Steve Chabot - crickets

When the paper of record for Steve Chabot's district asked him about his views on the issues facing the voters of the Ohio 1st Congressional District - he had nothing to say. He couldn't be bothered. He didn't care.
Steve Chabot's sense of entitlement knows no bounds.

Kundrata promotes bi-partisanship

Fred Kundrata promotes bi-partisanship plan to spur job growth & grow the economy while citing the partisan divide that is killing America.

Based on the nonpartisan National Journal's annual vote ratings, only four out of 535 members of the House and Senate are considered in the ideological middle. The "ideological middle" in this case is defined as falling between the most conservative Democrat and the most liberal Republican. By contrast, in 1982, 344 members of Congress, or 79 percent, fell in the ideological middle.

Obviously Steve Chabot's right wing partisan zeal is not serving our district nor our nation.

Fred Kundrata Promotes Military Role in Fighting Ebola

While Steve Chabot daydreams about new wars, Fred Kundrata sees a humanitarian role for the military to play in thwarting ebola.

The military response to this crisis does not require American service members physically treating patients. Rather, military personnel are necessary because they are the only rapid-response force capable of building the medical facilities that doctors need to contain the virus and keep us safe here at home.

The Obsession of Steve Chabot

The most important thing in America today, by reading the Steve Chabot blog, is how awful Hillary Clinton is. All he seems to do nowadays is whine about the woman & blame her for the problems he & his fellow travelers have created.

An introduction from Fred Kundrata

Down With Tyranny hosts an introduction from Fred Kundrata here

When I look at the roads and bridges of Cincinnati, I see opportunities for those everyday Ohioans. Opportunity to bring fair-wage jobs to the city, to attract commerce to invest here, and the chance to clear up the congested traffic and polluted air.
I’m not interested in the partisan rhetoric and biased sound bites that surround Steve Chabot while he neglects our infrastructure. That is why I’m laying out a clear plan to cut through the red tape and partisan extremism, and reaching out to Ohioans to hear their ideas on how to rebuild our infrastructure and expand the opportunities of the Queen City.

Steve Chabot Offers Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt

In a rambling editorial, Steve Chabot tilts at cooperative Democrats, proposes more big government & completely ignores his role in a floundering jobs market.
Screwing around with the ACA leaves employers wondering what the true costs of hiring new people will be so they take a wait and see approach rather than hire people they might have to wind up laying off.
Government shutdowns, sequestrations, foreign saber rattling…
All of this bad governance makes people jittery about investing in the country and, so many people, without employment, can't be big consumers.
It's kind of an ouroboros sort of thing and Chabot's doing nothing to stop it. Maybe his combover has become an ouroboros sort of thing, choking off his brain.

Chabot Votes to Crush Individual and States' Rights

Ever the big central government type, Steve Chabot (Brad Wenstrup) voted against a bill that would defund the DEA from persecuting marijuana dealers & users in states that had legalized marijuana.

Chabot Wins Primary

Uncontested, Steve Chabot won his Republican primary with 6.27% of the registered voters & 15% of those ballots not selecting him.
Kundrata received an even smaller percentage of votes in the Democratic primary but beat Prues 6-4.
Chabot received about 17,000 votes while Kundrata & Prues combined brought in only 10,000 votes, about 4% of the registered voters. Kundrata alone received less than 6,000.
What can we take from this? Nobody gives a shit. Apathy appears to be Chabots best weapon.

Fred Kundrata explains his party switch

In 2012, Fred Kundrata ran for the Republican nomination for the Ohio 2nd district seat and lost to Brad Wenstrup, a guy with similar background but who appealed more to the extreme right wing of the GOP.

Kundrata said that it was during that race that he decided he was, in fact, a Democrat.
"I always knew I was a moderate,'' Kundrata said. "I thought the Republican Party was far more moderate."
But, he said, he learned differently when he saw the influence of the tea party movement on the GOP and couldn't go along with that.
"I’m a Democrat now,'' Kundrata said. "I fully support the unions. I want to strengthen unions. I'm a union pilot."

Steve Chabot Swings - Misses

Steve Chabot recently misread his tea leaves as he gushed over a John Kasich presidency. He discussed Kasich's ability to defeat Hillary Clinton who probably won't even run for the office. Meanwhile, Kasich has stated he isn't interested in the office.
So, if Chabot can't read a fellow Republican from his home state, how good a job can this guy do reading the political landscape a half a world away?

Chabot Lumps Poor With Criminals

In a letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Steve Chabot offers his support for a city councliman's idea to lump poor single mothers work with convicted criminals at hard labor in the streets.
