What do you know?

***   Gov. Ted Strickland is always standing up for Ohio's school children.  He understands the value of a good education and he wants to help every child in Ohio have opportunities to learn.  When Ted Strickland learned of Republican John Kasich's cockamamie education ideas, he called a news conference. 

DaytonDailyNews:
Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland on Wednesday lashed out as his Republican challenger John Kasich, calling Kasich “irresponsible” and “reckless” for saying he would abandon Strickland’s “evidence-based model” for schools and school funding if elected governor.

Strickland, at a Columbus news conference, also said that Kasich’s approach would result in higher property taxes.

“Quite frankly, I don’t think Congressman Kasich knows what he’s talking about,” Strickland said....

Kasich knows nothing about education, instruction, classrooms, meeting federal laws, or teaching.  Kasich probably is being fed misleading and old information from his biggest contributor - David Brennan (& his entire Family), the owner of the largest charter school operation in the state. Brennan's White Hat Management is a big supporter of Kasich and Jon "I live in Kettering" Husted.



 * Did you ever notice that Republicans get hysterical when someone uses "salty' language, but when someone uses state funds (like in the Republican scandal known as Coingate), has ethics violations (like former Republican Bob Taft), loses over $400 million dollars from state retirement funds (like Kasich and his buddies at Lehman Brothers), has affairs outside of marriage (Vitter, Ensign), interferes with the voting process (2000 & 2004), takes money from lobbyists (Portman, Husted, Kasich, Chabot, Stivers, Tiberi), has ties to Jack Abramoff, they hardly make a squeak? 

The Cincinnati Enquirer has the story about hysterical Republicans.  Who the *%#@ cares?
