His reelection is a foregone conclusion (stupid voters, weak opponent), but that doesn't stop the Wonder Guv John Kasich from airing some Grade A bullshit.
The above is just a 30-second spot. The last 14 seconds are utterly meaningless drivel, but John Boy packs some fantastic spin crapola into the first 16:
"There's a certain magic that comes from teamwork." (Magic? Well, abra-friggin'-cadabra! You've certainly cast a spell on some folks, Guv.)
"We've managed our budget." (Yes, and you did it auto-magically. With one end of the pencil, you magically erased lots of workers and programs and departments and expenditures, and with the other end, you magically added lots of best-case, fingers-crossed revenues, and -- voila! -- no budget deficit!)
"We've reduced taxes." (Yes and no. More no. Your modest income tax cut is most helpful to the highest incomes. Your sales tax increase impacts many more people at the lower income levels.)
"We're up almost 250,000 jobs . . . " (Almost all of which are fracking-related, and therefore transient and temporary.)
". . . And that's our moral purpose." (To perforate the eastern half of our state and pump it full of chemicals so toxic you had to pass a law preventing their complete disclosure, because if we knew, we'd fuckin' freak out?? Nice morals, dude.)
