Good: reduce income tax, reduce business inventory tax.

Bad: only reduce temporary sales tax by 1/2 percent instead of the promised full percent, trash tax, alcohol tax, cigarette tax, business activity tax.

Note the whining about the "income tax proposal would return about $8,400 a year to the wealthiest taxpayers and just $12 a year to the poorest". So if you only pay $12 of income tax and are kicked off the tax rolls altogether, you're being cheated because that's only $12.

"double beer, wine and alcohol taxes; and hike electricity taxes by a third."

The 3 states with the most spending: California, New York & Ohio. Taft has been a disaster for Ohio's taxpayers. Because of him and some of the GOP, I'm no longer voting the party line in state elections.

Yep, I'll vote for Blackwell and, thanks, I'll check out the Constitutionalists.

The only Ohio Republican I'll vote for is Ken Blackwell. Other than him, the Pubbie party here is a bunch of RINO eunuchs.




I'm with you.

The State gop needs a wake-up call.

Are you running as a Constitutionist?

Sadly the state gop elite are going to force many from their ranks. Especially once the organized effort to hold back Blackwell in favor of Petro.

Just let me know, as soon as you throw your hat in the ring, I've got at least 8 bucks in campaign contributions for you!!!

With Repubs like this, who needs Democrats? It once again proves my assertion that we don't have two political parties in this country. We have one statist superparty.

Taft wants consumers to dig deep - again

Well, I'm sorry, but I have several problems with this headline. The former president has been dead now for many decades, so I don't think too many people will listen to what he has to say. Plus, he was very fiscally conservative, especially compared to the politicians of today. Billions for tsunami relief? Not in the Constitution. Hundreds of thousands to study the sex habits of a Left-Handed Yellow-Bellied Slug? Not in the Constitution. Welfare and free education for illegals? Not in the Constitution.

If the man weren't dead I would vote for him!

I suspect that you may have misinterpreted the headline, although not having read the article either, I have no way of knowing for certain.  I have a more grisly take on this, that the former president, whom I believe was buried in a Piano case, remains undigested by worms.  It seems clear to me that he's speaking through this reporter asking for worms, bacteria and fungus to reach deep into the soil and consume him.

Blackwell's a good man.

Unfortunately for the Ohio GOP, Bob Shaft has ruined their reputation. You're right in that most Pubbies in Ohio are RINO's. Actually, some of the local Republican mayors and councilmen in Summit County are good. So is Rep. Chabot in Congress.

No doubt Taft has been awful. However, I don't think voting third party is a good idea, as that would only lead to a 'Rat in the Governorship. Anyone who think the Republicans are bad in this state needs to look at the last two 'Rats -- Gilligan and Celeste. One gave us the income tax; the other nearly doubled it.

Placing the 'Rats in charge in this state effectively gives state power to the unions. That's great. We're already not very competitive economically thanks to earlier 'Rat administrations and Ohio Supreme Court Judges (Celebreeze) -- another more Years of the 'Rats will finish this state off for good.
