Wont Get Fooled Again
In honor of Thomas "I gave Skrepenak thousands of dollars" Cooney being appointed the new Luzerne County Commissioner. He has also been the beneficiary of numerous county contracts. I would love to see the rest of his political donations!!!

The Next Luzerne County Commissioner
Does anybody really believe in the farce at the courthouse that is being perpetrated today? I sure as hell don't and I'll tell you why. I am a boss and I have literally interviewed hundreds of potential employees. I know how long a job interview takes. Even when hiring an unskilled position it takes more than a few minutes. Why do I bring this up? Because our judges are going to interview over 60 people today for the open commissioner slot. They started at 10:00 this morning. If they only spend 10 minutes with each candidate, they will need over 10 hours just for the interviews. That assumes no breaks, no lunch, no hitches. What time do you think they will announce they have voted on and selected the "new" commissioner??
What a complete crock of shit!!!!
What a complete crock of shit!!!!

A Paige from a very old book
I wanted to write about our illustrious Demoncrat controlled Senate passing yet another $1.1 TRILLION spending bill but alas I had the misfortune to read the story in the Times Leader today about Chris Paige.
I have written before and am sure I will again that I am tired of dirty politics and mudslinging. Mr. Paige instead of coming out and stating his qualifications chose instead to dig deep in the mud pit and start slinging. Whether he is correct about Barletta is irrelevant. Mr Paige, if your qualifications are that much better, why aren't you running on them?
Not so long ago, we had 2 guys run in the GOP primary. That race turned very nasty (at least on one side) and left it impossible to win a seat back that has always been a GOP slot. Is that what you are after here Mr. Paige? It is a mistake and a very foolhardy one at that. You have more or less guaranteed that people that are tired of this reprehensible bullshit will not support you. Count me as one of them.
The funny thing is, that last time around, the D's had a huge advantage thanks to Bush the RINO's actions. This time, people are going throw every bum in DC out. That includes Kanjo, Carney, Casey, and Snarlin Arlen. They have been at the helm while things have gone remarkably worse and have in fact increased the national debt to a level that the country is extremely unlikely to be able to recover from. Worse still, there is no end in sight to their spend and spend plans. This election cycle will see the GOP take back quite a few seats. I just hope you aren't sitting in one Mr. Paige!

Carolee Medico-Olenginski's Comments
Setting aside her complaints that her old/new office isn't a palace, and gasp, the rug needs cleaned, it is time to set the record straight on her comments about the County Republican Party and Club GOP.
I am very active in the party and have first hand knowledge of its operations. First of all, you do not have to pay any money to be a member of Club GOP. You can get a membership just by volunteering a very small amount of time. Second, $50 for a membership if you choose to pay rather than volunteer, equates to about 13 cents per day. Does she really think that is way too expensive for anybody to afford? If your financial situation is that dire, I sincerely doubt you have any thoughts about being active in politics. Club GOP was formed to raise the money needed to be a viable party and actually recruit and support candidates for office and to let every registered Republican take an ownership role in the party. In essence, to be the fabled insider that has access to party officials. I ask you, is that a bad thing??? Our headquarters actually has a phone bank for candidates to use now. If you ever priced such an operation, you know that any candidate for a local office could not afford it. That brings me to the next comment this dried up hag made. She claims she got no support from the county party. This at best is a gross misrepresentation and at worst, an outright lie!! The phone bank was used to make calls on her behalf before the election. It was staffed by an all volunteer crew that gave a couple weeks of their time to make those calls. They also made calls on behalf of all of our candidates. By the way, I give a hearty thank you to all that helped!!
Carolee expected the county party to fund her entire campaign or at least the majority of it. The county party gave no financial support to any candidate. The reason for that is quite simple, there was no money to give. Club GOP is in its infancy and continues to grow despite the efforts of people like Carolee and the faction of the party she belongs to. You see, the former party elite wants to return to their glory days when the county party was their own personal fiefdom. The most common comment I get when I ask somebody to join Club GOP is "We have a county Republican Party?". The reason for this is that the powers that once ran the party did everything in secret. There was no party headquarters. Meetings were done in secret at a varied set of locations that only the "IN" crowd were invited to.
The next nutcase comment to spill from the wacko's lips was about the Michael Steele event. She claims it was a private function for Club GOP members only. She is partly correct. All elected officials as well as all Rep. candidates were invited to attend. The reason it was not a public event had nothing to do with the county party. Mr. Steele specifically requested a non-public audience and that only members of Club GOP be invited. I had lunch with Mr. Steele before the event and asked the obvious question, Why? He told me that he really likes the idea of Club GOP and wants to see more local parties across the country do the same. Make everybody an insider and everybody will be happier. How exactly she thought the county chairman was going to dictate terms to the national chairman eludes me. Probably because I'm not batshit crazy. Did I agree with making it a member only event? Sure I did. Every club has to offer its members something tangible for their membership or else why have a club at all. As an example,I joined Fox Hill Country Club because I like the idea of being able to play a round of golf in well under 4 hours. You know how that is possible?? It is a private course and you have to be a member to play there. Ergo, the course isn't crowded wall to wall like most public courses in our area.
Carolee was invited to every single event the party had. She showed up at only a couple. I personally witnessed party officials call and leave Carolee numerous voice mails which she never bothered to return. She actually has claimed the party worked against her when the exact opposite is true. Her and the faction she belongs to actively work against us at every turn in hopes of returning to those old days I mentioned. That will never happen and if it does I will leave the party. You see, I like it that everybody has a chance to be on the inside. I like openness. I like transparency. I like meetings that are at our headquarters and not at a bar or someones house.
There some in the party leadership that will be very angry about this piece. To them I say just this; The record needed to be set straight. To all that read this, these are my personal opinions and none of this piece has anything to do with the county party.
To Carolee I ask just a couple things; What is in it for you to be actively working against the party? and Why do you keep using your ex-husbands last name? Is it in the deluded hope that somebody will think you are a Medico?? You are not, you are a very bitter person that should make their agenda public.

