BREAKING NEWS: Governor Rendell Vetoes Castle Doctrine
CBS 21 News ^ | Nov, 27, 2010

Posted on 11/27/2010 3:06:07 PM PST by T.L.Sink

Three more bills met Gov. Ed Rendell's veto pen, including one that would have expanded a person's self-defense rights to use deadly force in certain circumstances outside their home or car. The self-defense bill would have expanded Pennsylvania's so-called "Castle Doctrine" and offered immunity against civil lawsuits in certain cases.

“What Rendell is doing is inviting criminals to move to PA.”

Exactly I fail to see what these filthy Liberals see in allowing Americans to be unable to defend themselves.

<When are they going to vote this worthless pigman out of office.

What is wrong with the people of PA? I lived in Philly for 10 years and had gradually been voting for more conservatives and libertarians, but hadn’t changed my registration from Dim.

Well, ole Ed Rendell, who made some nasty remarks about there being no minorities at the national convention (which wasn’t true) made me so angry I finally got off my rear and changed my registration to the GOP. How does this guy still hold an elected office in PA?

“Let me guess...Fast Eddy (and his family) have armed protection 24/7/365.

Am I getting warm?”

He should be made obey the same laws the rest of the people have too.

We have a new Governor in Jan. This is Rendell’s parting shot to screw with the law abiding.

I live in Crawford County and we all don’t have to worry about Ed Spendell anymore. It’s called term limits.
Ed Spendell, though, is not done. With his veto today and his history, he’ll be a perfect commentator on MSNBC. My prediction is that he will go for DNC Chairman (again) Or maybe a FOXNEWS anal ist, which he already is. But full time. GOD help us all. Yes, we still cling to our religion and our guns. Might yet be the savior to OUR REPUBLIC.

Let’s hear it for Ed’s number one fan!!! Woo Hoo!!!

Shut up idiot. If you paid attention to PA State's voting returns, this state went right in a big way..

But its easier to paint state citizens with a broad brush when out trolling isn't it?

“Fast Eddy” is term limited and on the way out. This crap was his farewell legacy!

Fast Eddie is out in January, with Republican Tom Corbett assuming the governor’s office after winning the election. The legislature will pass this again rather quickly and Corbett will sign it. This was Rendell’s last gasp!

I live in Pike County and can not for the life of me understand why people would vote for a guy like this. This guy who has done nothing but cripple this state and it’s hard working people yet made it a playground for entitlement morons. I hope the working class of PA will wake up soon and vote out this AHOLE who seems determined to deconstruct our Constitution.

Keep up with the news, they did vote him out but the Republican doesn't take over until Jan.

So with a GOP governor coming in and a GOP legislature.Could this law be brought back next year and perhaps a different result?

I think the recent House elections mean that people have had enough of this liberal crap and are getting serious about taking their country back - from Obama and his fellow socialists and America haters.

a potential victim of violence is expected to just run away or retreat,

Ummmm, I have a question: what if you run away (the Obama Doctrine) and the thug chases you? Are you ordered by law to run faster? Will the Democrat Party (Lawyers) throw you in jail because you didn't try hard enough?

I havn’t heard about any future plans but I’m sure we’ll hear about his bitching and complaining. But, on the good side, nobody can be another Bill Clinton who will only GO AWAY when he’s in his coffin!

This passed by a large enough margin to override Fast Eddie’s veto. So regardless, his veto is irrelevant.
