Business Are Leaving Ohio Because Boehner Doesn't Believe in Global Warming?

WHAT!? I have a Google news alert for John Boehner (big surprise there, eh?) and every now and then, I'll see something in the blog section that I just have to see to believe. Stuff like this from Dayton Politics:
John Boehner Reveals Why Businesses are Leaving Ohio!

Representative Boehner, the House Minority Leader, is the perfect poster child for the educational standards of Ohio schools. I am certain that most of Mr. Boehner’s constituency must be 3 years old and still believe in the tooth fairy as his lack of leadership in appointing qualified individuals to committees is laid bare in this article on global warming.

What happened to Ohio and the United States? Why is so little attention paid to scientists? Is it belief that God was some sort of wizard and not a Scientist? Ohio is reaping what it sows for electing this enlightened man of the 9th century.
I am certain that this liberal is 3 years old mentally... I'm 35 years old and haven't believed in the tooth fairy since I was a really young lad, and I am certain that most of Boehner's constituency is more like me than the Dayton Politics writer.

The two commenters have a better shot at explaining the real reasons why businesses are leaving Ohio. Let's start with the liberal:
Delphi isn't leaving because of high taxes. They are leaving because of high health insurance premiums and retirement benefits, labor costs that in many countries are absorbed by the government through the magic of collecting taxes.
Allow me to translate: Delphi is leaving because of union demands to make Delphi unprofitable. At least this guy makes some sense...

And now the righty:
Businesses are leaving Ohio because of taxes there smart guy! Even my Geology instructors (all 3 of them, who were not right leaning in the least) say that this is Cyclic. This was the same in the 70s but we were going into a new ice age. This changes decade to decade because these scientist wouldn't be able to put food on the table without a grant to apply for. This is all a bunch of hype about nothing. You libs always accuse we right minded individuals of using fear to push our politics but when you do it you'r[e] doing it out of love of mother earth. The sad thing is that so many voters sit and take this crap as gospel while they read their fourth grade level [Dayton Daily News].
Bingo! We have a winner...
