Ohioans Having Incredible Buyers Remorse Over Gov. Kasich

[upstatecajun]

Source: TPM

Just a few months into his first term, Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) appears to be immensely unpopular with his constituents, a clear majority of whom disapprove of his job performance, according to a PPP poll of registered voters. What's more, if a do-over election were held today Kasich would lose -- by a resounding 15-point margin.

Kasich barely defeated incumbent Gov. Ted Strickland (D) last November, winning by a slim 49% to 47%. But if they could do it all over again, 55% of voters now say they would vote for Strickland, while only 40% say they'd go with Kasich.

1. hHE IS A BULLY, ALWAYS HAS BEEN...

BUT THEN AGAIN THE REPUBLICANS ALL ARE BULLIES

[defendandprotect]

40. So true --

I think they are getting even more vicious -- or setting them loose to be

even more vicious? T-BAGGERS scare me because I see them as an effort to

move political debate into more aggresive area -- more hate -- less debate

and discussion -- less truth heard. And, also, spitting on members of Congress

and the way they busted up the Dem Town Meetings seem to point to more stuff

bordering on violence -- recall one there with a rifle over his shoulder?

Wasn't there another with a gun in his boots?

2. what was it that Nancy Pelosi said

"Elections have consequences....."

yeah, that was it.

[pacalo]

5. That was actually Barbara Boxer.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

8. thanks, i truly did not know that

I always thought it was NP. It was my tag on my emails for a while, when I start using it again, I will be sure and change it. Thank you.

[pacalo]

29. Go to youtube & search for "boxer + inhofe + elections have consequences.

It is must-see! It couldn't have been funnier if she had given him graham crackers & a glass of milk to behave himself. :rofl:

[SharonAnn]

21. I know Barbaxer said "Elections have consequences." Others have, too.

[Blue Owl]

3. I say check the GOP-owned and manufactured voting equipment

Those ratfuckers cheat every possible chance they get.

[pacalo]

6. +1.

[Auntie Bush]

17. Hits nail on head. Always suspected that.

What did the polls say just before the election? Was the idiot ahead or behind? Does anyone know?

[glinda]

18. I believe many elections in may States were rigged.

[Blue Owl]

19. Remember California last November?

Paper Ballots = Zero Repukes elected to office.

[defendandprotect]

36. Wow -- how did that get going?

28. Only about 49% are stupid in Ohio...

The ones that voted for King John. Your broad stroke is a bit much and condescending to us in Ohio who did not vote for the turd.

[defendandprotect]

34. I'd question every election back to Nixon/Humphrey ... that's when the computers began to come in...

You might be interested in this --

LARGE computers used by MSM came in during mid-1960's ...

Voting computers in late 1960's --

In Florida two journalists began an investigation in late 60's due to pecular

results from the computer voting with no backing for results --

VOTESCAM -- The Stealing of America --

http://www.constitution.org/vote/votescam__.htm

The book is still around for like $3 here and there --

but you can read a lot of it at the website the family keeps going.


I'm not at all sure that Nixon ever had a "Southern Strategy" -- maybe he only

had GOP computers?

Also -- the large computers used by MSM gave them new powers to PREDICT and CALL

elections -- winners, losers -- Electoral College votes -- even to name the new

president! That new power was simply REVERSED in 2000 when they recalled Florida

from Gore -- !!

4. K&R.

As sort of an aside, I liked Charles Schumer's quote (different story, same page): "All the incoming GOP freshmen are Walker conservatives."

Only, they're not conservatives -- they're extremists.

[truebrit71]

7. I love it when voters act all suprised when the former candidates turn out to be the DB's...

...they were warned about before they voted them into office...

Why would they be surprised that a pig grunts?

That's why i thnk my lucky stars that the right-wing nutbag in IL didn't get in...there was some serious pressure but we were able to dodge that bullet..

[valerief]

9. We told you so! nt

[here_is_to_hope]

10. I had drivers remorse just passing through Ohio....

I feel for Ohioans, I do but shit, Kasich is what they voted for, let them deal with him.
Lots of big mountains between he and I.
Thank goodness.

[Marthe48]

11. I STILL DON'T trust the voting machines

and the fake polls that make every race close--Gov. Strickland was handling the mess the repugs made when Taft's incompetence ruined the Ohio economy. Down here, in SE Ohio, there were many more Strickland signs that for Komrade K-suck (yes, I like it and I'm using it til he falls off the political map)

Let's get the exit polls back, and see what the real vote is!

[global1]

12. It's Not Buyer's Remorse - It's Voter's Remorse - It's Only Buyers Remorse When The ......

corporations fund a candidate and then he/she turns on them after being elected.

[Marthe48]

13. good point!

nt

[No Elephants]

15. When was the last time that happened to corporations, I wonder?

[shanti]

14. so did we

here in cali (schwarzenegger). however, by the time people were pissed off enough to recall him, it was going to be too expensive to hold another recall election (which got him in in the first place), so he continued the damage. he didn't show his hand until his first term was done though.

ohio's situation sounds much more urgent, so don't wait! recall kasich asap!

