Pennsylvania’s Fake Moderates

Being a “purple state,” Pennsylvania has more than its share of Democrats who are self-described moderates. And, because they’re Democrats, many in the mainstream media make sure never to refer to them as “progressives” or “left wing” – let alone “extreme.”

But, to paraphrase some old wisdom, if you vote with the left wing of your party almost all the time, and you allow left-wingers to control the legislative agenda, and you never criticize the radicals in your party, then guess what? You’re a left-wing politician.

I’m looking at you, Bob Casey, Chrissy Houlahan, Matt Cartwright, Susan Wild, and Chris DeLuzio. These Pennsylvania members of Congress typify the “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” They are left-wing politicians hiding behind “moderate” imagery.

A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue, but moderation in principle is always a vice.

With US politics as polarized as they are now, how can anyone call himself/herself a ‘moderate’ ... and keep a straight face?

A Moderate is a coward who doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong.

The real problem in PA is the Republican commie baby killers. They will vote conservative locally but commie in the statewide and federal races.

I remember the days when we had Republican governors in Pennsylvania and state taxes were low. Politics made sense then. Now, the Democrats bring fake, distorted charges against many prominent Republican candidates to bring them down. Prayers for protection for our good Republican public servants.
