2. I hate that smarmy fucker, and I hate the collective retardation of this state.

My girlfriend and I are making plans to leave Ohio as soon as she is finished with school. This State has been my home for my entire life, but I just can't tolerate the stupidity that allowed this fucking prick to become the governor. Far too many people I associate with voted for him, including my own father. Well, they can all kiss my ass while they clean up the shit that this maggot is going to leave behind in this state...

Thoroughly disgusted.

3. Consider Seattle. I used to live in NW Penna, so I can empathize.

4. Hmm I think if a few states have union busting, it may

show the rest of the nation what not to become. I have several friends thatare planning on moving out of ohio. Think the state is going to experience a real down turn. I mean why stay?

5. I wished she add this: his fleecing taxpayers w paying for security at his home & OSU speaker fees

As he calls for cuts, he fleeces taxpayers:

Cost of security upgrade at Kasich's home withheld

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

John Kasich will be the first Ohio governor in a generation to forgo the secure confines of the state-owned Governor's Residence in Bexley in favor of his private residence, which means taxpayers will pay for security improvements at Kasich's home near Westerville.

The size of that bill, however, might never be known publicly.

Kasich's 4,400-square-foot home sits amid 10 acres in Genoa Township near Hoover Reservoir. The Delaware County auditor valued the property at $759,500 in 2008.

In addition to providing around-the-clock security at the Kasich home, including a checkpoint to restrict access to the gravel road leading to the property, the patrol will continue to guard the official residence in Bexley. Kasich has said he'll use the state-owned home for ceremonial functions.

OSU paid Kasich $4K per classroom session

By Laura A. Bischoff, Columbus Bureau Updated 9:25 AM Monday, August 16, 2010 COLUMBUS — As a candidate for governor, Republican John Kasich has called on colleges and universities to cut costs and force professors to teach more courses.


Yet for seven years Kasich served as a “presidential fellow” at his alma mater, Ohio State University, in a role that paid him the equivalent of about $4,000 per campus visit.


“It sounds like a perk program for a politician that we can’t afford,” said Matt Mayer of the Buckeye Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank that has posted government salaries in an online database.

The job was among the many hats Kasich wore in the years after he left Congress in 2000. Although other politicians, including Republican Senate candidate Rob Portman, have taught courses at OSU for no cost, Kasich’s role paid him $50,000 a year.

7. Ohio was one of the main sources of those racist teabagger videos in 2008

So now they finally have what they voted for. Soon people will be making jokes about the bumpkins in Ohio instead of West Virginia
