Ohio GOP repeal busting measure

According to Laura Conaway of Maddowblog in her story titled #Ohio GOP seeks way around repeal
“The idea is sort of the opposite of what happened in Wisconsin, where Republicans took the anti-union provisions out of the budgetary bill so they could pass it without a quorum. In Ohio, Republicans say they're ready to put most of the union-stripping provisions into the budget. That would force Democrats to run two referendum campaigns -- the one they're pushing for now, and a second one next year.”  The thinking here is quite astounding because if the first receives an overwhelming vote to repeal, what would make them think that sticking it in the budget would make it any better.  Has it not already been established that measures such as union stripping is not budget related. 

I am no expert but I would assume that there are some thinking individuals in the Ohio GOP who have looked at what this will do to their state.  While it is clear and I do realize that I am beginning to sound like a broken record, that this issue would have not been had those who decided to sit out the midterm had not, they are engaged now and it is obvious that the citizens know who is really in charge.  The politicians work for them even though they may have been paid to believe they work for Corporate America.  A large contributor or donor really only means that the candidate had more money to spend and not that the voters are so weak that they will allow this hostile take-over of their state.  Maybe it’s just me and I could be wrong.
