Here is the quote from Voinovich, reported on first today by the Daily Sentinel of Pomeroy, Ohio, during a visit he made to the Meigs County GOP headquarters.

The paper reported that: "In relation to Obama, Voinovich told the audience: 'He is left of (Democratic senator from Massachusetts) Teddy Kennedy. With all due respect, the man is a socialist.'"

A Voinovich spokesman said what has Voinovich revved up is his belief that Obama doesn't respect states rights, at least not the way Voinovich says they should be treated, under the U.S. Constitution's 10th Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

This should be interesting...watching how fast Voinovich gets transformed before our eyes from a "principled Republican" [RINO] into a "racist right wing nutjob"...

I guess we now know who’ll have the next Republican car crash then. /black humor.

Voinovich will probably cry over this statement later.

I liked the 0bama spokesperson’s reply. He didn’t deny the allegation. Wow, today I’ve seen a first: an 0bamabot who was reluctant to lie.

Correction, he votes to the left our our only open socialist.

Is he going to cry now? That worked so well during his anti-John Bolton speech.

Voinovich got one right. That's one in a row.

You're right...one...Ted Kennedy is a socialist too.

Voinovich?????? I don’t believe it

[tallyhoe]

That statement is the truth, and I wished all Republicans would shout it out so everyone can hear it this man is a socialist and there are 72 socialist in the United States Congress!!!!!!!

H#ll just froze over. I don’t even need to see the pic. If RINO Voinocich can see this and is willing to say it, then the false Mesiah is DONE.

I never expected to hear that from Voinovich, not known as a reliable supporter of conservative causes.

“The paper reported that: “In relation to Obama, Voinovich told the audience: ‘He is left of (Democratic senator from Massachusetts) Teddy Kennedy. With all due respect, the man is a socialist.’”

The only open socialist in congress ranks #2 behind Obama as the leading liberal voter. Obama campaigned for Bernie Sanders. Why hasn’t the republican party put this out?

[yldstrk]

Obama is a commie thug with no conscience.

I want to hear the REAL word: C O M U N I S T as from his associations with a true Marxist, Bill Ayers and wifie!!!
