.....With bombers & sharp-shooters; aka terrorism.
There's a good reason you're now on my pwned belt. Moronic, sad, spam like this is yet another.Get yourself a dictionary, Skippy.
You should be a little-more concerned with your masochistic-nature.....
I know Reading and its history pretty well, and most of the rest of your region too. It's a hillbilly thing.
The railroads servicing the steel mills and coal mines have been gone a long time, as have the canals. Nothing in your neck of the woods has arisen to take their place. I'm in the agricultural, rural middle of the state where mining died, then transportation died, then textiles died, and the last of the industries mostly closed their doors one after another over the last 3 years. Truck and dairy farming ain't what it used to be as far as family income either.
What I want to know isn't the history of the long slow Ag and Rust Belt decline over the last 40-50 years in most of the state or to blame it on one party, both parties have catered to the money and votes in the cities and ignored the rest of us. What I want to know is what Toomey or any of the others plan to do as a voice to make it better. Plans, strategies, goals, real policy proposals....we hear all kinds of bumper sticker bs, but when it comes right down to it what if anything do we have from these folks that's concrete? They ALL pay occasional lip service and then vote party line. Who gives a fuck about party when there are no jobs?
So...you're championing Toomey. Personally I see him as Santorum Lite, and remember his days as a straight religious righty wedge issue culture warrior before his businesses failed and he was steered into Club for Growth to be remade as a fiscal con. For the record, I didn't like Sestak either. Just another party line hack IMO. I prefer a "leader" who's at least shaken hands at some point with an independent thought - something severely lacking in the 2012 elections on both sides of the aisle.
But you seem to like the guy, so what exactly has he proposed to help PA that gives you a basis for your faith in him? 'Cuz I've heard nuttin' but slogans.

I worked for Toomey's Senate campaign back in the '04 primary against RINO Specter. We lost by a hair, twas a disappointing night.
I've met em personally, he's smart, humble, charismatic, and just an all round good guy from what I gather.
I support him for alotta reasons, in order:
-Abortion, sorry, but this will always mean more to me than the economy, life means more than $. He's solidly, and proudly pro-life, and so am I.
-He'll fight against Obama's socialism, his foreign policy weakness, etc. He supported DADT repeal, which heartens me in that he don't seem as anti-gay as I feared.
-Fiscally, he'll fight to stop outsourcing, as he knows how bad it is, he's lived where that's hit. He'll fight to keep taxes low for all of us, against Obamacare, etc.
There's more, but that's enough for me, if it aint for you, well shit sorry man.
Hope I answered your question tho.

Not really. What I want to know and have wanted to know since the campaigns started is the big answer to the big question: How?
How does a freshman senator indebted to the party for the last several years of his livelihood and the financial and logistical support they gave him in the campaign plan to buck the party line and work to put an end to encouraging outsourcing, which the GOP officially considers the free market at work?
The rest is straight party line mixed with anti-Obama propaganda, which I would expect from somebody in his position. But the biggest question has never been answered.
Nah, that was Rick Santorum. Who also pulled quite a few Pat Robertsonisms in his time in office, dead baby creepiness and lying about maintaining a residence in the state aside. Oh, and then billing the state he represented but didn't live in anymore for his kids' private school tuition. Bob Casey knocked him off, although by that point a dead dog probably could have done it.
On a side note, Ole Rick's now reportedly planning a little tour through Iowa.
Why do you guys always get hung up on abortion? I would rather we create jobs, than deal with abortion.
A legit question rather than a flaming drive by.........
