John Husted, not just a cheat, but a gutless cheat.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

Pity the State of Ohio.

Not only have they suffered self-inflicted wounds from various pols and legislation, the state has now become a poster child for idiots in office, starting with its uber-governor, John Kasich.

Tea Baggers, it seems, are alive and well, within this otherwise beautiful and friendly state.

Take John Husted. Please. This piece of shit fucked over the whole state as a legislator. Not once, but twice. No, make that three times. It must be his charm.

The first time? Husted was leading the legislature when he torpedoed a steel mill investment that would have brought thousands of jobs to Ohio.

The second? Husted, as a fool-fledged, Catholic member of the Tea Bagger Troup of morans, decided to protect the Church instead of the hundreds of victims of childhood sexual abuse by priests.

Now? this one is the doozy. In order to protect the white vote, he decided to screw minorities, working women, and liberals, cutting back on access to the voting booth ONLY IN THOSE AREAS THAT VOTE D.

This was too much for even our conservative Federal Courts. The District court judge ruled that Husted's clearly partisan orders were not legal.

fter being summoned to court by a federal judge, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted on Friday backed away from his order that would have banned counties from planning for early voting.

Husted’s original order had essentially ignored a ruling by U.S. District Judge Peter Economus, who declared that the state couldn’t take away early voting in the three days before the election. Economus sided with the Obama campaign, which sued Ohio to get the early voting re-implemented.

In a court filing on Friday afternoon, Husted said he “apologizes to the federal district court” for creating what he called the “misimpression” that he was ignoring the order. “The Secretary would never intentionally contravene an order issued by the federal district court or any other court — and this case is no exception,” the filing said.

1. He 100%

Is a cheat. Now - how to make him cower? Because I dont' get the impression that he was prepared to get his ass handed to him. Only fear will get this guy to move.

5. proof positive that if you stand up to a mealy mouthed bully, they will cave.

And today's Tea Party is nothing but idiot bullies.

8. He should receive a jail sentence for contempt of court, regardless of whether he complies

now after the judge has warned him.

2. Wiki: "Husted was born in the Detroit area in 1967, and subsequently abandoned by ...

...his biological parents."

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. I'd say they had good taste,

but that would be very rude of me, and I don't wish to attack orphans or adoptees by accident. .

4. Yes....we in Ohio suffer with having Husted in office.

He is a miserable public servant from Dayton Ohio which is in Montgomery County. Dayton Ohio must be some vortex for the up and coming GOP malfeasance yet to surface this November.

Dennis Lieberman and Tom Ritchie, the two Montgomery County Board of Election members just fired by Husted, they know him....they will beat him at every turn in this game of voter distortion.

6. well, we had Bloggo for too long.

But frankly, I would not want to trade.

At the very least, Bloggo could do a good imitation of Elvis.

7. Run of the mill slime ball Republican politician. Remember Blackburn, the previous Attorney General

who cheated in every way possible in the voting process.

[ChairmanAgnostic]
