Jeanette Moll is right again
Apparently I don't have to even think anymore on who to vote for in primaries. Whoever the RNC / ORP support....well, I'll usually support the other...as both organizations have a tendency to push who they "think" can win, not who is the more conservative.
Previous post on Moll / Gibbs.
Dave Yost and Jeanette Moll are both unembarrassed conservatives. Mike DeWine is only a Republican when campaigning. I have no idea about Bob Gibbs.
Makes you wonder sometimes if the ORP / RNC are run by closet democrats.
RECENT LIMITATIONS ON MAMMOGRAMS PROVIDE GLIMPSE INTO THE NEXT STEP FOR ZACK SPACE'S GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE PROGRAM
The Titanic is steaming ahead and the iceberg is in sight. Will we ignore the warning signs and pretend the collision won't do much damage?
The Titanic in this case is the $1.3 trillion government health care program passed this month with the support of our liberal Democrat congressman, Zack Space. Space's program will increase the role of the federal government in your day-to-day life. The iceberg is the massive power transferred to bureaucrats who will eventually determine what medical services we can get. Like the tip of an iceberg, Space's program doesn't look scary at first glance, but the danger runs far.
This week, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force, which included no cancer specialists, issued a report recommending that long-time guidelines for breast cancer screening be reversed. They said most women under 50 shouldn't have a mammogram, thus eliminating the use of the best tool we have to detect breast cancer in its beginning stages. The panel then told women age 50 to 74 to only get mammograms every other year, instead of every year. The panel also determined that there's no cost benefit for elderly women to have mammograms at all.
The cruel irony of this heartless decision being announced this week was made clear by the passing of Stefanie Spielman. Stefanie raged a courageous battle against breast cancer for more than a decade, while raising awareness and millions of dollars for research to find a cure. Sadly, Stefanie left her husband, Ohio State football standout Chris Spielman, to raise their four children alone.
Like most Ohioans, my own life has been touch by the struggles and losses caused by breast cancer. I'm thankful that my aunt is a survivor but have also experienced the devastating loss of one of my best friends and another aunt.
What's most troubling about the federal panel's recommendations is that they are based mainly on cost saving. This is a harbinger of things to come, given Zack Space's support of the controversial legislation that will invite federal bureaucrats to use similar cost-saving measures to affect your family's health care.
Zack Space and his liberal Democrat cohorts in Washington say they want to provide more health coverage to millions of Americans, a worthy goal if only there were money available to pay for it. Because the federal government doesn't have that money, panels like the one reducing mammograms will undoubtedly try to cut costs by limiting other medical procedures.
Congresswoman Candice Miller of Michigan noted that when cost is considered, the question becomes "why have all these mammograms because it is very costly, they could test 2,000 women and only one is positive. I guess it doesn't matter. If you're the one, it matters." Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee went further, pointing out "This is how rationing begins...and this is where we start getting a bureaucrat between you and your physician."
James Thrall, a Harvard medical professor and chairman of the American College of Radiology said, "I fear we are entering an era of deliberate decisions where we choose to trade people's lives for money."
And if you don't think the Zack Space government health program will lead to a complete government takeover of healthcare, you need only to recall the promise made by Zack Space's friend and ally, Barack Obama. Speaking to the labor union AFL-CIO in 2003, Mr. Obama said "I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care program ... a single-payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. And that's what I'd like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we have to take back the White House, we have to take back the Senate, and we have to take back the House."
Now that Zack Space and Barack Obama have their Democrat majorities in place, they can finally achieve Mr. Obama's government run health care. The only thing standing in their way is us -- you and me. We cannot afford for medical decisions to be treated as merely a matter of dollars. We must turn the ship around.

The Dispatch is usually better than this
Hmmm. Hasn't Jeanette Moll be campaigning for this office for some time now? Yet, according to the Dispatch....the GOP just now has found someone to run?
All one has to do is a Google search of 18th district candidates and you'll see that there was already a candidate.
It's bad enough that the GOP feels that the primary voters are not smart enough to choose our own candidates that they have choose them for us and spend the rest out of contention.......it's really bad when the Dispatch starts doing the GOP's work for them.
None of this is to say that Sen Gibbs would not be a great US Congressman for the 18th. It just seems that anytime the GOP (State GOP on RNC) gets involved we always end up with the less conservative candidate.....which is OK if you are a Bob Taft Republican. The 18th isn't filled with a bunch of flaming moderates, however.

