The Ohio GOP establishment is playing other games as well. We’ve got a solid candidate in Bill Yarbrough, trying to bump Pat Tiberi from the Ohio 12th District. It’s got Mr. Tiberi running scared and the GOP establishment playing dirty tricks.
When Mr. Yarbough filed in November, he was clearly within the district, but the Repubs redrew the lines and suddenly Yarbrough is 400 yards outside the district for which he is running.
Then the Chair of the Delaware County GOP filed complaints with the Ohio Elections Commission against Bill on behalf of the Tiberi campaign saying Bill was a member of the Tea Party and therefore could not run in the primary as a Republican. This was done specifically so they could claim a case is pending in the attack ads Tiberi has started running. It was a political stunt – the charge was dismissed by the Ohio Elections Commission If you’re a TEA party member, or you challenge Tiberi, look out!
The attack ads further challenge Bill’s party loyalty because he once ran for a State Senate position as a third party candidate to learn the ropes, even though he has voted for our own personal RINO – Tiberi – everytime he has run.
This why I will support individual candidates and issues, but NOT the Republican Party!
