-------- The War on Poverty: $22 Trillion and counting.....

Kasich is a non-starter. He went to DC and he didn’t change it, it changed him. He’s another unimpressive RINO in the tradition of ex-Gov. Bob Taft the Turd.
“Special Report with Brit Hume” on Fox News Channel did a short profile on Kasich and his visit to New Hampshire.
He did look appealing, I must say.
Plus, he’d be a few months short of 65 in Jan 2017. We need younger blood, not old RINOs like Kasich that have been in office since the 1970s.
He’s not my fav, but is that bad?
He spoiled somewhere in the ‘90s. Turned out a total phony in Columbus:
Kasich ain’t gonna change squat in DC. He’s already a part of the problem.
I’ve mentioned several times before that I grew up with John. He is a nice guy away from Washington, but we don’t need another socialist in the White House.
As the article states, John was a Catholic and the church has always been somewhat socialist with regard to the poor. That socialism is accelerating under Pope Francis. It’s one thing to lend a helping hand to those truly in need, but I don’t think it’s right to bankrupt working people so a bunch of slackers can get their free stuff. I don’t think the Pope quite gets that.
If he shows one face to you and another face to his RINO buddies, I would say he might have been like that all of his life to some degree.
When I said John’s a nice guy, I didn’t mean he was conservative to me and liberal to his Washington friends. I just meant that in social situations, he’s a normal guy. I think his politics are the same no matter where he is.
One thing I should have mentioned is that in Pennsylvania Republicans are generally not conservative. So John is kind of par for the course for Republicans originally from this state.
The RINO establishment is working desperately to run one of their own for President AGAIN. BUSH has no traction, Christie is finished, Romney pulled out and McCain is too old.
So now they are pushing Kasich. Expect Portman next.
Portman will be in his sixties as well. His notorious switch to support gay marriage is toxic with the base. He also has to run for reelection to the Senate in ‘16. I hope he quits or is primaried. I expect the establishment will pimp Rubio, another ex-Conservative who went native before the ink on his election certificate was dry.
Maybe if Hillary is kicked to the curb, she can switch back to being a Republican and run in the GOP Primary.
Ya think?
Wow, religious left BS, that’s a turn off.
Heh. And we’d have some R-bot FReepers demanding we MUST support her because she’s “not a Democrat.”
Hey, it makes JOHN feel good about himself. Doesn’t matter we’re headed to $20 trillion in debt.
I have a novel idea for improving health care for all, get government the HELL out of it and introduce something called “competition.” Costs go down, quality goes up. But, naah, best to let the gubmint handle it, costs skyrocket and quality goes in the toilet. Such is what happens every time that institution touches ANYTHING in the private sector.
Fox is on board the Cheap Labor Express. They are helping the RNC deliver an amnesty candidate
I’m acutely aware of Pennsylvania RINOs. They’re turning the state into an extra-sized New Jersey.
Once he started saying it was our Christian duty to support higher Welfare and Food Stamp payments, I stopped listening to him. Its a shame. At one point, a long time ago, he at least appeared to be a solid fiscal conservative.
Ohio Ping
Gov. John Kasich – Ohio’s Own Obama?

Quote:
Ohio’s legislature – lobbied by grassroots groups the press acknowledges only to sneer at – stripped Medicaid expansion from the state budget and even passed language explicitly forbidding it. Kasich responded by line-item vetoing the Medicaid expansion ban, and then unilaterally expanding Medicaid when several more months of emotional blackmail didn’t work.
The legislature wouldn’t grow government the way Kasich wanted, so Kasich took a page from Obama’s playbook and pretended the huge policy decision was an executive matter.
Good thing this is coming out. Otherwise I’d have to use my ‘toldyaso’.
