The import of the article is that PA must continue to elect Dems, the majority party, or lose their pork. Why not just make it simple by just saying vote Democrat?
Term limits are a female dog, aren't they.
Dems=pork. Yeah, that’s about right. But think of all the taxes that would be gone if the Dems go.
“Murtha’s dead. Specter is a loser. Oh, wo! Who’s going to embezzle for PA now?”
translation: so go out and pull the lever from Snarlin’ Arlen because you know you are totally dependent on federal largesse for your meager existence. (this is the same argument that got Murtha re-elected after he called his consituents a bunch of redneck racists)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: PA, like many other so-called “blue” states, is ALL “red” except for Philadelphia, the state capital Harrisburg, and to a much lesser degree Pittsburgh.
And anomolous screamingly leftist college campuses like Bucknell in central PA have been the subject of more than one jaw-dropping thread here on FR, but rest assured that less than one block off campus in any direction, the real residents are “gun clingers” Obama wrings his hands about.
It would be nice to be rid of Specter and not to have an ideological fellow traveler replace Murtha. They’d still have a Dim governor of course but let’s take it one step at a time.
Actually, what I question most is Brauer’s assertion that Toomey would be in the ‘minority party.’
Jus sayin...voters even outside of PA are pi$$ed.
It is a shame that being a PA resident means that Philly and Pittsburgh decide most of our elections....wake up people!
Ms. Zito:
I appreciate your participation in the discussion on this thread. I have read your articles on Townhall for some time now. I frequently disagree with you, but I understand and agree with your point here. I salute you for engaging here on FR.
And now we’re stuck until November with Kanjorski as one of 2 in the state with the most seniority in Congress.