Judge Toole Goes Down
As I wrote those many months ago that he would, Judge Toole has gone down in disgrace with Ciavarella and Conahan. He has agreed to plead guilty to douchebaggery in the 1st degree.
I say good riddance and anxiously await to see if one more goes down or if a pass has been given!!!

Pres. Obama's Speech part 2
I didn't catch any direct lies last night and am glad that the pres. has promised a mid next year withdrawal. Many are saying that he was wrong to set a withdrawal time line, I disagree. We will not win on any of the 3 fronts we are currently fighting on. It is sad to say but nonetheless true. The Soviets tried to win in Afghanistan for 8 long years and they were hampered by trying to look like the good guys in their tactics and policies. They lost, and so shall we.
I think our method of fighting in Pakistan is a far more productive tactic. We are using predator drones to carry out surgical strikes. We are using special warfare operators on fast in, fast out strikes. While these are great at minimizing our troop casualties, they do nothing to win the war.
Our Rules of Engagement need to be changed. Ask any front line Iraq or Afghanistan war vet if they knew where the terrorists were operating out of and storing their weapons. Everybody there knows, they are storing them in mosques. Take the safe havens away from them. Punish any country that sponsors terrorists. In that last sentence, I include leaders like Saddam Hussein that pay U.S.$25,000. to the families of those that "martyr" themselves. Fight them exactly by the same rules they fight us by. Soon enough their stomach would sour on being a terrorist.
As for Obama getting NATO to commit a sizable force to help in the battle, I say good luck Mr. President. They are fair weather friends that also happen to suffer from an overdose of political correctness. Although maybe if he goes over the pond and apologizes for America's greatness a few more times, he'll have that luck.

Pres. Obama's Speech
I am going to watch it tonight just to see what new lies he gets caught telling.
When Joe Wilson called him a liar he was vilified. It turns out Joe was telling the truth and Obama was in fact lying. The Pres. told us all on national television that neither illegal aliens or abortions would be covered by Obamacare. As it happens, both are. The abortion issue is causing several democrats to turn tail and run from the bill. The illegal alien coverage has Reid and Pelosi saying that them being covered is just an unintended provision in the bill. I really cannot wait to see how they try to spin it now.
Tonight though, the Pres. will be talking about Afghanistan and his strategery or lack thereof on further prosecution of that war. I have a little history lesson for the Pres. If the Soviets, when they were at their strongest, got their asses handed to them there, how do we plan on winning? The Soviets fought with the gloves off so to speak and still lost. We are fighting to be as politically correct as we can and we will lose!! My advice, get us the fark out of there. I doubt that is in Obama's plan even though he promised exactly that on the campaign trail. I think he will go over there and personally apologize to them for America's greatness as he has in so many other countries around the world. I just hope he gives them a very large dose of the special koolaid beforehand.
