Wacka Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Love watching Hillary and Obama taking turns shooting themselves in the foot.
blzrul Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 He probably fell into a few potholes or got stuck in a two-hour delay in one of the never-ending road construction projects they have there. I could never figure out why the whole state highway system ALWAYS seemed to be under construction and then lo! one day I read of the big scandal about the road contracts etc. It seems like much of that construction wasn't even really needed... tsk tsk. Very good reason to hate PA. Of course Obama never said he hated PA, but if he did, I'd understand why. I've been to Scranton you see.

I think he just misunderstands it. In the world of politcs Pennsylvania is known as "Pittburgh and Philadelphia with Alabama inbetween".
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Pittsburgh looks like a hilly Alabama. There's simply too many roads in PA, too many that lead to nowhere. And Penn State LB Sean Lee ripped his knee to shreds today........good times.
KD in CA Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 I think he just misunderstands it. In the world of politcs Pennsylvania is known as "Pittburgh and Philadelphia with Alabama inbetween". Soooo.....where's the misunderstanding?

Back home in Erie the 4 seasons were: Winter Almost Winter Still Winter Road Construction
Keukasmallies Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 So, if one of us says the "...religion, bitter...anti-immigration...." thing, we're cute, or offering a true snapshot of some in PA. If Obama says similar things, he's dissin' all Americans....? The field ain't zackly level, is it?
Lori Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks for slapping me with that broad brush, Senator. You just earned John McCain a $50 donation.
In space no one can hear Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Soooo.....where's the misunderstanding? He didn't play to his audience like Hillary is doing. On a recent campaign stop Hillary: described herself as a pro-gun churchgoer, recalling that her father taught her how to shoot a gun when she was a young girl and said that her faith “is the faith of my parents and my grandparents.” Bubba, Hillary, Guns and Church.

justnzane Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I think it is a bit of an overblown statement. Seriously, there are a lot of disenfranchised bitter people that hate the system, and he did make a good point to say that they have fallen through the cracks of the last two administrations. Besides, I take nothing from the Huffington Post too seriously, as it clearly has a conservative bias. Point that the Post has no grounding in reality: They took a Daily Show segment that ripped on Fox News seriously
Lori Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 How's does the pony express get in those canoes to pick up your mail? :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: The canoes come up the river from the Pony Express outpost in Olean. Besides, we got this here Internet thingy now...

DC Tom Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: The canoes come up the river from the Pony Express outpost in Olean. Besides, we got this here Internet thingy now... I actually thought he was doing pretty good until he got to the "clinging to their religion and guns" faux paux.
olivier in france Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 where do you some hatred there? bitterness does exist in those regions and is easily understandable. you don't need a degree in sociology to understand that...
Lori Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I actually thought he was doing pretty good until he got to the "clinging to their religion and guns" faux paux. For someone who neither owns a firearm nor worships any god, I get tired of being told those are the reasons I registered as a Republican. (And no, just because there's an R after my name in the registration book doesn't mean I voted for Bush II, either. It means I like voting in primaries that actually mean something, in a district where Rs outnumber Ds by 45,000 votes.) Bitter? You make the call.

John Adams Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 For someone who neither owns a firearm nor worships any god, I get tired of being told those are the reasons I registered as a Republican.

I just wish the Conservative movement (small gov't, lower taxes, less gov't intervention) was strong enough that it didn't need to be bedfellows with the religious Right. The religious big-motherment side of the Reps that legislates morality is frankly a lot scarier to me than the Dem version of motherment that spends us into oblivion in social welfare programs. I am leaning McCain at this point. I like him better than Bush, Bush, Kerry, or Gore. He's the only candidate who's a free trader. Check. He's the best of all 3 for saying no to special interests. Check. He (reluctantly) wants to keep the Bush tax cuts. Check. He wants to stay in Iraq forever if necessary. Big Uncheck. John McCain. Not perfect, but palatable. (He can feel free to use that line if he wants.)
