I plucked this ugly diatribe from a Goop website. It may be helpful to understand how our opposition thinks.

Dennis Has Turned His Back On The Voters Here In His District RATHER THAN RESPECT, SHOW DENNIS THE DOOR by Bruce Cobbeldick ( R ) 440.668.0887
In response to the editorial about Dennis Kucinich deserving a real shot at the White House, in the Opinion section of The Plain Dealer, as the Republican Party's leading candidate for the 10th Congressional District, my immediate reaction was to state that Dennis not being a beltway sophisticate is hardly the motive in lampooning him, and whether it's the cartoonist, the out of work steelworker, the Veteran, the active-duty soldier, the businessman or the taxpayer on the street, our Congressman is on the receiving end of criticisms because he brought it on himself. Greater Cleveland's voters had somehow managed to forgive D.K. for his political past, but true to form, Dennis being the ultra-Liberal Left Wing Extremist that he is has carved out a name for himself that has alienated more of NE Ohio than actually endearing his constituents. And Dennis has done so by being a fighter – merely a fighter. It's not good enough to be a fighter. As a congressman, you need to win. But Dennis is just a fighter. Yes, he grabs headlines and is a squeaky wheel, but he doesn't bring home the bacon. Say what you want about Louis Stokes, but he used to bring home the bacon. Like him or not, Stokes got Cleveland the support, jobs and juice we needed to help his District – maybe not always, but the victories were there. Dennis Kucinich clearly hasn't done his job. And that's why he is being lampooned by cartoonists and criticized by the average Joes on the streets of Cleveland. Dennis Kucinich had one job that was very key for this District: Save LTV Steel. But Dennis failed. Equally important, he has used his Congressional Seat as a stepping stone for "greener pastures." Furthermore, he has done enough flip-flops for political expediency that Dennis has disappointed both Democrats and Republicans alike. His recent social(istic) agendas regarding Gay Marriages, Abortions (even late-stage abortions) being "OK" and favoring the legalization of marijuana, Dennis Kucinich has no one else to blame but himself why people have come up with nicknames for him like Dennis The Menace or characterize him as being a joke to voters here and throughout the country. I find it interesting that even leaders of the Democratic Party say that they need a candidate who is a Centrist, a codeword for Republican-like in ideologies. Kucinich is anything but Moderate, let alone conservative. There aren't a lot of people in NE Ohio eager to refer to Dennis Kucinich as our "native son." When I was growing up, Cleveland was called The Best Location In The Nation. When I was a young man in high school, Dennis and the city falling into Default was bringing us down. Even nowadays, a quarter century later, we are getting grief about Dennis. The Mistake By The Lake is our latest label. Kucinich, like Tom Coyne, is a career politician – not a statesman. For them, it's a question of looking for a place to lite (land). They need a job. And based on the way Kucinich has left his post, and gone way to the Extreme Left, I dare say if voters dump Dennis, it will be due to his failures, blunders and botched handling of key issues – things like local jobs, our economy and upholding our belief systems, our values and reputation as a community – on these points, Dennis has shot himself in the foot. There is a difference between a statesman and a politician. Make no mistake. Coyne and Kucinich have one thing on their radar screen: themselves! The people of the 10th District need results – not rhetoric. While I am certainly biased as the leading Republican Candidate for the U.S. Congress Seat that Kucinich has been occupying, I really hope and pray that the good people of this District wake up and get involved in this race, because it's more than being about jobs and our lackluster economy. As a Veteran and member of the American Legion, I am very upset and dissatisfied with where Dennis is headed. Mr. Kucinich has not been good for NE Ohio. There is some real cause for concern with Democratic Candidates like Kucinich and Coyne. They are career politicians, and with Coyne being on the Cuyahoga Board of Elections and still attempting to run for public office, and with Dennis using the Congressional Seat as a stepping stone for bigger and better aspirations, it would be my hope that neither Coyne nor Kucinich are taken seriously. There are many Veterans in Cuyahoga County. Voters here support our military personnel. There are God-fearing people in this District, who care about morals and belief systems mapping to their values. Citizens here want a Congressman they can be proud of and believe in. Constituents in the 10th District don't want an ACLU Vision for America – they want Americanism and traditional family values upheld. We need to turn the ship around, and these Democrats with their high taxes, big government and Liberal agendas have been rowing in the wrong direction with holes in the oars for too long, and we need to do more than keep the ship afloat. What Greater Cleveland needs is to be great again. That is a goal whose time will come, but it will take the steering of a statesman not the posturing of a politician. It's time for the non-shouters and the non-demonstrators to show Dennis the door.

Here is why I hate Cobbledick, he is an ignorant dumbass:
"The War – It is important that this nation make the needed sacrifices to ensure a proactive stance against evil and terrorism. We should not wait until we are victimized before we step into the ring and get into the fight. This is a real and legitimate battle that we are facing, and it has already been brought to our front doorsteps. The world has shown us time after time that it needs our help and loves our help, but we cannot put our fate in the hands of these nations that we have supported so many times politically and economically and with the blood of our military men and women in the past. With or without their support, I believe America does indeed have an obligation to protect our interests and our people. As such, I support President Bush in his proactive measures to defend our country."
