(2,020 posts)The vast majority of voters stayed home this past November and gave Kasich a huge victory and even more incredibly right wing legislators here in Ohio. They are already going to do even more tax and take legislation. Massive giveaways to charters schools and their Republican owners, more graft and corruption at every level, taking away more money from public schools, and passing more of the women-hating legislation. It is astounding that the voters allowed this to happen, because of voter apathy. Of course, the Democratic candidate for Governor got lambasted in the GOP controlled press for being out with a female trade rep from Ireland some years ago. The trade rep soundly denied there was anything going on, but the news media ignored her statement. The potential Democratic voters stayed away in droves and allowed these cretins to be reelected by the lowest voter turnout in the history of Ohio.
But the true believers were satisfied, because none of the Democratic candidates were good enough to make an effort to go vote for. Ohio may never recover from the outright theft of public resources by this crew of GOP carpetbaggers. We will have a generation of children with substandard educations thanks to the budget cuts to public schools. Many people will die from the lack of health care. The city of Toledo had no drinking water for several days last summer thanks to a toxic algae bloom. The GOP leaders will do nothing to correct the amount of pollutants that are feeding the toxic algae in lakes all over Ohio and Lake Erie.
I would take any Democratic candidate over the criminal Kasich. Now, Ted Strickland has announced he will run for Senate against the incredibly corrupt Rob Portman. Democratic pundits are loudly complaining against Ted running, because he is not a good enough liberal and of course he is not exiting to their delicate sensibilities. It is almost like Democratic pundits have all been hired by Karl Rove.
I could not believe this woman's anti Ted Strickland rant. Disgusting. She would rather have Rob (Screw Workers)Portman reelected than vote for Ted Strickland, a reliable and good man and a good and proud Democrat. http://www.ohiodailyblog.com/
It is stunning that we are seeing all these posts against Democratic candidates on a blog that is to promote Democratic party politics and Democratic candidates. Seems we are being seriously trolled.
Thank you for saying this.
