6. The "liberal media" strike again.

I'm amazed at how little people know about the skeletons in prominent Republicans' closets. It's largely because the media will not expose them. However, they will waste months, even years over red-herring teabagger talking points like Obama's birthplace, his birth certificate, Benghazi, and so forth.

Whenever they get on their soap box about Obama's or Clinton's positions on abortion, I'll tell my pro-life friends and relatives about George W. Bush's abortion of a baby he sired from a Ms. Gardner. I'll tell them about how his grandfather served on the First Union Bank board that financed Adolph Hitler even after the U.S. declared war on Nazi Germany (There's your pro-life family). I'll tell them how then-Governor Ronald Reagan signed legislation into law that liberalized access to abortions in California - and this was before Roe v. Wade, so he wasn't signing off to comply California law with federal law.

It may get their attention for a short span, but after another day of watching Faux Snooze and listening to the Queer Channel lineup of talk shows, they're back to their old selves.

14. The ENTIRE election season in Ohio has been abandoned by Chris Redfern, chair

of the Ohio Dem Party.

He must go.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has done a hatchet job on FitzGerald. Not one article to compare and contrast his policies vs Kasich. No news. No analysis. Nothing only Fitz shooting him-self in the foot.

Meanwhile, as County Excutive, Fitz has overseen many money saving initiatives such as completely reorganizing the management of the convention center, (the construction of which was completed early and under budget).

How do we GOTV in Ohio? Is it possible that the teachers, firefighters, police have been engaged in a quiet ground game and Ohio will become the shot-heard-around-the-world. FitzGerald wins!!

16. K and R! Take a good look at Kasich who has been promised he will be POTUS by his owners.

John Kasich has done a hatchet job to state government at the same time spending more money than any other governor. He took the local governments' share of the state income tax revenue and has spread that money to his campaign contributors with no accountability in the media.

The local governments have slashed jobs and raised property taxes costing ordinary people millions in increased taxes. Kasich has changed the formula for for determining the current agricultural use value on farm land, which has doubled and even tripled the property taxes on farms and we have been warned it is going to go up even more. If any land owner votes GOP in this election, they are a fool. This issue should have been at the top of the campaign for Democrats in Ohio, but we have heard nothing.

I know the media is bought and paid for, but the Ohio Democratic Party could have done mass mailings in rural areas about the CAUV issue.

The best thing to be said about the Ohio Democratic Party is that they are inept, but the way it is running campaigns here in Ohio leads one to believe there is something very sinister going on.
