Leslie Ghiz assists abortionist

Dear fellow tax hikers, our long-time friend Judge Leslie Ghiz has struck a blow for the pro-abortion movement.  The legendary abortionist Dr. Martin Haskell needed some judicial support for his business, and he found it in Judge Ghiz.

Read the following release from Cincinnati Right to Life for the bloody details:

Sign Variance Granted Sharonville Abortionist
Zoning Board of Appeals' Denial Overturned    

June 19, 2014 (Cincinnati, OH):  August of last year Sharonville, Ohio's Zoning Board of Appeals denied a variance to abortionist Martin Haskell to erect a new 8 foot sign advertising his Women's Med Center abortion business.  

The abortion business sign would replace one that had been blown down, but closer to Lebanon Rd., thus requiring a variance for that location. See FOX News story.

Martin Haskell appealed the Zoning Board's denial to the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas, where the case was heard before Magistrate Michael Bachman.  

It has been learned that Judge Leslie Ghiz confirmed the decision of Magistrate Bachman to grant a variance, overruling the Zoning Board's denial and granting permission for the sign.

We always knew Leslie was one of the good ones.

Just last week we wrote about the honorable Dr. Haskell.  Haskell proudly wrote David Pepper a large check for his campaign, knowing they are of like mind when it comes to killing babies.  Judge Ghiz's ruling is part of this relationship.  As they say, in politics it's about who you know.  Follow the dots:

- Leslie Ghiz endorsed Democrat David A. Pepper for County Commissioner

- Dr. Martin Haskell writes a large campaign check to Ghiz's good friend Pepper

- Judge Ghiz makes a favorable ruling for Haskell

This is how politics works.  Friends help friends.  And David Pepper, Leslie Ghiz, and abortionist Martin Haskell are three of the closest friends you'll find. 

Leslie Ghiz and Heather Russell for Judge

Dear fellow tax hikers, tonight we direct your attention to a unique race on this year's ballot - Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge.  This is a field race to elect two Judges.  You get two votes.  The top two finishers both get elected and there are four beautiful women running for these two spots.  If only me and my civil domestic partner liked women we would get to enjoy this race even more than we do now. 

We are proud to endorse our good friends Leslie Ghiz and Heather Russell.  These lovely ladies understand the value of higher taxes and bigger government. 

Leslie Ghiz is one of our longest and best friends.  You can search through our archives to see all of our glowing articles about her.  Leslie proudly endorsed liberal Democrat David Pepper for County Commissioner.  She strongly backed the huge Pepper/Portune/Leis $777 million Sales Tax increase in 2007 that sadly did not pass.  As a City Councilman, Leslie cast a pivotal vote to start the Cincinnati streetcar project.  Our Ghizzy also voted to expand gay rights, which she did while criticizing those damn conservatives who held a different opinion.  As you can see, Leslie has been one of our strongest tax-and-spend allies.

We also know Heather Russell to be a woman of big government herself.  In 2007 when we worked day and night to pass that $777 Sales Tax increase, Heather was supportive of our efforts.  As a sitting Judge she could not endorse it, but we fondly remember all the times she showed up to local Republican clubs nodding like a Bobblehead doll at every argument being made by one of our pro-tax speakers, and backing all of our strong pro-tax arguments.  We remain angry to this day that the voters rejected our position and killed that important tax increase.

We feel good endorsing Ghiz and Russell.  These are the kind of Republicans who best represent our party.  With four beautiful women running for these two positions, we can't ask for anything more than a chance to elect two of our GOP allies.  Leslie Ghiz and Heather Russell for Judge!

Leslie Ghiz's inaccurate website

Dear fellow tax hikers, earlier today The Daily Bellwether Blog discovered that our favorite judicial candidate Leslie Ghiz was posting inaccurate information on her website.   Leslie claimed she is "currently serving her third term" on Cincinnati City Council, when in reality she was defeated in November's election and is currently out of office.  Thankfully, Ghizzy's crack campaign staff corrected this error in the evening.

