How to delay an economic recovery

Pay people not to work.

The House easily approved a bill last night that will extend unemployment benefits by 13 weeks to more than 65,000 Ohioans.

Why is it that no one considers the unintended consequences?

The Dispatch is usually better than this

Here they have a story about the GOP "securing" and "choosing" a candidate to run in the 18th US Congressional district.

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.

Obama lies about abortion coverage in speech

LifeSiteNews.com story here.

Notice who casts a vote for abortion in this bill?....our Zach Space. The same Zach Space that pretends like he's a conservative at election time, but votes like a San Fransisco demokrat when in Washington.

But it is a lie

Here Congressman Zach Space even votes to allow illegal aliens to have health care benefits....which you will pay for, of course.

A different take on Space's "Tea-Bagger" comment

Congressman uses vulgar sexual term to slur constituents

Buckeye Firearms Association just as short sighted as the NRA

Why do neither the NRA or the Buckeye Firearms Association care that Zack Space just endorsed Lee Fisher for US Senate? Fisher being a past board member of Handgun Control Incorporated????

What am I missing here?

NRA and their ill conceived endorsements

Who wants to wager that the NRA will endorse Zach Space for Congress in 2010?

What always gets me about the NRA and their short sighted endorsements is this:

Look at who Zach Space endorses and supports, Lee Fisher. Sarah Brady's evil twin, the most anti-gun politician Ohio has ever had.

Yet the NRA can't stop loving on this guy. Seems like they are missing the big picture here....same with Comrade Charlie Wilson.

Coach Protests Outside Space's Office

"A local football coach is sleeping outside Congressman Zack Space's Zanesville Office and says he won't leave until Space holds a public meeting."

NRCC Zach Space ad

Warning, there is a picture of Nancy Pelosi in this Ad. Take that into consideration before you view it. You might want to have the children leave the room.

Obama and the Continuing War on the Poor

Mises.org story

"The process of looting the public appears to have gained momentum with the newest administration. It has embarked on a full-scale assault on the American public, aimed not only at ravaging the poor for a few special interests, but vastly increasing the number of people consigned to poverty. Whether we look at Obama and the Democrats' cap-and-trade legislation or their health care reform or their pork barrel stimulus bill, in each case they intend to raise prices and increase taxes on us all. While a few corporate interests will benefit grandly from such nonsense, the vast majority of us will be made poorer."

House Committee Again Fails to Deny Illegal-Alien Access to Healthcare Benefits

Zach Space has completely left the reservation. Now he works to allow illegal aliens access to tax payer funded health care!

Today, the House Energy and Commerce Committee endorsed an amendment sponsored by Rep. Zack Space (D-Ohio) that was designed to provide political cover for Representatives who want to give illegal aliens benefits under the healthcare reform bill (H.R. 3200). The amendment’s language reaffirms current law, which prohibits illegal aliens from applying for state Medicaid and child health insurance programs, but does not require states to verify whether applicants are actually eligible to apply. Therefore, H.R. 3200 will continue to allow states to require little more than an attestation of citizenship in benefit applications.

Under the health care bill, states would be required to automatically enroll non-traditional Medicaid individuals to the proposed government-run option. An amendment offered yesterday by Rep. Nathan Deal (R-Ga.) would have required states to verify an individual's citizenship status before automatically enrolling them. That amendment was defeated by one vote. Rep. Space, the sponsor of today’s amendment, was one of those who opposed the Deal amendment.

The Committee passed its portion of the bill tonight by a 31-28 margin. Before passage, Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) noted that that the remaining amendments not considered tonight will be placed in a separate bill. When Congress returns from recess, the committee will mark up and pass that bill. The Rules Committee, he said, would deem it to be an accepted amendment for floor debate on H.R. 3200.

Zach Space represents San Francisco

Again, Zach Space lines up with San Fransisco Nancy Pelosi and votes with the liberals. He is no conservative, no matter what color dog he thinks he is.

It's clear that anytime Pelosi needs a vote from him, he's there for her. To heck with his constituents! He represents San Francisco's values much better than the 18th district.



Here he votes to pay for illegal alien's health care with your tax money!

Then he votes to abort babies with your tax money!

This guy needs to go.

Zach space no conservative

Here we go again, the media calling Zach Space a "fiscal conservative". Nothing could be further from the truth. This guy voted for the largest tax increase in US history with his cap and tax vote. He's also supported (along with Comrade Wilson) all of Obama's deficit creation bills.

No conservatism at all. This "blue dog" label that Pelosi has allowed these few democrats to keep is nothing more than quasi cover (for re-election) for them to pretend that they are conservatives. Because, in the end, they support our socialist president's crazy / anti-American schemes.

House Dems to move ahead on health care

WASHINGTON — The House is moving ahead on health care legislation after the leadership and fiscally conservative lawmakers worked out a deal.

Rebellious Democrats who have stalled work said Wednesday they've reached agreement with the leadership and the White House. Four of the seven so-called Blue Dog Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee said they resolved their differences with Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif. The lawmakers also had been meeting with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

The development allows the panel — the last of three in the House — to complete its work before lawmakers leave Friday for an August recess.

