Hey, am I nuts or is the Democratic Presidential nomination sucking the oxygen out of political discourse on this or any other political blog site? Don’t we have to expand our majority in the Senate? Don’t we have to expand our majority in the house? Are we missing something?

In all the discussion and analysis of the coming PA Primary all of the focus seems to be on the Philly burbs and Pittsburgh. What people outside PA may not know is that Republicans are switching parties in order to have a voice as to who the next President of the United States will be.

Oh by the way we also have a congressional race going here...

PA09 Cleaning up PA

Congressional Candidate Tony Barr is cleaning up PA a little at a time. Tony is starting with his own face. Voters have chided Tony for his chin whiskers and man of the people that he is, Tony has finally come clean, so to speak. Here is the first official commercial that will actually air.

I’m sitting in the Blair County Democratic Office as I type this and a voter is looking over my shoulder at the video, "He’s got my vote, I’ll tell ya that." "Mr. Barr has my support 100%"

This is a campaign blog.

One of the few good lines I ever heard from the comic Gallagher was this, "If the opposite of Pro is Con then the opposite of Progress must be Congress." Now, I don’t know where Gallagher lives but I’ll bet that his district has a Representative a lot like Bill Shuster (R PA09)

Cleaning up the mess left to us by Bush/Cheney/McCain/ Shuster, et all, will require diligence. It means embracing the 50 State strategy even in deeply red districts like the PA-09th. It means removing the obstacles standing in the way of progress. It means getting rid of roadblock republicans like Bill Shuster. You can help.

Well, unless the something extraordinary happens in Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania, it looks like we got ourselves a presidential nominee. Now, let’s look at Congress. If you live in PA, you know and despise the name of Bill Shuster, but for some reason people vote for him anyway, let’s look at how he votes.

Let's see here, a wild card, 5th seat, ball club who began the season 0-2, whose coach had to pratically beg for his job at the end of last season, whose quarterback had been derided by almost every sports pundit in media just beat the perfect up till now, 18-0 practically perfect unstoppable juggernaut machine, quarterbacked by the boy-toy stud of all time to win the superbowl.

Don't tell me a big underdog can't get it done.

Look those of you in safe Democratic Congressional districts, and those of you who believe in the 50 state strategy, look at the PA 9th.

Help us get rid of the idiot we got, read on and I'll tell you why...

This is a activists blog.

there was a recent poll where 1049, at last count, voted that you live in a safe Dem seat, this diary is directed to you.

So there are 1049 of you out there who have the privilidge of living in a safe Democratic seat. It must be F'n nice. Here in the PA 09th we toil under the tyranny of a mindless republican't nincompoop. Bill Shuster.

Never heard of him, well there's a reason for that, bad boy billy is merely one of the zombie-like neo-cons that crooned Gloria Estefan's "anything for you" while the Goper's had a majority and now howls out the Grouch Marx clasic "Whatever it is, I'm against it" when any Democrat proposes anything.

what does this have to do with you? read on...

In order to show his Patriotism, as a testament of his appreciation for the sacrifice made by the victims of Flight 93, Bill Shuster (R PA-09) wants to expose the citizens of StonyCreek Township PA to toxic exposure to Manganese.

In Michael Moore’s SICKO, Former British MP Tony Benn, tell us that a population that is deprived of hope and kept in fear is more easily ruled.

If you live in the PA-09th, the number of business that have left our region cannot easily be counted and unions are losing support and political force. The loss of the railroad, jobs and decades of GOP rule at the state, county and local levels have stripped a once vibrant region of its hope. Now, with the realization that Iraq is a disaster and support for chicken hawks fading, the local wing-nuts are using immigration as a tool to dominate the good people of the PA-09th.

A few brave souls, however, are still uncowed by the Republican grip on local politics...

Cossposted at My DD

I’m a Pennsylvania state employee. I’m one of the employees who got "furloughed" today. Not only am I not angry about this, I’m not even surprised. Politics in Harrisburg have been ruled by the tyrannical Republican’t ol boy network for a very long time. With the political demise of Capo di Tutti Capi Bob Jubelirer and a few of his upper level minions, the PA GOP was been in a bit of a tailspin. Now that we Dems have a slim majority in the PA house and a Democratic Governor who doesn’t have to run for re-election, a showdown was inevitable. The GOP led PA senate is trying to re-establish it’s former glory and the Dems "are mad as hell and aren’t going to take this anymore". A showdown had to happen.

There are 725 days until Election Day 2008. Right now in Altoona, and Duncansville and Claysburg and bunch of other small Pennsylvania townships that most of you never heard of, a very weary group of stalwart volunteers is organizing a letter writing campaign. We will be writing to Rahm Emanuel, we will be writing to Howard Dean and you will see diary after diary on this page and more than a few others asking for your support of Democratic Congressional Candidate in the PA-09th Tony Barr.