Otherwise, Ghiz's critics would have used this to accuse her of dishonesty or lack of attention to detail.  We would not want anyone to think that our candidate for judge lacked honesty or attention to detail.

Ghiz has had enough problems to deal with.  She lost her last two races, in spite of our strong endorsement in both. 

We call on Ghiz's critics to lay off.  Just because Leslie Ghiz was defeated in her last two elections, allows criminal behavior at home, and was caught posting false information on her website, doesn't mean she would make a bad Judge.  These things happen.  We still love our Ghiz.   She will bring law and order to every corner of Hamilton County.....except her own house and car.

Leslie Ghiz defeated

Dear fellow tax hikers, this was not the night we expected.  While some things went well tonight, the news that our great friend Leslie Ghiz was defeated for re-election to Cincinnati City Council has left us in an inconsolable state.  Right now we are in downtown Cincinnati crying our eyes out trying to comfort each other after this shocking defeat - possibly our worst loss since the last time Ghiz lost an election. 

This is completely unfair!  Leslie Ghiz was entitled to run a non-existent, mail-it-in campaign and still get re-elected.  We were proud to endorse Ghiz for all she did to support David Pepper and grow the size of government.  

We tax hikers must find a way to go on.  We want you to remember all the great things about our Ghizzy.  That should take a few seconds.

Please post your favorite memories of Leslie Ghiz in the comments section.  Through sharing, we can begin to heal after this tragic loss.

Vote the Big Government Ballot on Tuesday!

Dear fellow tax hikers, Election Day is almost here and we can't wait to vote for higher taxes, bigger government, and for candidates who share our beliefs.  We are going to recap the endorsements we have already made, plus add a few more.

Top Priority - Re-elect Tax Hikin' Rick Bryan for Blue Ash City Council.  Rick is our 2011 Tax Hiker of the Year and his loss would be a huge setback for our pro-tax movement. 

Green Township Trustee - Vote against Jeffry Smith.  Green Township cannot afford a Trustee who will oppose nepotism and look out for the taxpayers.

Cincinnati City Council - Re-elect Leslie Ghiz, who in her career has endorsed a huge Sales Tax increase, voted to build the Streetcar, subsidized The Freedom Center, and endorsed Democrat David Pepper for County Commissioner to help the Democrats take over Hamilton County.  We also give our endorsement to deadbeat Jason Riveiro, tax-hiking goddess Roxanne Qualls, tax-hiking gay activist Chris Seelbach, and the streetcar-obsessed Laure Quinlivan. 

Wyoming City Council - We implore you to support MS. Vicky Zwissler in spite of her past electoral failures.  We also lend our support to ethically-challenged Democrat Jim O'Reilly, who was sanctioned by the Ohio Supreme Court for violating Judicial Canon 7(E)(1), and Barry Porter who loves higher taxes and gun control as much as he loves Twinkies and chocolate ice cream.  All three of these fantastic tax increasers voted to raise Wyoming's Income Tax by 60%. 

Sycamore School Board - You must vote against fiscal conservative Colleen Greissinger.  There is no room on this 5-person board for one single person who is fiscally conservative and opposes higher taxes.

Northwest School Board - We need you to vote against fiscal conservative Dan Unger.  Dan has said no to higher taxes and is trying to control spending.  Both of these ideas are unacceptable, as we need higher taxes and out-of-control spending. 

Colerain Fiscal Officer - It's urgent to vote against Heather Harlow.  Not only is she a fiscal conservative who dared to oppose Hamilton County Sales Tax increase in 2007, she is also a woman who supports our 2nd Amendment rights.  She needs to learn her role.

Sharonville Mayor - We are 100% behind Virgil Lovitt, our 2008 Tax Hiker of the Year.  He has so many more taxes to raise. 

