From RedState.com, this is just a wonderful piece of condemnatory journalism. The writer is livid, livid I tell you, that Gov. John Kasich has justified Ohio's participation in the ACA's Medicaid expansion by arguing that it's merely a state effort "to get our money back here and [therefore] to be in a position to be able to help folks who live in the shadows."
Foul! cries the writer. Kasich is lying! And on this point, the writer does not shy away. To wit,
* Kasich keeps misrepresenting ... the Obamacare Medicaid expansion.
* Kasichโs false talking points are far from garden-variety political spin.
* Kasich included the ... expansion in his budget plan last February, and has been lying about it ever since.
* [T]he Ohio Republican Party has worked to blacklist anyone who tries to hold Kasich accountable.
* Kasich has misled Ohioans about billions per year in taxpayer money.
* Itโs impossible to argue that Gov. Kasichโs Obamacare deception has been inconsequential or unintentional.
* [T]he governor essentially has a pass to say whatever he chooses in service of a bigger welfare state.
* [H]is claims are ... easily refuted.
Well that's nice. But there's a problem, a bit of an oversight, here. The writer never refutes them. Not once. In any place. He just insists that Kasich is a lying dirtbag in league with ungodly socialists and the "left-leaning media." End of story.
