I emailed George Voinovich

[Tribetime]

I prayed that he can see what is right and let the public option in. He has shown to me by his emotions about paying for Iraq last year that he does have good in his heart . Maybe I'm wrong but I think he is the only hope I see at being swayed over to a public option. MUCH MORE SO THAN JOE. Someone has to do what is right for the people.

1. Couldn't hurt, might help! NT

2. I thought of him yesterday - he could surprise us.

I think I'll write him too. Good idea, neighbor. :hi:

4. I don't think he's running again

so I doubt the Repukes could put too much pressure on him.

Not a bad guy. The poster has the right idea though. We need to say "fuck Joe", and work on some moderate Republicans (the few that still are around), and get them to vote for cloture.

Couldn't you just see it? Ole' "Two-Faced-Joe" steps up to the podium and votes against cloture, but Voinovich, or some other mod-Repub votes "Yes".

Not only would it push Health Care to an "up or down" vote, it would completely destroy the last vestiges of the Repuke/Limbaughlican Party.

Then, the Senate Dems could chop Lieberman off at the knee-caps, and stick him in a broom closet somewhere.

"Hey Joe, we got a parking space for ya'...it's in fucking Fredericksburg. Enjoy the walk, cause you ain't getting a driver".

- Cut his fucking Staff
- Cut his fucking perks
- Cut his fucking Public Health Care
- Cut his "effing" nuts off!

8. exactly, he's not running again...

...he has nothing to lose. It would be a great way to bow out, too. He'd be remembered for it. :thumbsup:

[Dr Robert]

3. wouldn't that be something? He certainly doesn't owe the Repukes his allegiance.

[Connie_Corleone]

5. I was going to email him too, since he's one of my senators.

I'll email him when I get home.

[Cha]

6. Thanks, you never

know.

[Algorem]

7. slim to none

he was on radio for an hour this morning.i believe this is the second time i've heard him on this show and both times he magically avoided taking calls from listeners.

A Conversation with Senator George Voinovich

Wednesday, October 28, 2009
From county commissioner to Governor and U.S. Senator, George Voinovich has held more elected offices than anyone in Ohio. The way he puts it, he "can't keep a job." Wednesday morning at 9, join host Dan Moulthrop for a conversation with the Republican who describes himself as the "last remaining deficit hawk in the Senate." We'll hear why he just might vote for a health care overhaul, why he still hates casinos and really likes the idea of a county executive in Cuyahoga County.


Ask Sen. Voinovich:

You claim health care reform will bust the budget. But doing nothing, won’t that be an even bigger budget-buster?

I just wanted to thank you for the interview with Senator Voinovich. I thought it was fair, balanced, and informational. Thank you.

9. He will never change he has always been the golden boy

of the powers that be here in cleveland and Ohio, never exerted power when it could have done much to help and always stood where it was safest to stand.

No repect for the man, nver had any, never will...
