Matt at WoMD Rips George Voinovich, So I Don’t Have To
….. but I’ll engage in it a bit of it anyway. :–>
Using the report by the PD’s Mark Naymik as a peg, Matt, a co-proprietor at Weapons of Mass Discussion, lets loose. It’s a sentence-by-sentence skewering that is unfortunately all deserved.
Matt’s bottom lines (not in the same order as at the original):
….. You have been in Washington far too long, Senator, when you start believing your own spin… Mike DeWine thought that too…how’d that work out again? Oh, yeah, he lost to a socialist.
….. Senator, if you really want to help Republicans in the state of Ohio, allow me to recommend that you announce your retirement and then serve out the rest of your term as quietly as humanly possible.
George’s crying jag over John Bolton, his refusal to learn despite all the evidence that reducing the right taxes raises federal receipts and grows the economy, his stubborn, ignorant support (last sentence at link) for continuing the objectively immoral death tax, and his hyperventilation over terrorist zebra mussels (OK, “invasive species”; go to near the end of the link) were all bad enough. But the last straws were his breathtakingly hypocritical Immigration bill change of heart in June (a level of hypocrisy that Sherrod Brown managed to match), and the Sean Hannity radio meltdown that preceded it.
When he in essence says in the PD interview that there aren’t other worthies in the wings who can win, it’s a slap at several very qualified folks I can think of without breaking a sweat: Portman, Kasich, and Jim Jordan, for starters.
George Voinovich should consider this his last term, and then exit the political stage.

Amen to that!

My bet is that he doesn’t run again, or if he does, loses in the primary. Both are preferable, but I will NOT vote for Voinovich again! I will vote for a 3rd-party candidate or write-in someone else.
