Kasich Disapproval Numbers

* The word is out!  Gov. John Kasich's state of the state speech has been called "The Craziest Political Speech of the Year" by the Business Insider.

Business Insider:

....According to the Huffington Post, which tipped us off to the madness, Kasich doesn't like to give prepared remarks, and prefers instead to go off-the-cuff. What resulted was 100-minutes of rambling that included:
  • A reference to his "hot wife"
  • Imitating someone with Parkinson's disease
  • Warning two recipients of the the Governor's Courage Awards not to sell their medals on eBay.
  • Calling Californians "a bunch of wackadoodles."
  • Referring to ethnic communities as "the ethnics," and to God as a "lobbyist" for the "mentally ill, the disabled, the poor." 
  • Giving a "shout-out" to virtually every person in the room — and multiple shout-outs to Ohio State President Gordon Gee 
  • Telling the people of Ohio that he wanted to "touch them." 
  • Mentioning Galileo, Soviet gulags, John Adams and "Navy SEAL" — all in one breath. 
  • Crying....

The reporter also referred to Kasich as "...a rising star in the Republican party...."  No way!  Kasich's approval is not rising and he is not a starUPI has posted the latest PPP poll that includes job ratings for John Kasich:

Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich has a 53 percent disapproval rating among the state's voters, a Public Policy Polling survey released Wednesday indicated.

Thirty-three percent of Ohio voters said they approved of the job Kasich has done leading their state, results released by the Raleigh, N.C., polling agency showed.

U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, fared worse than Kasich, PPP said, with only 28 percent of voters saying they approved of his job performance and 54 percent saying they disapproved.....

With Boehner trying to get the birth control benefit cut from health insurance coverage, Boehner's approval rating can go lower.  It might be good for Boehner to wake up and smell the coffee and keep his hands off our birth control freedoms and health insurance coverage.  Women will unite against this Republican tactic to turn back time and deny us our rights.

Contact Boehner at ----> (202) 225-6205 or  (202) 225-0600

Oh, and by the way.....Rick Santorum wants to ban all birth control if he is elected President. OMG!
