Truer Words Were Never Spoken

People didn’t like the tools we offered here.”-- Gov. John "Koch Machine" Kasich, offering his thoughts on the massive defeat of his reactionary union busting law by the good people of Ohio.

Yes, Governor, people usually don't like tools in public office. For example, you and your Rethuglican legislators.

Thanks for playing word association.

Ohio Rejects Right-Wing Attack on Labor

Today, Ohio voters overwhelmingly rejected the Rethuglican state law that would have stripped public employees -- police, fire fighters, teachers, etc. -- of their collective bargaining rights. It's a major defeat for the unpopular Gov. John "Koch Machine" Kasich, who is reeling with the worst approval numbers of any governor.

Congratulations to the labor movement, who got the message out to the general public that this attack on the middle class was the opening salvo from the Rethugs, who were representing big corporate interests in trying to bust union rights. Now, if Wisconsin voters can follow suit and boot Gov. Scott "Too Much Johnnie" Walker and his merry band of Koch-heads, we'll pop the champagne.
