As Goes One Republican Editor in PA, So Goes the Country?
In an editorial titled "Time To Switch Teams," a Times Herald-Record business editor announces he why won't vote (as he always has) Republican in the fall:
The reason Republicans are bent out of shape is that this Foley scandal is the proverbial last straw. We've had it. The out-of-control spending. The earmarks. The graft with the lobbyists. The arrogance. The abrogation of principles that Goldwater, Reagan and others worked decades to spread.
The Republicans will lose the House in November. Absent big changes, I have to say they deserve to. I will help them lose it, because in my own congressional district, Pennsylvania's 10th, I'm voting for Democrat Chris Carney. As the campaign literature for Carney slyly notes, he's been married for 18 years to his college sweetheart.
Why might he note that? Because his opponent, and the incumbent, Republican Don Sherwood, engaged in a five-year affair in Washington with a mistress some three decades his junior.
My father had choices. The Republicans offer me candidates who can't even keep their pants on. I've had it.
(Great. But why "slyly"?)

I'm glad a few of their ranks are noticing that crooks have overtaken their party... interesting to see Republicants being referred to as the party that can't "keep its pants on" now... somewhere, Bill Clinton is breathing a satisfied sigh...

Gosh, another one finally wakes up. I've been married for nearly thirty years to one man, and I'm a liberal Democrat. People who have ethics and morals don't have to pass laws to force others to regulate their own lives. We know how to behave as good citizens. If the modern "conservative Republican" can't keep it in his/her pants, he/she blames EVERYONE but themselves, to the point of forcing others to live by the same narrow laws they need to not misbehave. So much for the party of "personal responsibility".

Foley is a distraction. The real issues are the complete incompetence in all areas of government.

The punchlines, they just write themselves.

He said it was done "slyly" because Carney (wisely) didn't actually come out and mention Sherwood's affair. He simply mentions his own family and his values and knows that voters in the district will see the difference. Sherwood is toast. Hallelujah!
