Just the downstate machine trying to make sure that the party dies in Ohio for the next 10-20 years, much the way the Dems have died for the last 12-14.

IMHO Blackwell is the only hope for this party, plus the influx of new Reps and Senators coming in because of term limits.

I hope from the Lake County area we can put two solid conservatives, (Kresnye and Callender), into the House and Tim Grendell into the Senate from Lake/Geauga. Tim showed his conservative colors when he was a member of the Cavemen when it came to budgetary and spending issues, and is a very strong Second Amendment proponent.

I would hope that from across the state we would be able to elect similar Conservatives that would favor a Tax and Expenditure Limitation amendment to the Ohio constitution so that the Bennetts, Householders, Tafts, and Voinovichs cannot continue to poison the state with their tax and spend policies.

Hate to admit it, but the Pubbies were worse for the state than Celeste was.

In God We Trust…..Semper Fi!

I agree completely. The RINO's have done more to hurt this state than anyone would initially believe.

This little scandal could be the salvation of the party. This might awaken the Ohio Republican Party to the nature of the people who have been the leadership of our party for many years.

It’s time to set up the Revival Tent. We need a rebirth of the Republican Party.

It’s time to admit our sins and repent.

And it’s time to excommunicate the unrepentant from the congregation.

Paul, An man is not an "R" because he wears it on his name plate. He must live it in his heart. RINOs do not expand the size or power of the the Republican Party. They just give liberals two chances to win at the voting booth. It's time to purge the RINOs.

The probe of Householder and his closest aides was triggered by an anonymous ninepage memorandum made public that month. Along with the campaign-finance accusations against the House Republican Campaign Committee and its fund-raising consultants, it alleged violations of federal money-laundering, tax evasion and mail-fraud statutes.

I have to say Householder and his "cronies" appear to be engaging in some rather unsavory conduct, but it also seems to me that a closer look at the "deep background" of this "anonymous memo" and resulting investigation into the Householder allegations might turn up something to do with a Democrat rival for Attorney General, or something...or am I thinking of some other case? Do I remember something about "Mason"?!

LOL! I don't know my Ohio politics very well, I'm afraid...but I will remedy that, and while I tend to think quite highly of Blackwell (from what I know), he really shouldn't be fanning any flames here, IMHO. It just plays into the hands of the Democrats who I suspect are helping this whole little "feud" along, and who are likely the instigator in the first place...
