Funding an Ohio River Bridge

Steve Chabot's government shutdown lost $24B and stunted our anemic economic growth about 25%. We could have built 8 bridges over the Ohio River for that. Steve Chabot would rather watch his district and his country go the way of his fish tank.

"I'm still waiting for our career politician to live up to his campaign slogan that he had printed on his 2011 yard signs: Jobs Jobs Jobs."

Steve Chabot's Immoral Allies

Steve Chabot, famous for bedeviling small businessmen with dysfunctional government, has picked quite an ally in his latest attack on economic development - Rep. Mark Sanford R-SC.
Sanford is the guy who told his staff, during a contentious governorship, he was off to hike his 'beloved' Appalachian Trail but instead flew off to Argentina to shack up with his mistress.
Of course both voted for DOMA. What can be said for Chabot's choice of allies? His judgement is abysmal.

Steve Chabot Supports CISPA

It should be no surprise the big business / big government Steve Chabot supported CISPA & trampled citizens' rights along the way. He did it before with SOPA. Brad Wenstrup, a newbie, blank slate representing Ohio's 2nd district also supported the bill that would introduce warrantless searches into your various online accounts and permit businesses & employers to snoop your files, too.
Another day, another power grab and more centralized government.

Steve Chabot - Not a Cincinnatian, Not an American

As Steve Chabot (R Westwood) is presumably supposed to represent his district in America, it's troubling to see his focus is more on preserving The Republican Party.
His 3/20/13 ramble is titled, "Can The Republican Party Be Saved?". He whines about losing 2 seats in the district-less Senate & losing 8 seats in the House (composed of gerrymandered districts) where Republicans should have had an advantage. He mentions "hanging on" to his seat in a district virtually impossible for him to lose. It's like the guy is talking about sports.
Then he cites a study done at the behest of GOP poobahs. It stated people who had abandoned the party described it as, "scary, narrow-minded, out-of-touch and the party of stuffy old men. The party needs to catch up with the times, it's too ideologically rigid and indifferent to the struggles of average people", etc.
He doesn't mention classist, superstisious, war-mongering & plain crazy.
When it comes to suggestions from the report - fewer debates during the primary. Obviously the less the GOP opens it's collective pie hole, the less embarrassment.
What recommendations Chabot didn't like? Mainly reality based stuff like, "comprehensive immigration reform and inclusive and welcoming on social issues". The latter is totally unacceptable to the religionist Chabot who MUST ram his religion down every American' throat. Never mind the anti abortion crusade has been a lost cause for 40 years now. Chabot does agree that the GOP should get better at social media.
But he still doesn't take comments or questions on his "blog". I guess he will want to tweet more…..
Chabot sums up his article with "And, in my opinion, yes, the Republican Party CAN be saved".
Great, Steve, but how about America, Ohio & Cincinnati (yes, even Westwood)?
