party or forming a new tea party and more a number of people attended the meeting with the expectation of voting but at some point it was announced that only those people who had attended a prior tea party meeting would be eligible to vote as a result only 43 ballots were cast many people were disappointed at not being able to vote and even more ms howdieshell proceeded with the tally of the votes in private and unlike the press release below several attendees commented on the vote taking a long time or as much as a half hour the best part or worst depending on your perspective is that this information has been independently corroborated by my own sources in fact my sources claimed that ms howdieshell counted the votes behind a counter out of sight of the attendees why do i emphasize behind a counter well only because henry hill at think real no doubt inadvertently confirms this piece of information himself remember his statement that morgan s county chair was yelling insults at the counter when i first read this before any investigation i had no idea why anyone would be yelling at the counter apparently even mr henry hill knows that these ballots were counted behind a counter and out of sight of the attendees thank you mr hill for what may be the only actual fact to be found in your post this is a lot of information to digest what does it all mean it reads like a script from days of our tea party let me see if i can boil it down for you dave yost the ohio republican party and their supporters are desperate seth morgan has built grassroots momentum that has left them quaking in their boots he has received numerous county party endorsements while yost has received relatively few he has received the endorsement of the ohio liberty council which represents most of the tea parties and 9 12 groups in ohio by the way the darke county t e a patriots have distanced themselves from the ohio liberty council h t right ohio seth morgan is clearly the grassroots tea party candidate for auditor of state dave yost and kevin dewine are afraid they can t stand in the way of that kind of momentum anymore dave yost badly needed a tea party endorsement he finally got one yes dave yost got his tea party endorsement he got that endorsement by a tea party formed only within the past couple of months led by a man who is married to yost s darke county campaign chair he got that endorsement via an extremely fishy voting procedure concealed by all accounts even that of one of his supporters under the cover of a counter he got that endorsement despite questions raised questions that were dismissed with bellicose profanity spewed by al bliss in the presence of children inside a church dave yost got his tea party endorsement he got it through gangster tactics employed by his supporters in darke county and by a reckless disregard for truth and journalistic integrity on the part of his blogging supporter mr henry hill these are the same gangster tactics that the ohio republican party has employed on behalf of dave yost all along these tactics are sickening they are an affront to our democratic republican values these tactics those who make use of them and the candidate who turns a blind eye to it all should be utterly repudiated by conservative republicans throughout the state darke county tea party patriots now find themselves in the strange position of being forced to stand up not only to government but to the leaders of their own tea party they should do so for the preservation of their movement and the values it represents dave yost should step aside from the auditor of state race or else prepare to face the full momentum of the grassroots tidal wave that is headed his way on may 4 henry hill should entirely retract his recklessly false post and leave blogging to those who prefer facts over hackery and kevin dewine should prepare to resign his chairmanship of the ohio republican party in disgrace immediately following the elections this november in the meantime you and i should keep doing what we ve been doing we should keep supporting seth morgan cpa for ohio auditor of state the tea party candidate the grassroots candidate our candidate and the most qualified candidate to serve as our next auditor let them keep up their petty games and old politics we ll show them in may we ll show david pepper in november and we ll have kevin dewine s job by december at the latest update forgot to mention that the darke county t e a patriots also endorsed jon husted for secretary of state and mike dewine for attorney general last night when was the last time you heard of a legitimate tea party group endorsing either husted or dewine i rest my case april 21 2010 9 54 pm categories buckeye

