OK, it’s more irony than an oxymoron, but since Kris used the term “oxymoronical” in the video I couldn’t resist that title. In 2009, then State Rep Kris Jordan speaks to Ohioans For Concealed Carry at their “Party in the Park 6″ held at Liberty Park on July 11th. Part of that talk seems very ironic now given the fact that Kris bought his wife a 9mm weapon for protection in their home when the protection she may have needed was from him:

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds, in fact, that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters think it is at least somewhat likely that most voters will be disappointed with Republicans in Congress before the next national elections. That includes 38% who say it is Very Likely.
Vote the bastards out! But vote these other bastards in who we’ll vote out next time! Gridlock ahoy!
Note to typical GOP bubble types: You may be tempted to think this means you guys can go carte blanche on the crazy, but you may want to think twice. Looks [...]

And you thought Ken Blackwell and Matt Naugle were bad. Um. Damn. But wait. There’s more! I get a feeling I’m going to be wanting more and more Basil. This clip makes me think whoever is working on his campaign is seriously messing with him:

America. What a country!

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Assuming it’s accurate that Republicans will get the House, how effective will that be in throwing a monkey wrench in the gears of everything Obama does?
JORDAN: If we win, what will we get done? Mostly, I’ll be honest, most of what we can get done is have the big fight, have the big debate, and have the framework for the 2012 election.
From Rob Portman, through the Congressional campaigns, even down to John Kasich the Republicans are completely unable to offer a philosophy of governance. They simply want to win in November [...]
Full Story... →Yesterday, GONGWER reported Ohio House Minority Leader Batchelder said this in response to questions about John Kasich’s income tax proposal:
“It was never his major proposal,” Mr. Batchelder said. “It was something he had discussed at one point, and very frankly I think that it’s very clear that with the economy where it is now, that kind of a change cannot be made.”
“When he originally said it he said very carefully that it depends on the economy,” he said.
If I were still a reporter, I would have turned off my digital recorder and politely told the House Minority [...]
Full Story... →It would not appear that this could get any better. The absolute hilarity and GOP #fail that is America Speaking Out. Get better it does:
“The Microsoft TownHall software, which is the underlying software on which the America Speaking Out website was built, is available at no cost,” Microsoft spokeswoman Sarah Anissipour said in an e-mailed statement. “Customers only pay to host their TownHall solution on Windows Azure, which is available using a scalable, pay-only-for-usage model. The number of people visiting a website does have a direct correlation to Windows Azure usage.” Translated out of P.R.-speak, that means [...]

Apparently you ask the Internet for one.
What happens when you ask the Internet for one?
The Internet pwns you, that’s what. Oh and we all get a side of LOL fantastitude.
Enter one America Speaking Out. Here is what John Boehner thought would happen:
“I would expect the ideas that come out of this Web site and the involvement of our members will lead to ideas that we can attempt to implement today,” [...]

Here’s a dude who admits his current views were formed when the “tape deck” in his car got stuck on right wing hate radio. LOL.

Full Story... →What I’ve been suspecting for some time is coming to pass, as Modern notes – Republicans have peaked.? They peaked right about the time of Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts.? My theory is that the new media cycle has hyper accelerated the over-hyped 1994 dynamic within the electorate (which didn’t peak in 1994 until about October.)? And that the passage of health care reform after that peak in 2010 brought the wave to a halt at the last stroke of Barack Obama’s pen on the bill.
For Democrats in Ohio, this means the biggest remaining risk for our ticket [...]
