"And DeWine's son Pat is running for Congress in a special election June 14."
I live in this district and was very upset when Portman resigned. I want to scream everytime I hear one of Pat DeWine's radio commercials touting him as a "conservative". He is his father's son -- a RINO. He is also a lowlife snake -- he left his pregnant wife for another woman. I would never vote for him. I was talking to the sister of one of the other candidates, and she said that DeRINO the Elder is using his political influence and putting pressure on his contacts for financial backing for sonny-boy. Makes me sick.
So many Republicans these days vote for liberal candidates in the primaries in part because they do not know that those running are liberals, often like the Democrats against which they rail. Many just keep their mouths shut and do as the party establishment tells them to do because after all nationwide "R"s are at an all-time numerical high in all levels of government. Rush Limbaugh often takes the view that all that ultimately matters is to replace a "D" with an "R" whenever and wherever we can.
