It is sad that our young people have to die for an unjust war.
My heart goes out to the family that have lost loved ones.
March 20th, 2006 at 3:03 pmI second that Mary. All in Cleveland can feel save now….? Let’s see, bush in ohio, voter fraud heavy there…ok,I get it.
March 20th, 2006 at 3:14 pmNumber of Republicans likely to be re-elected… ZERO.
March 20th, 2006 at 3:17 pmI used to live in Cleveland and I never understood how a Rust Belt city could ever have a Rebuplican voting mentality. Great city, great people but big blinders. I used to have discussions on the environment and taxes and politics and most people even though they were under the average income, having a hard time making ends meet and in a heavily industrial polluted area that had river burn because there were some many pollutants in it, they would defend Repubs “cause they were more religious men”,”tougher on defense”…blah…blah..blah. Group mentality is a very interesting and somtimes scary thing.
March 20th, 2006 at 3:24 pmdlet, I think the evangelical churches have let us down big time in this country by trying to impose their religious views on us. They would have voted for Hitler himself if he told them that he would stop abortion and keep down the gay civil rights movement. So they put a man into office who is dragging us through the mud and slime and claiming a higher power has directed us to this pigpen. Belief in God does not require that we flaggelate ourselves for George Bush, but then you have to convince all of those poor Christians that bought into his war on America.
March 20th, 2006 at 3:32 pm“So they put a man into office ”
No, the stolen elections put him into office.
• We paid $125,000 for a recount of Ohio in 2004, but SecState Blackwell defied several court orders and denied us our rights.
• Wait times to vote in Cleveland’s black districts were as much as 10 hours, with some reports of 22 hours.

March 20th, 2006 at 4:13 pmI agree totally. Just having lived there and had a lot of friends there that just when backed into a corner on a discussion that a child could see they were voting against their own interst they would just pull out the “religious” or “stronger party” nonsense. It was really amazing time and time again. This includes my uncle and aunt. I learned they would not be swayed no matter how damning of proof I had.
No one thought he’d start telling the truth in Cleveland, did they?
March 20th, 2006 at 4:28 pmAnd what did we actually get for all those lives and dollars?
Oh, that’s right: weaker, poorer, and hated. Thanks a lot, Bush! You suck, go home!
March 20th, 2006 at 4:32 pm.
Yep, I work with someone from Ohio. Dirt poor, uninsured and dumb as dirt. Of course, republican.
March 20th, 2006 at 4:40 pmprogressive,proud and an arrogant elitist.Nice combo.
March 20th, 2006 at 5:49 pmI was born and raised in Cleveland. Paul Hackett was born in Cleveland. There are a lot of blue collar workers, or rather I should say there were when there were jobs to be had. A lot of evangelicals, and they will follow what their religious leaders tell them. There was a survey the other day that I posted about, people from Ohio were interviewed who are unhappy with the iraq war, but they still support Bush because — and only because — he is anti-abortion.
With all the pissing and moaning from the right about the ‘fanatical muslims’ these evangelicals are possibly more harmful than any political or religious figure in history.
March 20th, 2006 at 5:57 pmEven with the blue collar anti-abortion voters,
KERRY WON OHIO IN 2004.
So the point, while valid, is moot.