Pro-abortion Zach Space
Zach Space votes 100% pro death on July 16th. What is this guy doing representing the 18th district? He votes like he represents some Massachusetts district.
Press release from Ohio Right to Life
U.S. House Approves Tax Funding of D.C. Abortions
The House Rules Committee had adopted a rule (H. Res. 644) governing consideration of the bill that did not permit a vote on an amendment to retain the funding ban. The House approved that rule on a narrow 216-213 vote.

Thank Charlie Wilson for a "courageous vote"? Give me a break!
Here's one from American Solutions....whom I agree with most of the time.
This time they want us to "thank" our Congressman Charlie Wilson for his "courageous vote".
Isn't this akin to thanking someone for stopping at a stop light? His no vote is an expectation, not a "courageous vote".
First of all, how is it "courageous" to vote for the best interests of your district? I thought that was part of the job description.
While we acknowledged Wilson's no vote here, and it was the correct vote.....Charlie Wilson has voted the wrong way multiple times, voting to increase our debt exponentially is his worst trait.....then watching him take that funny money while traveling the district, tossing it around like...well a politician buying votes, is sickening.
So, American Solutions, don't expect a letter to the editor from me.
Zach Space is a different matter. This guy can't even vote against this one job killing, electric rate hiking bill that directly negatively impacts the residents in his district.
Both of these gentlemen need a new line of work, Zach Space should look for work outside his district. He should not compete with the rest of us for the declining number of jobs in his district after he voted to kill many, many jobs.
"Even though the National Energy Tax narrowly passed the House 219-212, your member of Congress, Charles A. Wilson courageously voted "no" against this job-killing bill. In fact, he was one of 44 Democrats who voted "no."
Let's send a loud message to Congressman Wilson and thank him for standing up for his constituents and not caving in to Speaker Pelosi and the left-wing special interests.
Here's his phone number to call and thank him: 740-376-0868.
After you give him a call, please write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper to help spread the word about Congressman Wilson's courageous vote. When Congressman Wilson makes a principled vote, he needs to hear from his constituents that they support his decision.
Click here for some talking points to help you craft your thank you letter to the editor.
Thank you for making your voice heard.
Sincerely,
Dan Varroney
Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer

Zach Space votes for largest tax increase in US history
He really must not want to be re-elected.
His district is in the heart of Ohio coal country and he votes to kill coal mining and the jobs that go with it. Is the UMW listening?
Not only did he vote to kill coal jobs, he also voted to raise your electric bill, your gas bill.
Why do I call it a tax? Because it is government (idiocy) induced rate increases. Just when the economy needs a boost, Obama and Space slap it back down by increasing costs on businesses...which mean higher prices and less jobs for you.
Here's what the Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation said about this bill:
"When the Heritage Foundation did its analysis of Waxman-Markey, it broadly compared the economy with and without the carbon tax. Under this more comprehensive scenario, it found Waxman-Markey would cost the economy $161 billion in 2020, which is $1,870 for a family of four. As the bill's restrictions kick in, that number rises to $6,800 for a family of four by 2035.
Note also that the CBO analysis is an average for the country as a whole. It doesn't take into account the fact that certain regions and populations will be more severely hit than others -- manufacturing states more than service states; coal producing states more than states that rely on hydro or natural gas. Low-income Americans, who devote more of their disposable income to energy, have more to lose than high-income families."

This is what Congressman Zach Space voted for!Here's the alternative to anti-American Zach Space: Jeanette Moll

What is Congressman Zack Space thinking?
He represents the heart of Ohio coal country and he supports a bill like this?
Even our socialist Congressman Charlie Wilson (6th district) says he's against it....though he's so short sighted that one would think all Obama would have to do to change his mind would be to donate a couple of cans of sardines to a "food" bank in his district.
Jeanette Moll would be a much better Representative for the 18th district.

Jeanette Moll is right
She is correct that Notre Dame should not have invited our abortion President to speak, but follow this further and you'll find a vast left wing hypocrisy.
Here we have Obama telling us that we are going to quit being mean to Muslim Terrorists that want to kill us, because it's "immoral".
Yet at the same time he is supporting and promoting abortion here and worldwide with your tax money.
He invites all kinds of sexually confused perverts to the White House "Easter" Egg roll.....but he uses morality as the reason why we can't yell at terrorists who want to slit our throats. (Easter Egg is in quotations because eggs have as much to do with Easter as Santa Claus has with Christmas...nothing)
Silence from the so called media.
