Ohio Democrat Rep. Robert Hagan Gives Occupiers Tickets to Disrupt Kasich Speech

Big Government  "State Rep. Bob Hagan (D – Youngstown), a Progressive kook’s Progressive kook, bused in 35 protestors for the event. Worse, Hagan handed out several tickets for Kasich’s speech to Occupy protestors ranting outside."

"The Dispatch has video of an anti-fracking protestor screeching, “We can capture the air! We can capture the sun!” after being escorted out of the event (watch for the obligatory Occupy mic-check). The same protestor is shown exiting a bus – Hagan’s? – in an earlier Dispatch video which features perpetual union shill Bruce Bostick. Funny thing about Bruce Bostick: he’s a Communist.

"When Big Labor, environmental activists, Democrats, and Communists are all equally enraged by your governor, it’s likely your state is on the right track!"

 Rep. Robert Hagan Blasts Drug Testing for Welfare Benefits, Suggests same test for Legislators, judges...


Wikipedia reports this:  "With the city of Youngstown being majorly pro-labor, Hagan had been against a bill that looks to limit collective bargaining for public employees. While it was virtually inevitable that the bill will pass into law, Hagan vowed to lead an effort to overthrow it via a referendum."...




"Ohio's State Rep. Robert Hagan, the AntiFracker" Here is one post:

"For instance, he likes to hang out at the Lemon grove, a hippies style coffee/booze eclectic joint where the Occupiers try to congregate.  It was there a year ago that someone couldn't take him any longer and decked his a--.  Then a few months ago, this fool on FB was caught calling a black debater buckwheat.  This politician is a loose cannon and must be watched and negated.  To my fellow landowners here and industry folks, help us here in Youngstown as much as you can.  We do not ned this so called leader proclaiming everyday that drilling must stop!"

Hagan reveals true colors, Buckwheat  During that Facebook argument:

"When asked if he is from "the land of Traficant," Hagan responded, "I ran against Traficant buckwheat..so take your personal shots and shove them where the sun dont shine." 

"When called on his use of the racial slur, Hagan left the conversation, then promptly "de-friended" Cook."

Now it's Romney vs. Santorum

http://www.newsday.com/opinion/walt-handelsman-1.812005

Rick Moran: Santorum in Mitt's crosshairs  "There are a lot of Republicans who remember Santorum's flippant remarks about earmarks during the height of the battle to ban them from congress. That would appear to be a more productive line of attack than criticizing Santorum for not having experience in running a business. Santorum's legendary pork procuring skills for Pennsylvania will no doubt come up for scrutiny."

 Jonathan S. Tobin: Nothing Left in Romney’s Bag of Tricks  "Should Romney try to change his approach in order to keep up with Santorum’s passion or should he allow his advisers to convince him to go negative on the Pennsylvanian the way he took down Gingrich, it will not help him. It may be once the cloak of inevitability is stripped away from Romney, most conservatives will flock to a candidate like Santorum who is better at playing to the conservative crowd. But if Romney is to win it will be as the Mitt Romney we already know. He literally has no more tricks to pull out of his bag, and to expect him to come up with new ones is unrealistic and somewhat unfair.


Legal Insurrection: Insulting our intelligence appears to be Romney’s campaign strategy   "Insulting our intelligence seems to be the Romney campaign’s only game plan:

“And Senator Santorum and Speaker Gingrich, they are the very Republicans who acted like Democrats. And when Republicans act like Democrats, they lose.”

"As we know, Romney never would act like a Democrat."

The Atlantic:  Rick Santorum Is Right: Gas Prices Caused the Great Recession...... but it was one of many factors! 

"In 2009, economist James Hamilton published a paper that retroactively forecast what an oil shock, like the one we experienced in 2007-08, would do to GDP. And guess what? His model accurately predicated much of the collapse in GDP that resulted from the Great Recession -- as if there had been no housing bubble or financial crisis! The oil spike was that bad."

John Fund: Mitt Romney Has Reason to Be Concerned  "Mitt Romney doesn’t seem to realize he is campaigning for two jobs, not one. He is doing quite well in the race to become the Republican nominee for president, and must still be considered the strong favorite. But ever since Barry Goldwater captured the GOP nomination in 1964, the Republican nominee has been more or less the titular head of the conservative movement, the most important single component of the Republican party. It is that race that Romney is doing so poorly in, as evidenced by the willingness of many conservatives to vote against him."

‘African Americans for Obama’ Launches, but remember on which side the DNC bread is buttered

Mediabistro

"To kick off Black History Month, President Barack Obama and his presidential reelection team has launched African American for Obama, a campaign that will go grassroots to build support for the President and, more importantly, encourage black voters to head to the voting booths in November."

THE ‘PEOPLE’S’ CONVENTION? DNC IN CHARLOTTE TO FEATURE MILLION-DOLLAR TICKETS, LUXURY SUITES, CONCIERGE SERVICES FOR THE 1 PERCENT

(All caps in the original)

" Local sources say the DNC is approaching wealthy Bank of America executives in an effort to unload some of its premier convention packages. A number of these executives have been shocked at the audacity of the proposition, given the administration’s attacks on not only the bank but also on wealthy Americans in general. President Obama and his Democratic colleagues have repeatedly charged that wealthy Americans are not “paying their fair share” to the federal government in the form of taxes." Via Drudge.

Ann Coulter; by her and about her

Ann Coulter: Plutocrat Dems Attack Romney As "Richie Rich"  "Until we hear ferocious denunciations of FDR, JFK, Kerry, Edwards and Corzine, liberals have no business criticizing Bain Capital.

"Maybe some people are irrationally offended by the rich, but Democrats aren't. This is the party of George Soros, Goldman Sachs and Nancy Pelosi!

"The six wealthiest senators are all Democrats, half of whom married or inherited their money. Some of the multimillionaire Democrats are:..."

....

"Democrats don't hate the rich; they are the rich, luxuriating in fortunes acquired by inheritance or marriage, fleecing the taxpayer, trial lawyer hucksterism or disreputable money manipulation. Their contempt is reserved for those who engage in honest work for a living, whom they accuse of "greed" for wanting to pay the government a little less."  (emphasis added just because I felt like it.

 American Spectator: Who Castrated Ann Coulter?

There is no conservative writer that I admire more than Ann Coulter. She's smart as hell and, more importantly, she is courageous. She has always been willing to write what other conservatives believe but don't have the guts to say in print. She has never played it safe and has certainly never adjusted her opinions for the sake of conforming to the conventional wisdom of Old Guard Republicans.
....
" As Coulter herself pointed out last year when she spoke at CPAC, Barack Obama will be reelected in 2012 if the Republican Party nominates Mitt Romney for President."
