The media told me more about Joe the Plumber’s past in 24 hours than they told me about Senator Obama’s past in 21 months.

Worth a repeat.

nice find, very illustrative story, IMO

The liberals will do everything they can to silence their critics. Expect this to happen.

After the election, Gov. Ted Strickland placed Jones-Kelley on paid leave. The governor said the suspension was for a matter unrelated to the background checks on Joe the Plumber.

Just thought I would repeat the final paragraph of the article, since a lot of Ohioans bought in to the so called "culture of corruption" charges against Republicans back in 2006, that helped propel Strickland to the governorship. Well, Ohio, not only did you fail to end the "culture of corruption", you now have a "culture of Big Brother-ism" to go along with it...

John Kohlstrand, a taxation department spokesman, said he is prohibited from talking about individual taxpayers, but he confirmed that the databases were checked.

Kohlstrand said that the AG's office wanted access to the records so they could turn over to the national media lien information that was a public record in Lucas County. He said the national media did not have reporters in Toledo, so the attorney general's office was helping them out with public records.

Anthony said the database searches on both days were conducted to ensure that the information in Lucas County was being properly reported by the media.

See, it was totally innocent. They just wanted to make sure that the information that they were illegally leaking to the press was accurate.

Just wait till the “National Civilian Defense Force” (Gestapo) gets going. We have not seen anything yet. God help our Country!

And liberals are afraid of the Patriot Act! They should be afraid of their own.

This is a big story. However, Joe is against Liberal agenda and therefore, not news worthy. This is just the beginning.

I see Fox News loosing it’s foot hold. We have a Liberal Govt elected by our Biased Media.

Half a dozen?! Holy cats.

THAT WE KNOW OF...

Of course, that's just rife speculation.
But to re-work a phrase from Himmler...once you abuse a single
database, it's easier to assess a second database, and soon
you're messing with all the databases you can find.

How many times can this woman abuse power and get away with it? At the minimum she needs to be fired. And Nancy Rogers should resign.

Maybe it's time someone dug into their records, and make them PUBLIC!

Turn about is fair play.

[unixfox]

Jones Kelley, imagine that.

[GOP_Lady]

This Ohioan will never forget Joe the Plumber.

Nor will I ever forget Jones-Kelley. Civil Servant, my ...

[Faith]

We are all Joe the Plumber . . .

Bingo!

[GOP_Lady]

Indeed, we are all Joe the Plumber.

God bless us all.

“Just wait till the “National Civilian Defense Force” (Gestapo) gets going. We have not seen anything yet. God help our Country!”

I heard on a radio station out of Columbus (OH) on Wednesday evening playing an advertisment for the CIA for applicants for “clandestine domestic agents”! I’ve never heard a government agency advertise for job applicants, nuch less with this “kind” of title! :(

So they keep checking up on Joe.

Meanwhile in the welfare capital of America, hundreds of thousands of able bodied men and women between the age of 20-60, who have never worked a day in their lives, paid a penny in taxes are continuing to have their houses paid for. get free medical care, continue to spit kids out only to receive more food stamps and WIC. This applies to native born and illegals alike.

These people receive continuous benefits with no time limits to ever worry about. Unlike unemployment, which has a definite and specific time frame because hard working people pay into it.

Tell me what is wrong with picture.

[patj]

You’re right. The problem here is that she is not in the same county and therefore should not have anything to do with this.
