RSSHey, This Is Pennsylvania After All So Take What You Can Get
J.J. Jackson | September 27, 2010
Having grown up and lived in Pennsylvania all my life I have never quite figured out why the voters here are as liberal as they are on a whole. We elect outright liberal Republicans (like Arlen Specter) and detached from reality governors like “Fast” Eddie Rendell in election after election statewide. Locally outside of the lightly populated “T” in the middle of the state most township boards and bodies are stacked with people who really do think that government is the best solution to any problem that arises. Heck, even when we elect a Republican like Rick Santorum they are still moderate wanna-be liberals who spend money in unconstitutional ways.
Cities like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have been in the hands of liberal Democrats for so long. And in that time the disastrous results to their economies have decimated these once prosperous cities. Now they are left to watch their tax base dwindle as people either move out all together or are replaced by lower and lower income persons seeking more and more of the freebies that are promised by those liberals currently in charge.
But sit around any bar and you hear the same complaints from the same people that keep electing these scum every year. What it always boils down to however is that the excuse is made that the problem is everyone else’s representative is corrupt and not the liberal supported by the man or woman currently lodging, often loudly, the complaint.
A month ago Rasmussen conducted a poll that shows that 57% of the voters in the Commonwealth are certain that members of Congress are “willing to sell their vote for either cash or a campaign contribution”.
Rasmussen notes however that this is still below the national average of 70% on this belief. Even more remarkably the survey notes that 61% believe that it is likely their own rep has sold their vote and sold out their constituency.
Wow. For Pennsylvania we’ll gladly take this awaken by the voters here. God knows we need people to start realizing that it is their own Rep and Senator who is part of the problem.
Don’t expect too much though. Most of the members of Congress from Pennsylvania will no doubt be returned to their current offices. Why? Because they might be crooks but they are their crooks and that that is the way it has always been done around here.
