It's time for conservatives to abandon this absurd notion that the GOPe is small group and that the mainstream GOP is conservative, this simply isn't true. The GOP, almost to a man, DESPISES conservatives.
Many of us realize that the Democrats pander to minorities simply for votes and then immediately ignore them after the election, so why is it so hard for us to see that the GOP does the EXACT SAME THING to conservatives?

In a private e-mail exchange with a concerned parent, Republican state legislator Josh Byrnes of Iowa said there is nothing worse than homeschool parents making their views known on public school policy. People who home school their children, people who private school their children, are STILL BEING TAXED to pay for government schools. They're paying; they get to say how their money will be spent.

My experience is that those whose rail against bullying are, themselves, the biggest bullies.
Present exhibit: Home-schoolers should just shut-up and pay their taxes.

Let’s not forget about legislators who send their kids to private schools. Should they get a say in public school policy?

A vote for anyone but the GOP candidate is a vote for Hitlery. Lol. /sarc
The sooner we wake up and realize the GOP, and anyone who continues to vote for them, are the problem, the better off we'll be.

Not only that. They are citizens — to whom the elected are supposed to accountable.

What he really means is: There is nothing worse than that queasy, guilty feeling that overcomes him whenever he hears from a constitutionally conservative constituent who sees through his act and recognizes him for the statist that he is.

If we want to follow this line of thinking to this logical conclusion, only those who pay taxes should have a say in how their taxes are spent.
Now THAT'S a "compromise" I could get behind. What about you, Rep. Moorman?

The ruling class rightfully fears homeschoolers.
They are in the 85th+ percentile in academic performance,
have an average of 4-5 children per family,
and are 14 times more likely to be politically active than the general population.

These same people don’t think ANY taxpayers should have ANY say in what the government does with their money.

No taxation without representation. There’s a bill that conservatives could wholeheartedly endorse.
To: wagglebee
I stopped getting GOPe mailers when I started sending them back with an invoice asking for all the money I gave them since 2008 stating they failed to live up to their expectations and I would not be supporting any RINO candidates any longer.

Nothing worse than homeschool parents trying to tell us legislators how to run public schools when they dont use them themselves, State Rep. Byrnes wrote.Then why not write a bill that exempts them from paying school taxes?
To: arthurus
I’m dealing with a local municipal office
that is greatly offended that the representative branch
is challenging their ability to arbitrarily tax citizens
at different rates.

We send our son, and eventually our young daughters, to a private Catholic school. Because he is autistic we are required to go through the public school system in which we live to have an IEP written. The private school is in a different school system than the one in which we live; therefore, the entire process had to start in that public school system. It is ridiculous! Each public school system would get from the state $22,500/year for my son's autistic diagnosis. Our private school manages to do it for the same amount they charge every other parent, $2100/year. Gov. Kasich did sign into law the Peterson Scholarship, which means any special education student can take their tax dollars, up to $20K, and use it to go to a private school that accepts Peterson grants. The local districts here are furious because all of that special education money is going to private schools who are doing a much better job of not only educations students properly, but being excellent stewards of the tax money.
