This fact is laid bare by the group's funding.<br /><br />As always, I appreciate the shallow heckling that apparently passes for discussion at Plunderbund!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154365826394597959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-53691720995992777322011-08-13T23:02:21.422-04:002011-08-13T23:02:21.422-04:00Hey Jason, who is funding Building a Better Ohio? ...Hey Jason, who is funding Building a Better Ohio?

Look at the unions who are funding this little bit of astro turf. They are mainly gummint employee unions.<br /><br />so yes, the union thugs are desperate to keep their rice bowls full. But so are the Democrat politicians. Without the lasvish support of the unions they cannot engage in the kind of smears and lies that have become thier hallmark.<br /><br />but again, these are stupid parasites. They will gladly kill the host (us taxpayers) if it means one more day of life on easy street.<br /><br />If we cannot defeat these thugs via the ballot box, because of efforts like "we are Ohio", the only other choice, it seems to me, is R&R. Revolt and repudiate.<br /><br />I used to follow Greg Sargent's blog on the WaPo. A worse partisan hack than Sargent can scarcely be imagined.<br /><br />during the early days of the WI struggle Mr Sargent made an entry touting the fact that a "watchdog group" was calling for an investigation of Scott Walker. It took me, oh, five minutes, to discover that this "watchdog group" was funded entirely by unions.<br /><br />Lets hope that the unions pour additional millions into Ohio in a vain attempt at buying an election. Let us hope that, as in DC, this is money the union wastes.<br /><br />Oh and Modern, I will amend my remarks concerning the loss the unions suffered in WI. The tried to recall SIX senators, not five. So they went two for six and spent more than 30 million. Only a fool (that would be you) would try to put lipstick on that pig.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-45373423891324703982011-08-12T08:34:22.012-04:002011-08-12T08:34:22.012-04:00Thanks for the transparency.
