Gov. Kasich of Ohio Just Kneecapped Himself

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...m_opinions_pop

He told the truth about the ACA.

"Ohio Governor John Kasich, who has accepted the Medicaid expansion his state, recently suffered from an outbreak of accidental candor, making these remarks about the Medicaid expansion and the prospects for repealing Obamacare:" WaPo
“That’s not gonna happen,” Kasich told The Associated Press during a recent re-election campaign swing. “The opposition to it was really either political or ideological,” the Republican governor added. “I don’t think that holds water against real flesh and blood, and real improvements in people’s lives.”

It's not going anywhere. The republicans are the biggest lying sacks of shit on the planet. They just do an awe inspiring job of hiding behind a veil of piety and feigned patriotism. They know this had to happen one way or the other, they're just pissed that the Dems took it from them. Or maybe they're not so pissed as they are happy that Obama pushed it through so they didn't have to? Now, they have him to point fingers at for the next hundred years.

His POV is well known. He accepted it with a condition - the Feds have to keep paying for it.

He's to be feared by the left IMO. I get to say it again - practice: 'President Kasich' lol.

Dave, you're saying the democrats aren't the biggest lying sacks of shit? And ONLY 100 years?

Against an exceptionally weak Democratic opponent, he thinks he can gain more than he looses by moving towards the center. He's just looking to run up the score here, of course. These is not the slightest doubt he will win reelection.

The Dems are SO BAD here, it's like the state party just closed up shop and went home.

That said this is nothing new for the Gov. He's been like this from the start. Worse news for the left perhaps is he's been winning friends in the city. It would take a very small percentage of votes there to sway the entire state.

Typical Republican....All for it so long as no one sends HIM a bill.

Dems lie no doubt. But the Republicans are much better at concealing their bullshit behind a wall of pseudo-Christian phony patriotism. To question the Holy Republican Empire is to cast aspersions upon America itself? I don't think so.

Well good for him.

I'm thinking he's looking like a Republican who cares for the little guy. What multiple term governor doesn't have presidential aspirations?
