I lived through this whole debate, like a democrat, you refuse to accept the context. Instead you point at an event and complain about someone acting responsibly for responsible reasons. Or, you distort the record so that you cover the actual facts to carry a useless point. The people of Cincinnati, misguidedly, voted to raise their own taxes. If you want to blame anyone for that, blame them.

This is the worst example of one issue voting. You are welcome to your small mind and your big hate.

Its a fact that this message doesn't resonate in the 2nd. It didn't carry the day in the previous primary and it won't carry the day at any point in the future. GET OVER IT!

Like a Democrat, you along with Bob Taft and Jean Schmidt believe that raising taxes and spending is the answer to everything. Because of Bob Taft's and Jean Schmidt's tax increases, we pay a lot more in gas taxes every time we fill our tanks. Because of Bob Taft's and Jean Schmidt's tax increases, we pay a lot more every time we purchase something that invokes a Sales Tax. Thanks RINO's.

There was nothing responsible about it. If they wanted to be responsible, they would have limited the growth in the spending and been able to balance the budget without raising taxes.

Do you not understand that they could have raised spending by about 4-5% without raising taxes? But that wasn't good enough for them. Instead they raise spending by 10%, and they raise our taxes to pay for it. Just like RINO's.

This is the worst example of one issue voting.

The issue of taxes and spending isn't one single issue. It's what determines the size of government, which is far more than one issue. Just like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Bob Taft and Jean Schmidt believe in a rapid expansion of government, and put the burden of paying for it on our backs. Tax and spend Republicans are just as fiscally destructive as tax and spend Democrats, except to a RINO.
