How many have heard Republicans call us baby-killing socialists who want to grab their guns and hand out their hard-earned money to an army of shiftless layabouts (wink wink, those people) and believed them? Voted in the very people whose ideology says it's right for them to lose their jobs and scramble to keep body and soul together?

In how many places in Ohio can one easily find Democratic messaging? Hint: not even close to the way all you have to do to encounter Republican messaging is to turn on an AM radio or basic cable.
