amoung big cities for poverty. According to the Census Bureau Cleveland Ohio is the number one big city for poverty. So, all of these years of having democrats for mayors has really paid off for us!

I am so tired of being told repubs are so bad. If they are; then why is my city so poor; since we have had dem mayors for 15 years?

How frustrating!!!

What?! You mean all those gov't programs are not working?? Maybe if we shipped Marrion Barry over there to set things right?

Seriously, I'm sorry your city is having a hard time.

Could have something to do with your Republican governor. Word on the street is that the GOP blames all Ohio's woes on him.

Republican strategist bashes Taft during speech

Associated Press

The president of the national conservative group Americans for Tax Reform harshly criticized Ohio Gov. Bob Taft during a meeting at the Republican National Convention that he thought was private.

"We have to hold Ohio. OK?" Grover Norquist said on Sept. 1 during a speech to members of Republicans Abroad, an advocacy group for Americans overseas. "We have an idiot, stupid, corrupt, dumb, rotten, Republican governor in the state who's been busy looting the state, and raising taxes and lying to gun owners. His state is the only state in the nation that's lost jobs and isn't recovering because he's beating the economy to death in the state!"

Norquist's comments were secretly recorded. They were posted on the anti-Republican Web site, http://www.dailykos.com, and Internet blog site, http:www.mydd.com/files/admin/norquist_quote.mp3.

His statement came in response to a question about which of the battleground states poses the most problems for President Bush.

Norquist said his comments were harsher than he would have used in public, but still accurately express his views.

"We're not going to dignify that with any response," Taft spokesman, Orest Holubec, said on Saturday.
