The Plain Dull is reporting that former State Senator Boob Spada much prefers to be handed a job than work for it. Rev. Ted offered Boob a job with the state and now Boob can't run away from his race for Tom Patton's old House seat fast enough. And down Cincy way another GOP'er is jumping ship to worship at Rev. Ted's Temple of Holy Patronage...

How many Democrats does it take to get House Republicans to drop out of
swing districts? Just one -- as long as his name is Ted Strickland.
In a move that scrambles Republican plans to hold the Ohio House, a pair of GOP
lawmakers appear on their way to ending their election campaigns and landing
government posts offered by the Democratic governor.
Republican State Rep. Jim Raussen confirmed that he will leave his Hamilton County seat to take a newly created position as director of the Insurance and Financial Services department within the state development department. An official announcement of the position paying $115,000 annually is expected to come shortly.
Meanwhile, Republican sources are saying that state Sen. Bob Spada, a North Royalton Republican, will end his bid for the 18th District House seat to take a seat on the state employment relations board.

So how does a Republican get a patronage job? Well he of course he goes to the Democrats. This shows how weak the GOP has become not only on the local level, but also on the state level. When you have unprincipled candidates who will sell out to the highest bidder rather than fight for a seat this is what you get. Great candidate recruitment! Kiss the State House goodbye RINO's! Hold on tight kids, it's gonna be a bumpy November.
The least you should be able to expect from a pol is that when you buy him, he stays bought.
ReplyDeleteOur RINOs aren't even good for that.
Spada originally appointed to his Senate seat, so he didn't even have to beat anyone for it. Now, the GOP practically gift wrapped the house seat for him.
ReplyDeleteOf course, since Patten (his opponent, not Tom Patton) has raised some coin for this race and Spada actually has a fight on his hands, he calls it quits.
There are many things that I could call Spada right now, but all of them are pretty vulgar.
It would be a shame to lose the House because of this, but looks like it may happen.
ReplyDeleteAs a young RINO I am proud of BOB SPADA. Being the GREATER CLEVELAND Young RINO I can tell you that my friends and I look up to Bob Spada. He used his position and relationships with everyone around him has steps on the ladder to this government job. Way to go Mr. Spada...all us young Rinos in Cuyahoga County are proud of you. Maybe you can get us some bailiff jobs or a job at the BOE.
ReplyDeleteGC this is why I asked you to join aboard here at KRS. Having you describe the life of a baby RINO as you grow up in conservative politics in this area will open the eyes of many.
ReplyDeleteOf all the horned ones in the RINO Party of Cuyahoga County (RPCC), and there are many, who do you admire most? Since the herd or "social club" is so full of it, oops mean full of them, picking one may be hard. So please describe what quaility you most admire of the RINO-packed party?
I personally think this is great. Maybe some of the sheep in the RPCC will wake up and realize these guys do nothing but care about themselves. Top to bottom they can give a shit about conservative politics, the rank & file members of the RPCC or improving this area. As always, the bottom line for them is their pocket book.