Issue 2 - Vote NO!  We want union deciding how to spend your tax dollars, not our elected officials.  Voting down Issue 2 makes it more likely we'll need higher taxes in the near future!

Issue 3 - Vote NO!  We fully support Obamacare.  This issue opposes Obamacare and prohibits Ohio from enacting it's own Obama-style health care.

Issue 32 - This is a huge property tax increase so we fully support it.  

Issue 37 - This is a tax issue, therefore vote yes.

Issue 38 - This is a tax issue, therefore vote yes.

Issue 47 - Vote NO!  This amendment would ban a Trash Tax.  We want to tax your trash. 

Issue 48 - Vote NO!  This amendment would ban our beloved streetcar.

Re-elect Leslie Ghiz to City Council

Dear fellow tax hikers, we are writing to correct a grave injustice.  The Cincinnati Enquirer published a Sunday editorial calling on the voters to defeat Leslie Ghiz as she seeks re-election to Cincinnati City Council.  This mean editorial called her a "distraction", accused her of "throwing bombs" that are often "personal, petty, and nasty", and said she affects Council in negative ways. 

All that and more are the things we love most about our Ghizzy.  If you think Leslie Ghiz is personal, petty, and nasty on Council, wait until you get to know her in real life.  She curses like a drunken sailor, and many say she drinks like one too.  Those are the characteristics of one classy woman.

These personal attributes are great, but they aren't the #1 reason we have always supported Ghizzy.  She believes in the things we believe.  Ghizzy supported the proposed 15 year, $777 million Sales Tax increase for Hamilton County.  Ghiz voted to build the popular Cincinnati streetcar.  Ghiz voted to give taxpayer money to John Pepper's Freedom Center.  And speaking of Pepper, Ghiz publicly endorsed Democrat David Pepper for County Commissioner, assisting him in his legendary victory which turned our county over to the Democrats. 

Raising taxes, building streetcars, endorsing Democrats, behaving in a personal, petty, and nasty manner - these reasons and more are why we proudly endorse Leslie Ghiz for Cincinnati City Council.  Even though she is term-limited and will immediately start running for Judge as soon as the election is over, she is entitled to be re-elected to Council.  Ghizzy is one of us.  We support her 100%.

Oppose Heather Harlow for Fiscal Officer

Dear fellow tax hikers, we urgently must come together to oppose the re-election of our enemy Heather Harlow for Colerain Township Fiscal Officer.  Harlow's crimes against our tax-and-spend movement are long and severe. 

1.  Was one of only seven elected officials in Hamilton County who opposed the massive 15 year, $777 million Sales Tax increase in 2007.  Everyone was under orders from the political parties and our beloved Sheriff Simon Leis to support this.  Harlow refused to endorse this needed countywide tax increase, and her fellow citizens of Colerain voted it down in record numbers.  We will not tolerate it when an elected official represents their constituents instead of obeying party leaders.

2.  Co-chaired Chris Monzel's campaign for Commissioner instead of supporting our endorsed candidate Leslie Ghiz.  Ghiz deserved that nomination.  Ghiz supported that Sales Tax hike, she endorsed Democrat David Pepper for Commissioner and Mayor, and she voted to start the $200 million streetcar project.

3.  Helped lead the conspiracy against Leslie Ghiz by the Blue Chip Young Republicans, an organization she once lead.  Harlow is one of the people who we blame for that club's unanimous support of Monzel over Ghiz.  

4.  We are also angry that she, as a woman, has been openly supportive of protecting gun rights for law-abiding citizens.  It is not a woman's place to support the 2nd Amendment.  Her job is to support higher taxes on command, and she has failed miserably at that simple task. 

We must unite to stop Heather Harlow!  Her support for limited government, holding the line on taxes, and protecting constitutional rights is completely unacceptable.  Our movement has to stop young, conservative, Republican women before they get too far.  We endorse her male opponent because we need to stop this conservative woman now.  Tax us more!
