Onorato’s Tea Party faker

August 20, 2010 at 9:15 am

We always knew that Dan Onorato was willing to do whatever it takes to try to overcome Tom Corbett’s commanding lead in the race for governor, but even we were surprised that he would sink this low.

Two weeks ago, four members of the Tea Party movement filed a motion against John Krupa, who had filed nomination papers to run as the supposed candidate of the Tea Party.

But Krupa had one very big problem—he…

Clinton still hoping to land ‘Joe Says Tax’ a job

August 9, 2010 at 4:35 pm

With news that former President Bill Clinton will be campaigning on behalf of Democratic Senate candidate Joe Sestak this week, I couldn’t help but comment. As you certainly know, the two made headlines earlier this year for their involvement in the White House “Jobgate” scandal, in which Clinton, at the behest of the White House, offered Sestak a position in the administration as an enticement to drop out of the Senate primary against Arlen Specter.…

Every Democrat for himself

August 2, 2010 at 4:05 pm

Things have certainly changed a great deal over the last four years since the 2006 midterm elections, when Democrats took control of Congress.

Democrats are now stricken with an increasingly unpopular president, controversial Democratic leaders (see Pelosi, Reid, Rendell), policies Americans don’t agree with (see government-run health care, cap-and-trade energy tax, stimulus, etc.), numerous scandals (see Jobgate, Rangel, Waters) and have overseen the worst economic climate since the Great Depression.

It’s not surprising, then, that…

Still waiting for ‘Jobgate’ answers

June 29, 2010 at 8:45 am

Democrats just don’t get it.

It’s been months since Congressman Joe Sestak (D-7) first acknowledged the White House’s attempts to bribe him out of the Senate primary, and yet the party that ran on a pledge of increased openness and transparency is still fighting tooth-and-nail to keep the truth about what has become known as “Jobgate” away from the taxpayers.

It didn’t have to be this way. If, as the White House has said, “ Full Story

State GOP ready for November

May 25, 2010 at 10:21 am

Last Tuesday was a great day for the state Republican party. Our Party nominated excellent candidates up and down the ticket.  Statewide, all three of our endorsed candidates won in convincing fashion.

U.S. Senate candidate Pat Toomey ran very strong in every area of the state and stands poised to be our next U.S. Senator.

We are also looking forward to taking on Congressman Joe Sestak, or as we have come to refer to him…

Coming down to the wire

May 11, 2010 at 12:30 pm

The clash between Senator Arlen Specter and Congressman Joe Sestak (D-7) has been arguably the most interesting race to watch in what has shaped up to be a fascinating primary season.

Make no mistake about it, we have a real race brewing and I believe we may be witnessing the last few days of Senator Specter’s political career. I always believed this race would tighten, but now it appears that Specter is in serious jeopardy…

The party’s over: GOP launches FireSpecter.com

April 29, 2010 at 1:50 pm

What a difference a year makes.

This time last year, Democrats in both Washington and Pennsylvania were celebrating the news that Senator Arlen Specter had decided to run away from the “Republican primary electorate” and join the ranks of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and a Democratic Party that now held a super-majority in the Senate.

But if a day is a lifetime in politics, then Arlen Specter’s had more than enough time to learn a…

PelosiCare accountability tour continues

April 12, 2010 at 1:27 pm

Last month, members of Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation followed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lead and voted to pass a 2,309 page government-run, taxpayer-funded health care bill that will raise costs, kill jobs and drive a government-sized wedge between patients and their doctors.

Over the last few weeks, the Republican Party of Pennsylvania has been working hard to make sure voters know which Democratic members of Congress voted for this atrocious bill. We have also been inviting…

March Madness, ObamaCare style

March 21, 2010 at 12:12 pm

Health care has been dominating the headlines this week, which says something considering everything that is going on in Pennsylvania politically (petitions, petition challenges, the drawing of ballot positions, Bonusgate, etc.).

For those of you keeping score at home, the Democrats are in control of the White House, have a near super majority in the U.S. Senate (and had one until January), and have a huge majority in the U.S. House. So why are they…
