Josh Mandel, (R-OH) U.S. senate candidate not so *golden*
Unified Patriots
Apparently, political candidates in Ohio taking campaign contributions from Ratners is a no-no for Tea Partiers, 'cause where there're Ratners, there's ACORN. In fact, it's as bad as clapping one's hands for Al Gore. If they only knew the half of Forest City's subsidy-grubbing ways.
Angel-faced and attractive Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel has an impressive resume as far as accomplishments in the political arena. At least on the surface. But I’ve discovered Mandel has a lot of skeletons in his closet.
...Although I can’t confirm by a marriage certificate, I’ve been told by various sources that Mandel is married to a Ratner. If this is indeed correct it would certainly explain his amazing fundraising and the huge enterprise that must be behind this 33 year old gentleman. Albert Ratner, one of the patriarchs of Forest City Ratner did indeed donate $17,000 to Mandel in 2008.
The ties to the Ratners and Mandels also run deep. The Mandels are wealthy and into the casino business.
NoLandGrab: Hey, Tea Partiers, did you know the Ratners prefer to gamble with the taxpayers' money?
