HamCo GOP's latest hire worked on Kerry campaign

Dear fellow tax hikers, we are delighted to introduce Ashwin Corattiyil as the new Political Director of our Hamilton County Republican Party.  Ashwin is a great friend of ours and we know he will do a fantastic job for our movement.  His background is pristine.

Our Ashwin spent the entire 2004 campaign season working for Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry!  Corattiyil's extensive time with the John Kerry campaign was chronicled in this article, which included the following passage that helped explain his attraction to Kerry:
He worked for John Kerry from the beginning of his presidential bid as an intern in the New York campaign office, because he thought that Kerry had the best chance of beating Bush. 

Ashwin's liberal values also influenced his decision to work for Senator Kerry.
The activist came to New York from comparably small and suburban Cincinnati, Ohio, tempted by NYU’s teaching program. He recalled growing up and being slightly more liberal than the neighborhood regulars. 
Even though you’re born and raised here, you see the outsider’s perspective. I can see a totally different viewpoint. And, I think that’s why I became more liberal.

As recently as September 2010, our Ashwin was working for the Speaker of the New York City Council, Democrat Christine Quinn

Campaigning for John Kerry, promoting liberal values, working for New York City Democrats - this is exactly the kind of person we need to help run the Hamilton County Republican Party!  Why hire a proven Republican operative to help run the Republican Party when you can hire a wonderful Democrat instead?

Selecting Ashwin Corattiyil is as great of a decision as selecting Tracy Winkler.  They have precisely the kind of qualifications that we at Republicans for Higher Taxes treasure.  These kind of decisions are moving our party in the right direction - our direction.

I don't see why one should need to be a loyal Republican to work for the Republican Party. He can be trusted.

He is so great to have on our Leadership Council. Alex, you made a great hire. I know we don't have the time we used to have to sit and cuddle at Bengals games but I am so glad you hired him and not one of those drunken Blue Chippers or smelly West Siders.

Anonymous 8:00 AM, that was the first link in our article. It was also our most important one. We strongly encourage everyone to read it so you can see that he is a fantastic liberal Democrat.

How did I let this guy slip through the cracks. Let's start a bidding war for his services! He'd be perfect for my office.

"Loyal to the democratic ideal, Corattiyil thinks that in politics the goal is simply for people to get what they want..."

Thanks a lot Alex. Jesus Christ.

The circle is complete. The Hamilton County GOP is about as useless as the balls on a brass monkey. Long live the Tea Party!

You know the Greeks have always played it both ways and then ran to others to clean up their messes and fix their mistakes.

Ashwin will have his hands full with city council, some judgeships, and some close races in Blue Ash, Reading, and Colerain Township. He got here just in time and will be a huge asset for the cause.
