Is RINOvich cozying up with the Climate Kooks?

The Curious Conservative -- Senator George RINOvich -- is getting ready to ram his golden horn up the ass crack of conservatism... again!

H/T Aude Sapere Blog for this great find on "The Great Horned One" in the NYT --

And Voinovich said Democratic sponsors have not reached out to him to negotiate on the legislation. “I think Senator Kerry and Senator Boxer are trying to get the most aggressive bill they can get out of the Senate EPW Committee,” he said. “As a result of that, I don’t think that they are as interested in negotiating as they might ordinarily.”

Voinovich added that he expects Democrats to press for more bipartisan talks early next year once leaders start counting votes and after the conclusion of a major U.N. climate conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.

“If they understand they can’t get cloture on what comes out of committee, I think we’d be more likely to get really serious after we get back after Copenhagen,” he said. “And at that stage of the game, we’ll have much more clarity where everyone’s going.”

Reach out? I am surprised they don't have this dolt on speed dial!

Reason #9,765 for voting against Cuyahoga County Reform Issue 6

This pretty much confirms that as I have said all along - the Issue 6 version of Cuyahoga County Reform is a terrible plan and will not solve the ills of our county.... Senator George Voinovich just came out in support of Issue 6 for the Cuyahoga County Reform initiative.

From the PD --

"There's not a Republican way to run a city, or a Democratic way. There's a right way and a wrong way," says U.S. Sen. George Voinovich. U.S. Sen. George Voinovich has been governor, mayor, county commissioner and county auditor.

Those decades of public service compel him, he says, to endorse Issue 6, the reform measure that would swap Cuyahoga County's three commissioners for an elected county executive and 11-member council.

"From a managerial point of view, I have a perspective that I don't think anybody else has," said Voinovich, a Cleveland native. "Who else has been a county auditor for five years and will say you don't need to elect a county auditor?" More...

Yes George, your 3 decades in office has recently shown us you have a questionable record on guns, think there are too many fiscal conservatives, think Cass Sunstein & Supreme Court Justice Sotomayer are good for our country, thinks the only thing wrong with Barack Obama is Nancy Pelosi and supported the auto-maker bailouts.

Where people are misguided in their well deserved and well intended want of "change" is in the people we elect -- not the structure of our county government. We are living a perfect example of what happens when knee-jerk "change" is made. We cannot afford that mistake in our county.

Issue 6 is knee-jerk change that will actually grow our county government, will create more room for graft & corruption and solidify the power of the same elected officials and businessmen who have already run this county into the ground. Issue 6 is nothing more than lipstick on a pig by the same old farm hands.

SO those that want change in the structure of our county government --- ask yourself this question....

What happens if a bad County Executive and bad County Council members get elected -- then what? Change again?

Think very hard about it -- it is our future!

Sen. George Voinovich Wins Golden RINO Award -- Again!

It's almost like every time he opens his pie hole Sen. Voinovich says something dumber than he did before. Making a RINO Hall of Fame run for the Gold -- Sen. RINOvich wins his own award -- AGAIN!

With a political career starting in Cuyahoga County, where many of his tax loving RPCC RINOette' still swoon over him, the following should come as no surprise. This time the Curious Conservative - Sen. George RINOvich - in his true RINO-like character wants to form a bipartisan committee so they can discuss tax increases to pay for Chairman's O's "I got America's checkbook, let's go shopping" spending spree...

Sen. George V. Voinovich said last week that a federal tax hike and spending cuts are necessary to eliminate the federal debt, balance the budget and preserve Social Security and Medicare.

Speaking after a climate-change conference in Hilliard on Monday, the Republican reiterated his call for a bipartisan commission of lawmakers and Obama-administration officials to make recommendations on tax increases and budget cuts. Congress would have an opportunity to forge a compromise from those recommendations and vote for or against the package.

Responding to a question about whether the state needs to increase taxes to fill a potential $1 billion hole in the state budget, Voinovich said: "I wish we had to do it on the federal level. What we've been doing on the federal level is we've been unwilling to pay for or do without things, and we've been borrow and spend, borrow and spend. . . .