The four are Reps. Mike Ross of Arkansas, Baron Hill of Indiana, Zach Space of Ohio and Bart Gordon of Tennessee.

Don't be fooled, Space is no moderate...neither is Wilson

“The Blue Dog caucus represents a significant and effective check against the dangers of extremism when it comes to party politics,” said Blue Dog Rep. Zack Space (D-OH). “We understand that the left wing of our party doesn’t have it right all of the time. We understand that the Republican party doesn’t have it wrong all the time.”

Speaking of extremism....what is voting for the cap and tax bill if not extreme. The largest tax increase in US history is moderation?

Space is no moderate and neither is Comrade Wilson.

Apparently they are taking turns pretending to be conservatives. Space voted for the cap and tax bill while Bolshevik Charlie opposed it. Now Wilson supports the health care / taxpayer funding of abortions bill and Space is beating his chest like he's really standing up for his constituents....after the cap and tax vote, of course.

These two are lunatics that don't represent the values of southeastern Ohio.

Jackson County times passes off Space press release as "news"

The media apparently do not care why no one reads or listens to them anymore. Whatever happened to equal time?

Here the Jackson County Times has a story obviously written by Space's staff being passed off as news. You'd think they'd at least have the journalistic integrity (I know it's an oxymoron) to state the fact that this is a news release.

"Standing up for the needs of his constituents, Congressman Zack Space (OH-18) welcomed the passage of the legislation that funds the ARC at a higher level than last year."

"Space has consistently defended the ARC."

"He is working to restore integrity to the office and create the conditions to bring new industry and jobs to Ohio."

The last one is the best. This from the political hack that just voted against his own district's interests by voting for the cap and tax job killing bill.

Gannett News thinks Zach Space is a conservative

One among many reasons that no one takes the "media" serious.

Zach Space just voted for the largest tax increase in US history. Voted with the EnviroNazis in killing our coal based jobs. Voted to raise utility rates....this is just the highlights of the cap and tax bill that Space voted for.

Yet, Gannett News labels him a conservative? What planet are they on? Well, it is the Washington bureau after all.

"WASHINGTON - Ohio Rep. Zack Space, along with several other conservative House Democrats, ....."

"I voted for Space but when he voted for the Cap and Trade, that was it."

Protesters show up at Zach Space's office

I'm surprised its taken this long.

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

On July 16, the U.S. House of Representatives approved legislation which eliminates a long-time ban on the District of Columbia using "local tax funds" to pay for abortions. The House passed H.R. 3170, the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Bill, by a vote of 219-208.

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.

A pro-life motion to recommit H.R. 3170 to committee with instructions to reinstate the funding ban was offered. The motion to recommit was ruled out of order. That ruling was appealed, but the sponsor of the bill moved to table (kill) the appeal. On a vote of 225-195, the motion to table the appeal was approved.

1) APPROVAL OF RULE - Those Ohio Representatives who voted the PRO-LIFE position AGAINST H.Res. 644 were: Steve Austria, John Boccieri, John Boehner, Steve Driehaus, Jim Jordan, Steve LaTourette, Bob Latta, Jean Schmidt, Pat Tiberi, Mike Turner, and Charlie Wilson (11).

Those Ohio Representatives who voted the PRO-ABORTION position FOR H.Res. 644 were: Marcia Fudge, Marcy Kaptur, Mary Jo Kilroy, Dennis Kucinich, Tim Ryan, Zach Space, and Betty Sutton (7).

2) MOTION TO RECOMMIT - Those Ohio Representatives who voted the PRO-LIFE position AGAINST tabling the appeal of the ruling that the motion to recommit was out of order were: Steve Austria, John Boccieri, John Boehner, Steve Driehaus, Jim Jordan, Steve LaTourette, Bob Latta, Jean Schmidt, Pat Tiberi, and Mike Turner (10).

Those Ohio Representatives who voted the PRO-ABORTION position TO table the appeal were: Marcia Fudge, Marcy Kaptur, Mary Jo Kilroy, Dennis Kucinich, Tim Ryan, Zach Space, Betty Sutton, and Charlie Wilson (8).

3) FINAL PASSAGE OF H.R. 3170 - Those Ohio Representatives who voted the PRO-LIFE position AGAINST H.R. 3170 were: Steve Austria, John Boccieri, John Boehner, Steve Driehaus, Jim Jordan, Bob Latta, Jean Schmidt, Pat Tiberi, Mike Turner, and Charlie Wilson (10).

Those Ohio Representatives who voted the PRO-ABORTION position FOR H.R. 3170 were: Marcia Fudge, Marcy Kaptur, Mary Jo Kilroy, Dennis Kucinich, Steve LaTourette, Tim Ryan, Zach Space, and Betty Sutton (8).

Sherrod Brown sounds like Zach Space on Cap and Tax

Intelligencer story here

"U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, meanwhile, is reviewing the climate change legislation.

"He's working on the Senate bill so that it protects Ohio consumers, invests in manufacturing and ensures the competitiveness of U.S. industries," said Meghan Dubyak, spokeswoman for Brown."
