The Plain Dealer stands alone on Issue 3, Why Oh Why Can’t I see Why?
Just posted this comment over at BFD in response to a comment made to this post from Ohio Learn and Earn
Dear Learn and Earn:
With all due respect, what a bunch of b***sh***. Proponents of gambling have tried twice straight up to get gambling in the state of Ohio with no go. Education is a HUGE HUGE issue on the minds of Ohioans and therefore, this time the gambling wonks decided that this would be the way to get gambling into Ohio. Education has never been the issue with these people pushing gambling in Ohio. If it were, why have they been so silent on the unconstitutionality of educational funding in Ohio and pushed for reform?
You can dress up a pig, but a pig is still a pig and this CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT is about gambling, not education.
And maybe telling yourself that helps you sleep at night, but please don’t try to get us to buy the drivel.
Those words that you wrote here is why so many people find this campaign so deceitful and dishonest. You even lie to yourselves.
When will you all realize that the voters in Ohio are not as stupid as you believe we are.
Of course, when you push ads for Issue 3 that promote only education and don’t reveal the other side of the coin gambling how are voters to believe anything you say.
My only hope that voters in Ohio will act as most prudent voters do when in doubt vote no or pass.
