Gayle Harrell serves up red meat in first TV ad

State Rep. Gayle Harrell, a Stuart Republican challenging Congressman Tim Mahoney, bares her conservative soul in the first TV ad of the campaign. It opens with her walking past a framed poster of Ronald Reagan then touts her efforts to "cut property taxes $24-billion over five years."

But not too long ago, Harrell was boasting that she was the only House member to vote against Speaker Marco Rubio's tax swap. Sure, it would have increased the sales tax, as Harrell noted. But the overall effect would have been a tax decrease.

SHE'S A FLIP FLOPPER!!!!

That production stunk. I hope she can do better than that on the next go around.

If she had said she supported a tax cut of over 40 billion, then she would be a flip flopper. The 24 billion was the Governor/Senate plan.

She was smart not to vote for the tax swap turd.

Gayle Harrell FLIP FLOPS ALL DAY LONG! She voted against it before she voted for it.

keep spending cash you don't have seven months before an election.

RANDY NEILSON IS RIPPING YOU OFF!

Watch for a Mahoney scandal. Harrell or Rooney will easily beat this guy.

Harrell always supported a property tax cut. She always opposed a sales tax increase.

she's for parental notification. translation: I'm pro-choice, but i need some cover in a republican primary.

Harrell voted with pro-lifers on Terri Schiavo. Harrell voted with pro-lifers on parental notification. Harrell voted with pro-lifers on every abortion vote rated by the Christian Coalition since at least 2002. Get a clue.

AMAZING--- THE TIMES WRITES HOW BAD THE TAX PLAN WAS AT THE TIME, AND NOW ATTACKS HARRELL FOR STANDING ON PRINCIPLE. Raising the sales tax, no matter what the net affect, is a tax increase on millions of Floridians who don't own property. Gayle will never vote for an increase.

Rooney is light years behind Harrell. The party should unite behind her to take back this seat. At the end of the day even a guy who gets his family fortune from big race tracks can't raise enough to overcome Harrell's early lead.

Sugar won't let Mahoney lose. He is their pawn.

I doubt abortion will be much of an issue. But Harrell's record of being pro-choice is clear from her House Health Regulation Committee vote to table the Infants Born Alive Protection Act (H1211).
