A vote for Strickland is a vote for train sets! I love train sets!

You do not want a Wallstreet Banker but you are willing to vote for Strickland who has one of the worst records of employees waste and abuse of their time and positions? Read the Inspector General reports and you will see that under Strickland, multiple state employees have run their private business on state time, yes collected state pay AND pay for their private business at the expense of the average citizen AND 90% of them are still employed as they were either not punished for their acts or given a very slight (next to nothing reprimand). Why does this happen? Because Strickland allows it to happen. There is no accountability in his administration.

There is another choice - Dr. Michael Pryce - a Conservative Independent candidate. He is the only veteran in this race, he’s a business owner, he’s an author, an expert on health care reform - check out his website - www.michaelpryce.com The powers that be won’t let him into the debates. It’s time for Ohio to have someone that represents the people, a man that will not be in the “pocket” of the party bosses and the lobbyists.

It would be nice if the debate could get into specifics with regard to Ohio’s potential for Green Energy Manufacturing Jobs. In 2006 the US Department of Energy wrote of the Stanley Meyer water fuel patents “We have reviewed that patents and concur that the technologies described may be of VALUE for the production and use of hydrogen.” With the patents in the public domain, you and I own them, will either of these two candidates for Ohio’s highest office mention the potential or will the SM patents remain taboo? All voters should read my public comment to the Securities Exchange Commission: http://sec.gov/comments/df-title-ix/short-sale-disclosure/shortsaledisclosure-11.htm Something is not right with USA political leaders. We need to confront our chemical addiction to oil. Are either of these candidates really willing to lead?

Strickland is for taxing much more than surrounding states. One can’t even die in Ohio without getting their estate heavily taxed. Surrounding states don’t tax the estate unless it qualifies for federal taxes - not Ohio. I have written Strickland asking that this unfair estate tax be revised. He effectively replied that he wanted the money. I believe this issue stands more of a chance of being addressed under Kasich or for that matter, anyone but Strickland.

If Ohioians were more astute we’d have a 3rd party challenger. After consideration I’m ot sure either of these guys are what I’m looking for. Hopefully we can find a good tea party candidate in the next election. The only way we are going to fix things is to get rid of these long time politicians and elect real people who aren’t bought by some special interest group.

Under Governor Strickland, Ohio has been a leading State in the economic recovery, ranking 2nd only to Texas as the best State for new college graduates. Ohio is also a leading State in clean energy new job creation. Why would anyone from any party want to elect a Wall Street banker (Kasich) whose legacy is that he played a part in the largest bankruptcy in US history and supports the outsourcing of Ohio jobs? Duh?
