Not Authentic

> Incredible news!  According to Plunderbund, the person who portrays a laid off worker in a new Kasich ad is really an actor!!!!  Ha! Ha! Ha!  More fake stuff from Kasich!!!  Where does he get all this stuff like the inaccurate school numbers and rating of Ohio's economic business climate?  Is he using an almanac from 1995?  I guess when you've spent so much time hanging out with the likes of Lehman Brothers and big shot investment bankers, authenticity is not something that is important to you.

> The Columbus Dispatch is reporting on an inaccurate poll that shows Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, leading in Ohio's 15th congressional race over U.S. Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy. The poll was authorized by the American Natural Gas Alliance, which is a lobbying group trying to overturn some EPA rules.  Why is the poll inaccurate?  The poll surveyed a small number of subjects and it did not include candidates from the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party. 

> Here is an interesting fact:  The wife of Steve Stivers works for a lobbying group.  Karen Stivers is the Director of Marketing & Communications at Ohio Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Store Association.  These people just can't get away from lobbying.

>  Do you remember when Ohio voters voted to raise the minimum wage in November 2006?  Steve Stivers and one of his Republican buddies tried "...to re-write Ohio's wage laws and undermine the intent of the amendment already passed," Sen. Prentiss said in a news release..." (see Gongwer Ohio Report).  What kind of a person tries to go against the wishes of the voters?  Steve Stivers!

>Steve Stivers has embraced the Tea Partiers, like these people seen attacking a person with Parkinson's Disease.
