#1 "loss of livelihood,"

The basic concept of an 'election' [that is in the classical western concept] implies explicitly that there is no guarantee of 'livelihood'/employment. It is an obvious symptom on display here that Mr. Driehaus (D-OH), believes in the non-western 'representative for life' concept of government. Not that the concept "for life" seems alien to so many he associates with.

#2 Does the one term loser still receive a lifetime pension and free healthcare?

#3 Can we just dump him in the river with 30lbs of weights strapped to his legs instead when he loses an election?

Would be easier and far less whiny.

#5 There's more going on here than a tantrum.

Driehaus's suit is breaking new legal ground and may already be having a very chilling effect on political speech. It goes directly at the heart of our First Amendment protections and criminalizes what is at least a difference of opinion. And it's curious that the case has not received more attention from the national press.

What is equally curious, however, is why Judge Black has allowed the case to move forward and why he did not recuse himself from it since, as Barbara Hollingsworth reported Friday in The Washington Examiner, he apparently is the former president and director of the Planned Parenthood Association of Cincinnati. As seeming conflicts of interest go this one is a real humdinger.

#6 So we will go through this horsesh*t legal procceding, using up court time, money, etc. I would imagine that Driehaus will go for a judge only lawsuit. He will win, then it will go to appeal, with the defendant posting bond for some ungodly amount while the appeal process drags on.

Nice gaming of the system you got there, Traitorous Dems.

You've obviously never scorned a woman.

I defy you to find a difference between Driehaus and a woman.

#11 As far as precedents go what's to stop this SOB from suing his opponent on the same grounds?

The Dems become more despicable by the day.
