“There’s got to be some rules, and there’s got to be something that gets set there. Some decency.” (Gov. Kasich)
Normally, I would agree, John. However, your side has already ceded that ground. You do recall all of the recent chatter of Bill Clinton, don’t you? No? How about all the garbage your side chatted about during President Obama’s two presidential campaigns? You see, your side lies … and pretty consistently, I might add.
Being the one guy who isn’t a nauseating churl could be just crazy enough a gimmick to work (update: it is not a crazy enough gimmick to work). And if it were more an expression of who Kasich really is, and if his positions were, in fact, moderate, I’d be about halfway sympathetic.
I agree. I wish we had more time to gauge him (Not that I would even consider voting a Republican to the White House).
Praps Mr Kasich, you could speak some sense to your party’s other 2 candidates …er…children… and remind them what it is they’re doing?

Blow me, Kasich. I remember how you and your sanctimonious gang of scum-skimmers went after Clinton during the '90s, including Hillary and Chelsea. And that’s not even counting how many times you despicable, lying motherfuckers have gone after Michelle Obama. I can buy a plastic crown of thorns at Hobby Lobby, too, asshole.
It’s odd that he would say that. He’s been fucking over families in Ohio for years.
… if they’re GOP families.
If the candidate brings out their spouse as a surrogate for them then they definitely can be talked about. The line I draw with minor children.
Surrogate is a word and it has a definition…a proper one. None of the candidates have made surrogates out of any of their family members. And I’d think the only justified way to go after a family member is to go after that family member’s campaign activity. Not their looks or private affairs. By definition a wife’s had an intimate relationship with her husband. It’s not in play.
Kasich’s a SOB through and through, ask any Ohioan, but compared to the crazies in the field, so far he’s getting away with his attempt to be the reasonable guy, and he’s not. He’s using an enormous amount of self restraint in a lifetime of being cranky, argumentative, disdainful and hot tempered.
Gee I don’t remember him ever speaking out about all the dreadful things said about our current First Lady, he is a typical r/w hypocrite.
All your decency are belong to Democrats

I’ll believe that families are off-limits when Kasich stops waging war on family planning services.
Actions speak louder than words.
Mr Kasich, What would you say to your fellow republicans about their abysmal and very personal abusive treatment of Michelle Obama and the “First Daughters”? Why are they not “off limits”?
These guys live in a bubble. I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually thought Republican discourse fell on some higher moral territory than the words from people on the left. It doesn’t though, of course, dirty tricks, lies, having to have their own news outlets for Christ’s sake, is all the fabric of the Republican Conservative coat. All the Lee Atwater stuff the Karl Rove and Frank Luntz propaganda, it’s all on them. Kasich is a borderline psychotic who thinks he can be President. Honestly if I had to pick between Trump, Kasich and Cruz, I’d probably go with Trump. He’s probably the least dangerous, and that’s saying something.
Why are spouses off limits? I can understand kids-- they don’t choose their parents.
But the spouses, they choose each other. And if your prospective leader has chosen poorly in their personal life, that seems to me legitimate reason to question whether their choices are right in other ways.
“families should be off limits” Unless of course they are the wives and children of Democrats, or even more if the candidate and his family are not only Democrats but black. Then of course its open season.
There, fixed it for you.
Note to GOTP. Your hypocrisy will, in the end, be the doom of the GOTP. Unless you destroy your own party by keeping Trump from being the candidate or by pushing Cruz, the most hated man in the Senate. Either way, if the Democrats and Independents come out and vote, not only will the GOTP presidential candidate lose, but so will GOTP in the House and Senate.
BUT, that’s only if people VOTE. If you are pissed because your favorite candidate lost and decide not to vote, the GOTP could very well pull out a victory. Even if Cruz believes he can win with only evangelicals and old white men.
And IMPO, Cruz is by far the most dangerous candidate
Well, he of course meant that only for inter-Republican competition, goes without saying that to him this doesn’t apply to “the enemy” where the end justifies all means.
