The family of a Marine who was killed in Iraq is furious with Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll for showing up uninvited at his funeral this week, handing out her business card and then saying "our government" is against the war.

Great home page.... I lurked for a while as well, got into FR from my dad (he was a vietnam veteran, but passed away 2 years ago at 60yrs. old from bone cancer) He was the type that RARELY talked about Vietnam, but when he'd tell me of some of the frightening exchanges he'd have with their enemy, he'd finish it off with "We handed them their ass!!" Thus my screen name... :o)

Tell ya what GBU, I'm in NJ, looks like you're in NY..... This piece of crap pulls this again, you up for a road trip?? hehehe!

I mean, you've got to respect American Democrats for that reason alone.
Clearly God is on their side.
After all, he doesn't let the REPUBLICANS raise the dead to vote, does he?

I've looked the last couple of days to see if this story made the Inquirer - and I didn't find it.

Did anyone?

More on the soldier (Sgt. Goodrich) whose funeral was crashed by the Lt. Governor, in this Pittsburgh Tribune-Review story here. Read the story, but have Kleenex handy.

Sgt. Joseph P. Goodrich and Lance Cpl. Ryan J. Kovacicek, both second-generation Marines, were killed in a mortar attack on July 10th.

The PA Lt. Governor is a heartless, soulless you-know-what to have used Sgt. Goodrich's funeral as a campaign stop. I sent my email to her office last night.

She sat down next to a Goodrich family member and, during the distribution of communion, said, "Who are you?" Then she handed the family member one of her business cards, which Goodrich said she still has

Whatta political whore. This one goes out to my email list.

LOL! Road Trip. :)

You father is a Hero! I'm very sorry you lost your Dad. I have a family member who served in Vietnam. He will not speak of it at all. God Bless all our Vietnam Vets. They are our Unsung Brave Heroes!

This witch ought to have her arse handed to her.

Not the newspapers in Philly. They won't touch Rendell. My local paper, The Inquirer, ran 21 days of editorials why to vote for Kerry.

The County Press a conservative weekly ran 21 editorials on how to save the Inquirer and the Democratic Party. The Inquirer did not heed the good advice.

I wish I had a paper to read like the county press. All I have is the Inky and the Daily news. The Evening Bulletin isn't available near me. They sent me 2 copies via mail but they're only about 6 pages and not much to read.

I was looking for some appropriate words when I read your post. I couldn't have said it better. It is getting to the point of anything goes. Some day, some way,they will pay for their stance.

I won't take exception to your comments regarding the politicians in PA. I agree. I want to note that I usually ask people that I meet in the military services, DoD and intel community where they're from. I'm told by many that they're from PA. I thank God for the abundance of patriots serving this nation from PA.
