Yep - they (Pubs) never seem to learn. It’s so simple, but they just don’t get it.

“Wolf had called for increasing funding for public schools and leveling a tax on natural gas producers in the state, which Corbett had opposed.”

Corbet pulled a Bush as Wolf was ling about money for the schools to the tune of 1 BILLION $$$

It was a lie as Corbet had his 1st budget 4 years ago which cut did not include OBOLA'S 1 billion $$ stimulus money but it DID HAVE over 970 million that he got by cutting state expenses like state cars.

Corbet did not squash the lie instantly and left it out there for 3 years!!! JUST like Bush did with all the Obama lie points for 5 years.

It was just very stupid marketing on Corbet's part. He cost himself the election.

Now PA is facing higher taxes, possible global warming taxes and so much more. How F__ing stupid can you be?

PA will be the only place where Obama lives after tonight. Wolf will sleep with him and at MOOSES feet.

Since Wolf was so upset about Corbett taking one billion out of education, I’m looking forward to him putting that one billion back into education - right.....

I held my nose and voted for Corbett. He turned his back on Conservatives. Signed a $0.28 gas tax increase, didn't appeal when a black robed tyrant dismissed the will of the people and said our tradional marriage law was unconstitutional and didn't appeal the ruling shutting down PA voter ID.

I think a lot of Conservatives just couldn't pull the lever, that and voter fraud in Filthadelphia that rivals Chicago.

Blame it on Philly and Pittsburgh. Those of us in between vote Republican.

I’m sick of being ruled by the losers and dead voters in those two cities.

He was an unlikable fellow and not the best candidate. I voted for him but he approved the 28 cent gas tax (dumb) and played a role in the Paterno fiasco. Many people held the latter part against him, as well as the former.

Get ready for the taxes under Wolf. That sucking sound is Philadelphia sucking the taxes from the rest of the state. Wish we could hand over Philly to NJ.

Yes Corbet played it stupid but with Wolf in the state of PA will be better how????
If you like someone and the believe in 80% of what you do (and know is right) and there is someone else who is completely a copy of OBOLA who is better for your state? Again, please share with us how Wolf will be better.. just so we all can see our cards and all that.....

The REST of the U.S. effectively bitchslapped our Dear Leader. But PA? Well...a few counties EMBRACE the Obama-esque Wolf.

Wolf has PROMISED to raise the gas tax EVEN MORE!

“Free up” Act 13 monies (for Philly! surprise!)

And Wolf is so Green! Who needs domestic energy and all those icky oil field jobs?

Wolf also blasted Corbett in commercials for the gas tax increase. But in the debates Wolf said it was “the right thing to do.”

Obama promises to bankrupt coal? They elect Obama.

Coal is NOT King in Pennsylvania. The top 3 coal states are Wyoming, West Virginia and Kentucky. PA is a distant fifth.

I’ll continue to buy my gas in Jersey whenever possible. $2.61 at Costco in Wharton, NJ. So increasing the tax just means I’m going to buy less PA gas. I’ll also be moving to Texas within 4 years. No state income tax in TX.

Corbet already did that since the beginning. It was an Obola style lie and the voters in PA lapped it up like the content little lap dogs they are.

A Republican governor with a Republican-controlled legislature (both houses) and we still get a liberal Democrat administration.

In PA, there really is no choice. Republicans are the same as Democrats.

I’m a school board director and I was SO looking forward (still am, in a way), to get into it about the pension connection with Wolf
