However, his support of the Clinton campaign leads me to believe that all of this is simply his anticipation of a Democrat in the White House who will nationalize health care, relieving the state of these responsibilities.<BR/><BR/>In the compartmentalized thinking of politicians, if the money used is Federal and not State, then it's not his problem. It will be ours however.Timothy W Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118861693269565715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-27113198756904648212008-02-07T13:37:00.000-05:002008-02-07T13:37:00.000-05:00That's funny, Hooda...But I remember when Taft sug...That's funny, Hooda...<BR/><BR/>But I remember when Taft suggested some cuts and how all the Dems here locally howled about terrible he was cutting all these social service things...I'm waiting to see if we hear the same thing now that it's a Dem governor making the suggestions.<BR/><BR/>Not saying it's right, mind you...just more of the hypocrisy.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677808307727487766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-37586539479231926062008-02-07T13:31:00.000-05:002008-02-07T13:31:00.000-05:00Maggie,It is indeed refreshing to see a politician...Maggie,<BR/><BR/>It is indeed refreshing to see a politician, any politician, willing to look at cuts, to solve an impending budget shortfall.<BR/><BR/>Do you think that we can get Governor Strickland to come to Toledo and to introduce our so-called leaders to the concept of cutting budgets?Hooda Thunkit (Dave Zawodny)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13176392380086227377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-72018547150259458802008-02-07T13:01:00.000-05:002008-02-07T13:01:00.000-05:00now, now, Jay...there you go ... confusing the bus...now, now, Jay...there you go ... confusing the business of running a state with the politics of a presidential campaign.

I'd like to know how is it that what the governor is doing squares with what he is saying about Hillary Clinton?<BR/><BR/>Gov. Strickland endorses Hillary and he urges Ohioans to elect Hillary because she is the "best qualified candidate" and has "the best plan."<BR/><BR/>The governor seems to be making the necessary cuts in one area while advocating Hillary's plan which will expand government, take more money from people, whose honesty and integrity is questionable and has a very different view of what the role, the purpose, and authority of government is than what the founding fathers intended and wrote about.Jay Otthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170850586783653546noreply@blogger.com
