Ohio-Ballot Issue 1

[DIRTYSECRET]

Why is no one posting on this? We lost big. We won't win the senate seat next year. It will end up as another shoot ourselves in the foot exercise. Something tells me we don't have a clue. Similar results in deep red states.

My friends our enemies have us by the short hairs and we have only ourselves to blame. We got what we wanted. Abortion is a state issue. We've gone too far on this one and our inability to follow up on this is stupid. Trump is not afraid to talk about it and he will get drowned out by our enemies. No freeper has brought it up. Too many postings on blacks getting away with crimes. Again the GOP doesn't have a clue.

NO!

The Communists have ELECTION THEFT down pat. THAT is the issue.

[BigFreakinToad]

we are on a collision with permanent one party rule, a dictatorship. No one can stop it. 24 was lost in 20, in fact all future elections were lost in 20

I don’t understand it. It seems responsible and common sense that you would need 60% to change a State Constitution and that is this what proposal was. I think they are going to regret this and soon when the woke crazies start stuffing things onto their Constitution. 50% is a low threshold considering what happened with voting integrity

The sky is falling!!!

Ohio will not turn blue. Most of the areas are red and they will continue to elect that way, so the state house will likely stay much as it is.

The problem lies in the balance, on individual issues.
Democrat strongholds + suburban birthing (and aborting) persons teamed up to shoot down issue 1, and they will also get their abortion protection bill passed this fall.



So on the whole, Ohio will still continue to be slightly red in most of the people they pick, but on many social issues Ohio is on the blue side.

The Cleveland Indians should have changed their name to the Ohio Baby Killers. They aren’t “guarding” crap.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Except we will continue to reelect the communist Sherrod Brown. *sigh*

Not everyone who identifies as conservative is on board with banning abortion.

I know a lot of folks who identify as conservatives on all the other issues who say, “Why should I pay for kids these people can’t afford to have? Hell yeah, I support abortion.”

There’s more of those kinds of “conservatives” than people realize, and they would never vote for a Democrat.

[Hoboto]

I would have voted NO as well. It was a stupid referendum to begin with. The GOP leadership in Ohio ought to be ashamed of themselves.

*Ohio will not turn blue.*

Frank LaRose will be the big loser-our best bet who won statewide once already. He supported this big time. What’s left is a loser named Dolan and another named Moreno. That race was considered a tossup. Too late now. That is no way to ‘thread the needle’ as Trump suggested.

We’ll end up with candidates like Voinovich and DeWine. Only they’ll lose. I can see why Portman quit. We were threading the needle on him. Did it with Corker in TN. Marsha’s much better.

How about a little information? What is Ohio Ballot Issue 1?

[Deo volente]

St. Paul sums it up, what we’re facing in these evil times.

2 Timothy, chapter 3:

3:1 Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.

3:2 Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,

3:3 Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,

3:4 Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God:

If you don’t know I’m not telling ya.

[napscoordinator]

Yeah that it. Oh brother. No wonder we lose. We’re looked at like ridiculous conspiracy theory wackos.

[cotton1706]

“We won’t win the senate seat next year.”

Trump won Ohio by 8 points in 2016 and 2020. And JD Vance won his seat last year by 6.5 points.

The Senate seat is very likely to go Republican.

[Fish Speaker]

It raises the threshold to change the Constitution of Ohio from 50% + one vote to 60%. It also made it harder to get an issue on the ballot by requiring petition signatures from all 88 counties instead of the current 44 counties.

*I don’t understand it. It seems responsible and common sense that you would need 60% to change a State Constitution*

This is exactly why we don’t have a clue. We’re asking the voters to use their brains and the rats are appealing to their emotions. We’ll lose like we did with BJ and the Kenyan. The GOP leadership had no business calling for a special election on the constitution when the rats are better at changing the subject. They just put the 2 together on a silver platter to exposed their real issue at hand.

[Vermont Lt]

The GOP “won” the battle over Roe v Wade.

In true GOP fashion, they want to mess it up by overreaching. What is it with the republicans not being able to “read the room.”

This was one of the most “heavy handed” attempts to snatch defeat from the hands of victory that I’ve seen. These morons deserve to be voted out of office. All they have accomplished is to give the Democrats much more ammunition against them in the next cycle.

[hoagy62]

It is true that these conservatives may not think in the long-term, or the eternal. Especially not the eternal. I can think of Someone who might have something to say about their opinions on abortion.

As far as the proposition in Ohio is concerned, this summer. I met a woman whom happens to be from Ohio. And I saw how she was celebrating this morning on Facebook that the thing went down to defeat. I know the woman is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal. That should tell me all I need to know about this proposition.

[dfwgator]

Lindsey Graham’s proposed Federal Abortion ban was the “tell”.

He meant to sabotage the GOP’s chances, he knew exactly what he was doing.
