I was a Republican governor of Pa. I’m voting for Joe Biden. (Tom Ridge)
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | 09/27/2020 | Tom Ridge - Op Ed

Posted on 09/27/2020 5:35:02 AM PDT by Kid Shelleen

---SNIP--- I actually consider it a point of personal pride that I’m recognized for being among the first Republicans to reject Donald Trump. It was way back in December 2015. I told NBC’s Chuck Todd that day that I could never support Trump. I said then that he was an embarrassment to the Republican Party and our country. I said he belittles, demeans, and ridicules people who disagree with him, and that I’ve never thought that loud, obnoxious, and simpleminded solutions to complex problems are the kind of qualities we want in a president. I believe that earned me my first of several Trump tweets of indignation.

Yes, Ridge is the person who loves abortion clinics. Doesn’t even mind if the clinics are filthy and the woman and her unborn both die.

Yeah, he is a real Biden supporter.

There is nothing in the darkness that will not be brought to light. Trump, if he had done nothing else (and he has done much else), performed a national service by bringing out who our hidden opponents were, the donkeys in rhino’s clothing.

Like many never-Trump Republicans, he’s either an idiot or a liar that won’t give his real reasons for opposing the man. “Trump tweets nasty things, so I’m going to support the party that is burning down parts of this country and opposes everything I believe in!” That’s how silly they all sound.

And yet Trump has solved all sorts of problems and Ridge, well I don't think he ever solved anything.

Ridge was the arrogant big mouth that lost a yuge shipping contract for the port of Philadelphia. I have always questioned his judgement..today that is confirmed. Anyone who would vote for an incoherent, clearly diminished individual, not to add that the individual is Joe Biden, needs to have their own fitness questioned.

Sounds like the moron Larry Hogan in Maryland. Supposedly a republican. In reality, he really wants to be a Democrat.

He hates Trump and said he voted for his dead father in 2016.

He’ll probably be on a Republicans for Biden billboard soon.

I said he [President Trump] belittles, demeans, and ridicules people who disagree with him [...]

From a different thread:

Biden said, "He's sort of like Goebbels. You say the lie long enough, keep repeating it, repeating it, repeating it, it becomes common knowledge, they think." Biden followed that foul insult by saying Trump is "more Castro than Churchill."

Regards,

Well Tom, your boss, allowed 9/11 to happen on his watch.

Tom Ridge was governor for part of this time.

Kermit Gosnell Abortion Clinic Was Not Inspected For 17 Years

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kermit-gosnell-abortion-c_n_812702

While this week’s indictment involving a grisly abortion mill in Philadelphia has shocked many [1], the grand jury’s nearly 300-page report also contains a surprising and little-noted revelation: In the mid-1990s, the administration of Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge, a pro-choice Republican, ended regular inspections of abortion clinics—a policy that continued until just last year.

We do not fail to remember that Ridge was always closer to the Left in Pennsylvania than real Conservatives, in spite of the foolish GW Bush hiring him.

I don’t think anything will help Biden.

He needs to be in a home, instead they stuff him in his basement.

Squishy Republicans who are more concerned with getting along with Dems than standing up for conservative principles got us where we are. Good riddance.


It’s not that. Democrats and Republicans agree on policy: open borders and unfair trade.
