Republican Party's 'Young Gun' congressional challengers get

blown out in Ohio fund raising

Republican challengers for U.S. House of Representatives’ seats in Ohio were left in the fund-raising dust by Democratic incumbents during the last quarter of 2009, newly filed Federal Election Commission reports show....

Ooooops!

Ohioans might be a little apprehensive to contribute money to the Ohio Republican Party. The Ohio GOP has given the state so much! Here are just a few noteworthy items from a posting of mine from September 30, 2006:

If you live in Ohio, you are familiar with Taft's ethics problems, Bob Ney's ties to Jack Abramoff, Tom Noe's coingate scandal involving the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation and the Republican party, Joy Padgett's bankruptcy, Deborah Pryce's fundraising at Abramoff's Signatures restaurant, Pryce's vote to cut funding for Veterans' benefits, John Boehner's ties to big tobacco, Pryce's ties to big oil, Jean Schmidt's attacks on Marines, etc., etc.

Now the Republican scandal list is increasing. Besides Duke Cunningham, and Tom DeLay, a new name can be added to the Republican scandal list-----Republican Rep. Mark Foley of Florida. Americablog has some of the text from the e-mails and IMs (Instant Messages) that Foley sent to the kid....

Don't let the Republicans talk about "family values" in front of you as though they are better than you are. Is it a family value to divorce, steal money from taxpayers as in "Coingate", be more concerned with their own wealth than helping constituents, greed, avarice, etc., etc., etc.........

You get the point. Ohioans want elected officials who represent us------ not lobbyists or wealthy owners of charter schools. Do Ohioans really want a Republican governor who will gut and close public schools in order to reward certain contributors?

***** I don't know if you've seen the latest Daily Kos poll, but it is a hoot. It clearly shows that the Republican Party has gone over the edge.

Daily Kos/Research 2000 Poll of Republicans (These are only excerpts.)

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Are these Republicans crazy??????????
