I don't know who "these people" are that you speak of, but I do feel it is unfair for you to claim the Rep party in this specific area cultivates a racial divide to "stay in power". We work very hard to remove race-baiting from the political dialog and focus on people- not their color. Nor is it fair to paint the rest of the mid-state with the same brush. I do know that the right has a kooky fringe same as the left, only considerably smaller, and I realize there are kooks in all quarters who do not represent the vast majority of us.
It is interesting you mention this Sisku, I think houston1 owes the Republican party in Pennsylvania an apology for placing his typical yellow dog Democrat beliefs on the Republicans.
I took a look at his past posts. Not at all a conservative, he claims to be a libertarian, but he doubts WMD, the need for the war, and believes Pres. Bush has a personal vendetta against Hussein.
He defends the acts of kooky liberals including Al Franken and KKK "sheets" Byrd, has made anti-christian and pro-gay statements. To top it all off, he signed up on Sept. 12, 2001 and this is not the first time he has been "outed" for his Democratic talking points.
In any event, he hasn't a clue as to how Republicans or Conservatives think or feel. I'd say houston1 has a problem. Maybe Moby did not teach him how to lay low enough under cover in his seminar.
Lynn Swann must really have Democrats scared to death if this is how far they are already willing to go to protect their power.
God bless you Swannee! Send Fast Eddie packing soon.
Thanks Sisku for defending the good people of Pennsylvania.
