    A political ad that should be backfiring

    What the ad fails to point out is that all these countries might be considered socialist states by U.S. standards. All have some form of public health care, etc., and even Singapore, the most conservative, has free health care for the poor. Instead of making the point that liberalism is the death of economic competitiveness, the ad actually does just the opposite.

    Reasons to support Sen. Sherrod Brown
    Sherrod Brown has a better grasp of what drives Ohio's economy, evidenced by his understanding of the ramifications of letting the auto industry go bankrupt. Auto-related jobs in Ohio have increased by 6.1 percent, or 11,100 jobs, since 2009 because of Sherrod Brown's actions, and he's led the fight against China's illegal currency manipulation, which is costing Ohio jobs.

    Would JFK or FDR recognize today's party?
    Today’s Democrat Party is even less the party of old than the one that existed when I was a kid. It has become something most JFK and Roosevelt Democrats would not recognize.

    Remember 2009 when gas was less than $2 a gallon?
    I can give two examples of the vast difference between these two candidates. A vote for Romney would mean a big decrease in gas and electric costs, while a vote for Obama would mean a continued rise in the cost of gas and electricity.

    Many like socialism more than they will admit

    The funny thing is, when you put the labels aside and start drilling down on the individual issues, most people are a lot more agreeable to socialism than they want to admit.

    Commissioner's 'misstatement' on public property warrants scrutiny

    During the forum, Mr. Horst alluded to a policy which "bans the use of grills, tables, and tents on the courthouse lawn." However, when questioned in the most recent commissioners' meeting, it was revealed that no such policy exists – at least not in written form – nor has any such policy been voted upon by the commissioners.

    Many deserve credit for uptown beautification
    I see where Tom and I were nominated as Citizens of the Week by Ellen Pennington for taking care of the uptown flowers. We sincerely appreciate the nomination, but we are just a small part of the beautification of the uptown. Tom and I are just the helpers.
