Ohio Republicans Going Down

Republican Rep. Bob Ney (OH-18) once was on the top of the world. He would travel with lobbyists, golf at fine resorts, eat lots of sushi, and get great meals at Jack Abramoff's restaurant, Signatures. Now Ney's political future is hanging in the balance. It is very possible that Ney might be indicted because of his ties to convicted lobbyist, Jack Abramoff.

Unfortunately, Bob Ney doesn't think he did anything wrong. He blames everything on liberals. Ney, who professes to be a religious man, does not seem to understand that his greed and hunger for power made him do things for lobbyists that were unethical.

The Chicago Tribune has an article which describes the discontent of the Ohio voters. The Tribune notes that
..a recent University of Akron poll said 59 percent of Ohioans want to oust the Republicans, who have controlled state government for 16 years...

Ohioans are sick of the Republican lies, scandals, and failures. We deserve better!
