March 6 Primary elections

As the primary election day draws near, I think that we all realize that only a single endorsed candidate from each party will be running for most local and state offices.  However, The Butler County Republican Party Central Committee (the organization that selects the “endorsed candidates” for county offices) was not able to reach the 60% majority required to “endorse” a candidate for one county office this year, which means that there will be an actual Republican primary election to determine who will be the Republican candidate this November.  That office is “Clerk of Courts”.

I mention this for two reasons:

First, to urge everyone to vote in the Primaries next week on Tuesday, March sixth.

Second, to urge everyone who is so inclined, to ask for a Republican ballot and to vote for Jeff Wyrick to be the Republican candidate in November for Clerk of Courts.

Vet,

While I don’t disagree, I would estimate that there is a 95% probability that the Republican nominee for Butler County Clerk of Courts will be the winner in November (as with most Butler County offices).  For that reason, it behooves us to try to nominate the very best candidate.

For Clerk of Courts, I believe that the best candidate is Jeff Wyrick.  You can visit his website to see his rebuttal to some of his opponent’s claims here:  http://jeffwyrick.org/

I would encourage all to vote for Mitt Romney for the GOP President nominee. I have known Mitt for many years when he was at Boston Consulting Group, then Bain. Unlike the ads you may have read from Newt Gingrich's SuperPac, Mitt was a VP at age 30, unheard of in the ,management consulting industry. While in his 30's, Bain introduced a model that was quite unique, that is, to take best practice consulting models and concepts and incorporate them in a partnership with companies having trouble in the market (facing bankruptcy), or a start-up, such as Staples. Bain was not a corporate raider, but a consulting firm that implemented its concepts it used for Fortune 500 companies to its shared risk business model for turn-arounds and start-ups.

In the Olympics, which was facing financial ruin, within two years he turned it around. As Gov of the most liberal state in the nation, Massachusetts, he cut taxes nineteen times, and left a surplus of $2 Bb in 4 years, without a tax increase.

Mitt was chosen to head Bain Capital, which was the new spin-off company of Bain Company, and under his leadership, it was highly successful. In my opinion, the government, albeit local, state, or federal, should be run as a business. It should operate with best practices, metrics, and guidelines. Evaluate Middletown as a city that is run in an alternative manner, where petty crony politics engulf its daily activities and strategic direction. The U.S. is now $15 Tt in debt, and heading towards a Greece bail-out. Under Obama, gasoline has doubled. Gas impacts all aspects of consumption, from food, heating/ cooling, tires, petro products, and thousands of other ancillary items. It takes a bottom-line guy to turn a bottom line problem into a solution. Mitt is a no nonsense, fact based leader, period.

Mitt Romney has 30 years of experience in turn-arounds. He is the only candidate that actually has leadership, turn-around, profit, budget, and best practice experience. He also is the only candidate that can beat Barack Obama in the fall. If Obama is re-elected, in 4 years, the national debt will top $20 Tt, and we will be on the verge of global collapse.

There is only one leader running in the GOP Presidential race, and that is Mitt Romney. I hope you will vote for him, as the country's future depends not on electing career politicians whom got beat by 20 pts in their last election, or another that resigned under the cloud of ethic violations, but the single individual whom is symbolic of fiscal sanity, small government, and protection of fundamental liberties. Rome is burning, and a fire truck must be dispatched immediately to avoid the house from being completely destroyed. Mitt is the man whom knows how to maneuver the truck to get to the house, to operate the hose, to put out the raging fire. All others could not answer the call into the fire station for the initial dispatch for help.



I must add, there are many negative aspects I remind the voter regarding Rick Santorum. He is a big government spender. He epitomizes the type of candidate the tea party movement replaced in previous elections, as did Mike Dewine, current Ohio AG. Besides the well chronicled programs Rick voted for, including No Child Left Behind, which he now "regrets", the most distressing fact for many in his home state of Pennsylvania is this: In his last year in office he was in Pennsylvania only three weeks of the year. He bought a $85,000 house next to his wife's, but did not live there. His family lived in northern Virginia. He and his wife stuck his county with the use of an online computer system for state residents, for $65,000., which the Pa DOE paid, because Rick Santorum and his family, were NON RESIDENTS in the state he represented for Senate. He lost his re-election by nearly 20 pts, on his extreme social ideas, RINO voting record, and while being a non-resident.

_______________________

As for the Clerk of Court, I recall there is a Judge tied to the current Clerk in some capacity, friend, spouse, relative, etc. I'd simply vote for the other. Mr. Wyrick seems to have a good background in technology and criminal justice,but CourtView is Courtview, and updating the docket is updating the docket, so I need to examine why Ms. Swain should be supplanted---I admit, I like the idea she returned $1 Mm instead of housing a $ I Mm rainy day fund.  

Sure, here goes:

First let me begin: NEITHER RICK SANTORUM< RON PAUL< OR NEWT GINGRICH WOULD EVER WIN GENERAL ELECTION!!!

To your 7 pts:

1) RomneyCare was fashioned to cover the 7% in Massachusetts that DID NOT have healthcare. It is highly received within the state, costs less than the system did for the uninsured flooding the hospitals for a head cold, and was based solely upon state rights. The Commerce Clause does not operate under the Constitution for states, only federal GUIDELINES. Mitt Romney WILL APPEAL ObamaCare, which is far over-reaching. The state accepted and has found RomneyCare to be a success for Massachusetts.

2) Taxes- Like all states, Massachusetts had a constitutional mandate to balance budget. Romney did that every year, WITHOUT RAISING TAXES, the same as Gov Kasich did in Ohio.

