I watch Fast Eddie with interest. He passes himself off as a reasonable guy with some good ideas (for a rat) but them takes the family car a drives over the cliff. I view him as the left’s Newt.

Rendell has always made my skin crawl even before he opens he mouth. He just looks the part of a sleazy politician. Sleazy and corrupt to the core. Kinda like Al Gore.

Grace, I don't understand you.

Fast Eddie is so popular that in certain areas of Philadelphia, he got 102% of the vote! The guy has talent! In fact, if he felt like it, he could have made Lassie or Flipper the Governor, thrown the Commonwealth's Electoral votes to Jack the Ripper. This guy really runs the state his way!

Steal a hot stove? No problem. How you want them eggs? How can you complain about a guy like that?

Hey, on the good side, he’s making New Jersey look good by comparison! Way to go, Fast Eddie!

[Impy]

You can list the current rat Governors who HAVEN’T effed-up their states on one hand.

FOR THE LAST TIME, America is a REPUBLIC, on the paper Constitution, but America functions as a DEMOCRACY. We're leaving the rule of law further and further behind and are, increasingly ruled by men, and not laws. I mean, which amendmant gives the Internal Revenuers the power to collect taxes and investigate and punish those who attempt to evade? Where's the hate crime laws fit in with free speech? Hell, our previous president, and several before him, fought undeclared wars, and established new wealth redistributions, and our current redistributor ain't even a legal citizen.

A republic, if you can keep it, Franklin said, didn't he?
