Can anyone honestly vote for a kid who has never had a real job? He was never in the Armed Services, has no idea how the world works. He ignored real issues that faced Freeburg, when he was presiding over the boro council. He was pushed around by the boro workers. He is spineless, and needs to do something, and experience life before holding public office. It is my belief that before you could hold public office, you should spend 4 years in the Armed services, and none of the bs that Bush did. If you have never struggled, you cannot keep your thumb on the pulse of the little guy, and we need politicians that are for the little guy. We are rulled by the top 1%. If you don’t have money, no laws that will help or protect you will be passed. Only laws that get passed these days protect the wallets of the top 1%ers. We need to clean house, and start with this snot nosed, spineless, wimp of a person.

I checked his reports. So what? Hafer did not single handedly fund the campaign. AND, he has not followed Hafer’s beliefs. Anyway, your comments seem pretty liberal online – don’t see why you’d be bothered!

Have any of you checked his campaign finance reports? Who paid for his election for commissioner? The campaign was funded by Barbara Hafer money.

Even though he’s from the opposite party, I am glad to see my Alma Mater Susquehanna U’s county of Snyder getting some rare recognition. Fess up – how many of you can actually point to Snyder County on a map of Pennsylvania without reading it???

Not only does he look like a middle schooler, he acts like one. Take it from one who knows. When he dosen’t get his way, his face gets bright red and he spind around on the floor pounding! Please do NOT consider him as a viable candidate!

I don’t think Chris Carney is the picture of fitness, either…Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, I can’t really name too many politicos who are in shape…Maybe it’s better to bring on a little chub when running for office? A mindset of “No one trusts a skinny politician” perhaps?

Maybe Mr. Derk could stand to look a little older though; I don’t argue your point there.

I’m just excited that we might have a race! At least Derk has political experience and is willing to put himself out there; I don’t see any other people stepping up to give Carny and the people of the 10th district a race. I’m interested to hear more about Derk in the upcoming weeks…

He’s a chess champion that I’d want leading this district. Last I knew, chess players actually are able to use strategies and carry them out. What happened to Carney’s thru-way plan?

CHECK MATE BY DERK!

I’m so glad to hear Mr. Derk is considering a bid to challenge Carney. He’s the most serious candidate to emerge so far and has so much potential. It is very refreshing to see a young professional who is motivated enough to want to make a difference in government.

Quite frankly my vote would’ve defintely been for Carney, but after seeing what my party has done with the White House, I’m fed up. I’m not saying my vote will go to Derk – but I am saying that we need to take a look at some fresh, new perspectives. The change we voted for in 2008 just isn’t working. period.

As for age – more power to the young candidates – republican or democrat!
