Election 2010- The people Have Spoken

A hearty congratulations to all of the winners!!

This was by far the nastiest campaign cycle I can remember. There was enough mud slung to accommodate all the pigs on earth. I honestly believe that those that were the worst offenders paid a hefty price per gallon of mud. Think Eachus, Kanjo, and Carney.

The reality is the American people were voting as much on Pres. Obama's agenda as they were the candidates. I hope that those newly elected and those sitting incumbents have heard the message. It couldn't be more clear that the American people do not want our great nation drifting into the abyss that the far left seems to think that everybody wants. Fact is, as proven by the election results, the overwhelming majority wanted the brakes firmly applied to Obama's whacked out vision for the country.

I sincerely hope they all got the message and live up to the promise of representing their constituents rather voting the way their party tells them to. This goes out to both democrats and republicans. You have to now know that we are watching and we will send you packing as well should you forgot who it is you actually work for.

I honestly cannot wait for the Presidential address at 1:00pm. Will Pres. Obama acknowledge the overwhelming rejection of his agenda or will he simply write it off to the people not being patient enough??? I have many friends from the D side of the aisle and most said they'd give Obama 2 years to accomplish some good. Two years came and two years went. The only thing this administration has accomplished is America being in far worse shape than it was.

If those newly elected and sitting incumbents work for a better America together, we will all be better off.

Chris Hackett's Chickens Have Come Home to Roost in the 10TH Congressional District

I really hate to quote His Most Unholiness Rev. Jerkymiah Wright but it is fitting.

Mr. Hackett won the primary through a series of slanderous, misleading, and patently false attack ads against Dan Meuser, Pride Mobility, and Pride's employees. Now he is crying his eyes out because Chris Carney is doing the same exact thing to him. Sucks doesn't it, Chris?

Dan Meuser was far and away the stronger, more honorable candidate in the 10TH. I don't say that because he is my friend. I say it because I mean it. Dan never resorted to the slimy tactics of the Hackett campaign and ultimately it cost him his chance to run against Carney. Dan was the only candidate that had a shot of unseating Carney. He had the grassroots support that would've been necessary. Hackett can't even get campaign contributions from the prominent local families. That should tell you all something about him!

Carney is destroying him in literally every poll. I know the poll that really matters will be held on 11-04 but all the local polls have Carney winning huge. I doubt that they are all wrong.

The end result of Mr. Hackett's campaign? Carney will retain the seat and will probably hold it for a very long time. He will not be anywhere near as vulnerable the next time he is up for election. Congratulations Mr. Hackett on your achievement.

The Bailout is Voted Down, See How Congress Voted!!!!!

Kanjorski voted aye
Carney voted no

The only suprise there is that Carney voted against Pelosi.

I may need to see a shrink!!!!!!

While listening to Uber Lapdog Carney on Liberal Loonie Radio( Nancy and Kevin on WILK), I heard something that not only made sense, I actually agree with him to a degree about it. He said he was for more drilling as long as the oil that came from new wells wasn't for export. He was still spouting the democrat party lie about the 68 million acre leases which of course is raw stupidity at its finest, but I do like the idea of keeping the oil here at least for the near term. This will have an immediate impact on every Americans pocket. Although one point he brought up has me thinking. He said the new wells are on land that every American owns(which is true, shocking that he said anything true, I know). Does this mean we will get a royalty check like Alaskans get?

I am curious about something though. From the Exalted Obama and Queen Mother Pelosi right on down to the likes of Superdouche Kanjorski, the dems are all changing their tune on oil. Can it be that they are finally grasping that people are sick of them doing nothing to relieve the strain on America's citizens? Are they finally going to try to listen to their constituents? Nope, it's just political expediency. You see, they never thought McCain could close the gap on The Most Righteous, Obama. They are running scared. They regret their bullshit rhetoric and pray that everybody forgets and forgives it. I hope they are doing too little, too late

The unfortunate realities of politics

I spent a portion of my afternoon with Dan Meuser. I have considered Dan a friend for nigh on twenty years. That had literally no bearing on my support for him in the 10TH primary. Had his principles and morals been diametrically opposed to my own, I would've buried him in my blog. The fact is, I have always respected Dan and after today, I respect him even more. He is a man of unquestionable honor that chose the high road in a nasty campaign and was punished for it. I directly asked him why he didn't use the dirt that those of us in the know, know about Hackett. His response; " You know I'm not that kind of guy". By God, that is what I want in my Congressman. The 10TH had the opportunity to have an honorable man represent them and we blew it!!!! Many of you voters in the 10Th listened to an unmitigated load of bullshit from Hackett's hatchet men and voted for the wrong man. If any of you think I write this piece out of bitterness, you are wrong. Dan would've been the kind of leader we need in the 10TH. He would not have been some left coast liberal's lapdog like Carney. Hackett changes his opinions depending on who he is speaking to. Sadly, he is the only Republican running. Granted, he won the primary. The how he won it is what sticks in my craw. Chris, you did an incredible amount of damage to my party with your campaign. Yes, I said my party. I don't believe you are a true Republican. I know you are not a true conservative. I've known you for quite a while. I have written that the party needs to mend the fences and get behind you in the general election. I think I may have been wrong.

