GrassrootsPA : Sestak donates Rangel's campaign contributions...

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:20:53 +0000

Uhhh...why not give back the money? It isn't your money! And now you passed the dirty cash among your hand-picked group in a sad effort to buy votes. Sheeesh.

GrassrootsPA : PATRICK MURPHY: RANGEL SHOULD RESIGN...

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:05:18 +0000

...but, but, but...he's old! And he's been a faithful public servant for so many years! And he's a Democrat!

GrassrootsPA : Congressional candidate: American foreign policy to blame for 9/11...

And in one interview, Towne killed his candidacy...

GrassrootsPA : How to handle Philly's 40,000 vacant or abandoned properties?...

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 02:03:16 +0000

I meant EVERY tax, fee, whatever...cut them all.

GrassrootsPA : Rendell to Obama: skip 'The View'...

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:53:19 +0000

Comparing The View to The Jerry Springer Show? That's an insult to The Jerry Springer Show...

GrassrootsPA : Teachers allegedly eating students' federally funded lunches...

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:37:26 +0000

Anyone care to guess if the government actually cares? I'm sure they simply can't afford buying their own meals. I mean, when you make $60,000 per year, pay nothing for benefits, and make extra cash during the summer vacation, how can one be expected to survive?

GrassrootsPA : PA towns get more time to develop 'draconian' storm-water plans...

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:33:43 +0000

Bill, you are dead on. We're finding out more things each week about these horrible stormwater plans. Oddly, our country has survived hundreds of years without such plans. With these plans and the uniform construction code, our state is screwing any chance of development. Homeowners are getting destroyed and businesses are being driven mercilessly into the ground. I was just talking to an engineer tonight about mandatory sprinkler systems in residential units. Anyone have an extra $20,000? We can only hope that the next governor cares about the "little people" and reverses nearly all of this mess. Get out while you can...

GrassrootsPA : How to handle Philly's 40,000 vacant or abandoned properties?...

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:29:05 +0000

How about cut Philly's taxes by 30% across the board? Give people a reason to move back, buy up the properties and turn them into homes, businesses, etc... I know, I know...it's a radical idea.

GrassrootsPA : Corbett to keep AG post until term is over or elected Gov...

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:25:55 +0000

Meh...he hasn't been there in months anyway, so why worry about a few remaining months? If you want Tom to show up at the office, tell him there are cameras there.

GrassrootsPA : Exeter residents locked out of public meeting file suit, want apology...

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:24:09 +0000

The article doesn't mention anything about why the doors were locked. Did they forgot to open the building? Did they intentionally keep them locked? Did they have an executive session and forget to open up afterward? Ultimately, the council seems incredibly worried about the facts of the case because they aren't even willing to offer an apology. If they simply forgot to open the doors, then an apology should have been swift...not put on hold since April.

GrassrootsPA : Onorato & Corbett: extend low-income health coverage...

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:20:24 +0000

Hey, why not free stuff for everyone! Wheeee! Bring on the socialism! Karl Marx is smiling...

GrassrootsPA : Pittsburgh City Council: requires video cameras in all police cars...

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:19:19 +0000

The way that MANY of the Pittsburgh PD tramples over the rights of gun owners, I'd love to have video backup to help with the lawsuits...

GrassrootsPA : PA Turnpike employees use the road for free...

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:17:36 +0000

As bad as the turnpike is, they should pay us to use it...

GrassrootsPA : Santorum huddles with former aides to talk 2012...

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 03:27:25 +0000

The GOP spending like drunken, crack-fueled whores. This paved the way for the Dem takeover and Obama. Sure Obama and the Dems spend money even worse, but the GOP used to own the message of fiscal responsibility. They sold that to the highest bidder. Now they can't fight Obama on the issue. "Put us back in power and we'll spend about a billion less!" What a slogan... Which political philosophy is based around loads of spending? And if those people are in the GOP, what are they called? Do they really deserve to be put back into power? Really?

GrassrootsPA : State Sen. pushes Chester to pass gun reporting law...

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 03:21:21 +0000

"State Sen. pushes Chester to violate PA law; Corbett sleeps" Fixed the headline...

GrassrootsPA : Natural-gas companies turn to Ridge to fuel drilling efforts...

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 01:40:46 +0000

Bill, if Tommy had magnificent hair, you'd be all in favor of his reappearances. Maybe we can get some hair gel to his handlers...

GrassrootsPA : Santorum huddles with former aides to talk 2012...

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 01:11:51 +0000

But here is the big question: Why did the GOP lose Congress in 2006? (Hint: the answer isn't Iraq.)

GrassrootsPA : Santorum huddles with former aides to talk 2012...

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 01:10:15 +0000

Nah. It's fueled by Santorum refusing to retire and enjoy his family. If he'd go away, nearly everyone on the planet would be happy.

GrassrootsPA : STILP LANDS 'ANGEL LADY'...

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:58:17 +0000

The big question is: How many staffers in and around Harrisburg are being given huge bonuses to keep quiet about the work they've done for nearly every legislator...

GrassrootsPA : 'Pay to play' sports clubs an option for cash-strapped school districts...

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 03:32:35 +0000

How about when schools want to build a $2 million football field, they figure out the amount of players for the next 15 years, do the division, and there's the price to play football at ABC High School?
