Politics, politics.........

This morning as I was perusing the Patriot-News, I stumbled across Brett Lieberman's political column. That man is such a hack it's ridiculous. His column was about party endorsements not being like they used to be and such. Well I was reading through it and it went on about how rank and file Dems and Repugs were upset that there were no open primaries on either side for Gov and US Senate. I, like many others was equally upset with the powers-that-be that put pressure on candidates to make sure there were no "open" primaries. That is so wrong on so many levels and actually goes against our rights as citizens.

So anyway, I read a comment by TJ Rooney, the PA Democratic Party chairman, talking about Bob Casey being endorsed in the primary....."Bob's liberal credentials didn't meet the standards of some, but (with) anybody other than Bob Casey we'd still have Rick Santorum in the Senate."

First of all, I took issue with TJ saying Bob had liberal credentials......what are you smoking TJ? Bob a liberal? That's a funny one. He is just as conservative as Santorum is, what are you talking about TJ? And secondly, Barbara Hafer could've beaten Santorum as well, but she wasn't given the chance. TJ, when is your term as Chairman up? It's about time for you to pack your bags and go back home. Jeez Louise!

Citizens of Pennsylvania, we must demand OPEN primaries! Do not let the party big whigs make that decision for you, that is our right, not theirs. Demand better and demand it NOW!!
