I think the
Pretenders put it best. Who knew that Chrissie Hynde's words would be so relevant in today's day and age?
Ohio continues to fail itself politically again and again. The results of Tuesday's primaries prove that. Here is just a sampling...
Ken Blackwell - C'mon, this guy's entire primary campaign centered on the fact that he is a religious right winger who wants to turn Ohio into the Christian(I guess that's what they call themselves, but they aren't. Don't get me started on the teachings of Christ) version of Iran With lower taxes.

Of course Petro was no better. His campaign tried to fool us into thinking that he was just like Blackwell and even went as far as saying something to the effect of Blackwell being a tool for the liberals. For those of you that don't know, I was a coordinator for the Petro campaign in its infancy and this is part of the reason that I left the position.
In Blackwell's defense, I don't think it is fair for the local left wing rags here in Cleveland to constantly refer to him as "Uncle Tom Blackwell". Equating one's political leanings with their race is ignorant. If those douchebags that write for the Scene were more than mouthpieces for the left they would realize that Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom character is not a vehicle for derogatory remarks.
Ted Strickland - This guy almost had me. Pro-gun democrats usually do. The problem with ol' Teddy, aside from the fact that he has lost more elections than he has won, is that behind his southern Ohio, conservative Democrat charms, he is just a big liberal that loves God and guns.
It is his pro union stance that sickens me the most. Unions are the reason that Ohio has lost its position as an industrial powerhouse. Unions keep wages and prices

artificially high and don't allow for them to be pushed to equilibrium by the market. Union workers are by far the laziest fuckers I have ever seen in my life. "I am entitled to $25/hour, a 2 hour lunch, and 7 coffee breaks, because the union says I am." I grew up in a strongly pro-union household and was surrounded by Longshoremen my entire life, I know what I am talking about.
I am also sickened because Strickland is a liberal Chrsitian that takes the bible as far to the left as Blackwell takes it to the right. These assholes are the ones that think that redistribution of wealth is the Chrsitian way and that we should all share the spoils of the hard work of others. FUCK THAT. I don't go to work so I can fork over 50% of my paycheck to pay for those who can't/won't make it on their own.
Jello Biafra put it best when he said "Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill the Poor". It's just too bad he was being satirical.
Well, that's enough for now. I don't even want to get started on
Sandy "I fucked Ashtabula County (more so than the democrats) and my son thinks he is a singer" O'Brien's bid for state treasurer. (Make sure you check out the irony in this link) Or on Betty "There was no way in hell I'd become governor, so I'll take AG....again" Montgomery.
Fucking Politcians.
