Owen Courreges is taking Virginia Governor Mark Warner to task for breaking his promise not to raise taxes. As Owen points out, not only did Warner break his promise, but now he's claiming that he never made the promise in the first place. See how he lies when asked about it:

Q. During your campaign in 2001, you vowed not to raise taxes...

A. What I said in 2001 was that my intent was not to raise taxes.

Actual quote from Warner in 2001, cited in the Richmond-Times Dispatch:

''I will not raise taxes! I will not raise taxes! I will not raise taxes!"

You can see how Virginians may have mistakenly concluded that Warner wouldn't raise taxes.

Aside from denying that he ever said he wouldn't raise taxes, now Warner will do anything to prevent voters from deciding the issue of tax increases. He even went so far as to say that letting the voters decide would be extremely irresponsible. Considering they were stupid enough to put his sleazy ass in office, perhaps he's right.
