I missed the visit, but listening to some people complain in a way more vile manner than I could stand just sickens me. Sadly this is typical anymore. It amazes me how dumb people are when it comes to history and I'm not talking about the founding fathers saga, I'm talking about the last 30 to 50 years, heck even 5 years seems to hard to recall the hardships and the indicators and the pure arrogance of the previous administration. If Dubya is so flipping great in putting us in a 10 year war in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 yet the most resources and American lives were spent there all for what, didnt get bin Laden? Is this administration squeaky clean could they have done some thing differently, sure its always easy to criticize after the fact.Of course lets not forget people like Ken Blackwell who said after the collapse in 08 this was a chance to punish the unions since they favor Democrats more than them, and this whole voter fraud push, blowing millions to pass laws that are not needed, in the last 10 years the entire country has seen less than 20 in person voter fraud cases, certainly worth the millions upon millions because in certain powers that be this will help subvert the population, just like certain TEA bag people with their so called grass root masters wanting only land holders the right to vote and renters have no rights, apparently they don't have a vested interest in their community somehow?
Truly disgusting, if this was some person who lived in the neighborhood, and had no media ties or some public recognition he'd be tarred and feathered by all. Mr Sports are you flipping serious? “Now that he has tripped up for the first time in his life, I ask for your mercy in regards to this. ... This is a good and decent man.” — John Batcho: "Tripped up for once", you mean it was ok he had all this in his possesion but he's remorseful now because he got caught? Anybody who defends this persons character should be fired. This guy should not receive no less than what any common person would get. You break the law you loose it all. Justice should not be held captive to politics or popularity ever, and I hope the judge will agree.
Sorry about my initial comment, I thought their deadline to submit signatures was today, but the way he was rambling on from 21's reporting it seemed to me it was today, I know issues need to be in to the BOE by mid August for November. I don't follow Youngstown news much unless it's 21 and I'm still awake. And no I didn't switch to Democrats, I ride the fence, I always have. Do my views on true conservatism line up with the GOP? somewhat. Do I believe that the mega wealthy that use "we're the job creators" cry as the reason they don't need taxed any more than they already do. Even with all the great tax breaks they have gotten over the years with Reagan, Bush, Voinovich, and Taft it never stopped the companies to flee Ohio and the US to Mexico or China! I've been on the bad end of some of these corporations and Wall Street ideas over the years, and I am not happy how things went. Is government the ultimate answer? Of course not but when the opportunist out spend and out maneuver the middle to lower class then someone needs to step in and level the playing field some. Do I feel there are people out there that are all too happy to accept welfare then to find gainful employment sure there are. Just like with Universal Health Care I wish when I went to college in the mid 90's that I would have had some coverage while pursuing my education, but that didn't exist unless I want to claim welfare, or I had to get a job that provided something just in case. For responsible American's the idea of creating a family as they mature in their 20's and 30's has become a daunting task when inflation and opportunist take every dime you make because you don't have A+ Credit and make 75K or more combined or more. Would it be nice to have a wife be a stay at home mom for the first couple years of a child's life while Dad works hard to provide that would be great but reality is both parents have to work, and the rat race is so fixed it's gone beyond a punchline but a true tragedy of the American Family. And no its not the homosexuals that are killing families either, last time I check this was the land of tolerance and every citizen has the right to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I hope this country will be smart and not let people of doom and gloom, and some that are closet KKK member's scare citizens into voting for Big Oil friends AKA Republican's.
Wow it's amazg no one reads the whole article. He was 107 short. Which is funny becasue he had time down in Hanoverton to bring the TEAbaggers the BS they want to hear. He was pouting how he was told even if he brought in enough signatures he still wouldn't be on the ballot. You can't tell me between Saturday and Sunday he couldn't get 107? I laugh at his whining about the IRS, you make more you pay more? Well let's look at all that goes into how these Corporations make their huge sums of money, they rely on tax breaks, lobbying, and if it's something we need like Oil we'll committ Americans to go over and secure these dwindling resources with force and their lives. Do I wish Tim Ryan was a bit more less Al Gore ish in his sometimes monotone voice...sure I do. Do I want our region to be another joke on late night comedy like Jimmy was on Jay Leno a few years ago? Heck no we have made some strides in the recent years, certainly not fast enough to everyones liking but progress (I know it's a cancer according to Glen "McCarthy" Beck) is slow and as long as obstruction from the now all the sudden care takers of the purse strings and "Right way" keepers to the well being of our country keep it up we might as well be back to 1910 in technology and civil rights. The "I want my country back!" morons need to get a life, and stop being hippocrites, they seem to not be too upset when W formed the Dept of Homeland Security in very short order, committed lives to Iraq under false pretense. Never capturing or even really trying to hard to get bin Laden. So Jimmy take your sad story and spin it off to someone who cares, I'm tired of people around here saying I'll vote for him "I hate taxes" that provide services I use and rely on, and not being the laughing stock of NE Ohio. This is 2010 not 1982, and I hope the Dem's keep their seats and gain more, because this idea of Ozzy and Harriet lifestyle, and taking chickens to the doctor for medical care, and using our 2nd Amendment remedy threats makes us all look like backward morons. I'll use my guns for hunting game, and not using some metaphor referencing guns for supposedly meaning to vote out some Democrat. I think Stalin and Hitler used those means literally to deal with any one who opposed them, if not sure watch Glenn beck I'm sure there will be some Nuremburg Rally footage sometime this week on his crying tirade.
