“...Pennsylvanians esp coal miners deserve to suffer in servitude to the fedgov - and then be tossed to the side when the money runs out. Enjoy your poverty and starvation, scum..”
“Scum”? “Deserve to suffer”?
First, not everybody is as “enlightened” as you obviously are, sparky. Most people have NO clue about who/what the Dems have become. The vote LOCALLY, because the local DEM shows up at their front door, and they know him, his wife babysits the kids, they go to school together, etc. He’s from the neighborhood. Republicans are nowhere to be seen - except at election time, and nobody knows who the hell they are. There’s a REASON the Republican Party is called “the Stupid Party”.
The Dems FIGHT for every inch of ground they get. Can you say that for the R’s?
And no, I’m not a Dem. I was when I first registered to vote, but that was in 1979.
That being said, in spite of those facts, we have a conservative Republican Governor, a Republican House, and Republican Senate - which is quite a feat for a state that has a 2-1 Dem voter registration and massive Dem vote fraud in cities controlled by “oppressed victim minorities” with a chip on their shoulder.
I come from a family of coal miners from my mother’s side. They were/are “Reagan Democrats” as our good Senator Santorum called them.
They aren’t “scum”. They’re MY people. They’re hard- working, decent, God-believing American Patriots, who’ve put their blood, their safety, and their ASSES on the line for this country in four wars, and worked their entire lives providing for their families. My people never took a DIME they didn’t earn, and they earned it by back-breaking work that others couldn’t or wouldn’t do.
The whole state isn’t Philly or Pittsburgh, sport; and that’s where the ridiculous numbers come from.
“Scum?” What a stupid, f**ed up thing to say to people from PA.
So good to have Allies like you.
