HUTCH RUNNIN’ SCARED, NOT
READY FOR PRIME TIME
Republican
lieutenant governor candidate and state senator Mark Hutchison's campaign isn't going too well...other than the
dough Gov. Brian Sandoval is raising
for him (which is nothing to sneeze at!). But in a GOP primary, his decidedly moderate
voting record in the last legislative session is coming back to haunt him and
giving his campaign fits!
First,
Hutch’s whole reason for being a state senator today centers around his boast
of filing a lawsuit to block ObamaCare in 2010.
However...
1.) It's unclear if he actually did much actual
work on the lawsuit…or just added his name to the work already done by attorney
generals from other states.
2.) He lost.
3.) After getting elected to the Nevada
Legislature, Hutch voted not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES to
implement ObamaCare here in Nevada!
And
then there's his record on taxes.
First,
he voted in 2013 to again raise/extend the $600 million-plus worth of
"temporary" tax hikes that were originally passed in 2009 and were
supposed to expire/"sunset" in 2011.
Secondly,
he proposed a new tax on Nevada's critical mining industry to the tune of
another $600 million-plus.
Thirdly,
he voted for additional 50 or so other "minor" tax and fee increases
in the 2013 session.
Not
exactly a friend of the taxpayer!
Which
brings us to his recent televised debate with his conservative GOP opponent, Sue Lowden.
During
the debate, Hutch was challenged over and over again on his voting
record...and, man, did he ever blow his stack!
It was all the red-faced senator could do to keep his head from
exploding right there on the air.
It
was
so bad that Hutch is now refusing to do any further televised debates
with Lowden. Apparently his entire schedule between now
and June 4 is completely booked...and well, he just can't fit in another
head-to-head.
Yeah,
right.
The
problem is - as we've sadly come to learn – Sen. Hutch is simply no longer his
own man. His campaign
"brain"-trust, led by political apparatchik Mike Slanker, is calling all his shots. And you can bet after that first debate performance,
they ain't letting their candidate anywhere near another televised debate.
Which
begs the question...
If
the man isn't ready for prime time as a lieutenant governor candidate, what makes him ready to be
lieutenant governor?
Or,
should the circumstance present itself sometime down the road, governor?
In
light of the above, please help me pick an unofficial nickname for Sen.
Hutchison by taking part in a new online poll at www.MuthsTruths.com…
What
do you think is the most appropriate nickname for Republican lieutenant
governor candidate Mark Hutchison?*
- Moderate Mark
- Mr. ObamaCare
- The Tax Man
- Hot Head Hutch
- Chicken Man
