BP has a special place in this Clevelander’s heart. Remember Sohio? Remember Ida Tarbell and John D. Rockefeller?
To Rob Portman and John Kasich, the wreckage left behind by these two catastrophic events is not just who they are, or what they believe, it is what they think is right for America. Rob Portman and John Kasich believe that this oil spill, and the financial collapse, are merely costs for our freedom – things that we should let the free market decide will happen. Take a close look at that video from a mile below the sea, for it [...]
Full Story... →But this is the appropriate response.? Nice work, ODP.
Full Story... →Managed to get a hold of Rob Portman’s schedule for today.? Some interesting things in there, including:
1:30 P.M.: Tea Party Rally w/Rep. John Boehner
Location: National Mall *Note: Some Ohio observers are convinced that you are moderate ? we need to beat back that narrative and show your true conservative colors. Get loud, get angry. You will receive your ?Repeal Health Care? sign on site. *Note from Jessica: Stay silent should anyone say anything offensive, outrageous, untrue.
and my favorite:
9:00 P.M.: FUNDRAISER–RNC Young Eagles & Chair Michael Steele—Closed Press CANCELED CANCELED Club TBD
Washington, D.C. [...]
Word is that the head to head, Brunner-Fisher number may come out later this week, but this is what Lee Fisher’s campaign has gotten him, 6 weeks before the primary.
His [Portman's] advantage? is 38-37 over Jennifer Brunner and 41-36 against Lee Fisher.
How much did Lee Fisher spend in the last year to prove to us that he’ll do worse against Portman than Brunner will?? A million dollars?? Two million?? Lee, you could have just quoted this blog, we’ve been proving that for free.
Full Story... →It probably seemed like a good idea at the time for Rob Portman – accepting the nomination to be George W. Bush’s trade representative, precisely 5 years ago today.? After all, Rob Portman, now a famed Birther, who happily laughs at jokes claiming Barack Obama is an illegal alien, is a true believer in zero regulation of markets, to the point of ideological purity.
Today, 5 years later, we Ohioans live in the world Rob Portman’s slavish devotion to his ideology has created – a nuclear winter aftermath of total economic collapse created entirely by Republican dogma, a dogma whose [...]
Full Story... →I’ve been saying this to people for a while, but I haven’t blogged it in a while.? Time to fix that!
Democrats will be able to defeat Republicans by running against George W. Bush for decades to come.
Repeat.
DECADES.
And if Democrats don’t do precisely that in 2010, they will be committing political malpractice.? Some dude running for some random office 20 years from now in Anytown, USA, will have taken a picture with George W. Bush at his college Republican shindig and will whine about that picture’s use against him, and he’ll still [...]
Full Story... →I’ve just seen this ad by Tom Ganley twice in the last 2 hours on two separate Cleveland broadcasts on local ABC affiliate WEWS in the 6pm local news (big money slot), and just after Jeopardy before primetime (highest dollar). ?Which means Rob Portman is about to be deepthroat teabagged for 4 solid months. ?Let it hang, Rob!
Full Story... →Anthony gets Lee at the Barack Obama event in Elyria – why couldn’t Lee be at the Barack Obama event last year in his hometown of Shaker Hts? I digress – and Lee does what Lee does best. ?Talks a lot, says precisely nothing.
In particular, Lee would not answer any process questions on health care, i.e., should the House just pass the Senate bill as is, or start over, or push through with reconciliation, or do something else. ? Process questions are the ONLY questions remaining on health care, and Lee just blah blahs his way past the [...]
Full Story... →Rob Portman just sent me a fundraising email titled “Stop the Bailouts! End TARP!”
Here’s the main part:
“Seems like every other day, Democrats in Washington have found a new group to bail out using our tax dollars. In fact, the only people who haven?t been bailed out by Washington’s massive spending are the working families and small business owners who are among those suffering most under this historic economic crisis.”
It sounds like Rob Portman’s knowledge of what’s going on in Washington is no better than that of Duct Tape Dude.
You know there is a problem [...]
Full Story... →Jon Keeling, everyone’s favorite taxpayer funded, former John Kasich staffer, Ohio Republican douchebag blogger, is really tipping his hand lately.? Yesterday, Jon Keeling made it clear he’d rather that Rob Portman run against Lee Fisher.? Today, he takes a silly shot at Tom Ganley, Portman’s teabagging, NY23 Doug Hoffman endorsing, teleprompter reading primary opponent from Tea Party Central Casting.
I’m beginning to like Jon Keeling.? But I’m REALLY beginning to like Tom Ganley.
Full Story... →I like to let breaking poll numbers sit for a while before commenting.? Let them age and cure.? So here’s my take on the recent spate of polling in Ohio.
I’ve written often that the current crop at ODP has yet to understand that they are where they are not because they know what they’re doing, but because of George W. Bush, Bob Taft, and Tom Noe, i.e., the political climate.? As a consultant, or a candidate, or some douchebag chairman of the ODP, if you do not internalize this fact, you are doomed to be vulnerable the next time [...]
