The video is hilarious, watching the press start to circle this guy who wants to be the next governor of Virginia as he attempts to spin, it looks like a feeding frenzy. He is attempting to parse a statement he made during the debate on taxes  In the debate he said he wasn&#8217;t gong to raise taxes but apparently that only meant for the general fund (which he clarifies to the reporters after the debate &#8212; the general audience has no idea that he was, in effect, crossing his fingers when he said he wouldn&#8217;t raise taxes) since he&#8217;s wants to raise &#8220;money&#8221; for transportation. When pressed by the reporters to state that he plans to raise taxes for transportation, he will only say that he plans to raise &#8220;money&#8221; for transportation. Maybe he has bake sales in mind. BTW, taxes that fall outside the general fund include the gas tax (according to the video). Look out, Virginians, it&#8217;s coming.<object width=\"560\" height=\"340\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/vE6d36a2gso&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x2b405b&#038;color2=0x6b8ab6\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/vE6d36a2gso&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x2b405b&#038;color2=0x6b8ab6\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\"><\/embed><\/object>(<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PatrickRuffini\/status\/4078299219\">via<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s so much fun watching politicians get caught in their own web of deception.
