Ohio Unions Out-Spend, Out-Spin to Beat Back Reform....

I just don't get the laziness of Voters. That they allow 30 second sound bites to frame an entire issue...hell, their entire future and that of their Grand kids!
Last night's debate a classic example. 30 second can make or break an entire career? Please.
The right to vote is so very scared. Paid for with so much blood. Blood that was spilled by the finest among us.
Yet we treat it as an afterthought...if even that. We allow ourselves to be puppets, manipulated. Made to look foolish.

Though the Wisconsin union circus produced widespread union-reform fatigue, you might be wondering what went wrong with Issue 2 in Ohio. As an Ohio conservative who happened to start researching government unions a few months before the General Assembly tackled reform, here’s my educated guess!

Executive summary: The unions spent several boatloads on dishonest class warfare, and Ohio voters failed to see through it.
