1. Spineless douchebag...

This guy makes me sick. He sits back, out of range of the idiot' wrath, and plays the pious card to make it look like their is some resemblance of a soul left in the repuKKKe party. A joke. A sad, sad joke; and he is just as spineless as the rest of his deplorable party.

2. Dear John

Go fuck yourself sideways with a hard cover first edition copy of Atlas Shrugged you worthless piece of amphibian shit.

Kasich is fucking Donnie Short Fingers without the big hair and Swap Meet Barbie family.

Fuck you John. You've turned Ohio into a fucking Southern Wisconsin shithole that would make Scott Walker blush you vapid, soulless corporate prick.

I hate to say that because Ohio was my home state. I don't fucking recognize it anymore you fucked up asspickle.

You'll never be president you fuckstick. At least Donnie Shit for Brains doesn't pretend that he's not a flaming racist asshole.

We'll take care of Donnie Short Fingers, and hopefully it won't be long until we send you and every fucking politician like you to the asheep of history.

4. He's a paid employee of CNN

so he'll just say stuff to make it look like it is stirring the pot. If here were in the Senate right now, he would be bowing and scraping to Turtle.

5. Why do I sense that he is only saying this because he has a long term plan of running either for

the Senate or the Presidency in a few years?

6. F**k Kasich. He was one of the main movers behind the bogus

impeachment of President Clinton.
