Lonnie Bowling for State Representative

Lonnie Bowling is the one on the right

Dear fellow tax hikers, we enthusiastically endorse Democratic operative Lonnie Bowling for the Republican nomination in the 28th House District.  In his short time as a political activist, our boy Lonnie has supported numerous tax-and-spend Democratic candidates, making him the best candidate in this race.

His opponent is that awful conservative Mike Wilson.  Wilson founded the Cincinnati Tea Party and has campaigned for many limited-government initiatives.  If you love higher taxes as much as we do, then you know Wilson must be stopped.

Bowling has proven himself to support the right candidates for office.  Lonnie has either campaigned for or donated to the following liberal candidates:

1.  Hillary Clinton for President.  Lonnie cited Hillary's support for government takeover of health care, something all of us Republicans treasure!  A good sport in defeat, Lonnie said it was important for the party to be unified behind Our Messiah Barack Obama should he win the Democratic nomination.  This Democratic unity helped Obama become our President.  

2.  Mark Mallory for Mayor.  Lonnie knew that Brad Wenstrup was a terrible person who must be stopped.  If you think the streetcar is a great idea, thank Lonnie Bowling for helping keep Mallory in office.  If Wenstrup had won the race, the streetcar would have died. 

3.  Roxanne Qualls for Cincinnati City Council.  Roxanne was a high-profile supporter of the Bob Bedinghaus Stadium Tax, endorsed the Light Rail Tax, endorsed the Democratic Sales Tax hike that Hamilton County voters defeated in 2007, and as Cincinnati Mayor initiated the shift in public housing towards the suburbs so everyone can benefit from the joys of Section 8 Housing.  Lonnie looked at her record and was just as impressed with Roxy as we are. 

4.  Connie Pillich for State Representative, who would be his opponent in the November election.  Our information shows that his entry in this race is a Pillich campaign tactic designed to distract Wilson.  If Bowling wins this primary he will likely stop campaigning at that point, so as to give Pillich a free ride in November. 

5.  Not limited to tax-and-spend Democrats, the one Republican Lonnie has most recently supported is our 2011 Tax Hiker of the Year Rick Bryan!  Tax-hikin' Rick Bryan can raise taxes and build huge monuments as well or better than any Democrat. 

Do you think liberal Democrat Hillary Clinton would have made a great President?  Then support Lonnie Bowling for the Republican nomination for State Representative.

Do you believe in liberal Democrat Mark Mallory and his all-important streetcar?  Then support Lonnie Bowling for the Republican nomination for State Representative.

Do you support liberal Democrat Roxanne Qualls and her numerous efforts to raise taxes and spread subsidized housing?  Then support Lonnie Bowling. 

Do you like to see liberal tax-and-spend Republicans get elected to local government instead of conservatives?  Then support Lonnie Bowling. 

And finally, do you support liberal Democrat Connie Pillich like Lonnie has over the years?  Then vote for Lonnie Bowling for the Republican nomination for State Representative so Connie can have a free ride to re-election. 

As you can see, Lonnie Bowling is fantastic candidate who we are proud to endorse.  He is going places.  Though for now, it's important to nominate him so we can stop Mike Wilson and ensure Connie Pillich's re-election.

Under the current situation I feel we have no choice but to increase taxes in order to fullfill our obligations to the Bengals.

And please vote for this guy.

Thank you for your wonderfully-written endorsement! Many of you have recently seen me at events supporting Lonnie.

I'm supporting Lonnie because I'm a bitter hag who can't get over my own defeat 2 years ago. I refuse to move on with my life. I've lost my political friends outside Wyoming at the same rate I've lost my clients.

Campaign Expert Matheny said...

I can't get past my own string of defeats or the complete loss of clients, so while I sit over here in a half-empty office park I fantasize about how bitter others must be. Perhaps I should have looked at a map before impersonating someone who doesn't actually live in the 28th district anymore.

Lonnie is my kind of Republican! We Democrats stick together in Republican primaries.

Princess Margaret said...

I know which candidates supports the streetcar, and that's good enough for me, especially if it gets extended to Kenwood Mall and they ban smelly, inbred West Siders from it.

Let's make a wish that those people who used to live in the 28th District, but no longer do, will stay in their own worthless neck of the woods and keep out of our race!

Don't worry, the Harlows have seen Vicky's true colors for what they are. I seriously doubt any of them are defending her on this thread. That's coming from within Wyoming's borders.

Lonnie Bowling said...

Let's get back to the topic at hand here. Thank you for your support. It means a great deal to me. I am honored and humbled by your endorsement.

Mr. Paul Pillich said...

You know, "Connie" and "Lonnie" are only off by one letter. Could this be her long-lost son?

Please fellow tax hikers, keep your comments reasonably clean.

Hamilton County Dems said...

Between the Presidential primary and this race, we are having so much fun watching Republicans attack each other. Thank you, Tea Party!

Caleb F. said...

Great stuff, guys! This blog is the best thing that's ever happened for us. You're doing a great job to help our candidates, especially Connie Pillich. We love it when Republicans fight each other. We're so pleased to read that Republicans can't get over elections from 2 and 4 years ago that you have to keep re-fighting your primaries on this blog.

28th District Voter said...

Hey "Caleb", congratulations on getting one of your people to run in the Republican primary against Mike Wilson! That's a great technique to distract him, if it would work.

Too bad for you it isn't. The Wilson campaign understands who does and doesn't pose a threat, and is allocating their resources accordingly. Pillich is gone come November, regardless of your party running your supporter Lonnie Bowling in our primary.

Ashwin said...

Sorry 28th Dist voter, getting Lonnie to run was the first bit of dirty work I did as a plant down here at the GOP.

Trust me, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Lonnie Bowling said...

The support I've received from failed candidates in the 28th will help me defeat the only Republican who has won a competitive primary since 2002. The support of all of you, some more public than others, humbles me. You know who you are and I can't thank you enough.

Tax Hikin' Rick Bryan said...

You are the greatest Lonnie! I'm always proud to be by your side. Down with that Mike Wilson punk!

You know, the Greeks invented political infighting and you should also know the people inside Wyoming hate sore losers too.
