Sat, 17 Jul 2010 17:13:14 +0000

GrassrootsPA : TWITTER USERS TARGETED BY AG'S SUBPOENA SPEAK OUT...

Fri, 21 May 2010 15:25:31 +0000

Who is Hon. Barry F. Feudale, Supervising Judge, who signed this subpoena? What crime that Twitter or Casablancapa is supposed to have committed is being investigated? Curiouser and Curiouser as Alice might say in Wonderland

GrassrootsPA : Corbett subpoena targets CasaBlancaPA, Twitter...

Wed, 19 May 2010 21:37:53 +0000

This is an outrageous politicized attack on Free Speech and ever blogger in Pennsylvania. This is beyond the usual Establishment's duplicitous self serving behavior and attacks the Constitutional guarantee. Casablancapa is excellent source of information and all statements are sourced. AG Corbett is a public official. Read the site and tell me if is anymore defamatory than grassrootspa. Who knows, Chris will be getting a subpoena next. And this is the candidate I am supposed to support for Governor. Exactly why is he any better or worse than Dan Onorato?

rite: Please state one factual error. One Lie or Smear. Every statement is sourceswww.jrjim.blogspot.com or newspaper. Cawley is Endorsed ( in a rigged endorsement process ) Establishment Insider running with Endorsed Insider Tom Corbett chosen by Gleason Asher and their team. Is that not true?

This may mean end of incompetent leadership who are more interested in profiting from politics than actually winning elections.

GrassrootsPA : Romney endorses Toomey, Meehan & Burns...

Wed, 7 Apr 2010 16:12:34 +0000

Only the most superficial analysis could conclude that Pat Toomey is a RINO because RINOs support him. They have to. And wait unitl after May 18th, when libs and Left tars and feathers him regularly.

GrassrootsPA : Dahlkemper & Carney in Palin's crosshairs...

Thu, 25 Mar 2010 11:34:41 +0000

Excellent news. Recall how candidate Palin, with no name recognition, no organization, no resources defeated the mighty and entrenched Stephens, Young, Murkowski juggernaut and Big Oil? and then negotiated Billion Dollar leases with Big Oil opening up Alaska's Energy to Lower 48. Not bad for starters.

GrassrootsPA : Smith defends House GOP's 'non-input' in last year's budget process...

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:34:22 +0000

Are we in Court of Law? In the Court of Public Opinion or the Court of Common Sense, Perzel is unqualified to remain in office representing us. The indictment is probable cause to think he did something illegally and, very likely, of little benefit to The Forgotten Taxpayer. So, if the AG thinks that Perzel "probably" did something wrong, so do I and so does anyone with common sense. The standard of guilt by jury goes to whether Perzel goes to jail, not whether he is qualified to hold office. That decision is made by voters of his district. My point was that Sam Smith signed this contract and that he is unqualified to lead Republicans and if he does, we will continue to see the budget and fiscal mistakes multiply. Penna. is headed toward a Fiscal Iceberg and Sam Smith is in the wheelhouse. The Titanic did sink.

GrassrootsPA : Smith defends House GOP's 'non-input' in last year's budget process...

Well stated objections to this latest faux balanced budget. It has to be remembered that Sam Smith was an enabler for six of the seven Rendell budgets. and the first four were passed when Rs had the majority in both House and Senate. It must also be remembered that Sam Smith signed the $10 million dollar contract for which John Perzel was indicted. Sam Smith was either criminal involved or completely clueless. Either way unfit to lead in this time as ship of state heads toward the fiscal iceberg. The Titanic did sink.

Mr. Madden makes no mention of Pork and Earmarks to Democratic Establishment and Unions.

GrassrootsPA : PA's 'Tea Party' finding strength in independence...

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:17:15 +0000

My experience with Tea Party Patriots is that it is a diverse group where ideas are exchanged. If we wanted to be Republican Establishment, we would work inside the party. Some anti-Establishment, Constitutional Republicans do look for support and are getting it. Generally, Establishment Republicans do not show up. The Establishment is not, from my experience, co opting Tea Party Patriots in southeast. Most are well aware of Mike Fitzpatrick and were successful kin pressing for open and competitive primary in the 8th. Bucks County Thomas Jefferson Club and Kitchen Table Patriots are well aware what a hack Jim Cawley is. nutsy is correct. You have to see for yourself. This is very exciting. Pennsylvania Conservative Council, DelCo Patriots are all independent, principled grassroots. Jim Gerlach met with Penna. Conservative Council and was admonished for his unconstitutional Earmarks and other issues. There was a respectful exchange. That is far different from being co opted.

