Agreed on post#3.
The first quote below didn’t surprise me, I’ve been pointing those numbers out for some time. But the second quote took me by surprise, and it shows just how tough this district is for a Republican. A Republican can’t win a general election by running as a middle-of-the-roader. You’ve got to be a Reagan, and that’s Russell.
“The numbers don’t lie: There were 256,281 Democrats compared with 118,175 Republicans as of last year’s general election, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State.”
“Further emphasizing the dichotomy in the district, the 2008 presidential vote was far from overwhelming on the Republican’s behalf: The final tally was 35,355 for McCain and 32,203 for Obama.” (McCain barely got half of the REPUBLICAN vote!!!)

The more I think about Tim Burns refusal to support Social Security Privatization, the angrier I get. My guess is that a poll was done by Kent Gates and BrabenderCox that said this is what he had to say. Whether that is true or not, I don’t think we will find out. Tim Burns, tragically, has become entwined with snakes like Rob Gleason and convicted perjurer Bob Asher and, probably, with same kind of enticements the evil snake gave to Eve. Both sad and infuriating.
As Pat Toomey and many, many others have shown and, it is without dispute, that Social Security is bankrupt and 2009 year, the Social Security outflows exceeded inflows and it is likely to continue in 2010. Young workers and their employers are forced by government coercion, government guns, to subsidize this at rate of 15.2 % Payroll Tax which inhibits job creation for newer worker, a 15.2 % penalty on productivity and work.
And there is no one under 35 who thinks he or she is going to get Social Security. Exactly why does a young person, or any person, have to pay for something he or she is not going to get. This is a swindle that makes Bernie Madoff and ENRON and WorldCom look like saints. In effect, our government is stealing from our youngest and most vulnerable workers.
The unemployment rate among young people, including college graduates, is higher than national averages. Increasing the cost of hiring new workers is, as Tim Burns knows, means fewer worker, fewer jobs and more government dependency.
Tim Burns offers pandering that obfuscates the problems with policies that only exacerbate the bankruptcy, not reasoned tradeoffs to address the problem.....; Vote Bill Russell for Primary Election. Send a message that Business As Usual that is bankrupting our country is unacceptable. Dissembling and Pandering are not acceptable responses to very serious policy issue.
Bill Russell Independent of Party Leadership
Send a message to Rob Gleason, Bob Asher and the entire Republican Establishment. “Do not Tread on Me.” Let the Republican Voter decide, not the Party Insiders.