3) Financial Bailout- Did you prefer the entire global financial system collapsing? He was opposed to auto bailout, and supported/supports any and all bankruptcy restructuring. And your alternative would be Paul, Gingrich, or Santorum, two of which are gig government spenders, and Paul has not sponsored a legislative initiative since he was elected in Congress 30 + years ago.

4) Global Warming- Mitt Romney is not opposed to using coal, gas, or any alternative means of energy. All are on the table. He did not sit on a couch with Nancy Pelosi. And does anyone actually know if GLOBAL WARMING is true or not? No, its disputed with phD's and predictive modeling which are far smarter than you and I, so the jury is still out. BUT, and there is always a BUT, Mitt will burn coal, drill, open up fed resources, use wind, solar, whatever it takes, to REDUCE energy costs.

5.  2nd Amendment- NRA has no problem with Mitt. Not planning on banning guns. Does everyone need an AK 47 assault rifle or an arsenal anyway? Not in my book. Gun sales and bullets will be protected by Mitt Romney, non issue no. 5. So you want to own an F14 for your personal defense? If not, just guns, Mitt says, "Irresponsible people and criminals kill, guns don't."

6. Abortion- He vetoed the Legislation in Massachusetts regarding abortion and coverage of costs in RomneyCare. Pretty brave for one man to do this over a state 85% Democratically controlled body, agreed?

7) Regulation- Your pts advocate NO REGULATION. So, we have planes that crash, and banks that fail, like the housing collapse in 2008? Mitt is a moderate regulation individual, find the right regulations and then deploy them. Why did Canada escape the housing collapse? Regulations.

Now, your choice is Ron Paul, who will allow Iran to destroy us, Rick Santorum, the overzealous catholic (I am catholic) and I prefer the Pope and Vatican over Santorum's reign in the bedroom ideas, and Newt Gingrich, that wants to fly to the moon for $200 Bb with a space colony while singing DRILL BABY DRILL.

Thanks for voting for Mitt, your 7 pts were rebutted.

As Clinton said in the 1990's, "Its the economy stupid." If you want contraceptives banned, Santorum is your guy. If you want glittering generalities which aren't executable and quite expensive, Newt Gingrich is your guy. If you want middle east terrorist countries to invade and destroy Israel, Ron Paul is your guy. If you want China owning the US, and unemployemnt to exceed 10% through 2016, Barack Oabama is your guy.

If you want tempered leadership, sound fiscal responsibility, freedom, strong defense, tempered immigration enforcement, and a leader who has actually run a $ Bb payroll, company, and a state budget, Mitt Romney is your nominee and President.   



,    

Vet, then lets deploy the KISS (keep it simple principle):

Do you prefer capitalism over socialism; I prefer capitalism.

Do you prefer we go bankrupt or reign in our debt? I prefer fiscal soundness.

Do you prefer $8.00/gal gas while you drive to WPAFB or $2.50/gal? I prefer $2.50.

Do you prefer a country not hit by a nuclear bomb given to LAMEA terrorists coming in as a dirty bomb, or a non attack? I prefer the latter.

A simple choice. A clear vision. Mitt Romney.

acclaro wrote: Fair enough questions Vet.Try again:1) Romney strongest on border control and illegal immigration. The Dream Act need not apply under Mitt, unlike Obama. I thought you left Az because of lowered wages from immigration of Latinos's?2) Iran- crippling sanctions, and direct hit if required. No nuke under Mitt's stewardship.3) Gas. Mitt's policy is clear; disallow the Chinese manipulation of their currency driving our $ downward in a spiral, and setting high export taxes on crude we export to foreign powers. The US has a huge crude surplus presently, that is being exported to Europe today. Mild winter translates to overcapacity in oil reserves, but export tariff tax will penalize Exxon, Chevron, Shell, etc, from exporting to highest bidder. Keeping crude barrels in US drives gas prices down, raising currency provides greater buying power of crude imported. Thirdly, Mitt is for fracking, and opening all federal land for drilling. Offshore ocean exploration and drilling will be lifted. And, nuclear power plants will be built, and additional REFINERIES. Obama's Plan? Everyone drop $40,000 for a Toyota Prius or a Chevy Volt, which gives 100 miles on a charge.      ,

I like the idea that Romney is strong at the border. You are correct. We did leave Tucson due to the poor job selections, low wages and no benefits scenario. Agree with his stance on illegals. Don't want 'em here either.

Sanctions for Iran? Ok, might work but will it bring them to their knees and shut them down on the rhetoric and the Gulf of Hormuz (sp?) blockade talk? Dunno. I've about had it with the Syrians, Iraquis, Iranians and the Afghans (on the book burning incident). To hell with the Afghans. If this is the way we're treated after driving the Taliban out (at least until we leave for good, then they'll be back), I say pull all US people/troops out and low level nuke 'em. Exteme, perhaps. Send a message- you betcha. Not gonna take anymore of the world's crap anymore.

Don't know how Romney will accomplish the Chinese manipulation of currency thing. If we have a surplus in gas, why do we have gouging going on at the pump? Isn't it common knowledge that if supplies are plentiful, prices favor the consumer? Apparently, not in this case. The oil companies just keep socking it to "we, the people" and no one is there to speak for us......ever. Tax the oil companies? Hell, they'll just pass it on to us. Nowhere to go in a monopoly driven industry.

Hey Vet...

Agreed on both points Bo, and well stated. Please vote Tuesday, or before. Santorum will not win nomination, he's slipping as he has had his day in the sun. The debate is catching up with him.

Observer,

That doesn’t change the fact that Mr. Wyrick held the office of interim Clerk for only a few weeks, while Ms. Swaim was Clerk (and sat on the money) for nearly a year before she turned the money over at a politically opportune time.
