He's Bipartisan! (Democrat Chariman Caught Masquerading As Republican In Letter To Editor)
wsj Best Of The Web ^ | September 15, 2008 | JAMES TARANTO

Posted on 09/16/2008 7:56:18 AM PDT by lowbridge

The Lebanon (Pa.) Daily News carries a letter to the editor from Christopher Tarsa, who makes the case for crossing party lines to support Barack Obama:

"As a Republican and strong McCain supporter in 2000, I was disappointed and saddened in 2004 when McCain permanently traded in his maverick credentials and sold out his principles to support George W. Bush."

-snip

But the paper appends a tagline that rather undercuts Tarsa's claim to speak "as a Republican": "Tarsa is chairman of the Lebanon County Democratic Committee."

Man, you really have to parse the words of a Dimocrat carefully. A close re-read shows that the guy is saying he was a Republican and a McCain supporter in 2000, but he's not saying he's a pubbie now. The DNC must give training classes in how to write like that.

It's positively Clintonian.

I agree that he worded his letter very carefully.
He might have been a Republican in 2000. I wonder what party he belonged to other years.

If the following is true, it looks like he’s been a Democrat since 2004.

I was listening to a panel discussion on CNN and they had callers saying they were long time Republicans now voting for Obama.

The only problem was that each caller seemed to have the same reasons and that being Sara was not qualified, she needed to stay home and take care of her children, she accepted an ear mark.

One lady who called in said she and her husband were strong Republicans and were voting for Obama and she claimed that all of his 3,000 union workers were all voting Obama.

“As a Republican and strong McCain supporter in 2000, I was disappointed and saddened in 2004 when McCain permanently traded in his maverick credentials and sold out his principles to support George W. Bush.”

What this idiot doesn’t seem to understand is that the people in the base that do hate the man, hate him BECAUSE of the maverick BS.

That’s the conclusion I drew from his letter.

The Lebanon (Pa.)

Drove through "Lebnon" on thursday on 72. Boarded up windows galore. If your looking for the Amish experience in Lebanon, take your Spanish-English dictionary. Local in Fredericksburg informed me that there are 3 chicken processors in the area and that there was a stabbing in their community center recently. They host weddings and parties.

Outside Lebanon we met the most helpful and nice folks while doing genealogical research.

Tarsa’s company?

Sturkey, World Leader in MICROTOME KNIVES

Producing a product that is considered to be a vital tool used in medical diagnosis and research had inspired C.L. Sturkey, Inc. to be the world’s leading innovator in the making of microtome knives.

Microtome knives are precision cutting instruments used by histologists who cut ultra-thin tissue samples from humans, animals and plants for microscopic examination.

I think Tarsa is mad at Republicans (esp. President Bush) because he thinks pro-aborts are better for his business.

Sturkey supplies microtome knives to histologists and sharpens obstetric instruments like decapitating scissors.

I called the number for the LCDC you listed and the dimwitted girl who answered didn’t even catch on that I was spoofing her when I told her that Chris Tarsa is a spy for the Republicans and is trying to undermine Obama.

I told her she better keep a close watch on him and she agreed.

She then asked me if I could donate some time (they don’t have caller id and saw I was calling from Oklahoma?) to help out the Obama campaign and I told her that I don’t have time because I run a multi-national oil company and am to busy making excess profits. She said “Well maybe when it gets closer to November I could find some time because Obama is going to need it”!!

I could not hardly keep from laughing out loud at her!!!
