* Did you know that John Kasich helped to set up the Ohio public pensions to meet with Lehman Brothers for the purposes of investment?  Did you know that hundreds of millions of dollars were lost when Lehman went bankrupt?  Did you know that Lehman Brothers continued to make calls to those public pension funds to get their money even weeks before the business collapsed?  Kasich's introductions and schmoozing enabled thousands of Ohio retirees and current state employees to watch their pensions lose money. Kasich and Lehman were motivated by greed and avarice.  They tried to get our pension funds to invest in toxic, worthless funds.  How disgusting!

(By the way, Kevin DeWine, of the Ohio Republican Party tried to compare Gov. Ted Strickland to John Kasich today because Strickland has received money from individuals employed by companies that are listed on the Stock Exchange.  Kevin DeWine is wrong to make such a comparison.  Kasich and Lehman went after the pension money even when they knew the investments were worthless.  Besides, if I'm looking for someone to discuss ethics, Kevin DeWine is one of the last people I'd consult.)

* Did you know that Steve Stivers, a former former bank lobbyist and State Senator, supports insurance companies paying for Viagra but not birth control pills?  As a woman, I am offended.  I believe that insurance companies should have to cover all or part of the cost of birth control pills.  I'd like to see someone ask him that question!!!!

* Has Kasich released his tax returns yet?
