Voinovich and the Ohio Republicans are in large part the reason Ohio has been in a depression for well over 10 years, and this due to the stupidity of government intervention.
From Jim Rhodes to Ted Strickland, with George Voinovich in between and with both parties, have expanded the state government, over taxed the residents and business making Ohio a world class dump. We have no industry, no small business, and our agriculture is going down the toilet. All because of these big government socialists. And yes, Voinovich is a socialist you stupid REPUBLICANS!
#1: I'm not sure he is a socailist, but he is quite the statist.