GrassrootsPA : Lt. Gov Hopeful Kennedy on PA's current fiscal plight: 'I was a lone voice back in the '80s'...

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:01:44 +0000

Everyone of these candidates will have to campaign in the southeast. There is a strong Tea Party Patriot movement in Bucks County, as well as DelCo. MontCo is growing. The Republican registration is not concentrated in southeast but with the proliferation of conservatives, it will be a problem. John Kennedy rejected his pension and other taxpayer benefits and cost him, at least, $275,000 in 1980s dollars.

GrassrootsPA : Bumsted: Making sense of 'the Metcalfe factor'...

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:59:58 +0000

Self-promoting, useless and boring "Public Service" announcements are a misuse of taxpayer money, particularly, as Pennsylvania's Forgotten Taxpayer steams toward a Fiscal Iceberg. These announcements serve no legislative purpose, and Rep. Metcalfe is in the legislature, not the executive branch. The Public Service Announcement issue was used, effectively, to sink Rep. Scott Boyd's nascent campaign for Lancaster Senator 13th now held by Sen. Lloyd Smucker. Votes are not the only record that an incumbent has to run on. Now there are three 1) vote for now indicted, Rendell Budget enabler John Perzel; 2) Public Service Announcement misuse of taxpayer money and 3) Pension and Health Benefits far in excess of what his own constituents are getting.

GrassrootsPA : Rohrer unveils new 'Energy Freedom' spot...

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:35:40 +0000

Marcellus Shale is job creator not only in industry but all the small and big businesses that depend on affordable energy. Affordable energy is one keystone to job creation, productivity, and maintaining and even enhancing our standard of living. Sam Rohrer has taken the lead. Sam Rohrer is demonstrating leadership abilities that I think he may not have known he had. Sam Rohrer, as governor, means Constitutional Limited Government, job creation and increasing standard of living.

GrassrootsPA : Rendell asks Feds for $50M in snowstorm aid...

How is Pennsylvania snow removal a federal issue? Can't we afford our own snow removal? We might if we weren't spending it on bonds and billable hours.

GrassrootsPA : PA fire-sprinkler rules to hike new homes price by thousands...

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:27:42 +0000

The sprinkler in each house means fewer new houses. The evidence that sprinklers will save lives is tenuous at best. Next why not mandate governors on cars to prevent us from driving more than 65 miles an hour. It would work and save a lot more lives than house sprinklers.

The Republican registration is not concentrated in southeast but with the proliferation of conservatives, it will be a problem. Chet Beiler is running as the spurned spouse and an Establishment wannabe. Steve Johnson and Russ Diamond and John Kennedy are authentic.

GrassrootsPA : Bumsted: Making sense of 'the Metcalfe factor'...

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:20:22 +0000

I am supporting and have contributed financially to John Kennedy http://www.kennedyforlg.com/ John Kennedy is resolute, independent, experienced in legislative process, and will not be fooled by the phonies in the Senate. John Kennedy turned down his pension at significant financial cost. $700,000 as I recall. John Kennedy has a track record of independence and reform. and he walks the walk. Daryl Metcalfe takes the unconstitutional pension. Of course, Daryl Metcalfe is far preferable to the obsequious phony hack, Jim Cawley.

GrassrootsPA : Bumsted: Making sense of 'the Metcalfe factor'...

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:13:34 +0000

Daryl Metcalfe's worst vote was his vote for John Perzel as speaker of the House in January of 2007. Sam Rohrer, Jim Cox, Curt Schroder, Kerry Benninghof, Brad Roae and former Rep. Dave Steiles deserve acknowledgment for this career threatening vote. Daryl Metcalfe was, as so many others have been, deceived by the devious and untrustworthy John Perzel. Daryl Metcalfe exhibited a naivete that was troubling. Promoting Perzel cannot promote reform. and may I point out that Sam Smith signed the same ten million computer contract for which John Perzel was indicted. Either Sam Smith was clueless or criminal. Either way, he is not qualified for leadership. Daryl Metcalfe and all those Rs, and it was every R, who voted for Smith for leadership have made a serious mistake. Sam Smith is not a reformer and his record, which is implicitly supported by the the Republican vote, is not one of fiscal restraint. Sam Smith was in majority in 2002 to 2006 which enabled those four Rendell budgets that set stage for current fiscal mess.
