Corbett basically told them that he was coming after them as soon as he got the Democrats. So what did the republicans do? They all got new upgraded computers with new hard drives. Sounds to me like destroying evidence. This is a witch hunt. Granted the Democrats who broke the law deserve to go to jail. So explain to me why someone like Gail McDermott, a small fish, broke the law, was granted immunity to be a turncoat and she still has her job and to top that off she is still the Chair of the Cumberland county democratic party. Granted the county party is nothing but a clique of Gail’s butt kissers. Really though. Why does she still have her job and why is she still a party leader? This is why Democrats always get their behinds handed to them in the Alabama section of PA. Good bye and good riddance, good luck in prison.

Which kinda makes me wonder: who's asking? So I thought I'd try what Abbie might do if he saw a webpage with "Submit a comment" on it ;) Absolutely - pretty darn RAD (as they say today), if you ask me…

Dorthy Reilly hits the nail on the head with this statement since this is the essence of politics in a democracy. The system seems to me to alienate any resemblance to honesty from the so-called democratic process. And as much as we pat ourselves on the back for the superiority of what we have in comparison to all other systems of government since the Garden of Eden the nefarious fact about what we actually have pulls the rug out from under our self-complacent delusion. Therefore if Mrs. Reilly's clarification of the presidential campaign at the moment with so many of the blind spots revealed is the situation as it actually is then she is light years ahead of the countless newspaper and TV sages who have come within my ken thus far. “…they have to go against their principals in order to get elected.”

The only problem Ralph Nader creates is for the Elite in America, who are trying to deny real choices (peace, single-payer, jobs) in November. Show me the clause in the Constitution that even establishes polical parties, let alone limits them to two in number. And why only two? Because then there is only the party in power and ONE AND ONLY ONE alternative... which becomes "Their" alternative when they control the Primary process. Oh, I guess some believe the Primary process is just fine, what with Super Delegates, convoluted schedules, stripping states of delegates only to return them when it no longer alters the outcome... Yeah, truly fair! Until elections become a contest to VOTE FOR someone, rather then VOTE AGAINST the other guy, REAL CHOICES on the ballot will always be a problem for the lesser of two Evils crowd.
