The Democrats speak out of an insipid echo chamber. Since the 1950s, Every 4 years they rant on incessently about how we want to get rid of Social Security. LOL. Trying to scare seniors.

Intresting that McCain’s surge is among 20 to 30 year olds. according to the Fox Poll. And he continues to do quite well among 30 to 50 year olds. Sarah Palin is a huge factor im sure. But the generation that the left educated and told to toe their line might just save the United States of America.

My gut tells me that winning the World Series effects Obama negatively in PA.

“cheap nephew”

In a recent tax year, he and the Mrs. made $249,000— gave to charity $1050. Pathetic doesn’t quite sum it up. But it doesn’t surprise me, he wants to donate YOUR MONEY!!

"I'm competitive, but I've never been spiteful," Rendell said. "This time, ladies and gentlemen, I want to crush them."

So this is typical Fast Eddie speak?

That's a lie. The income tax was introduced after Roosevelt left office in 1908.

And it wasn't graduated, it was a flat tax starting at 5,000 bucks and up and people were told they would only ever tax the rich(5,000 per year being extremely good money back then).Typical politician BS and look where it got us. The Roosevelt that put in the graduated tax was the SOB of a socialist FDR, and he gave us SS also.

Four days before the election, Fast Eddie Rendell is on the news talking about reducing state expenditures. It’s about time,

My husband noticed an “odd” trend in our business checking account today....we own a car dealership in PA and send in the sales tax right along with the title fee and registration. The “big” checks (over $1000) are getting cashed right away while the smaller ones for a hundred bucks or so hang out there for weeks. It’s like The State is scrambling for money in full throttle.

Rendell... Is he the guy who sounds like he’s been smoking two packs of bareback Camels for thirty years?

I think it was 1 percent, and they said it would never go higher. The income tax was introduced under Wilson, a Dem, around 1915, if I remember correctly. The graduated rate, I don’t know, but FDR would be a logical culprit. He definitely had one, and his top rate was 70 percent, where it stayed until Reagan. No wonder those idiots couldn’t end the depression.

The more Rendell and Obama try to refute the socialist label, the more it will stick.

"Tell them the governor says they have to have rocks in their head if they vote for anyone other than Barack Obama," Rendell said.

Better to have rocks in the head than rocks in the crack pipe.

If Fast Eddie wants to convince Pennsylvanians to vote for someone other than McCain, he needs to disown Jack Murtha.

The current RCP poll aggregate map show PA as merely "leaning" Obama.

The “Huge Democrat new Registration advantage” that pollsters are basing Party ID’s running everywhere from +6 to +16 (!!) isn’t materializing, ESPECIALLY in “Operation Chaos” states like Pennsylvannia.

And it has some Dems beginning to panic.
I’m not sure we can really win this thing, but I’m going down to work the phones in the morning!

Another scumbag Democrat insulting much of the electorate..... Murtha calls them racists and rednecks, Fast Eddie says they have "rocks in their head"

>Rendell said one reason the race was tightening was that Republican attacks — that Obama is a socialist, wants to redistribute wealth and will raise taxes — were starting to stick.<

I’m afraid I don’t see anything inaccurate there.

Yeah. Just think of two union thugs sitting around in a local bar, having several beers, and talking of pounding on a some regular nonunion worker.

See now?
