Ohio Sen 3rd: Goodman (R) Totally Out of Touch on Campaign Finance

[nascar55]

From the Ohio 2006 Blogg. Wow this is how they all feel I think.


" Everybody in the 3rd Ohio Senate District ought to log on to The Ohio Channel and watch this speech by State Sen. David Goodman (R-New Albany) in the debate on H.B. (Sub.) 1, which raised contribution limits in political campaigns astronomically (a 300% increase to $10,000). It's in Segment #2, about half way through.

This man is either pathetically naive or completely dishonest. He says that the other State Senators might be influenced by campaign money, but he is not. "I'm not influenced by money," he declared, and later "I am incorruptible." He points out that State Senators make "only $56,000 a year" and comments that the job "doesn't mean that much" to him. He even says that it "demeans this body" to say that legislators may be influenced by money"

1. A little of both - naive and dishonest

As are all the GOP'ers in the Ohio General Assembly. Take the arrogance and corruption of Repugs in Congress and multiply it by 100 and you'll have the Ohio GOP caucus.

Using term limits and a criminal syndicate to funnel campaign contributions, they've pretty much eliminated the democratic process in Ohio government. Ohio is now 100% owned and operated by GOP donors and corporations. GOP elected officials in Ohio fear no one.