"We have a $12 trillion national debt and budgets that are not going to be balanced for as far as we can see, and our credibility in the world is in jeopardy, and our credit's in jeopardy, and we just sit there and do nothing about it. So, what you have to do is -- I want a commission -- we're going to have to increase taxes, and we're going to have to reduce spending." (Columbus Dispatch)

Hey, Curious George -- your credibility with 'real' conservatives has been shot a long, long time ago!

RINOvich's Hat Trick on Conservatism

Amazing.... including this hands down win, if Senator George Voinovich were a hockey player, his antics over the past week could be considered a Hat Trick on conservatism.

Senator George RINOvich, for again kicking the conservative voters of OH in the buckeyes, for bitch-slapping Lady Justice, , for being complicit in creating the start of a whole new touchy-feely Supreme Court, and for again laying down with the forces trying to destroy our country, has once again, yep - you guessed it, won the award named after him -- The Senator George Voinovich Golden RINO Award."

This time George "The Great Horned One" RINOvich voted for the confirmation of Judge Sonia "White Guys are Stupid" Sotomayor to be a justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. Completely shredding any hope that his sludge-like grey matter masquerading as a rational thinking brain really works, Groinovich offers up this diluted logic...

In a speech he prepared before going to the Senate floor, Voinovich said, "If I applied President Obama's standard, I would not be voting for Judge Sotomayor, his nominee. The President was wrong. His standard makes the whole nominations process an exercise in partisan politics."

"Judge Sotomayor is not the nominee I would have selected if I were president, but making a nomination is not my role here today," he said. "My role is to examine her qualifications to determine if she is fit to serve."

He concluded that based on her education, legal and judicial experience, judicial temperament, and commitment to the rule of law, "Judge Sotomayor meets the criteria to become a justice on the Supreme Court." (PD)

I love it! Sodahead wouldn't have been RINOvich's nominee if he were president... No, the way he's been going the last week - his nomination would have been George Soros or Micheal Moorer.

The only "role" this curious conservative should have is a bread roll! This way it can be stuffed in his gum-flapping pie hole when he makes statements like, "there are too many fiscal conservatives," or offers up these brilliantly baffling explanations of why he is again goring us with his Golden RINO horn.

RINOvich is on a Roll!

It looks like Senator George RINOvich does it again!

For again sticking his Golden RINO horn up the a$$-crack of conservatism, Sen. George RINOvich -- is once again the recepient of the award created in his honor -- The Senator George Voinovich "Golden RINO Award."


Our can't be retired soon enough Senator from OH was awarded his own award last week for making the idiotic statement of, "he thinks the Republican party has too many fiscal conservatives!"

Putting our money where his drool spittling mouth is, RINOvich voted in support of the $2 billion Bail Out of Chairman Obamao's "Cash for Clunkers" gimmick. Not only did RINOvich support it, his "one more nail in our casket" vote would have saved us $2 billion...

Senate supporters of the program overcame a procedural hurdle by the plan's leading opponent, Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., on a 60-36 vote, winning the minimum number of votes needed to keep the program in a $106 billion war-spending plan that the Senate passed later Thursday.

Four Republicans — Kit Bond of Missouri, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, Susan Collins of Maine and George Voinovich of Ohio — voted with two independents and 54 Democrats in favor of the clunker measure, while Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska was opposed along with 35 Republicans. (WCCO)

Thanks George, you've just helped add more to our national debt by creating a temporary bubble in the auto industry that will decrease less green house gas then you regularly spews from your mouth.

And some just think George is curious about being a true liberal!

Golden RINO Award - Senator George Voinovich

Our tormented blubbering Buckeye State Senator George Voinovich once again earns the award named in his honor - "The Golden RINO Award"

Rinovich has won this award so often, that not only should it be named after him - he should wear one on a necklace!


Because he is content on continually ramming his polished up RINO horn up the a** of conservatism - Senator Georgie Porgy RINOvich - by wanting to bail out the auto industry, again kissed the democrats and is making us Republicans cry -

H/T to Matt at WMD on this bit of RINO busting....

