* As Gov. Kasich and his Republican members of the Ohio General Assembly decided how to further ruin Ohio, word that they plan to go after nursing home patients and employees just makes me sick. Kasich and the GOP loud mouths need to go on some home visits.... nursing home visits. They need to see the daily work of the employees (changing adult diapers, feeding those unable to feed themselves, bathing patients, preparing special diets, keeping track of medicines, etc., etc.). If Kasich and his GOPers really took some nursing home tours, they would not make cuts.

The Hill:
....Ryan's Prosperity PAC sought to push back on attacks by AARP against the House Budget Committee chairman's 2012 budget, specifically its proposed changes to Medicare....
....Ryan's allies are stepping out onto tricky turf by challenging AARP, one of the largest and most influential lobbying groups in Washington, as well as a large voting bloc both parties seek out every election cycle — that represents senior citizens, no less....
Americans are not interested in handing out vouchers to senior citizens to buy their medical insurance. Paul Ryan needs to put down his Ayn Rand book and start talking to real people who have real problems. Besides, I'm wondering why Paul Ryan is so interested in a book written by an acclaimed atheist who did not believe in helping our fellow human beings.

* Oh, my. The worst kept secret is out........Newt Gingrich is going to announce his intention to be a candidate for President. So what? Newt Gingrich, married three times, is not someone I'd look to for leadership, honesty, or anything. Gingrich's past, as in his check writing scandal, and divorces, does not make him an attractive candidate. I just cannot stand to hear his voice or see his face----but that is only my opinion.
