>>>>THIS JUST IN! Stubborn Liberal has the latest Bush approval poll numbers and they are very, very low.
**Recently, we learned that Republican candidate for governor, Kenneth Blackwell, who headed the Bush/Cheney campaign committee for Ohio, also owned stock in the Diebold vote counting machine company. Now, the Columbus Dispatch is revealing that Blackwell, although against gambling, owns stock in the slot machine company that could benefit if gambling at horse racing facilities is approved. Will Blackwell claim that he didn't know he didn't own this stock, like he did with Diebold? We will follow the story.
**Here is an interesting fact quoted in the Dayton Daily News: Since Taft took office in January 1999 through this March, Ohio has lost 83,900 jobs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. During the same period, the state dropped 208,300 jobs in the manufacturing sector...
Wow! Taft and the Republicans have done a pretty bad job of keeping Ohioans unemployed and underemployed. Who was our member of the U.S. House of Representatives during this same time? Who keeps telling everyone that the Republican-controlled federal legislative and executive branches have done good things for Ohio? Who? Who? Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce has tried to tell us that things are good here in Ohio. We know better. Don't believe the Republican spin machine.
**This just in.... The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is reporting that 22 Chinese stowaways were found in a cargo container in the Port of Seattle. How were they discovered and captured? Two unarmed port guards and two mechanics helped round up the men and women who were attempting to come in the country illegally. Incredible. I guess we can thank Rep. Deborah Pryce, and Rep. Tiberi, for voting against increased port security. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2006/roll056.xml
