- Mandel supports SB 5, the anti-collective bargaining legislation promoted by Kasich and the Ohio GOP.
- Mandel is a big enthusiastic supporter of the Paul Ryan plan to kill Medicare.
- Mandel also believes that there should be some adjustments made to Social Security.
The good people over at Plunderbund have even more about Josh Mandel:
This has to be one of the more brazen displays of lunacy yet from Josh Mandel’s non-campaign for senate. In a letter of endorsement from fellow wacko Sen. Jim DeMint, Mandel went on the record supporting the move to not raise the nation’s debt limit. This is from the letter of endorsement from the Senate Conservative Fund, a PAC run my Senator DeMint to help raise money for people who are clearly too out-of-touch to find a job elsewhere....
...Besides the tremendous impact defaulting will have on markets around the world, and the economy here at home, millions of Ohioans who rely on medicare and social security will see their payments vanish. I’m going to turn this over to Justin Barasky, Spokesperson for the Ohio Democratic Party:
“Josh Mandel’s decision to support the United States going into default shows a startling disinterest in the repercussions for millions of Ohio seniors who will be left to twist in the wind if Medicare and Social Security benefits are delayed because of default,” said Ohio Democratic Party Press Secretary Justin Barasky. “It’s one thing not to care about the job you promised voters you would fulfill, it’s another not to care about how those very people are going to pay their bills, buy food, and pay for healthcare.”
Is Mandel able to think through what a default would do to our people? If senior citizens are unable to pay their rent, buy medicine, or pay for food because Mandel thinks it is okay if the U.S. defaults on its debt, will Josh Mandel and his right wing loon friends care. Not a chance!

* What is a family? Sen. Al Franken explains to some right winger from Focus on the Family the true definition of a nuclear family, in this video posted at DailyKos and orignally from ThinkProgress and featured on YouTube:
I just love Al Franken. He continues to stand up for every American, every family, and every person. A child in a loving family will be able to grow, mature, learn, and become a contributing member of his/her community.
Why are Republicans and far right religious people so full of hatred?
