We already knew that Ohios Governor was a corrupt, wingnut, thieving, Wall Street millionaire, crony-centric, lying, money-laundering scumbucket. Now, we can add huge f***ing wussy to the list. Little Johnnie Kasich is too s***-scared to debate his gubernatorial opponent, you see. Here is an article on the issue:
Hes not accepting the challenge because his handlers know that when the Governor is forced to speak on his feet he reveals his disdain for working Ohioans and he is unable to defend his record of helping his wealthy friends at the expense of Ohios middle class, says Laura Hitt, FitzGeralds campaign spokesperson.
But Kasich isnt the only Ohio Republican ditching debates this year. Attorney General Mike DeWine, Secretary of State Jon Husted, and State Treasurer Josh Mandel have all declined to participate in the City Club of Clevelands debate series.
Mandel is a former U.S. Senate candidate with future statewide ambitions and Husted is often touted as a future gubernatorial prospect.
All of these boyos, like Kasich, are little Nancy-boys with not even a soupçon of testicular fortitude. Yes, they have things to hide, yes, they want to avoid being asked tough questions, but at the end of the day, they are cowards.
Kasich is secretive about how he stole some of his millions from the American taxpayer during the Bush Crash of 2008, he is secretive about the money he helps JobsOhio steal from Ohio taxpayers every day, he is secretive by reflex. Like all people who live criminal lives, he is petrified that someone might ask a question that will send him off to a much-deserved prison term. So he hides.
Kasich the Koward. A trembling, wimpy, pathetic, piss-poor excuse for a man. Too scared to debate. Kowardly Kasich.

Plus kasich was unsure if Fitzgerald could find somebody to drive him to the debate.

(13,986 posts)The second part sounds like something a Repub would say, to be quite frank.
Not alerting, but it doesn't sound like a productive message for this forum. My opinion, YMMV.

(8,275 posts)self-inflicted wounds pale in comparison to costly damage Kasich has inflicted on every person in this state.
Either you understand that or you are not a Democrat.

(70,520 posts)We have more Ds then Rs in this state but you wouldn't know that. President Obama and
Sen. Brown both won the state by good margins (probably by more if you figure in the
republican's actions) I know that gerrymandering has screwed the congressional races but
the ODP has been 20 different ways of useless this year.

(2,605 posts)he wouldn't debate Zephyr Teachout but she still got 34% of the vote.
So much for the idea of Democracy and getting elected on the merits of your position, huh?
Cowardly Cuomo?
