People For Life Protest Wolf

[RACJ]

How can someone from Pennsylvania have such an incorrect view of how politics works here? Progressives control the legislature? Mike Turzai is progressive? Go tell him that. I *dare *you. Speaker Smith is progressive? Dominic Pileggi and Joe Scarnati are Progressives? Seriously? Go tell Daryl Metcalfe that you think he’s a Progressive.

Corbett indeed acts like a dictator. Are you sure you’re familiar with Pennsylvania?

Oh, the poor, poor frackers. Their taxes are just too high! Every state around PA that allows fracking taxes it at higher rates. What are they going to do? Go frack somewhere else? Where? They can’t go anywhere else, because the gas is here! Thousands of jobs? Show me the numbers: how many PENNSYLVANIA residents have gotten new jobs from fracking. I’m sure there are a lot of them. But you make it look like we’ve been led to the Promised Land instead of Gasland.

Education budgets are abysmally low. The money that Corbett is putting into the system is not funding basic ed at appropriate levels. Independent, unbiased numbers demonstrate that conclusively. Check the Education Policy Leadership Center. If you’re looking at anything coming out of the Corbett administration as the truth, you are looking in the wrong place.

I can’t keep up with this thread. I haven’t the wherewithal. I don’t try to convince Right Wingers that they’re wrong, I don’t try to convince Liberal Elites that they’re wrong. There’s no point.

I’ve been a registered Republican since 1984. I’m voting against Corbett.

Not a word that I stated is untrue. All it takes is 26 senators and 102 reps to create a progessive majority. Sen. Mike Fulmer stated that there are only THREE senators, John Eichelberger, Scott Wagner and he who constitute the conservative caucus in the Pa. Senate. Former Gov. Ed Rendell used Medicaid funds to subsidize education in a one-time “stimulus” shot, which he was warned not to do. When the “stimulus” funds disappeared, it was made to look as if ed funding was cut.
As for the fracking corporations, I have shocking news: Corporations cannot pay taxes. Only people pay the freight for consumer goods. The higher the taxes, the more onerous the regulations, the higher energy costs will be for people such as us, and the lower the wages and benefits must be for employees. I don’t know about you, but my energy costs have “skyrocketed”, as Obama promised. Look it up, if necessary. The energy corporations didn’t cause our problems, the pols did, and only those who don’t mind ever-higher consumption costs which squeeze families want more of the same.
BTW, haven’t we seen enough failures over the past six years? It’s time to reject politicians such as Tom Wolf who believe that picking other people’s pockets is “charity”. Rob

Because of fracking the US has cut it emissions to 1990 levels. It has been a boon to the environment and a boon to the economy wherever it takes place, However because it is profitable for oil companies the left opposes it. Go figure

There is nothing shocking about this, Bob. Most extreme leftists lack faith in God, so they believe that caring for the emvironment gives meaning to their lives. They care not a whit if their policies impoverish humanity, as long as THEY are not among the deprived humans. Most have government jobs. Rob