[BadGimp]

16. I am hearing the ass clown they elected in Michigan is even worse..

This is all so weird...

[maxrandb]

31. It's not weird

It's exactly what happens when Tea-Baggers go to the polls in lockstop and "good" Democrats stay home, because....well, who knows why the hell they stayed home, but one thing is for sure...THIS SHIT ISN'T WORKING!

Nice message that was sent, huh? I swear, some Democrats and Independents are like people that suffer from "battered spouse syndrome"...

-"This time it will be different"
-"If I just stay home, or support the wingnut, he won't hit me anymore"
-"It's all my fault...there's no difference between the spouses...THEY ARE ALL THE SAME so it doesn't matter"

Oh well, maybe we have to go through hell to learn, eh?

[titaniumsalute]

22. Fuck Ohio

I left two years ago. Moved to another Nazi state called Florida. Ohios are some of the most ass-hat voters ever. Before Ted Strickland Ohio had Bob Taft as Govenor. He has an approval rating of 15% when he left office. 4 years of Strickland and "oh gee we can't have these libruls in office." So they vote in this asshat.

[The Nexus]

23. Who is the LT. Gov of Ohio? nt

[upstatecajun]

26. Mary Taylor

Here is her facebook page
http://www.facebook.com/MaryTaylorOH

[HughBeaumont]

41. From what I hear, she's pretty damned lousy in her own right.

[_ed_]

24. Is anyone else sick of idiot voters like this?

Seriously.

[ClarkUSA]

27. Me.

[Tatiana]

30. I still have a very hard time believing Strickland lost that election.

I seriously think they may be stealing elections in Ohio. Wouldn't be the first time...

[hollowdweller]

37. A lot of the Ohio democrats are populists on trade

I think if Obama and the dems would have been perceived as doing anything to slow free trade or protect US jobs like a lot of dems who win in red areas talk about then Strickland would have won.

The free trade issue really hurts the dems in these areas. Where the voters identify more with republicans on social issues. So take job protection off the table and the GOP wins.

Glad people are wising up to what having them in power really means though.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

45. I don't... When you put hate first in your life you will suffer.

They might have buyers remorse, but stupid white rage delivered the election to Kasich fair and square.

The bottom line is in much of the country elections are decided by imbeciles so blinded by hate as to be impervious to reality.

[HughBeaumont]

46. This.

And I'm sorry to say, a lot of the hatred in this state and many others is born in the churches, which Ohio has in abundance, even in the "blue" areas. I'm supremely surprised Sherrod Brown is our Senator.

[Dawson Leery]

32. It makes no sense why those upset with Obama

took their anger out of the entire party, including the progressives and liberals.

[defendandprotect]

33. RECALL -- ???

[upstatecajun]

35. Not in Ohio no recall

FYI THE OHIO CONSTITUTION DOES NOT HAVE A PROVISION FOR A RECALL

:argh:

[defendandprotect]

39. Well, the GOP sure put it to use re Gray in CA -- why shouldn't we ....but

don't think we here in NJ have a RECALL either?

[HughBeaumont]

42. We're stuck with this fucko for four years.

He isn't going to be impeached because Republicans also control the state legislature.

[upstatecajun]

44. Amend the Constitution

:freak:

[HughBeaumont]

43. SlowHio is going to pay a grave price for being Faux News Lobotomy Patients.

How many times does your step dad have to hit you with a bat before you run the hell out of that house?

NONE OF THEM ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER.

EISENHOWER CONSERVATIVES DON'T EXIST.

YOU HAVE NOTHING BUT FASCISTS IN THAT PARTY, AND THEY DON'T LIKE YOU!!

How many times does this have to be shouted to the low-info, low IQ voters? I don't know. How many times . . .

[Keith Bee]

47. Unfortunately, the point is moot

Unless they're willing to work for a recall.

[HughBeaumont]

49. No recall in Ohio.

No impeachment either as long as Republicans control the state.

We're stuck with this idiot while he ransacks the state.

Awesome.

[upstatecajun]

50. but we can change the

power in both houses in 2012.....

[Bill McBlueState]

52. yep, and SB 5 could be overturned by initiative

But that douchewagon Kasich gets to do whatever he wants for four years, and he's governing exactly that way.

[hobbit709]

48. Now these voters think about it.

where were their brains last November.

[mod mom]

51. Will any of you consider posting comments on this Cols Dispatch article?

http://www.dispatchpolitics.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2011/03/16/copy/budget-pain-spread-around-and-down.html?adsec=politics&sid=101

Kasich has his lap dogs out in force. Thanks.

[upstatecajun]

53. I just did

"Think about it for a min. if cuts to cities are approved how are they going to make up the lost revenue? They will come to us for more money or privatize police and fire.....think real hard before you jump on the Kasich Wall Street oil tanker…."
