Sherrod Brown’s Big Idea: USPS as Bankrupt Coffee Shop

By: Jason Hart (Diary)  |  August 8th at 11:15 PM  | 

Cross-posted from Breitbart.com. This spring The Columbus Dispatch reported on a story playing out across the country, as the U.S. Postal Service began announcing plans for long-overdue closures and consolidation. USPS lost $3.3 billion in the last quarter of 2011 alone, but to this day Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and other leftists in Congress continue to demagogue reform. In December 2011 USPS agreed to delay restructuring until | Read More »

Sherrod Brown’s Obamacare Problem

By: Jason Hart (Diary)  |  August 7th at 12:00 AM  | 

Cross-posted from Breitbart.com. Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown has a problem: he was the deciding Senate vote for Obamacare, and Ohio voters approved a constitutional amendment to block Obamacare last November. But that’s only the beginning, considering the multitude of speeches and MSNBC appearances where Sherrod championed one of the few ideas that would’ve made Obamacare even worse. As icing on a bitter Progressive cake, read this interview | Read More »

Sherrod Brown’s Big Labor Fable

By: Jason Hart (Diary)  |  May 29th at 09:01 PM  | 

Like any politician, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has a few go-to parables he’s been repeating for years. The moral of Sherrod’s favorite story? Big Labor and Progressive activists are responsible for everything good about America, and conservatives want to drag us back to the days of horrifying individualism. From his 2006 Senate campaign to his many tirades against public union reform & Planned Parenthood cuts | Read More »

Sherrod Brown Sucks at Economics

By: Jason Hart (Diary)  |  March 14th at 09:00 AM  | 

Progressive loon Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has argued time and again that unemployment benefits are a great way to create jobs. As RedState readers know, Pelosi isn’t the only congressional Democrat to build a career coaxing the masses into Washington’s crushing embrace. Where there’s a Progressive economic fallacy, Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is never far away. Sherrod seems to think the U.S. economy performs best with | Read More »

Sherrod Brown is a Serial Tax Delinquent

By: Jason Hart (Diary)  |  March 12th at 09:00 AM  | 

News broke last month that Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) was delinquent on his property taxes due September 2011 until early February. Sherrod, who angrily demands bigger central government and higher taxes from “The Rich,” paid the nearly $900 in taxes, penalties, and interest due for his $222,000 D.C. condo only after being questioned by a reporter. Pathetic as Sherrod’s story was early in the day, | Read More »

Obama’s Ohio Attack Dogs

By: Jason Hart (Diary)  |  March 7th at 09:00 AM  | 

I’m relieved Obama for America is pushing every class warfare chip to the middle of the table. If Americans get a better look at Progressivism’s ugly mug and still vote Democrat in November, the country deserves to go bankrupt! To simplify mockery of their candidate for those of us with apolitical day jobs, Obama for America has assembled “Truth Teams” – Attack Watch in more | Read More »

Sherrod Brown and the Attack on Everything!

By: Jason Hart (Diary)  |  March 5th at 09:00 AM  | 

When Sherrod Brown (D-OH) spoke at the Ohio Education Association Representative Assembly last spring, he had a receptive audience for his class warfare routine. Since Sherrod is the most extreme leftist in the U.S. Senate and must face Ohio voters this fall, the state’s public union fight was a perfect chance to remind Big Labor he’s their man. At the same event where he told | Read More »

Sherrod Brown’s Bailout Bonanza

By: Jason Hart (Diary)  |  March 1st at 05:52 PM  | 

If you look at the votes Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) casts, the things he says, and the bills he sponsors, one thing is clear: Sherrod is a dyed-in-the-wool statist. For every domestic policy question, his answer is bigger central government. Sherrod Brown, a loud advocate for socialized medicine more sweeping than Obamacare, was nonetheless the 60th vote for Obamacare. Sherrod was a Senate champion of | Read More »

Ohio Dem Gives Occupiers Tickets to Disrupt Kasich Speech

By: Jason Hart (Diary)  |  February 8th at 09:00 AM  | 

For Ohio Governor John Kasich, Tuesday’s annual State of the State address offered an important venue to talk up his administration’s achievements and goals. Kasich gave this year’s speech at Wells Academy, a school in Steubenville, instead of the traditional Statehouse venue. The Ohio Democratic Party is led by Chris “Tea Party F***ers” Redfern, best known for a profane 2010 outburst against Obamacare opponents. Based | Read More »

Ohio Right to Work: Not This Year

By: Jason Hart (Diary)  |  February 3rd at 09:30 AM  | 

This week the Ohio Attorney General approved ballot language for a Right-to-Work amendment to the Ohio constitution. I agree with fellow Third Base Politics writer Bytor, who covered the issue a couple months ago: a Right-to-Work amendment in November 2012 is a terrible idea. The Senate Bill 5 campaign proved Ohio voters remain too receptive to union rhetoric. Trying to rehash the same arguments during | Read More »
