Earlier today, the Ohio Democratic Party shrewed called on self-declared “Tea Party” Republican John Kasich to declare who he supported in the GOP primary for State Auditor: 1) ORP hand-picked candidate Delaware County Prosecutor David Yost, or 2) Tea Party favorite freshman Ohio House Rep. Seth Morgan.
After all, Kasich created the primary by selecting State Auditor Mary Taylor as his running mate.
According to the Dayton Daily News, Kasich’s spokeman claimed, “Kasich “hasn’t endorsed candidates in the primaries,” Rob Nichols, Kasich’s spokesman, said in an e-mail.
Kasich has told political allies he won’t run against Petro or Montgomery, whom he considers friends. He would, however, take on Blackwell, whose fiscal proposals Kasich views as irresponsible, sources said.

That was almost a year before the primary was held.
Then there’s this famous picture:
Again, that was July 13, 1999, some six months before the first caucus or primary in the 2000 GOP Presidential contest. John Kasich would rather be remembered for endorsing his “soul brother” George W. Bush, than actually stand with the Tea Party on their candidate for choice.
Rob Nichols told a bold-face lie.
Kasich has a history of getting involved in contested GOP primaries. Hell, he’s weighed in on primaries before most people even knew there was a contested primary.
John Kasich just doesn’t want to say anything further after pissing the Tea Party folks after he admitted that as Governor, of course, he’d take all the stimulus money he could get for the State.
We all knew he was lying. It was clear from the full context of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs’ quote which Rick tried to use to say he was being threatened by the Obama administration after his rant against the stimulus bill on CNBC. Funny thing is now he is backing way off the claims that he was threatened. Matt Lauer puts the heat on Santelli and he folds like a cheap tent:
SANTELLI: He started that press conference saying, “I don’t know where he lives, I don’t know where his house is.” This is the Press Secretary of the White House. Is that the kind of thing we want? Is that —
LIDDY: It’s a veiled threat.
SANTELLI: It really is. […] I don’t really want to be a spokesman, but I really am very proud of a) the response I’m getting, which is overwhelmingly positive, and b) discourse, that is debate. That if the pressure and the heat I’m taking from the White House – the fact my kids are nervous to go to school – I can take that, okay.
Liar. Plain and simple. Got caught. You can’t get away with this kind of crap anymore Ricky. Wise up.
So John McCain cancels Letterman in order to rush back to Washington to save the economy…but instead stops off to get makeup applied by his $5,000 American Idol makeup lady and sits for an interview with Couric. Um. Wow?
I’m not sure how long Brad Mascho (Steve Austria’s campaign manager) has been in politics, but obviously not long enough to know much. The response from the Austria campaign to their dishonorable attack against a genocide refugee is just priceless. Grammatically and substantively. I’ll put the full release in the extended so you can laugh, but this one caught my eye:
It appears she is knowingly willing to ignore the law and court records.
Someone tell me how you unknowingly are willing to do something? English not Brad’s first language? I’m sure Brad would want immigrants (illegal or otherwise) to “speak fucking English”. Why can’t he?
But the best part is when he just outright lies:
Our campaign learned of Sharen Neuhardt’s involvement harboring an illegal immigrant from the Dayton Daily News.
Yes. Because we all know how this works. Reporters work tirelessly digging up all the dirt they can on polticians while campaigns sit back and wait for them to publish something good.
Fuck me, Brad. Are you that stupid? You know full well you guys shopped this story around until you found an outlet willing to publish it so that you could then say you “learned of it”. That’s how the game works and you are either fully aware of that fact or too dumb to run a Congressional campaign.
Wait. The latter may very well be the case.
Stop trying to use a war-torn Rwandan refugee as political fodder. It’s sick and un-American. You ought to be actively seeking ways to help and calling on GPO attorneys to assist in his plight to gain citizenship and not have to return to a country where he has no family and no hope.
This:
Brad Mascho, Campaign Manager for Senator Steve Austria (R-Beavercreek), released the following statement today on the Dayton Daily News revelations in that Democrat Congressional Candidate Sharen Neuhardt has harbored an illegal immigrant on her estate
Is a fucking lie too. Outright lie. Ishema Umuhoza is in the country legally while his court cases are decided. The only person who said he was illegal was YOU quoted in the article:
“Harboring an illegal immigrant with a criminal record is a serious matter,” said Brad Mascho. “We will reserve judgment on this until all the facts have come to light.”
Nice way to reserve judgement dickhead!

We call upon you, before giving Larry Sinclair a stage from which to speak to the national press, to check the viability of his story. When the facts prove his story false, we request you deny him a place at your podium.
If you needed any indication of the slime that is going to be tossed in the next few months during the Presidential Election, one need look no further than Jeff Gannon (outed male hooker fake reporter) and Larry Sinclair (lying smear merchant seeking 5 minutes of fame) coming together at the National Press Club. No pun intended.
The National Press Club is going to give this lunatic the stage to do what? Spout his deranged nonsense about Obama having a drug induced homosexual affair? Please.
Action Item: Call the National Press Club (Sylvia Smith, President) at 202-662-7500, and tell them they need to deny an outlet for this smear merchant to slander a candidate running for President and a sitting Senator with absolutely no basis in fact.
