GOP Nuttery

*** Get your foil hats ready!!!! Cover your windows and lock your doors! Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann will be coming to Ohio to speak at the Hamilton County Republican Party's special event, according to the HCRP blog. The insanity will take place in February somewhere in Hamilton County Ohio. Run for the hills!!!!!

**** We all know that deregulation caused the financial meltdown that happened on Wall Street and in the business world. Now, Republican candidate for governor, John Kasich, wants to deregulate small business and end the state income tax. Here is more from the Times-Gazette:

...After his speech, Kasich took questions about his policy stances regarding education and economic issues. On education, he said reform isn't as much about money as it is accountability for what's happening in the classroom.

"Funding is not the target issue," Kasich said. "The issue is what's coming out of the schools ... It's not complicated. We need to go back to the basics."

Back to basics? What does he intend to do, if elected? Does he mean he plans to cut funds to schools? Will he end funding for public schools and give the task of educating our children to the lowest bidding charter school corporation?
