According to a recent poll, Ohio’s GOPee Guv John Kasich has a large number of Democrats voting for him. The percentage of such idiot voters is sufficient to provide a comfortable margin of victory. Thousands of Dems have said that they will vote for a thieving, lying, union-busting, woman-hating Wall Street motherf***ing “Republican”.

By so doing, those Dems will enable thievery, lying, starvation, forced births, pollution, contract violations, voter suppression, and income inequality to not only continue, but become even more prevalent. Think about that for a second, Gentle Reader. These are Teapublican values and policies, being supported by alleged Dem Voters.

This is the story of the 2014 midterms, friends: in spite of every evil deed, every crime against humanity, GOP candidates are projected to win. Why? Because a s***load of voters who should know better will make some truly stupid choices.

Stupid choices like voting for Teapubbies, casting protest votes in close races, or just not voting at all. That is how “Republicans” win. It ain’t just vote-rigging, corruption and bribery that enables the Repub Reign of Error: some Democrats are partially culpable.

Please do your part: vote smart. If enough people do so, we can pull off an upset. Smart rarely triumphs over stupid, but it can happen, if enough smart people take the time to vote smart.

1. Kasich even got some Unions to endorse him even after his SB 5 bill that was made to ....

.... kill Unions. Kasich and his Wall Street Buddies have also found a way to
get all the profits from state liquor sales for the next 10 years. It cost them
$5 billion (money borrowed against the back end of the deal) and they will
bring in 15 to 20 billion.

It also didn't help that the ODP is the quintessential "limp groom" on the
wedding night.

2. All true. I wish I could afford to leave this stupid fucking place.

3. As soon as my folks are gone I am out of here.

I dearly love Ohio but the republican stranglehold of this state is
soul crushing ...... we have more Ds then Rs here ..... look at
2012 Obama & Sen. Brown ..... so in statewide elections the republicans
should be crushed. Kasich is a crook and Jon Husted is a bald faced
liar but they will be re-elected.

18. I'm stuck here until retirement. Bollocks.

4. Mahalo, riqster!

6. Oh, so when someone not at DU says liberals are fools for not using tactics like Republicans,

then that is a popular thought?

[riqster]

7. No, I just mentioned choices made by Dem voters.

8. I don't trust Ohio republicans. They've been known to rig elections

in the past. I for one don't believe there will be that many cross over votes.

[riqster]

10. Any crossover voted are too many.

Plus, those are not the only stupid actions I have encountered amongst Ohio Dem voters.

9. Correct, I've been watching the national party sabotage itself for decades now.

After a while, you start to realize it's not just a coincidence.

[riqster]

11. S'truth.

14. Running off Howard Dean was stupid

His 50 State Strategy was working and if it was left in place by now
the Republicans would be in the trash can of history in most
of America ..... Utah, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and Idaho not so much.


We are the majority.

16. For example, yeah.

But what it boils down to is it's the money that is what's important, and keeping your seat. The party won't take care of you, so you take care of yourself. The national party has the attitude that we can just squeak by, keep the two-parrty game and the money river flowing, and everybody in DC makes out like bandits. If they won it all, they might have to govern or accept some responsiblity for the mess they have made of the nation.

12. Add Mississippi to the mix

If all Democrats voted in MS, MS would have a Democratic Senator.

Many of our voters are short-sighted and a little bit naive. If all our voters in Colorado voted, we would win. But, Hispanics are up in the air. In the process of getting angry that Obama did not proclaim an executive order before elections, they are threatening (and most likely) staying home. Good strategy for making sure Obama loses in court when he issues an order after elections. Our supporters are not thinking!

13. Truest. Statement. Ever.

"Our supporters are not thinking!"

So sad. So infuriating. So true.

15. Hell, riqster, I wonder at times...

... whether much of the electorate even knows why they call themselves a Democrat or a Republican. I honestly think there is a group like that out there. I guess they are the "Independents", they get on the wagon at the last minute of the Party that the M$M says is winning, because they want to be on the winning side. If they had a brain in their heads, they would vote exactly the opposite of what the M$M is touting.

17. Or at least, vote based on enlightened self-interest.
