Benen: Worst. Memorial Day Message. Ever. (DeWine politicizes Memorial Day)

[UrbScotty]

From Steve Benen:

Reader R.P. forwarded me a Memorial Day message sent out by Kevin DeWine, the chairman of the Ohio Republican Party. It starts off with a sentiment that’s easy to agree with.

“As we gather with family to enjoy Memorial Day weekend at ball games and barbeques, let us not forget the generations of Americans who have fought to preserve our rights and liberties here at home. Their sacrifices are woven into the fabric of America and will forever define us as a nation.”

So far, so good. But DeWine couldn’t leave well enough alone.

“Here in Ohio, we must continue to defend liberty in a very different kind of struggle. Ohioans have the opportunity to preserve their rights when it comes to choosing their own health care. Democracy affords us the choice of accepting or fighting back to prevent against a $1 trillion government takeover of our nation’s health care system.

2. Here in Ohio, THIS is why Ohio Republicans are going to...

excuse my crassness...take it up the butt for the next elections.
Mean, nasty and totally in denial that the Ohioans I know and work with are struggling BECAUSE of the Republican PUNKS running the state and any political soul it has into the ground.

I cannot STAND these souless creeps.

3. I'm all for cornholing 'Licans . . .

Especially when they discover they're not covered for anal tears under the "lifestyle injuries" clause in their insurance.

4. Ahem, with a dry stick, hopefully.
