Liz Cheney and her Alliance for America’s Future are funding mailing campaigns in Ohio to distort the truth about Ohio’s Issue 2, the public referendum on Senate Bill 5 which drastically strips public workers of collective bargaining rights. The daughter of former Vice President and arch-nemesis of freedom, Dick Cheney, has been helping fund and support the law that a majority of Ohioans want to repeal. The anti-labor law, introduced by Governor John Kasich, generated over 1,000,000 petition signatures opposing it.

It should be noted that Dick Cheney was once a union man, after flunking out of Yale, he worked as an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) lineman in Wyoming.

With just two weeks before Election Day (November 2), the fight over Issue 2 is becoming more and more contentious and Cheney’s group is not alone in flooding the airwaves with misinformation. As the nation looks on, labor battles in Ohio and Wisconsin are likely to shape the future of the movement. A rejection of Kasich’s law by the public is likely a solid prediction of how the 2012 state elections will go and whether or not states that favored tea party candidates in 2010 will learn from the error of their ways.

It should be noted that Issue 2 also acts as a referendum on the Governor and his policies. According to polls from Public Policy Polling, Kasich is the least popular Governor in the country with an approval rating of 37 percent:

If Kasich himself were up for a vote instead of his legislation, former Gov. Ted Strickland would rout Kasich by a 54-40 margin. SB5 is headed for repeal by an even larger 56-36 margin, up from 50-39 in August. Most of the movement has come from Democrats, 80% of whom are now against it, with only 13% planning to approve SB5. That is up 19 points on the margin from 69-21 only two months ago. With 30% of Republicans in this blue-collar, Rust-Belt state against SB5, and Democrats making up a 47% plurality of voters and his own party only 37%, Kasich cannot rely on turnout alone to prevail. He has to get more of the GOP in line or break the 46-46 tie with independents.

2. Of course she is. The state that Rove and daddy stole!

2012 is in danger here. Ohio will be stolen again with the help of Shooter's spawn! Without Ohio we know that the clown on the right will be s-elected.

3. What does she use to sharpen her nose?

A pencil sharpener or a good 'ol whittling blade?
