Strickland’s record in Congress doesn’t mean much to me unless he’s running for Congress again. It’s his record as Governor that carries the most weight. And frankly, it hasn’t been that bad compared to other states and considering the economy as a whole.
Kasich needs to articulate EXACTLY what he’s going to do differently and why it will work. His web site is vague. “Make government more efficient and effective” HOW? Being a budget committee chairman (one of several) two decades ago isn’t enough to win my vote.
Well, you and I will differ. I am certain that Kasich will have a very detailed agenda released for the general campaign, but his initial plan to phase out the state income tax is enough to get my vote. I am hoping he will propose to privatize our workmen’s compensation program which is one of the biggest job killers we have going.
Think carefully before throwing your support for any Rat. Strickland is ardently pro-choice, supported first Clinton and then Obama vigorously in 2008, is more restrictive on school choice due to teacher’s union backing, and he ultimately believes that government is the answer to Ohio’s issues. He is not going to propose any conservative solutions to our state’s problems.
I was not a fan of Taft either, and I agree Strickland is better than Taft. However, Strickland will not do the things the state needs to bring businesses back to this state because he has to bow the knee to the unions and socialists who have run the businesses and population from our state in the first place.
