Go chgog you way to another pint somewhere, pal, and enjoy the freefall of libs, anyway you can take it.
I understand the last part of your sentence and I agree with it.
I see now. You are pissed off your posting only has 21 hits(including yours) compared to the 35 I already got.
Look - you can have mine if you want them. My point is the message is the most important and the way I see it, there are a lot more people who got the message.
Relax and have that drink. We are winning.
They both answer to the same Masters...
But that has nothing to do with you being lazy. And you don't have the character to admit it. That's all.
Never in a million years would the Democrats promote “Bipartisan Coalition” to elect the Speaker of the House. I never heard of this idiot Rep. Charlie Dent before
“Charlie Dent: Republicans ‘fragged’ Kevin McCarthy”
I am calling this the Renee Elmers effect. She has been very nasty to Tea Party members after using the Tea Party to get elected.
Dent represents a Democrat-leaning district, so I tolerate him. But don’t let this guy into the leadership.
I’m pretty sure McCarthy quit because of the report he is having an affair.
First of all his district voted for Romney.
Second of all he doesn’t seem to be declaring his own candidacy here but calling for dems to vote for McCarthy (though he doesn’t mention his name). Wanting the job for himself would be consistent with this kind of idea though.
Regardless, he’s a planned parenthood supporter in a Romney district so he should be primaired with extreme prejudice. Why he got off scot free in 2014 while other MUCH more conservative members were FERVENTLY targeted is beyond me.
His suggestion here is treasonous and makes me want to put a dent in his face. Pelosi would demand concessions.
Excuse me I’ve been on Mars so I didn’t know McC dropped out.
BTW, NASA is full of it, there’s no water there!
PA-15 is not a conservative district. I used to live there before moving to a solidly red (or blue as you like to term it) area in western VA. Toomey was the congressman before Dent and before Dent, there was McHale, a moderate Rat, but a Rat nonetheless.
It’s mostly upper middle class suburbs (Allentown) and like similar suburbs in Philly, it is “kinda” economically conservative, but decidedly socially liberal.
Toomey and Dent are probably about the best you can do there, but they’re a check in the GOP column.
I moved before the 2012 election, so didn’t know Romney took it. That kind of surprises me.
Susan Collins voted to get rid of PP funding and Maine is a lot more liberal than PA-15. And the rat McHale was pro-life wasn’t he?
It may not be a district where M. Bachmann would be elected but I think it can do better than one the premier voices for abortion in the Republican party.
BTW here’s my link for POTUS results by CD
Yes it’s KOS but they do a good job crunching numbers.
For PA-15
2012
50.8% Romney 47.9% Obama
2008
52.1% Obama 46.6% McCain
It’s uh “purple” ;p
Dent is an imbecile, and the suggestion of a Democrat supported Speaker proves he is unfit to serve. See how long a Democrat would last had he suggested a GOP Speaker under a Dem majority. Maybe we could recruit Paul McHale to switch parties and challenge him in the primary. He was a better member than Dent ever was.
PA-15 has the disadvantage of being within commuting distance to both north Joisey and NYC. Transplants can sell their 2 BR cottage on a postage stamp lot in those areas and with the proceeds, buy a McMansion in PA-15.
So what if the breadwinners have to spend two hours a day in a car or on a bus to work, their families live in a cushy house in an upscale neighborhood with great schools. At least, that’s the rationale.
Don Ritter, a scientist by trade and a reliable conservative voice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_L._Ritter) was the rep there from 79-93. Impressive guy, if very bland.
It was in the 80’s that the district started to trend purple as the transplants starting infiltrating.
