KASICH GOT IT RIGHT

[RayThom]

He looks better every day. He's so fed up that I think he's ready to change party affiliation.

Obviously there's only one thing to do -- vote Democrat. It's the right thing to do.

“Do you know how crazy this election is? Let me tell you something, I’ve about had it with these people.

“And let me tell you why. We’ve got one candidate that says we ought to abolish Medicaid and Medicare. Have you ever heard of anything so crazy as that? Telling our people in this country who are seniors, or about to be seniors, that we`re going to abolish Medicaid and Medicare?

“We’ve got one person saying we ought to have a 10% flat tax that will drive up the deficit in this country by trillions of dollars that my daughters will spend the rest of their lives having to pay off. You know what I say to them is why don’t we have no taxes, just get rid of them all, and then a chicken in every pot on top of it.

“We’ve got one guy that says we ought to the take 10 million or 11 million people and pick them up – I don’t know if we’re going to go in their homes, their apartments? We’re going to pick them up and we’re going to take them to the border and scream at them to get out of our country? Well that’s just crazy. That is just crazy.

“We’ve got people proposing health care reform that’s going to leave, I believe, millions of people without adequate health insurance. What have has happened to our party?”

Unfortunately for Kasich, this is apparently not a winning message with the GOP base this year.

ah, but you are wrong....

we just want a pissed off shaker upper who will make big changes, if we can find someone with common sense to do it, so much the better...

jim, you must have missed the post where I asked your opinion of the budget plan and plan of devolving govt back to the states that Kasich put out recently. it got little press.....

vote Kasich!

especially you dems..., who else in the repubs would you want in case Hill-lie-ry blows up?

Yes I did Wes...

I've been meaning to post about the budget deal, but haven't had time (I'm not crazy about every aspect of it, but overall I grudgingly approve; I think Boehner got it right when he said it looks a lot better when you consider the alternatives...)

I hadn't even heard about this plan of Kasich's (and given the amount of attention I pay to political news you're right; it must not have gotten much coverage.)

I was considering not watching the debate tonight...

(Since it's going to be almost exclusively about the economy, I figured it would probably be a pretty dry affair...)

But I'll probably watch at least part of it just to see if we're finally going to see "Kasich un-plugged"...

[wesw]

yeah, Kasich put out a budget plan which included the devolvement that I spoke of...

...supposed to balance in 8-10 yrs. it was news for like 3 hrs, then ignored.....