Reports had been coming in all day long yesterday. Check them out here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

I especially want to highlight this one because the difference between Republican Leader, my Congressman and a Great American -- John Boehner -- and the Perennial Back-Bencher Senior Senator -- George Voinovich -- can clearly be illustrated in the first two paragraphs of the piece:

House Republican Leader John A. Boehner on Thursday blasted the Democrats' plan to advance legislation next week earmarking $25 billion from Treasury's financial rescue package for struggling U.S. automakers.

Sen. George Voinovich, a Republican from Boehner's home state of Ohio, breathed life into the plan on Thursday by agreeing, in principle, to an infusion of federal funds for Detroit's Big Three auto manufacturers.

Before RINOvich lays down again with the dems, he should read this parable on the auto industry called the Great Canoe Race.

Fellow SOB'er, Boring Made Dull, links to some wisdom from - Ted Nugent. True to our cause - the Motor City Madman shows his love for RINO's...

Like any entity that abandons basic quality control, political parties rot from within. It happened to the Democrats long ago, and now has become the case with the Republican Party, which has strayed from its conservative underpinnings.

There are really only four things I have a strong aversion to: unloaded guns, dull knives, banjos, and Republicans in Name Only (RINOs).

RINOs are Fedzilla punks who feign support for conservative principles only when it serves their political interest. RINOs are also known for their moderate positions such as supporting tax increases, federal “bailouts”, “comprehensive immigration reform”, advocating more counterproductive gun control that guarantee more innocent victims, opposing the death penalty, and growing and sustaining Fedzilla and all its toxic mongrels by going along with the liberals. RINOs have forgotten President Ronald Maximus Regan's admonition that government is the problem, not the solution. More...

Golden RINO Award - State Senator Bob Spada

Boys & girls it's that time again!

King's Right Site is handing out another - Senator George Voinovich "Golden RINO Award."


The recepient of this award must show their RINOesque abilities go above and beyond when they slap conservative politics in the face - much like the the man the award is named after. Todays winner not only slaps conservative politics in the face - he gives us a swift kick in our conservative buckeyes!

This well earned Senator George Voinovich "Golden RINO Award" goes to none other then a card carrying member of the RINO Party of Cuyahoga County - state Senator Bob Spada!

From the PD --

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.

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.

The sources are correct. Hauling back with his foot Spada delivers the swift kick in our conservative buckeyes by backing out of a race he would have easily won. Spada, who I am sure most of the rank & file RPCC members have been told is a great guy, a good party guy and the best thing sinced sliced bread, but Spada shows his true colors by saying screw the party.

Earlier this week, Dark Knight posted this...

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.

While some people are trying to say this was a desperate move by Rev. Ted, it is not! It was a stroke of political brillance not seen in Ohio for quite some time. Because of Spada, the human cure for insomnia (if you have ever heard him speak you know what I mean), we will most likely lose control of the Ohio House.

Thanks Bob... Great party guy you are - Senator RINOvich will be over to help you polish your horn!

RINOvich Wins Again!

It's almost not even fair anymore! But that's why the award was named after the Great Horned One himself - Senator George RINOvich.

Senator RINOvich wins the award AGAIN this time for being Senator RINOvich. The crying man is all over on taxes again. Almost like John Kerry was rubbing his horn for good luck.<p>Team Ham had this tasty tidit served on on the deli counter....

"We're going to have to raise more money in this country. Did you hear me? We're going to have to increase taxes in order to do the job," Sen. Voinovich said. "Anyone that tells you that's not the case isn't being truthful with you. They're not being intellectually honest with you."

Earlier in the week, RINOvich's opponent in 2010 - Ham Sandwich - serves up a Ham Slamwich on the stale RINOvich for again having a partisan identity crisis....

Senator, you just joined the Democrats in voting to raise the taxes of everybody making over $32,000 a year. You have joined the Democrats in redefining the word "rich" to include average Joes like your constituents here in Ohio. Ohio, you know, they place you are supposed to represent?

Fellow Ohioans, I hope you remember that you do have a choice. You do not have to be represented by liars like George Voinovich. You do not have to keep sending a tax and spender like George Voinovich back to Washington. You do have a choice! Remember, by 2010, I will only be half as stale as George Voinovich is right now...

For again displaying no conservative qualities and ramming his golden horn in the ass of Ohio - Senator RINOvich wins his own award again!

Georgie, Georgie - you RINO guy...

you call yourself a Republican and make us CRY!

