Aargh! What just happened in Ohio? Seriously, anyone from there with more info? I thought the GOP controlled the legislature and that Kasich was a conservative. Am I mistaking Kasich with someone else?

People in OH haven’t voted for anybody good since the late Robert A. Taft, Sr., and he too sometimes strayed from the conservative position.

Kasich forced it through by using an obscure legal authority called the ‘Controlling Board’, neatly sidestepping the legislature.

Its called free health care that Ohio residents are taxed for either way.

How many seniors turn down free parts of medicare after paying a lifetime of medicare payroll taxes because they hate the concept of socialized medicine?

called human nature.

At least few states are setting up the exchanges.

LOL...just in time to make Ohio residents eligible to pay the penalties for not buying government-subsidized ObamaCare. They must be so proud.

Ohio, from whence Boehner cometh? They’re as RINO-populated as New Jersey, and Kasich the big sales-tax expander is their anything-but-conservative leader. (Only the liberal media calls Kasich “conservative”.)

Kasich SAID he was a conservative, but turned out to be a brainwashed Christian who thinks it’s biblical to take from some people and give to others...he’s wrong!

He’s a loser, too.

By doing what he did, he violates:

* Romans via Paul says governments are installed by God...so Kasich violated that

* Unintended consequences of 0bummercare/Medicaid expansion causes tax payers to have money TAKEN, e.g., stolen from them and given to others...I doubt the Lord thinks that was ok

* This expansion also gives rise and reward to those already cheating the government

* This expansion assists illegal aliens - can of worms, so Kasich must be ok with amnesty, which also causes people to violate the Romans’ principle aforementioned and hurts businesses and taxpayers, e.g., steals from them

* It is also biblical to work...all of this violates that as well

Good reasoning, Kasich...

Virginia is not one of the states that I know of and it is making health care VERY expensive for me.

GOP controlled? Kasich ran in 2010 as anti-Obamacare, but by 2012 he became one of the most maniacally pro-Obamacare governors, it’s not even funny. He should just switch parties. He’s probably one of Obama’s favorite governors.

Ohio voted against Obamacare. Like a whopping 66% against Obamacare.
Kasich is acting like Obama - Dictator Wannabe

I’m really discouraged about this. Discouraged to the point where I feel like there is just no use in voting for anything or anyone - anymore.

Your answer is in your statement. I'll give you a hint, and it involves the letters G,O and P.

C’mon down to Texas!

I left Ohio for low tax Texas and love it.

No income tax, water and electricity are half the price of Ashtabula.

(Still root for the Brownies though)

Wow, what a sick scumbag Kasich turned out to be. I remember when he was a “rising star” in the GOP House, but then he suddenly up and quit. I always figured somebody has some pretty filthy dirt on him. Now I’m sure of it.

I’ve been trying to tell people here how much of an asshole kasich is for some time. He was the deciding vote in clinton’s gun ban after lying about being pro gun owner rights to get elected. And ask anyone clerk, server or flight attendant how he treats his lessors. To top that off, he championed a new law in ohio that subjects you to felony charges if the used car you bought has some manner of “hidden compartment” in it. I’ll be voting for whatever 3rd party is on the ballot against him.