auditor of state ohio liberty council ohio republican party ohio state auditor seth morgan why don t yost and dewine want to take back the ohio house last week the yost campaign decided it would be a good idea to attack republicans in the ohio house of representatives here s the money quote h t weapons of mass discussion dave s opponent is a member of the state legislature the very place responsible for the out of control spending of columbus with tax day upon us let s rise up and say no more let s get to work fixing the mess in columbus and holding government officials accountable other bloggers have already discussed this but i think there are still a few layers to this awfulness that have yet to be peeled back for example does dave yost think that slapping an out of control spending label on ohio house republicans is going to help bring about the change that ohio needs does he think that pinning the out of control spending on the legislature is going to do anything to help john kasich pin the blame for spending where it really belongs namely on ted strickland does dave yost really care about ohio or does he just care about winning this election by whatever means necessary but i think the point that has really been missed is the sheer hypocrisy here ohio house republicans including seth morgan have contrary to the yost campaign s reckless disregard for the truth again and again stood against ted strickland s big spending but here s the question can dave yost say the same thing about his own supporters among ohio senate republicans we already know the answer to that question he can t if you ll recall dear reader i noted in march that yost had received some rather unsavory endorsements from republicans in the ohio senate the most glaring was the inclusion of the infamous gang of 5 in these endorsements the gang of 5 ohio senate president bill harris john carey david goodman tom niehaus and mark wagoner was the group of five republican state senators who did ted strickland s bidding and voted to raise taxes to the tune of 900 million i prefer to pin the blame for ohio s big spending primarily on strickland but yost is right that there are those to blame in the legislature we can blame ohio house democrats we can also blame the gang of 5 they made a terrible decision for the people of this state they demonstrated profoundly poor judgment and they have done so again in endorsing dave yost who would prefer to blame courageous ohio house republicans for the state s spending rather than blaming strickland democrats in the legislature and five of the state senators who have given him their endorsements but we re not done ladies and gents we re just getting started this is not the first time that the orp kevin dewine dave yost axis has attacked ohio house republicans as matt naugle right ohio is again pointing out the ohio republican party decided to take seemingly punitive action against ohio house republicans who are supporting morgan s candidacy for auditor of state naugle broke the story that certain morgan supporters in the ohio house were not being allowed to use the ohio gop s bulk mail permit if they dared to support seth morgan republicans in the ohio house and across the state could well ask at this point why don t dave yost and kevin dewine want to take back the ohio house one final note in closing it s not just the ohio house that yost and dewine are gambling with their words and actions it s potentially the apportionment board as well the five member board comprised of the governor the secretary of state the auditor of state a member selected by the ohio house speaker and a member selected by the ohio house minority party will be responsible for redistricting following this year s census the apportionment board s role in redistricting promises to give the party controlling the board a tremendous decade long advantage think about that for a minute and think about what yost and dewine are doing by falsely pinning the blame for big spending on ohio house republicans dave yost is risking our chances of taking back the ohio house there s one apportionment board seat he is simultaneously deflecting criticism about spending away from gov strickland making john kasich s job more difficult there s another apportionment board seat throw into the equation yost s candidacy for auditor of state and the deflating impact it is having on the conservative base and presto you have a situation in which yost may lose the auditor of state s office to david pepper there s another apportionment board seat that s three and three would give the democrats control of the apportionment board dewine and yost already decided to risk the apportionment board by playing games with the auditor of state primary if they felt that was necessary maybe they should refrain from hurting republican chances for taking back the ohio house and john kasich s chances of becoming our next governor then again given the shenanigans with jon husted versus sandy o brien for secretary of state maybe kevin dewine is trying to go all out and lose four apportionment board seats to the democrats that would be quite an accomplishment for any chairman of the ohio democratic party that is april 19 2010 4 34 pm categories buckeye blogging ohio auditor of state the war home post a

next scotus nominee it has been reported recently that justice john paul stevens will likely retire from the supreme court this year paving the way for a second obama appointment this has prompted the question will republicans filibuster obama s next nominee the answer should be an emphatic no no matter how liberal the nominee may turn out to be sure it may be tempting to fight a highly publicized supreme court battle over an ultraliberal nominee during an election year but we need to think bigger picture justice stevens is the leader of the liberal faction on the supreme court replacing him with another liberal which obama will most certainly manage to do will not change the status quo just as replacing the liberal souter with the similarly liberal sotomayor did not change the status quo we cannot waste our energy on fighting a liberal replacement for the liberal stevens because it is within the realm of possibility that we will have to fight an important battle over a supreme court nominee who will change the status quo justice antonin scalia a conservative is 74 years old justice clarence thomas another conservative will turn 62 in a couple of months justice anthony kennedy who is moderate to conservative will turn 74 this summer if any of these three justices retire during obama s presidency it will give president obama the opportunity to decisively alter the supreme court s direction don t think he won t try to take that opportunity souter s retirement did not give him that opportunity because souter was basically liberal stevens impending retirement is similar scalia thomas kennedy those are the battles we have to be prepared to fight those are the battles that if lost will allow president obama to reshape the supreme court in his leftist image no matter how hard we fight we will not deter president obama and senate democrats from eventually securing a liberal appointment to replace the liberal john paul stevens on the supreme court if we knock out one liberal nominee he will just nominate another and another after that we must save our energy and the patience of the american public for the supreme court battles that will actually matter april 16 2010 8 19

senate catholic social teaching and the 10th amendment vs obamacare from the tenth amendment to the united states constitution the powers not delegated to the united states by the constitution nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved to the states respectively or to the people from the catechism of the catholic church socialization also presents dangers excessive intervention by the state can threaten personal freedom and initiative the teaching of the church has elaborated the principle of subsidiarity according to which a community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of the lower order depriving the latter of its functions but rather should support it in case of need and help to co ordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society always with a view to the common good god has not willed to reserve to himself all exercise of power he entrusts to every creature the functions it is capable of performing according to the capacities of its own nature this mode of governance ought to be followed in social life the way god acts in governing the world which bears witness to such great regard for human freedom should inspire the wisdom of those who govern human communities they should behave as ministers of divine providence the principle of subsidiarity is opposed to all forms of collectivism it sets limits for state intervention it aims at harmonizing the relationships between individuals and societies it tends toward the establishment of true international order this is an unusual topic for me to blog about i don t normally cover religious topics for a variety of reasons still as i have watched the debate over obamacare unfold i have noted with interest that the catholic bishops in the united
