		<description>My last comment, I was trying to say Padgett held up the Friedman book like her Bible, at EVERY campaign stop I ever saw her speak at, as Jim Petro's running mate. Sorry for the typo.</description>

		<description>I think this is a weird moment where Eric and I find common ground, and agree that the Padgett/Sherrod Brown/Pat Buchanan view of trade is populism and patronage to special interests.

I never liked Mrs. Padgett- I loved it on the campaign trail and always held up a book by Thomas Friedman about the changing global marketplace. I would contend that Padgett has no understanding of economics or how to make Ohio competitive in the global marketplace. But since she is in office, she has time to kill, a flag manufacturer to benefit, and Chinese to bash. Especially in Ohio, both Democrats and Republican politicans thrive on this sort of nonsense, and I wish it would stop.</description>

		<description>I have to completely agree with Matt here.  Joy is one of my least favorite people.  Good to see Matt finally realize that.  Your buddy Dole sure was an apologist!

I've seen this in several states.  It's bunk.  I'm all for buying American and people should have that choice.  I support simply making sure the country of origin is on the products so consumers can have the choice.  I myself certainly would choose to buy an American made flag if available, but I surely don't want anyone fined or imprisoned.  

That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.  But then again, we all know Joy is kinda crazy.</description>

		<description>Gov. Strickland sponsored a similar measure in 2003 (I think) when he was an Ohio congressman.  It died in a House committee.  Padgett has several co-sponsors, all Democrats.  Minnesota has already passed a law that bans flag imports; it went into effect in 2007.</description>

		<description>This is nuts, and silly xenophobic protectionist poppycock. We should welcome imports, as our trade deficit is responsible for the foreign investment surplus.

Padgett doesn't understand economics, but  apparently knows enough about how to transfer ownership of the family farm two months before bankruptcy. Joy should have seen prison time.</description>