The Meuser family has made a huge investment in our area. They offer real living wage jobs and opportunity to make a very comfortable income. They do not play favorites based on familial connections. They promote based on merit. They are an honorable family that has done much for the valley. They did not deserve to be called criminals. They did not deserve to be called liars or murderers. For the lies that Hackett's hatchets told, we should shun them. We should not do business with them. We should treat them like the scoundrels they are. They are less than scum. They are smegma. I call on my fellow business people to show our distaste for his campaign's behavior. Rant over.

To Kar; I was wrong and am sorry.
To Gort; Thank you for the friendship and intelligent discourse.
To Rightwinger; It's been 41.5 years that we know each other, hasn't it? Let's play golf.
To my loyal readers; Sorry I didn't coin any new nouns or verbs. This one meant a lot to me.
To Dan Meuser; You, Rightwinger, Kar, and Gort42 should play golf. I hope you invite me.

A lot to write about today

It just keeps getting better and better in Luzerne County if you happen to like to write about corruption. Judge Conahan's brother-in-law is the latest beneficiary of our tax dollars. Over $800,000. in the last 4 years. Two hundred thou per year!!!! Holy marthafocker, I am doing something wrong in my life. I need to get myself a relative/buddy in power at the court house.

Scrapheap points out that Urban recommended somebody to bid on supplying the prison with produce. Unlike Scrap, Urban's boy did a whopping $5,000. with the prison. For those who don't remember, Scrap's boy did $700 thou and change. yep Greg, Urban's on the same level as you, not. By the way Greg, how much of the $700,000 did you get?????????????

Our wonderful congressman from the 10TH is showing that he really represents his constituents. He is one of those strange beings known as a super delegate that will actually pick the next democrat to run in the general election. His district voted overwhelmingly for Billary Hatestherod,man Clinton. Yet Carney won't say who he is going to back. I think the only reason for this is that he didn't get his orders from Pelosi yet.

Media Bias does exist I heard it on the radio today!

This morning while listening to Kevin Lynn hammer at Dan Meuser, I couldn't help but compare the Pinko's questions to Dan with other politicos he has had on. Chris Carney calls in and the hardest question he gets from Pinkie is "Congressman Carney, may I lick the sweat from your ass?" Senator Casey calls in, the hardest question he gets is "what's your favorite flavor of ice cream?" Skrep calls in and he gets "Greg, would you consider dating a middle aged, pinko, radio talk show host?" I think I may see a pattern here. If you are a democrat, you get a pass from the pinkster.

I could be wrong but.......

Unless I am badly confused, Dan Meuser wasn't the president of Pride 12 years ago. As a matter of fact, I think he was in sales for the company building up their sales in California back then. You would think the geniuses running Carney and Hackett's campaign would have done their homework.

Mud, mud, and more mud

I've been travelling and just got back to good old NEPA. Fortunately, it seems the only thing I've missed is the all out assault on Meuser. The current attack scheme is centered around an event that happened in 1996. (I know the paper says 1997 but that was when it was settled not when the infraction occurred). I've already written about it and won't bother to do so again. What I do want to write about is the piece in the Times Liberal today about the "illegals". I wonder who has the juice in this race to get that in the paper. Sorry, Mr. Hackett, but I doubt you do. This was definitely the workings of Pelosi's Pet. My question to you Sir (pronounced cur), is this the best mud you can come up with? I would think a former intelligence officer would be able to come up with something a little juicier. I mean after all, according to your own party you gave false intelligence to the President of these United States, Congress, and the Senate. Can't you make up something that titillates the mouth breathers even more? Can't you do a little better Lt. Commander? I hope you do read this as I would love to read Pelosi's, I mean your response.

A lot going on

Sweeney finally figured out that he had the proverbial snowball's chance and dropped out. Smart move Vinny, and remember, Zen said it would be like this!

