Senator Casey Stirs Local Debate Over Contraception Vote

[Mc Mike]

17. The West PA and West VA Dems are almost repug-level stupid.

I used to be repped in the US Congress by Bill Coyne, before western PA 'lost population' and consolidated Coyne's district with Doyle's. Now Doyle reps me. Coyne was a pro-choice Dem Congressperson, and was re-elected for decades.

Less than 20 years ago, while the rest of the nation had a pro-choice Dem running for office versus an anti-choice Repug, our region had a pro-choice Repug (Specter) vs. 'pro-life' Dems. Our region's Dems proudly jumped on board the sinking ship or losing side of the culture wars. It may be due to the Santorum - Opus Dei factor, though the Catholic church is the whore of babylon and the popes are the 'anti-christ', according to nazi repug prod rednecks.

I back Doyle against the repug challengers, and he is largely unchallenged. But Doyle has lived with the fundy-Christian 'Family' at C-Street, unlike every other Dem but one in congress. I've also campaigned, on behalf of the Dems, for Casey vs. Santorum, and Altmire vs. Hart, successfully, for decades.

Look at the geo-political area around the Mon and Ohio Valleys. Murtha was a very conservative Dem, but Rep. Critz is having him roll over in his grave. The conservative machine Dem Robert Byrd is replaced by Joe Manchin, who goes target-practicing on Democratic legislation as a campaign photo-op. Altmire is far better than Melissa Hart, but so is a cockroach. And Bob Casey is better than Santorum, but he ought to quit kow-towing to the insane repug Catholic Bishops, who have become fascists in the last 15 years, probably because they're following the money, like all good whores. Honestly, I say this with all due respect as a practicing Dem Catholic, (who isn't worried about receiving the Communion cracker).

It's amazing to see how our side can drop the ball around here on pro-life vs. pro-choice Womans' issues. How did Specter keep getting elected around here, over and over, as a pro-choice Jewish repug? I call triple bullshit on my region's Democratic and Catholic gender politics. Women and labor are on the same side here, screw Ratzinger and Zubic.
