Geez...were these women doing a goose-step, too?
I sure was! Unfortunately, we then got Dick Celeste! Can Ohio produce lib-dems, or what?? Although, Bob the Taxman Taft is putting them to shame with his schemes!
(Love your name! We should all be on the look-out!)
Yep. Every single person quoted in this story is a former elected Democrat, or a failed democrat candidate.
I can't help laughing at the description of "Eve Bolton" as a "teacher".
She's been turned down a half dozen times by voters, for a half dozen elected positions, running as a far left liberal every time.
This "rally" didn't even get mentioned in most of the nightly cincinnati news casts.
I think Rhodes was in between, but do remember that tricky Dick Celeste's tax increase hit my check hard. And he's now also into the education field. Head of some Colorado Univ I think. Sheesh.
Bolton was caught stealing her opponent's signs in the mid 90s, using her students at Wyoming H.S. to do it (one of those if you want a decent grade, you will work on my campaign things). She is such a bad politician she lost her job as recorder to a Pubbie who lied on her resume about graduating from college, and will lose to "the Dork" (Pat DeWine) in this one. If not for the fact I want my ballot counted immediately, I would be tempted to not vote in that race. The talent pool is shallow in Ohio.
I am so tired of the "women earn x cents for every dollar a man earns...." It's such baloney. Maybe they will also claim Bush is responsible for the huge rise in spousal abuse on Super Bowl Sunday, too? Ooops, that's a myth also... but what the heck, why should that stop them. And I'm sure any day now Gore will give a speech saying Pres. Bush has a "secret plan" to take away the vote from women. Though if these women were representative of female voters, I'd endorse such a plan myself. It is so embarrassing... and by the way, John Edwards is NOT attractive, either. Can someone let the media know this???
"President Bush has under-funded 'No Child Left Behind' by more than $25 billion," she said. "What's right for education? Sen. John Kerry for president."
I missed this one (and how could I?). President of the school system that has been on academic emergency for the last few years, and one which literally (and probably formally) celebrated getting bumped up one spot from the bottom of the heap this spring, just suckered taxpayers into giving them billions to build new Taj Mahals, and still has a 50%+ drop out rate. I need to change my tagline back to "Welcome to Cincinnati, the Hellmouth on the Ohio"
Never let it be said Dems don't overstate their case just a little.
I remember this being said about Ronald Reagan in 1980. My classmates all just about wet their pants on election night, thinking that bombs would be in the air by morning. I had to work very hard to stifle my giggles.
Reagan didn't push the button. And if Bush didn't push the button in the week after 9/11, he probably ain't never gonna.
Frankly, I am surprised that this education numbskull realized that "wrong" starts with "w." That's more than you can get out of most education bureaucrats.
Very true. CPS officials have a hard time spelling "cat", even after spotting them the "c" and the "t".
John Gilligan is now on the Cincinnati Board of Education -- doing for the schools what he did for the State of Ohio -- imposing his socialist beliefs, spending money and raising taxes. The Cincinnati Public Schools spend more money per child than most schools around here, yet their performance is in the toilet.
Unbelievable.
"John Kerry's sister said at a "Women for Kerry" rally Sunday at Sawyer Point that President Bush has waged "war against women" and that her brother will be a champion for women if he's elected president Nov. 2."
AMAZING....of course a professional gigolo(Kerry) would champion women, RICH women, but women none the less. (shaking my head) The Dems really do think we the people have zero thought process.
I remember only two things about Gilligan - He introduced State income taxes, and he claimed he saw UFOs.
What is it about this state, anyway? We are allegedly "normal", Midwestern, middle-of-the-road, sober, etc. but we've had more kook politicians per capita than any State in the Union. Dick Celeste, Gilligan, Kucinich, Wayne Hays, Jerry Springer, Mary Rose Oakar, Jim Traficant, Howard Metzenbaum, Jane "adopt-a-trash-can" Campbell, and others too numerous to mention. Is it because Cleveland and Cincinnati get their drinking water from Lake Erie and the Ohio River, respectively?
I cannot speak for Cleveland, but I strongly suspect that is the reason for Cincinnati's problem. Funny thing is though, it does not seem to affect Northern Kentucky as much, which is ironic, the "hillbillies" in Kentucky are smarter and are moving forward economically faster than the people in Cincinnati.
Typical, isn't it? If I am not mistaken, the highest per student spending in the U.S. is the DC public schools... can you believe it? And I remember years ago in Palm Beach County, FL, there was a scandal when the students were crowded (I believe into trailers) and the school board built themselves a new building... opulent hardly described it. It was an absolute palace. The inverse relationship between money spent and quality of results in the schools under liberal leadership is a disgrace.
Money is the lib answer to everything -- more taxes, more government involvement and everything will be alright -- NOT!!

I remember that. Funny the reporter in this story didn't seem to find time to mention her "political" involvement.
