"Instead, he described a nuanced role".
There's that word again. I pretty sure "Nuanced" today is the same thing we used to call BS back in my day.
I personally prefer Kasich to replace DeWhine and I favor Blackwell over Petro for governor, but Petro seems well organized and off to a running start.
I don't know if the Pubbies are going to make it in Ohio in 2006, having screwed up a golden opportunity to show people that lower taxes, smaller government really work.
Thanks to Voinovich, Taft, and the Republican majority in both houses in Ohio we have bigger government, higher taxes and one of the lousiest business climates in the Union. Anyone want to buy some rare coins?
I heard a slanted newscast this morning that said the state sales tax was coming down a half percent. What they didn't say was that this was half of the "TEMPORARY"one percent sales tax that was put in place two years ago.
The downstate jackasses pay no heed to the complaints from the neanderthals out in the hustings about how they are sacking the state, so I sent them a list which said:
Not one penny
No literature distribution
No yard sugn locations or placements
No tubing on Saturday morning at 6AM
No working at the Pubbie tent at the county fair.
No door to door for candidates.
When they show me they are worthy, I will come back.
And I will actively work against DeWhine in the primary.
In God We Trust…..Semper Fi!
"I'm worried however that he will win a primary challenge and then lose in the general election to some wingnut.."
Me too. And I'll bet you a dollar he still gets the backing of Republican party when he runs.
No beating around the bush there. Also, very clear!
Right! This is what I was able to get out of it! Nothing more.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) and his aides have denied Rep. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) assertion to home-state conservative leaders that he and Sen. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) acted as emissaries for Frist in negotiations among 14 Republican and Democratic centrists that resulted in a compromise last month on judicial filibusters.
Graham seems to be trying to cover his behind and it won't work this time around. Many like myself are tired of these wimps!
Right and this is why some Americans are so dumb because they read the misleading headlines and do not get into the whole article to see the facts on the matter.
AOL is the worst in the world when it comes to headline news. They infuriate me with their headlines. Once read the headlines are without a doubt misleading!
I agree with what you have done and I did this myself, BUT I do have a question. Republicans have never really been known to be Conservative heck look at Nixon and the things he did like for instance starting the EPA. If we want Conservatives we are going to have to get men and women to run who put American first instead of the party.
He was in McCain's camp in the 2000 primary against George W. Bush.
I felt anyone who supported McCain for president over Bush in the 2000 primaries was not worthy to be Senator from South Carolina. Tons of freepers jumped all over me for urging that Graham not get the Republican nomination for the Senate. I wonder if those Freepers still think I was wrong to oppose the nomination of Graham.
There is no reason to elect a RINO Senator from South Carolina. South Carolina is a conservative state and can easily elect a conservative senatorl. The people of South Carolina were fooled once. They should not be fooled again. Graham is a lousy RINO. He should be opposed and defeated in the 2008 primary.
I would not support Graham if he got a 100 percent Americna Conservitive Union rating for the remainder of this term. The second he got re-elected he would stab us in the back.
Get rid of Graham in 2008. He is nothing but trouble.
Probably because they were enamoured with him because of the Clinton Impeachment hearings. He came off like a Rock Star and apprently looked like the perfect Republican to replace Thurman.
I'll do what I can to remove his hillary lovin' arse from the Senate.
That's simple; Snow and Collins, the bi*ches of Maine! What do I win? LOL
GO for it ! I am relocating to Crown Point, IN and I have every intention of working with the GOP in Ill. We may have to start from the ground up but hey we have to start somewhere and it is at the bottom then the only way is up!! Furthermore, we have to find a viable candidate to put against Durbin in 2008.
Graham's going the McVain route: "Maverick Republican Senator" which means he's in it for no one but Graham.
For this session of Congress, I think the Ohio Boys are even worse than the Maine Gals. Certainly they have been more of a disappointment.
Good luck with that. If the Senate had any cajones, they'd oust Durbin him now. One more reason to get rid of Graham and company.
