(6,429 posts)59. Kasich should make you shudder down to the bone...
...while he may be the "best" they have to offer, this guy is a duplicitous ass-hat whose greatest skill is that awww-shucks approach that lets you believe he's not a far right wing whack job.
When he ran for gov, he appeared sane until the day after he got the key to the executive bathroom. Once in the job, he seemed to forget all the rational parts of his campaign and focused on pandering to any and every right wing pet program (particularly those related to general health care and women's health needs - i.e. Planned Parenthood).
The only way I vote Republican is if I'm strapped to a metal chair in a dank dark basement after 40 hours of Cheney-boarding and a gun to my head...even at that point, I don't think Kasich would be my choice.
Just my two cents from the primary season audience here in Ohio.
