Thanks Rob Portman…NOT!

News in from Clermont County this evening. Thanks to the letter Rob Portman wrote to the Clermont County Republican Central Committee, RINO extraordinaire, Jon Husted was endorsed last night.

1. RINO Husted did no work to earn that endorsement – didn’t make one call except the night before the meeting.
2. RINO Husted did not mention the Taft tax increase for which he voted.
3. RINO Husted did not mention that he led the charge for the Commercial Activity Tax.
4. RINO Husted did not mention his “little” residency issue.

Jon Husted, ladies and gentleman, elitest, RINO drinking buddy of Kevin DeWine, both of whom would just as soon spit on Clermont County (and have) than reach out.

So thank you, Rob Portman. Thank you for taking advantage of the county who consistently (in hindsight, foolishly) gave you over 70% of the vote. Kevin DeWine & Jon Husted said “Write a letter so we don’t have to lower ourselves to work Clermont County” and you said “OK boss, how gooey do you want it?!”

You played them, Rob. You know it, I know it…and in this Tea Party era, it won’t take the likes of me to help more people figure it out. When the dems get a hold of Husted – and they will – these people are going to say “Hey, why would Rob ask us to endorse a schmuck like this?”

Giving an endorsement to someone who has not earned it may say more about the committee than it says about you, but your role in it, playing them like you did, says about YOU than anyone else. Good luck with that.

Note to Clermont County: Why buy the milk if the calf is free?

Note to the “Establishment:” You should have stayed out of primaries.
