Repub Hypocrisy at Polls in PA

[bleedingheart]

My mom went to vote today and since PA has a big Repub race there was a guy handing out repub literature. So he asks her if she is a repub...and she says..." What do I look like one?" (and she cringes..)

So when she comes out of the polling place he starts yelling at my elderly mother and blathers on about how he is proud to be a DittoHead ...

Well funny thing...he tells my mom he is for low taxes...(typical repub line)...but then mentions that his wife is a local public school teacher....and guess what... we just got a millage increase to cover the teacher's additional healthcare costs...Then he mentions that he is a builder.

So my mom's reply was..."Why don't you offer to pay more for your healthcare in order to cut my tax burden?"...and yet...no reply....then she adds in the slam.."Well when interest rates go up your home building business will hit the wall and then what the hell will ya do?"

Typical repub hypocrisy.

by the way we have a great school district so I am not bashing teachers...

1. They really should NOT attack the voters like that!

I have done that work for the Dems and we are told not to

enter into discussions with voters...just present literature in a friendly manner and keep quiet.

If people get in our face...we are to ignore them or walk away until they go away...this guy was over the line and if I had been there I would have called the cops...