It appears Obama Bin Racecard and Billary have kissed and made up. They also agreed to quit playing the racecard. I think that'll last a week or two and they'll be back to arguing which of them is more in tune with "plight" of African-Americans. The reality is neither have a clue what it is like to be poor or black. What they have a clue about is how to spin and say what they think will garner the support of limo-liberals, the Hollywood elite, eyc, etc, ad nauseum to raise even more money and to further the class warfare they need to keep the masses in the dark about how wealthy they really are.

It seems the shenanigans in Luzerne County won't be stopping any time soon. I truly don't get it. The power elite of the Democrat Machine are all caught with both hands in the cookie jar and still they refuse to straighten up and fly right. Listen long and hard County Officials; we are all watching, we are all disgusted. Your continuing abuse of both office and power reads like a fifth rate political intrigue novel. I'll take guess or two as to your next ingenious moves. Hmmm, next controller, Augie Piazza or Wil "Sue the City" Toole. You will do your best to intimidate Mr. Grier (sp?). You will continue to ignore the debit card debacle in hopes that it will go away. It won't. If for no other reason than avoiding another scandal, will you jerks please try to do what is in the interest of the people. If you can't do that, please be honest and do the right thing. Like that'll ever happen.

The President announces an economic stimulus package and who scampers out from his master's legs, yep, Carney. What did Mr. Lapdog have to say, he parroted Pelosi. What a complete and utter tool. The same goes for Kanjo. I cannot wait for Mayor Lou to take a buggy whip to Kanjo's arse in an election. On the bright side, our front runners for the 10TH Congressional District both had great comments about the President's plan in the paper!!! Way to go gentlemen.

The Republican shambles in Luzerne County

At a time when we need to close ranks and come out in force we have the same fractious bullshit that consistantly prevents us from taking control. I read several other blogs and cannot believe that the attack dogs are already running free. The worst part of this is that the dogs are supposedly Republicans. Some of the slime that has been written is in fact total bs. I googled Pride for sexual harassment suits and found nothing. I did find the chair that caught fire lawsuit. If anybody can find a link to harassment lawsuits, please feel free to post it. As far as Hackett winning the wedding lottery and getting that business for free, again, total crap. I know Chris and the business he took over from his father in law doesn't even bear a passing resembalance to the business he runs today. He grew that to the behemoth it is today. Not his father in law!!!! As for Sweeney, he isn't even a real Republican. He switched parties fairly recently. Mr. Swiderski's bankruptcy has nothing to do with whether or not he can or should win. Nothing, nada, zero, zilch!!!! As for the other couple guys running, nobody has heard of them. They are not viable candidates.

Like it or not, to unseat Carney will take a lot of money. As I have previously stated, we realistically have only 2 guys that can raise the coin needed to get the job done. If you want to be represented by the left coast's lap dog, that's your choice. I don't. The very nature of our party in Luzerne county is to divide into cliques. I know, I've gone to party meetings. Those meetings are a joke!! The clique that runs them neither wants nor takes ideas from those outside of their insider group. Is it any wonder why we're always an also ran in this county?? Cliques are for high school folks, not for adults. When our field is finally narrowed down I hope we can pull our heads out of our collective asses long enough to win back the 10Th. Maybe, just maybe, after we accomplish that we can take back our county.

My $.02 on the 10th

As has been discussed on better blogs than this, Mr. Swiderski has had to reveal a painful event in his life. He admitted he declared bankruptcy. As a small guy myself, I have been close to bankruptcy myself. Fortunately, I was able to work my way out of it. I remember vividly the pain and humiliation I felt when I was in that stage of my life. The reality is, that in biz, sometimes you have to make very hard choices. The worse reality is that in politics, every aspect of your life is held up to scrutiny that no normal person would ever want focused on their own life. Every person on this planet has things in their past that they aren't proud of. That said, isn't it amazing that the average joe or jane revels in the misfortune of someone in the public eye? You can blame it on reality TV, but I think it speaks volumes about our society as a whole. When the sad events of another persons life are what brings you joy, you are truly a waste of space and atmosphere.

The reality is that Mr. Swiderski had very little chance of winning in the 10th as he does not have the money raising capacity of the 2 front runners. Let's face facts, to win this seat, you need major money and Meuser and Hackett have more money in their front pocket than Mr. S was likely to raise. I really don't know which of the front runners is the right man for the job and certainly won't endorse either until I see them debate. I know both of them very well and for many years. They are both intelligent, well spoken, and far and away, better set to represent our district than Pelosi's lap dog. By the way, does anybody have a pic of Carney curled up at her feet with her scratching him behind the ears???? There is a reward for that pic!!!!!!!!!!!
