Where did the incredible odds come from? Strickland? Sherrod has had plenty of time trying to do the right thing. The last I checked our treasury is in the best shape its been in many years, our budget deficit is gone and Ohio led the nation in job growth last month. What changed in the last 18 months? Leadership! That is what you call doing the right thing!

I see, once again, partisan stupidity needs to be schooled.
Uhh...Nassman, our (state) treasury is in the same shape it was when Mandel took office. Which was excellent shape. Nothing has changed (except Mandel has pretty much been a no-show at many Treasurer responsibilities, meetings, etc). But, it's nice to see you're buying the "spin" that his spokesperson sends out when Mandel is called out for (once again) being MIA. That's up there with people/politicians bragging (and in your case, spewing ridiculous talking points) that "we balanced the budget." BY LAW THEY ARE REQUIRED TO!
That's like someone bragging they take care of their kids. You're supposed to!

Your comment also highlights you are clueless in what Brown's position is by tying him into the state budget, etc.. Sherrod Brown is a US SENATOR -- NOT part of Columbus, who deals with the state budget issues.
Good grief. Contrary to the saying, ignorance is NOT bliss. No wonder people like you hide behind an alias.

"I see, once again, partisan stupidity needs to be schooled." Yours included. "Nothing has changed" except we have a rainy day fund and a budget that is eight billion less than the Strickland overspend mania.

I'm glad someone else remembered what this first-class liar had said (many times) during his run for Treasurer.
If Mandel was a Dem, the right would already be ripping him for it. On the right...what's that? Oh. The sound of crickets.

Does the name "Hillary" strike a familiar note?

No, it does not James.
And, not surprised that someone on the right is bringing up something that has no actual relevance. Nice try, but you failed. Unless you'd like to try to mention how it's even remotely relevance (this is where you'll do a good job stretching, but will still be irrelevant).

Something is being stretched here and it's your credibility Jack.

My credibility is fine and intact. What partisan puppets like YOU think -- because I shoot down your right-wing nonsense by clocking clocks with FACTS -- means nothing (esp. when it wins me awards in REAL life). But, I realize it sucks for punch drinkers like you because you're unable to deal with facts when they're presented to you, and have to resort to the ridiculous response you offered up.

Plus, if you wanted to bring up a name that would be way more relevant, that would be Dennis! because he stated he was not going to run for president a second time, and he did. But, that's not the same as what Mandel pulled. But, that's okay -- you're protecting your boy (and first-rate liar) Josh. Just like many other right-wingers are. That's why you have to deflect and bring up irrelevancies rather than just admitting that he did what's being mentioned.

Jack,
Ha,Ha,
your credibility is fine with you and you only.
I laugh in your general direction you silly english knigight.

James,
Someone like you is in NO position to question someone like me. What do you do for a living, huh? Let's compare credentials. Yeah, I didn't think so.
Your responses are typical when you're cornered with FACTS and the only thing you're able to respond with are to "go-to" responses.
One is supposed to get wiser as they get older. What's your excuse? (Save it, nobody cares).

Jack, you wanted to compare credentials with someone, yet you didn't post yours.

How's that work?

Whoa?
Who are you Jack Kelly? Yes I can and do question your credibility. What do I do for a Living? I'm a Public Librarian and proud of it.

Barak promised he'd be a one term president if he didn't fix the economy in 3 years. Soooo... you tell Barac to keep his promise and I'll tell Josh to keep his. BTW, you go first because I have some concerns about the credibility on the part of your candidate.

A comment was deleted because it violated our Terms of Use. http://fairlawn-bath.patch.com/terms

Really Sandy! "He hires people without the proper credentials"... Your joking right? Why don't we see you condemming the democratic controlled cuyahoga county government where nepotisim is the norm?

That's laughable. Like he really had your vote.

There are MANY Republicans who are NOT happy with Mandel's decision to run for Senator after just being elected to Treasurer. There are many on the right (excluding the puppets who only go by what they hear from the similarly-clueless right-wing radio spewers) who think Mandel lied/knowingly misrepresented to the people his true intentions when he started "unofficially" campaigning for Brown's seat a month after he was elected and started to get his campaign wallet stuffed. They want him to finish the term they elected him to do.

While I still hold onto many of my conservative beliefs, SB5 pulled the republican party away from me and drove me to the middle where neither republicans nor democrats dare tread.

Anyone aligned with the tea party will be voted against.

Earl, Are you on leave from the GSA ?
Tea Party = Accountability;
Sherod Brown = Occupy my Bank Account

Tom, if it was a Dem doing what Josh knows he's guilty of being accused of doing, you'd be on it like Rosie on baked ham, and it would be of value.. Get over it, wingnuts.

make that 8 posts

Jack, It's not that I disagree with you because on many issues I agree with your point of view, but can you list your credentials you spoke so proudly about? I hope you're not one of these loud mouth posters who says something than doesn't follow through.

Exactly James, That post sums up Jack's argument.

Patch has no control over the ads.
Do you ever take a break of showing how dumb you are?

Why are you liberals so vicious?

Nassman,
"Why are you liberals so vicious?"
It's all they have.

Hey look at this: the 2 pots (Nassman who is a pansy who uses an alias because he's a coward) & James calling the kettle black.
You've already proven that when the undisputed facts are thrown in faces like yours, you are unable to refute them with actual facts (because Rush, Sean & the local wannabes didn't "tell you" how to respond). Or, if you're called out (like you were previously), hacks like you do what you do best:
Ramble off the usual "responses" (see above for examples) , put your tail back in-between your legs, run off like the ignorant fools you are, and then wait for others like "Pussman" (Nassman), Damon & others to continue the circle-jerk between each other.

if they can make that policy stick where you dont have to show I.D to vote multiple times ...that might be a great sucess for them

Damon, you can stop acting like you're so much smarter than anyone here. Anyone can have a blog. Your post didn't address anything either. You're simply trying to change the subject because, as usual, you are unable to address the undisputed facts that have been posted here. Which is typical. And, in typical Republi-kook fashion, undisputed facts are considered "bashing." Change your diaper, baby.
What are Josh's policies? I didn't think you had a clue either. He doesn't have any--of his own. And this isn't about "liberal policies." It's about a candidate (when it comes to "policies", the Republicans have *no* room to talk).
A candidate who is a proven liar who has said many flat-out lies. And he continues to say this on the trail. But he says this to pander to the kooks like you. Because you want to be told what to think. You're unable to think for yourself. If kooks like you are not going to address the facts that have been posted, then you can STFU and spare us your condescending attitude just because you're another right wing kook who sat silent while you allowed the party to act like liberals over the past 12 years & get us into the situation we're currently in today as a country.
You'll probably just make excuses or point fingers. Just like losers do.

How about when they support the rescuing of the auto industry?

Breathe Hugh,
you're hyperventilating.

that would be nice to see liberal democrat,liberal republican,moderate democrat,moderate repeblican and independants all squaring off in november ....lets face facts all of the republicans were forced to support bush just as all the the democrats are forced to support obama now ....but to vote for someone that does not speak for your beliefs JUST so the other party does not win is non-productive .........but that can never work due to the electoral votes needed
