Paying Attention

* Are some of the constituents from Republican Rep. John Boehner's Ohio district a little unhappy? Boehner, who'd rather spend time on a golf course out of his district than hang out in his district, might be facing some disenchanted voters. Their voices/opinions are not reaching Boehner while he travels the country golfing and being paid for speaking engagements.

* Republican Jon Husted, who lives in Upper Arlington, but votes in Kettering, is not garnering the publicity and press that he'd like in his quest for Ohio Secretary of State. In an article published in the Dayton Daily News (May 17, 2009), the newspaper even added the way to pronounce his name ---- ......Sen. Jon Husted (pronounced HYOO'-stehd).... If the hometown newspaper delivered to the people who live in the district you represent has to add a pronunciation key, your candidacy is in trouble.

* As long as Republicans keep talking trash about Democrats, voters will continue to ignore the GOP. The Republicans seem unable to come up with new leadership or new solutions to today's problems. Have you noticed that the Republicans are without true leadership?

> Tonight on The Ed Show on MSNBC, Ed Schultz let the Republicans have it in his segment called "Psycho Talk." Apparently, the Republicans are talking trash against the highest ranking woman in Congress, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. As Ed said, these Republicans must have a problem with a woman in leadership.
