Will Kasich Actually Do Something "Moderate"?

In the raucus, racist, right-wing mud-wrestling contest which passes for the GOP primary race, the talking heads often refer to Ohio Gov. John Kasich as a "moderate."  He is not, of course.  The guy tried to crush the state's public unions, for cryin' out loud!  Moderates don't do that.  In almost every way, Kasich is conservative as hell.  Indeed, moderate Republicans no longer exist.  But coming up soon, Kasich will have the chance to actually do something moderate.

I'm sure you've heard that in the Republican state of Texas, the Republican Governor, Republican Lt. Governor and Republican Attorney General directed a Republican prosecutor to have a grand jury indict Planned Parenthood for allegedly selling aborted baby parts.  The grand jury found no wrongdoing by Planned Parenthood and instead indicted its accusers, the makers of the infamous, deceptive undercover videos.  Ha!

Our Republican-gerrymandered state legislature here in Ohio must have missed that news.  More likely, they heard about it but just didn't give a shit.  Yesterday, Ohio Senate Republicans voted to defund Planned Parenthood facilities across the state.

Facts:  61% of all Americans oppose defunding Planned Parenthood; 51% of all Americans and 55% of all American women are "pro-choice"; just 3% of Planned Parenthood services rendered are abortions; Planned Parenthood is an essential provider of health services to low-income inviduals.

But here in Ohio, 22 of 30 state senators chose to ignore the facts and to impose their personal quasi-religious, anti-abortion, moralistic bullshit beliefs on the rest of us.  Eternal shame on all of them!

Their rotten bill will wind up on Kasich's desk in a couple weeks.  Will he sign it into law?  Given his track record, he'll probably show his red ass once again and sign it.  But a true moderate would not.  A true moderate would veto that nonsense instantly. 

So whadya say, Jawhnny?  Is you is or is you ain't a real moderate?
