industry lobbyists? Walker is a pro-development Republican while Mallot is a rational, reasonable Democrat. The two work well together and are struggling mightily to make the difficult and principled changes that needed to be made to our revenue/spending habits. They struggle uphill in the face of a recalcitrant GOP controlled legislature still smarting from the fact that the these two beat their man Parnell. On a national as well as state level the Republican party has turned into a party of obstruction for the sake of obstruction because they are too afraid that their policies are no longer favored by American voters. We need change.
