I made no mistake. You are trying to pretend otherwise, unless you can't grasp the meaning of "outpolled".
BUMP
Like I said - he never outpolled a carpetbagger.
I was born and raised in the Schwenksville/Collegeville area. You?
I was born in Ohio and moved all over the place when I was younger, but my mom’s side of the family is from the Valley Forge/Phoenixville area.
When I left PA in 1986, they had a Republican governor and state house and Penn State wasn't putting on Lesbian Fisting seminars. What the hell happened? LOL
Hope your rifle has a scope...that's a very short-sighted view.
You wouldn't recognize Schuykill Township (the one around Phoenixville) - it's pretty much almost completely developed now, and all the roads in the area are near-complete gridlock during rush hour.
Oh? So political domination by either liberal Dems or RINOS is the inevitable future, is it?
I disagree. Strenuously.
Thanks for the update. Wife’s parents used to live along Ridge (Rte.#23) Road, off of Rte.#724. Mostly farm land. Please don’t tell me ‘Seven Stars’ restaurant isn’t a great place to dine anymore.
Seven Stars is still doing fine. Still serving up those Flinstone-sized servings of prime rib.
But the development along 23 goes way past there now, well past Rt 100.

Oooooh I'm so scared of the Hildabeest. Sometimes I question the masculinity of you FReepers whenever Hillary's name is mentioned.
Hillary Clinton was at least in a long-term marriage. ROFL
Hunter would not only turn down such an offer, he'd tell Rudy where he can shove it.
Liberals would not vote for Rudy. They hate Rudy because of his authoritarian and pro-war views. Ditto for libertarians. Conservatives would not support Rudy because of his social liberalism.
In 1970 James Buckley of the Conservative Party won the NY Senate race against the RINO and the Rat candidate. It's quite possible that in a similar 3-way race, both Rudy & Hillary would lose to a 3rd party conservative candidate.
Get real. All of the GOP candidates INCLUDING Ron Paul would be better on terrorism than Rudy, without none of the baggage. Even public pressure would force Hillary to deal with terrorism. You guys are like little kids crying for their mommas to leave the lights on because they see Hillary under the bed. I have no intention of supporting Rudy and I don't care if Hillary gets elected.
The idea Hillary would be guaranteed a second term is ridiculous. But, a Hillary Presidency would almost guarantee Republicans gain seats and probably take over Congress again. In fact, her Presidency, would pave the way for a conservative revolution.
If Giuliani reaches office, we're GUARANTEED not to have a conservative in the White House for eight years. A Giuliani Presiency would also guarantee a shrinking Republican minority in Congress and no effort by Republicans to block the many liberal pieces of legislation he would propose.
More recently, Jesse Ventura won a third-party race for Governor of Minnesota. But both Buckley and Ventura were running for statewide offices, not national. The degree of difficulty, the amount of money and organization necessary to wage an effective campaign, are very different.
Running a national campaign is no walk in the park. You need time, lots of money, a formidable organization from the national level down to the grassroots, candidates with national name recognition, a solid platform upon which you can stand and articulate a consistent position and vision that will appeal to the broad spectrum of voters it takes to win a national race.
Now, it is 14 months until election day. Do you really see a viable third-party candidate emerging and running a credible campaign in that time? Because if not, I am wondering how realistic it is to endorse such a strategy.
Rudy was never in the race. It was only speculated that he might enter the race.
Hahahahahahahahaha!!!! That's funny.
