Except that Carly Fiorina isn't much better. We need Chuck DeVore out here in CA!

"Voted against eliminating the marriage tax penalty"

That's been voted in and out every 50 years or so, each time as a fix.

You can't have the following desireable two things with a progressive tax system:

1. Each couple with the same total income pays the same tax.

2. The income tax code neither favors nor disfavors marriage.

That's really an argument that a flat tax system is necessary, but it's taken as an argument for eternal reform from 1 to 2 and back again, as the public forgets the last time.

Anyway, ads proclaim their ignorance with the issue, which isn't great for the ad.
