Since taking control of Ohio in January, the Republicans, lead by Governor John Kasich, have been on a rampage of right wing ideological legislation. Now the Ohio Assembly is set to take up another slice of that agenda: Abortions in Ohio would be banned at most publicly funded hospitals, clinics and other facilities under a […]
Somehow the Ohio GOP thinks they are entitled to access to the phone numbers, addresses and email addresses of educators in Ohio: Ohio’s Republican Party recently requested the names, home addresses, phone numbers and e-mails of all licensed educators in the state’s database. The Ohio Education Association, a teachers union, obtained a temporary restraining order […]
Hamilton County, Ohio GOP has redefined class. The people that help bring us gems like Jean Schmidt decided to use a picture of a bald Arlen Specter to compare him to Dr. Evil. The picture of Specter was taken at a time when he was fighting brain cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. Here’s a screen shot: […]
Today’s Washington Times has an article talking about a battle going on between the Ohio GOP and John McCain: In Ohio, long-boiling friction between the McCain campaign and the state Republican Party on a variety of issues reached a new intensity over a complicated local gambling question. The state Republican Party’s central committee had voted […]
Here is a PDF version of a pamphlet I got in the mail today addressed to me from the Ohio GOP. It’s trying the failed game plan of the McCain campaign to make Ayers an issue.

They also took in […]
We already have the primary battlegrounds changing, as states rush to move their dates up earlier. Now we got George Will saying that Republicans need to give up on Ohio in 2008: In the last 24 elections, since 1912, winners of the presidency won a plurality of the states along the Mississippi. Today the Republican […]
I came across this clip via Glenn Greenwald. It is from Hannity and Colmes where Cincinnati’s own midget version of Bill O’Reilly, Willie Cunningham, was a guest going on about the “Strickland is gay” school yard tactic that Ken Blackwell’s campaign and the Ohio GOP has launched. Cunningham said one thing that really caught my […]
A front page story in Today’s Cincinnati Enquirer shows how desperate Ken Blackwell is to win: With Republican Ken Blackwell trailing by double digits in almost every poll, Blackwell’s campaign Tuesday tried to link his Democratic opponent to child sex predators – and the state Republican spokesman even raised questions about Ted Strickland’s sexuality. Blackwell […]
With all this talk of race baiting and racism from people on the left (which I believe is utter bullshit), I want to raise a serious question. Last week in Blue Ohio News, I posted about this flyer that the Blackwell campaign put out: And here is the story that followed: A group of more […]
