Nothing But the Truth

* There is a website called Slatecard.com which is raising money for "Conservative Ohio Candidates" through their site (must be similar to ActBlue). The list of "Conservative Ohio Candidates" includes all Republicans ---Steve Chabot, Jim Jordan, Pat Tiberi, Steve Latourette, Jim Trakas, and Steve Stivers. (Stivers is the former bank lobbyist running as a Republican for Ohio's 15th congressional district.) Luckily, $0 has been raised through this website. The most interesting part I think is that Steve Stivers is categorized as part of a group called "Conservative Ohio Candidates" on the webpage. Even though Stivers calls himself a moderate, it appears that others recognize his work and philosophy as conservative.

*** I am amazed that some Republicans think that women will run to support John McCain for president. McCain has voted against funding for mammograms and family planning. McCain supports war, war, and more war. Women care about those issues.

I am a retired teacher, a wife, a mother, and not on the payroll of any candidate or political party. I am just a 50ish domestic goddess with a strong interest in politics and social justice. My interest in politics started when, as a child, I attended a political rally for Democratic presidential candidate, John F. Kennedy.)
