They Don't Get It

This is from the Chillicothe Gazette:

Former Ohio politician and television personality John Kasich announced he is interested in getting back into Ohio politics and exploring the possibility of a gubernatorial bid in 2012.....

"I think the state is in trouble, and I don't think we have the dramatic leadership we need," Kasich said, adding he had hoped for more job growth under Gov. Ted Strickland. "I was hoping we'd see it out of the governor, and we haven't really seen it yet. So I'm very seriously looking at running in the governor's race."

Kasich is currently a best-selling author and contributor to Fox News, and has served as chairman of the House Budget Committee during his 18 years in congress representing Ohio's 12th District.....

Here is my take on this.....
1. The state is in trouble because of the corrupt Republican Taft administration.

2. The Republicans who control the state legislature are more concerned with getting re-elected than helping out the citizens of Ohio.

3. After a year in office and no cooperation from Jon Husted and the rest of the self-centered Republican members of the legislature, Gov. Strickland is still working through the mess left by the Taft administration (a. mismanagement and millions of dollars lost in the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation; b. no-bid contracts in Taft's Ohio Dept. of Transportation; c. a mess in the election boards across the state; etc., etc., etc.)

4. Kasich works for the right wing propaganda machine, Fox News.

I could go on, but I'd only make myself puke.

>>> Keeping with her hardly working retirement tour, Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15) is still putting out little effort for her constituents. According to the Clerk of the House of Representatives, Pryce missed three votes yesterday. Way to go!!!!
