#1 If I was Bush I would set up the resettlement center in Cleveland.

#2 Since when do mere governors set national immigration policy?
Also, Strickland has delayed all death sentences which had been scheduled since his inauguration. In pre-election debates, his opponent predicted that Strickland, being a psychologist, would go soft on criminals.

#3 During his campaign, Reverened Strickland (he's an ordained Methodist minister) advertised on Christian radio and talked about how he was going to govern according to his "faith in Jesus Christ."

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. . . . Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Apparently, Reverened Ted believes that the political expediency of his partty overrides the Gospel.

Hypocrite.

#5 That's what happens when one party stays in power so long it becomes corrupt. The other can win with a donkey. Taft screwed things up just like Nixon. And it didn't have to be but somehow always is.

#6 Mike, I think if you asked Mr Strickland about that verse, it would not-so-surprisingly be missing from his copy of the Bible.

#7 If the refugees are largely those people who worked as interpreters for us I say 'Welcome to America'. To bug out and leave them to be executed for helping us would be horribly immoral.

#8 SPoD-

As a former Clevelander, I say go for it, but only feed 'em kielbasa and dumplings in front of a big screen showing a Browns game. After a few good sized plates of that, they'll be feeling way too sleepy to even consider anything illegal.

Better yet, put 'em in the Dawg Pound for a couple of Sundays. They'll think they never left home.

#9 Let's take a peak into the good Govenor's brain.
I would not want to ask Ohioans to accept a greater burden than they already have borne for the Bush administration's failed policies.

Exactly what is the burden of a few immigrants ?
And, if a few are a burden, then what are numbers so great that english is no longer spoken ? A catastrophe ? A collapse ?
Finally, what would he call a situation where they marched in the streets demanding political gratuities and entitlements and waving flags of other nations ? The Apocalypse ?
We call it home.

#10 "To bug out and leave them to be executed for helping us would be horribly immoral." US Democrats are working hard to make the first part happen & thus ensure the second. The "immoral" part doesn't matter to them, & especially not to the Rev. Strickland. His own website states he used to have a plaque in his office saying:
"And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?Micah 6:8
Just another hypocrite, that is to say, another politician.

#11 I dunno Mike - For true Cleveland indoctination and assimilation, I'd have to suggest force feeding them old Ghoulardi shows.

They'd never turn the TV off.

#12 Absolutely the LAST thing we should be allowing into this country is more Muslim immigrants, Iraqi or otherwise. I say good on the Gov. Even if he is POS Donk.

#13 The governor now says he welcomes the refugees, he was just expressing frustration with the war in Iraq. What a pain those bloggers are, to be sure!

#14 Thanks for the link, TW! Dear heavens, the e-mail and phone calls to the Gubner's Mansion must've been blistering!

I was expressing frustration about all this, but I dont think I came across as a very nice person.

You're not, Ted. You're not.

#15 Gort -
Oh, amen to THAT. And how about a Reuben at the Sportsmens' over on 9th and St Clair?...

#16 Kids, I just did some Googling around, and as far as I can tell, Rantburg is the only blog linking to this story.

If Rev. Gov. Ted got hit by a flurry of e-mails and calls today from angry Netizens, and that's what prompted his climbdown, it started here. In Rantburg.

Behold the Power of the 'Burg
