>>”I am waiting for the teachers union to take out full page ads in all of the newspapers apologizing for what they had to say about me during this campaign,” said Kasich.<<

Do we have another Christie here?

[technically right]

And maybe get rid of that stupid “renewable energy requiment”.

I don’t like Rick Snyder or his liberal ideas but I prefer to shut him down gracefully so we don’t end up with a democrat again in just a few years.

Hopefully guys like Kasich will be able to talk some conservative sense into him without starting a fight that none of us need.

Simple solution: government workers cannot unionize and may not vote. Pass a constitutional amendment to that effect.

[mountn man]

I hear he’s OUTTA HERE

There have been many thoughtful articles written explaining how this light rail plan was impractcal and infeasible every way itould be examined. Yet the Dems pressed on. Liberalism is a form of insanity.

He decided to throw a fit in JimRob’s direction, posted an opus and hasn’t returned.

Wow, they're dropping like flies!

I wonder if he:

a. left on a midnight train to Georgia.

b. jumped in the nearest boxcar heading out of town.

c. is easin' on down the tracks in one of those hand-cranked rail cars we used to see in silent movies.

d. got some TARP money to go off and start his own Train system.

What does a Republican House mean to me?

A Republican House means fewer Socialist rail boondoggles!

[themoralcompass]

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

Apparently,after Jim-Rob smacked him down, he took his ball and slinked home.

I think Washington State needs to take a lesson from this.

[UB355]

Gov elect Scott Walker in WI is going to put an end to a 800 million boongoggle high speed train between Milwaukee and Madison.

[Republic]

ABSOLUTELY!!

The way Jim put it to him: "Zip it or zot it." His profile is still active so I guess his choice was to zip it.

We could have used Kasich eight years ago. Bill Richardson used just under 1/2 billion targeted for road construction to build Richardson's Railroad which serves several hundred passengers per day in NM along the relatively sparsely populated Rio Grande corridor (compared to big cities like Chicago). It travels from small towns Belen and Los Lunas to ABQ then north to Santa Fe. It runs generally alongside 75 mph I-25 and for the final 15 miles to SF in the highway median! Operating costs are paid 87% by taxpayers and only 13% by passengers (I suspect its actually under 10% if the accounting was done properly.) King Richard has less than 60 days left in his reign, replaced by a Republican.

The thought that this race was so close makes me sick!! Kasich should have have 70% of the vote.
