And more importantly, I'm not voting for DeWine, so we need to get a good candidate out there. I'll vote for him twice if he opens up deer hunting to tapered rifle cartridges. |

Anyone go to Colebrook for Sunday's event? The kid and the FIL both wanted to go to Berea'a gunshow, so I didn't even have to make a choice.

View Quote If interested, I've got the video of both of their speeches and Mark Pukita's speech as well. I'm still working on cleaning them up a bit (especially Pukita's speech - he didn't have a microphone for the majority of it, and it was raining hard on a structure with a metal roof). I thought I'd have it done by now... work, however, has gotten a little busier this week. |

Quoted: Yup. He and Swallen both showed up and spoke individually. I hadn't seen or heard Swallen speak before, and was impressed. Kinda reminds me a bit of Kristi Noem in some ways with her style and mannerism. I think that she and Joe compliment each other's personalities pretty well. And most importantly, neither shy away from discussing things directly or dance around giving their positions. They know what they believe, express it well, and (very importantly) stand by their beliefs. If interested, I've got the video of both of their speeches and Mark Pukita's speech as well.

No mike time, no introduction, etc... Blystone didn’t say anything. They are scared. |

Well, guys... tonight was a cluster fuck!
Turns out it was not a platform for Joe to speak, or any other gubernatorial candidate for that matter. They had a bunch guys running for Senate. They all got a chance to speak and everyone went way over time. Then they had Trump’s campaign manager speak for an hour or so. It was one big Trump ego stroke until it came time for him to say that we should all back Renacci. No thanks. When the time came for Blystone to speak, the guy running the whole thing (also named Joe) thanked everyone for coming and turned on some music. Blystone went stomping down the aisle screaming “Joe, what are we doing here?!” Turned into a pretty heated argument between those two. The Joe guy that organized the event started telling Blystone that he’d already been told he wasn’t going to speak before he showed up. Blystone said “You are the one that invited me to come here and speak! Now you’re telling me I can’t speak?!” After a bunch of back and forth yelling, we all went out into the parking lot where Blystone climbed into the back of some person’s truck, grabbed a bullhorn, and started speaking anyway. Said that we came out there to hear him speak and he’d speak to anyone that would listen. He said that what we had just witnessed was “crony politicians” playing dirty. And quite honestly, that’s exactly how I saw it. Renacci got his endorsement in, then they shut it down. I got a brief chance to talk to Joe, but honestly forgot to ask about his running mate. I will say though, it was very nice to see his teeth come out! From everything I’d seen on Facebook, I liked what he was saying but he didn’t seem like tough enough. Let me tell you... if as governor he would act half as tough as what I saw today, that man will absolute FIGHT for what he believes in. |

Renacci sucks.
Also I've seen 0 Blystone signs in NEO. The only ones I've seen have been in and around Central Ohio. |

The folks who held that event are business owners in Granville. They own a smoothie shop, an ice cream stand, and an air B&B. I’ll make sure the word gets out that they are dirtbags.

Quoted: It’s not the first time I’ve read of the exact same thing happening to blystone. It’s ridiculous. View Quote It’s because they’re scared. They realize that Blystone has a real chance of taking them out and they don’t like it. Blystone is not a career politician. He is (or at least appears to be) the “little man” who, like the rest of us, is fed up with the way our state has been run into the ground, and wants to change it. Career politicians don’t want it to change. It’s the only way they can stay empowered and rich. |

View Quote Haha!! Nah, no need to take it there. The Warners were great. The guy that ran the Licking County Conservatives (I mistakenly called them “Constitutional Conservatives”) was the problem. Those assholes are definitely part of the swamp, and Blystone made a point to tell them that, saying “You are part of the establishment! You are part of the problem, and we’re done with you!” While I don’t know much about Pukita, he didn’t seem bad from what I saw; however, it was very clear that certain people didn’t want him there. I will say though that I was most impressed by Bernie Moreno. And one more things to note: My daughter took a picture with Joe Blystone. Later, someone from Josh Mandel’s campaign snapped a picture of my 8 year old daughter shaking his hand. That picture (with my wife’s permission) ended up on Mandel’s Facebook page. The disgusting comments coming out of people are enough to make my blood boil. It’s nothing but jokes about pedophilia and child trafficking. And that, ladies and gents, is the “tolerant left.” |

The family that hosted the Blystone event is being run out of town, they are no longer welcome in certain businesses, their leases for their businesses are not being renewed, and people are trashing their businesses on social media and places like Yelp. I feel bad for them. |

I have definitely noticed the party trying to snuff him out lately.
There's quite a few Blystone signs out in Ashland County. Haven't seen any Renacci or anyone else. |

If he does some how come out of this mess with any sort of party endorsement to primary against DeWine, there will most certainly be an incredibly smear campaign against him. |
