The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
This was entirely expected, for one of the anti-gun Senators to put a hold on the reciprocity bills. It was always going to take 60 votes to get this passed, as it did last time it was up. Do we have sixty votes? Hard to say. Last time it failed by two, if I recall, … Continue reading “Feinstein Places Hold on National Reciprocity”
The Delco Times, my home town paper, I suppose you could call it, is busy making CeaseFire PA out to be more than it really is: One of CeaseFirePA’s advertisements featured a letter to Meehan, a former U.S. attorney and Delaware County district attorney. The letter in the ad was written by Mike Carroll, former … Continue reading “Whipping Up a Non-Existent War”
I disagree with Sebastian that Sam Rohrer’s potential entry into the Senate race against Bob Casey makes him the best candidate the GOP has to run. My issues with him all center around his ability to run a viable statewide campaign. We had a preview of his attempts in the gubernatorial race last year, and … Continue reading “Is Rohrer Really the Best GOP (Potential) Candidate Against Casey?”
SayUncle in Tennessee seems to share some of my anxiety about GOP prospects in 2012. He speaks of the national race, but any national race starts in the states, and Pennsylvania, as the nation’s 6th largest state, is a good example of that problem. Bitter and I were speaking yesterday afternoon about the dire situation … Continue reading “The Republican Bench in Pennsylvania”
Looks like Specter is getting a teaching job at Penn, teaching about the relationship between Congress and the Supreme Court, which no doubt will include how Congress’ power is unlimited. Given Specter’s treatment of Court nominees who dared suggest that Congress’ power might be limited and enumerated, you know, like the constitution says, I can’t … Continue reading “Where Are They Now?”
Bloomberg’s races have been swept across the board in our favor, and I couldn’t be more pleased. In the district I grew up in, PA-07, Pat Meehan cruised to a very comfortable victory over Bryan Lentz, who actively pushed the gun control agenda. Obviously Tom Corbett creamed Onorato, Dan Onorato, who joined Lentz in pushing a … Continue reading “PA Gun Owners to Bloomberg: Sit on This and Spin!”
As Sebastian mentioned earlier, we’re out working polls right now. He’s in the northern part of the county helping out, and I’m at a poll near our home working for our Congressional candidate. I’ll try to be in and out today if there are any break times. Check in on Twitter to @bitterb for my … Continue reading “The Races We’re Watching”
I know I asked this just a couple of weeks ago, but why on earth is Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dan Onorato even trying at this point? It really just makes him look a little more pathetic that he’s trying so hard and actually slipping in the polls. Two polls released late last night & today … Continue reading “At What Point Do You Just Walk Away?”
Dennis Henigan seems pleased that Sestak got Pat Toomey to dance around the gun issue a bit. Joe Sestak is all in favor of denying people fundamental constitutional rights based on people’s name being on a secret government list. Doesn’t sound too great when you frame it that way does it? Of course, in Joe … Continue reading “I Guess It’s a Victory to Them”
Jim Geraghty thinks the fuss about Toomey’s lead evaporating is greatly overblown. I sure hope it is, but we can’t be complacent.
