Another Lefty Blog Shilling for Mary Jo Kilroy

We are beginning to wonder if Mary Jo Kilroy has some lefty blogs on payroll.  First there is the this lefty blog who shills for Mary Jo Kilroy but remains TOTALLY silent on the Huntington Ballpark fiasco.

Then you have “Ohio’s largest and most influential blog” that puts up this post today about the fundraising reports of mary Jo Kilroy and her opponent Steve Stivers, for the OH-15 Congressional District, siting this article from the Columbus Dispatch.  Now we have not looked at any reports or anything.  Hell don’t think we could figure out how to download it anyway.

Now I get shilling for your candidates as we do that here, but c’mon man.  Are we reading the same article?  Let’s look at what the story says:

“During the last three months of 2007, Republican state Sen. Steve Stivers raised nearly $50,000 more than Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy, a Franklin County commissioner, in the race for the 15 th Congressional District, reports filed yesterday show. But Kilroy’s balance eclipses Stivers’ by more than $200,000, because she entered the race months before Stivers did.”

• So, Stivers outraised Kilroy by $50,000 in the final three months.  And Stivers did not enter the race until November, so Stivers actually outraised her in 8 weeks as opposed to her 3 months.
• Kilroy has $200,000 more Cash on Hand because she has been in the race 11 months longer than Stivers
• Um, how is that “Kicking Stivers Ass’

“About 54 percent of Stivers’ haul came from political action committees, or PACs, compared with Kilroy’s 22 percent. Stivers, on the other hand, raised a larger share of his money from Ohio sources: 62 percent, compared with about 25 percent for Kilroy, according to the filings.”

• Um, it does not look like the business community/PACs are going to dry up.  It looks quite the opposite in fact
• Whoa, 75% of Kilroy’s conrtibutions came from out of state?  Well, using the lefty blog thinking does that mean that Mary Joe’s tearing it up in Ohio?  I don’t see that anywhere in the Lefty Blog post.

Anyway, we just wanted to bring this to everyone’s attention.  As a certain cable news network says, “We report, you decide.”

Left Wing Blogger Even More Wrong

On the very first post on this blog, we promised to “call-out” the lefty blogs when they are either wrong, avoiding the issue or basically full of crap.  Well, we have been doing this with a blog, which is based solely on Ohio’s 15th Congressional District, and its lame attacks on Steve Stivers, the GOP candidate for OH-15.  The whole while it evidently has turned a blind eye to the shenanigans that its hero, Mary Jo Kilroy, is doing in regards to the contracts for the Huntington Ballpark that is costing the taxpayers HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. 

We would like to reply, point by point, to the weak claims with this post from aforementioned blog.  Oh, and yes we made some spelling grammatical errors.  Wow, that one really hurt.

Claim: “This blog’s content has been attacked by some right wing GOP apologist who hates unions but loves the politics of Bob Taft, Tom Noe, and Bob Ney.”

Reply: First, Don’t hate unions, just the pay-to-play backdoor deals they have with Mary Jo Kilroy that cost the taxpayers HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. Second, good to see they are riding the dead-horse of Bob Taft (out of office over a year), Tom Noe (in jail for over a year and for many more years) and Bob Ney (in jail).  Boy, I hope the Dem/Mary Jo Kilroy playbook has more than that.  Its 2008 not 2006.

Claim: 1. Steve Stivers was a lobbyist for Bank One, and received PAC contributions from businesses; 2. The Blog’s facts have links and Columbus Dispatch is right-leaning and our claims are opinions.

Reply: 1. Steve Stivers was a lobbyist for Bank One and according to your links he has received PAC contributions from businesses in Central Ohio.  Here is where we have a ideological difference.  These businesses actually create jobs and support candidates who has a mindset that allow them to create jobs.  Last time I checked we are a capitalist system, even if Mary Jo Kilroy would like use to be communists.  Unions kill competition and they are the reasons companies take jobs overseas with there ridiculous contract demands.  Again, this is just an ideological difference between us and the left wing blogger.

2. Your links are facts and our links are opinion.  Well, we believe that it is just a matter of time until the next contract for the Huntington Ballpark screws over the low-bidder for a high-bid union shop.  If you are too blindly loyal to your hero Mary Jo Kilroy then I am sorry for the utter despair you will incur when this story blows up.  You should start looking at Paula Brooks as someone who does the right thing and uses “common sense” as your new hero. (Wrote that just to send the Mary Jo Kilroy fan into a tizzy, as the Commissioners are not on best terms right now.) 

Also, the Columbus Dispatch must be doing a good job because the lefties think it is right-leaning and we think it is left-leaning.  Funny.

Claim: “What word around town?” Questioning the upcoming contracts on the Huntington Ballparks and rumors of who will get these contracts.

Reply: Um, ok there are no rumors going around on this subject…none at all.  In fact, we think Mary Jo Kilroy should just keep doing what she is doing.  Yep, nothing to see here, please disperse.

Finally, we here at OhioRedNovember tend to favor to focus more on statewide and national politics, but we will promise to keep an eye on what transpires in this race.  What is going on with the Huntington Ballpark contracts is a travesty and we want to relay what happens to those out in the blogosphere, since the lefty blogs are obviously turning a blind eye to this issue.

Mary Jo Kilroy gets Cozy with Union Thugs: Pay to Play Dem Style

I would like to respond to the post from OH-15 blogspot here regarding Steve Stivers and his contributors in the business community. 

Riddle me this batman, what are you gonna say about the OBVIOUS payoff, dare I say “pay to play”, that occured with your hero Mary Jo Kilroy and the unions with regard to the Huntington Ballpark, and the one about to happen with the new Franklin County Courthouse? 

Business Community creates jobs.  Something this state sorely needs.

Mary Jo Kilroy creates jobs too…by taxing the hell out of the residents in Franklin County and then paying her union buddies off with contracts for the Huntington Ballpark and the new “Window Cathedral” aka the Franklin County Courthouse.
