Ken Blackwell: Obama's Trojan Horse
Possible problems with President-elect Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan must be thoroughly vetted. While only a few details are known, one overlooked issue is that it could create a major electoral advantage for Democrats at taxpayer expense. That would be unacceptable for what is being touted as a nonpartisan measure, and gives Republicans yet another reason to oppose it if not restructured.

More of this laughable bullshit: http://townhall.com/columnists/KenBlackwell/2009/01/16/obamas_trojan_horse

3. Blackwell is a total ass.
Yet another empty Republican suit, a real loser. The comments to his silly article are mostly bitter and mean-spirited, in other words typical Republicans. What else is new?

6. Why isn't this guy in jail?
Isn't disenfranchising lawful voters a crime? It should be.

11. Agreed. He delivered Ohio for Rove in 2004.
He and Rove are two of a kind. Pathological liars and as crooked as they come.

8. Ken Blackwell opposes the economic stimulus (the ~$800 billion one being debated) because it might

actually work well.

He fears it would create millions of new jobs, those workers being almost all Democratic voters in four years. Combine that with the high approval ratings it would bring President Obama and the Democratic Congress, it would thus make it almost impossible for the Repubs to regain control of either branch.

So, Blackwell opposes helping to create millions of jobs via government economic stimulus because it would work too well and hurt the GOP.

Yeah, good going asshat Blackwell, for putting partisan political concerns above the good of the country and people.

Dickwad!

9. Blackwell is an idiot and a crook
I saw 'How Ohio Pulled it Off' at my local cinema here in Oxford (yes, really!) and he just seemed so vile.

At first I thought you meant Oxford, Ohio, until I looked at your name.
