We need answers!!!!

* Why has Republican congressional candidate Steve Stivers refused to discuss privatizing Social Security? He has not said he would oppose it. Could he be talked into supporting radical right wing Rep. Paul Ryan's phase out of Social Security?


*  Ohio voters are waiting for a few things from Kasich:

a. his previous tax returns.  Is he hiding those huge bonuses he made on Wall Street while retirees lost everything?

b. a specific agenda.  So far, the only things we've heard from Kasich is a bunch of baloney. 

c. Is the state income tax roll back on or off?  

d. Will he cut teachers' salaries?  

e. What other departments will he privatize? Which of his rich   friends will get jobs?

f. Will Kasich try to privatize the public employees' retirement funds?


* College students are talking about John Kasich hypocrisy: he said (1) he'd demand cuts in colleges and universities in Ohio,
(2) eliminate duplicate majors at competing colleges,
(3) demand larger workloads for college professors. 

However, Kasich willingly received $4000 for an hour lecture session at Ohio State for close to eight years, and hauled in $50,000/yearly.

The Coshocton County GOP will have a family "fun day" later this week, according to the Coschocton Tribune.  Republican Jon Husted will be there.  You might want to ask him how often he returns to his Kettering house. Husted, known to have a bad temper, might be a good catch on video.

*New York Daily News Columnist, Mike Lupica, puts the blame about the World Trade Center Mosque hysteria at the feet of serial divorcer, Newt Gingrich.

New York Daily News:

...Even before the demonstrations, so much of this debate had turned stupid, dumb and mean and loud, because all public debate eventually does these days....

...This time it wasn't Sarah Palin leading the charge, the same yammering Palin who can dumb things down in ways that should be measured the way we measure fast times in the Olympics....
 
....So somehow Gingrich, who is obsessed with what he calls the "secular socialism" of Barack Obama, was now good and geeked up, high on religion and what he believes is his higher calling to lead the whole country....

Lupica concludes that the real "radical" is Newt Gingrich.