Golden RINO Award

Remarkable! The cool-aid is flowing & Cher songs are blaring in Columbus!

Lynne "No Man" Bowman, executive director of Equality Ohio, a sissy & lesbo advocacy group, has convinced GOP Rep. Jon "Peter Beater" Peterson & House Squeeker John "Who said I was a conservative" Husted to polish up their RINO horns and help ram through legislation granting "special status" rights to gays and lesbians.

From the PD --

Backers of the legislation - which has been introduced previously by Democratic lawmakers without a single hearing being granted - are optimistic that the time is right for Ohio to become the 22nd state to pass such a bill. However, supporters could muster only a lone Republican in each chamber who agreed to co-sponsor the legislation, which doesn't bode well for the bill's chances.

Rep. Jon Peterson, of Delaware, the sole Republican House co-sponsor, acknowledged that his colleagues are going to be tough to win over.

"I have my work cut out for me," he said. "I can't pretend to look into the hearts of my colleagues, but we will have an open dialogue."

Yet, Bowman said Republican committee chairmen who will handle the bill in each chamber have promised full hearings on the legislation this year. And House Speaker Jon Husted sounded open to the legislation covering employment, housing and public accommodations when asked by reporters Tuesday following a House floor session.

"I just don't think we should be for any sort of discrimination in Ohio, particularly with our economic situation the way that it is," said Husted. "I think we should try to be an inviting state for all types of people." He said that support from Ohio business groups could be crucial to broadening support for the measure.

Yes, "Who Said" Husted correctly points out the bleak economic situation we are facing in Ohio, so the best thing would be to create a "Special Status" for these perverted pagans that will saddle employers with another potential frivolous lawsuit.

Yep, Adam & Steve will be able to keep thier jobs whether they are doing them or not. They will be able to skip around the office humming each other or Barry Man-I-Blow songs free of worry they may lose their jobs. 

So without further ado --  Kings Right Site is awarding the "Golden RINO Award" to tormented GOP elected officials - GOP Rep. Jon "Peter Beater" Peterson & House Squeeker John "Who said I was a conservative" Husted for ramming their RINO horns up the ass-crack of conservatism and biting the bone of the Radical Gay Agenda !

Fonzie gets a Statue - RINOvich wins Award

Some cities have statues of famous football or baseball players, famous citizens or past presidents, war memorials, etc.... Usually the statues have a connection or have a sense of "identity" for the community.

Residents of Milwaukee will be getting a "Bronze Fonz" -

A statue of Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli, the leather-jacketed biker from "Happy Days," will be erected in the city where the TV sitcom was set, now that local groups have raised the $85,000 needed to do it, civic leaders said Friday.

Henry Winkler, who played Fonzie during the show's run from 1974 to 1984, called the "Bronze the Fonz" project "a phenomenal compliment."

I think that is just great for the "Fonz"! Happy Days was a TV show the whole family could watch and enjoy. Though I do think Mrs. C had a "thing" for Fonzie!

Speaking of "things" and statues leads to the next part of this post.... and I sure hope nobody builds a statue of this guy!

In the attempt to cut off any God awful movement to see an erection of the following elected official- King's Right Site has decided to duly recognize and forever commemorate his deeds by bestowing an award in his name.

SO, by Royal Order & Decree of The King (me).....

....let it be further known, throughout the land & blogoshphere, in embodiment of truly witless talents, an uncanny knack for a never-ending compromising of GOP values & feeble minded - sanity questioning foreign policy beliefs & his ever famous love of PORK....

I, The King, hereby commission the, "Golden RINO Award" in the name of the "Great Horned One," Senator George Voinovich -

Behold!!!

I think it goes without saying that having the "Golden RINO Award" created in his name, will bring a Hannity-like tear to the eyes of the emotionally challenged Senator RINOvich.

Senator RINOvich was unable to attend any presentation ceremonies, but has released a statement through his office.....

Like the "Fonz," Senator RINOvich feels it is a "phenomenal compliment" to have an award, such as this, named after him.

Unfortunately Senator RINOvich is busy shining his "horn" before he, again, skillfully inserts it into the derriere of common sense, the American public & conservative values!
