* Yesterday (see post below), I noted that Republican candidate for congress, Steve Stivers, disagreed that global warming is a scientific fact. However, in 2008, as a candidate for office, Stivers seemed to agree that global warming was an important issue when he appeared at the Greenpeace Global Warming Tour at the Ohio Statehouse. (
see Dispatch September 2, 2008) Has Stivers flip-flopped on the global warming issue so that he can win the votes of the far right teabaggers and extremists? Has Stivers sold his soul to the radical right? I wonder what college students (like OSU Dems) and educated people think of this about face by Stivers.
* Why are Republicans against health care improvements? Why do they continue to stand in the way of policies to insure more people?
* It may seem like a soap opera to some, but the power struggle fight continues in the Lucas County Republican Party. Now they are slugging it out in court, according to the
Toledo Blade:
New motions added to the legal wrangling over control of the Lucas County Republican Party forced another delay yesterday in determining who is the rightful party chairman.
Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Charles Doneghy delayed until tomorrow a hearing on incumbent party Chairman Jon Stainbrook's petition for an injunction against an effort to have him ousted.
Mr. Stainbrook is trying to prevent claims by rival Jeff Simpson from being recognized by the Lucas County Board of Elections and ruled on by the state Republican Central Committee in Columbus....How nice.
