Frum sounds like a drama

Frum sounds like a drama queen. He must have forgotten that Republicans did support many of the items in this bill (pre-existing conditions, 25 yr-old on insurance, etc.)

Thanks, Bobby!

I appreciate your reaching out to us here. E-mail coming tomorrow.

My contact

Bobby Duncan — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 18:50:59 -0700

An official statement will be made in the coming days, and before the vote. I would LOVE to hear from grassroots Democrats if they are so inclined to contact me. If anyone should want to contact me, I will gladly accept all emails to xbobby100x@gmail.com which is my personal email.

So, will the College Democratic rep vote "No?"

Thanks for clearing that up, Mr. Duncan. Congratulations on your new election. Can we get your e-mail address so you can hear from grassroots Democrats on this issue? And could you tell us what position you plan on taking on behalf of the College Democrats as to whether there should be an ODP endorsement this close to the primary in the Senate primary race when it's an open seat race being fielded by two successful statewide candidates? After all, that is why people have been trying to contact Ms. Groya.

To Reiterate

As my friend Bobby has stated on here, on Wednesday he will be seated on the Committee as President of College Democrats of Ohio. He has not been seated yet because the meeting on Wednesday is the first since Amy's resignation. As Bobby stated, we are all here to help elect Democrats and continue the Governors road to recovery for our state. This post does nothing to bring our party together.

AMY GROYA UPDATE!

dwhite105 — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 11:18:33 -0700

So I just had another fun Facebook exchange with Amy Groya! She updated her status to say, and I'm paraphrasing because she deleted me as a friend: Now I totally know why the mainstream media disregards the blogs because they do no factchecking and are completely unreliable! I knew this was in response to the article I did about her on Buckeye State Blog, so this was my response: "Amy, in December you told myself and many others that you were leaving to accept a paid position in the Fisher campaign. This isn't something that I'm making up, I've confirmed it with several of our mutual acquaintances. You'll also notice that my article didn't say that you were still getting paid to work for Fisher, but said that you left College Democrats of Ohio to work for Fisher. If this isn't true, then you can't blame fact-checking or research, you have to blame yourself for lying to me and so many other people. And, in regards to your Executive Committee membership, we had a heated Facebook exchange about the emails, during which your arguments were: 'Jennifer Brunner is ruining my life! These people are crazy! Jennifer has compromised my personal information!' It's only when the blogs broke the story did you start claiming that you were no longer on the Executive Committee. So, in the interest of fact-checking and research, on what date did you offer your formal resignation from the Executive Committee?" Her response? She deleted my comment and removed me as a friend. She then posted that I was crazy and should go attempt to ruin somebody else's life.

no similarity

there is no principle behind lieberman's positions save his rabid zionism. otherwise he's only a vindictive twit. you might think kucinich is a twit, but if that's the case, he's a twit with principles.

Lieberman

David Potts — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 09:33:39 -0700

Despite being in polar opposite positions, they both used their position as a needed vote to try and drag the legislation far into one side of the political spectrum.

It's the same tactic, and I stand by using that assertion at the time this post was written.

that's my hair

mvirenicus — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 07:47:04 -0700

kasich needs to start using hair conditioner or have that mop thinned more often. he and i have the same type of hair so i know what i'm talking about, except mine has thinned itself nicely and i don't much need to worry about it anymore.

i vote to oust the two party system

mvirenicus — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 07:37:49 -0700

you can call for dennis's ouster but it doesn't mean a thing, david. there will be no ouster of dennis regardless of which way he votes on this bill. and your comparison of dennis to lieberman just earned you the biggest political dork idiot of the year award in my book.

yucky space to be in

mvirenicus — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 07:26:17 -0700

i can understand a vote either way by dems, which is a bit of political evolution for me on this issue. i've now come to understand that this bill's defeat would be a catastrophic blow to the remainder of the obama administration and i'd hate for the teabaggers to get a win, but nothing changes the fact this is a very bad bill and space is correct in his statement of opposition.

what it all comes down is that the congressional dems did a really fucked-up job on health care, and obama showed no leadership whatsoever through this process. i guess the dems find themselves where they deserve to be right now, but the american people deserved so much better.

Hello BSB

Bobby Duncan — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 22:15:35 -0700

I would like to clarify a few things for everyone. It is correct that Amy is no longer president of College Democrats of Ohio, I am. The committee will vote to seat me when the meeting convenes on Wednesday. There has been nothing controversial regarding placement and Amy has not cast any votes from the CDO spot on the committee since resigning from CDO. I am not in the seat because due to the bylaws I have not been officially seated (as there has been no meeting of the state exec committee since December). That is my understanding. You ask very viable questions. As to why she is getting emails as a member of the committee would, or how the committee still deem's her membership, I can not speak for... but I do know on Wednesday everything will be as it should. I hope this clarifies. http://www.ohiodems.org/about/bylaws/ http://www.ohiocollegedems.org For any further questions that any reader has about CDO, its leaders, or what we are doing to help elect Dems, please contact me. Thank you.

As for the first point

dwhite105 — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:52:23 -0700

I'll guess we'll see if she shows up to the Exec. Committee meeting on Wednesday.

Interesting

dwhite105 — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:50:30 -0700

At the ODP Christmas Party in December, she said she was resigning to work for Fisher.

Groya Claims

David Potts — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:47:42 -0700

Amy Groya claims on Twitter that she isn't on the executive committee and doesn't work for Lee Fisher.
