They're taxing everyone out of cigs and trying to prevent merchants from sending them via the USPS if you order over the web, so you can afford it :(
Vote for McCain!!
Enough is enough!! |

John Wayne McCain drives me nuts and he is running a crappy campaign, so I am not sure he will get my vote, but the Publcians in the Ohio House and Senate are on the right track along with the Crat Gov who looks like he will sign the revamp of the anti-smoking bill.
They were pretty smart, they waited a year until they had concrete evidence that the anti-smoking law was costing jobs and tax revenue, now they have a pretty strong case to amend it.
My State Rep. Taxkiller Tom Brinkman told me he thinks it has the votes to pass. |

| I pray to God you're right. The media blitz (newspaper and tv 'editorials') hasn't started yet, though. They'll of course be 98% against this. |

Yeah, I am not sure for whom I will cast a vote. John Wayne McCain is the most conservative and will do the best job of handling the Islamic threat, but boy he goes off the reservation on a ton of issues, even more than Bush does. If he gets elected then I think the Crats will enlarge their majority in 2010 and hold the Congress for years to come.
That is bad for smokers both in terms of taxes and bans.
Osama Bama is just a total left-wing looney, more so than anyone that has ever run for Prez. Since he doesn't say much about policy a lot of people have not figured that out and I am not even sure McCain is competent to flush him out on the issues.
If Osama Bama gets elected I think the Republicans take back control of the Congress in 2010 and make huge gains nationally for the next few years. If they learned their lesson from 2006, then that is good for America.
Osama is a closet smoker that will not admit he still smokes, which is not good in my book.
So what should I do on election day?
I don't know, I am leaning slightly toward voting for Osama, he will only have two years IMHO to do damage. McCain would be an unpredictable prez, that would hurt the Publcians for years to come. I have a few months to sort it out.
Suffice to say I don't like my choices this year. |

Boy Dark, you hit that nail on the head. The Enquirer ran a big idiotorial callng for the legislature to leave the smoking ban alone. The libs are crapping bricks at the thought property rights being restored to the people in Ohio. |

| Yeah, here it comes-it's only beginning, and the Repugnants are gutless and scared to death of the media. I doubt if they'll have the votes unless they hurry the hell up and vote on it. They should have just kept their damned mouths shut and pulled a cRAT tactic-had a quick stealth vote on it instead of screwing around with this. The longer they wait, the greater the media outcry is going to be. You don't often see the dems giving advance warning on anything, they just stick together and do it. Which is why they win more often than not. You said they (Republicans)were pretty SMART? Horse$hit. Remember what I said-the longer they screw around with this, and the more the media gets its act together, the more votes they're going to lose, due to fear of losing re-election("we at this newspaper won't forget you voted against the public health."). |

| Well, this made the local news today, and of course prompted the station to have a smug, obese spokesman for 'smoke-free oheilo' (athe phony 'grass roots' org funded by the ALA, ACS, and the AHA)say things must stay as they are and 'the will of the people' must not be thwarted. KEEP IT UP, YOU STUPID BA$TARDS!! Just KEEP YOUR WET FINGERS IN THE AIR to see which way the wind is blowing!!Just KEEP JAWBONING & TALKING without voting on it, and let the opposition slowly mount and get their act together, with all the media behind them and their bottomless pockets! STUPID GOD-DAM&d* MOTHER- F^CKERS!! You can see why we keep losing!! I'm so damned pi$$ed off I can't type. They don't call the republican party the stupid party for nothing, and this state has among us the stupidist. |

The stupid party is right.
The Stupid Party should bring this up for a vote in November after the election. We will see how it goes. |
