Anyone else worried about this political race coming up. Both Dems look to be not so 2A friendly. Corbett is Pro 2a or at least not anti. I am not a fan of the Transportation bill but I also do not have all the facts to know whether it was really needed or not. I think so far Corbett has done a good job.
|
|
I think he's a better choice than any of the Dems running, unfortunately I think his chances for reelection are slim.
|
|
So how do we help get Corbett re-elected. Both Dems running are anti 2A we may be the next NY if either dem wins.
|
|
I emailed Wolf's campaign asking about his stance on 2a since it wasn't on his website. I haven't gotten an answer yet.
Do you have any sources that's he's anti 2a? I don't think I could ever vote for a D governor but I'm just trying to gather facts. |

Just got a reply.
Pennsylvania has a long history of responsible gun ownership and hunting. Tom is from central Pennsylvania, and his business – like those throughout the county – used to close the first day of hunting season.
Tom supports the Second Amendment and the rights of law abiding residents to own guns. Tom believes we should focus legislation on outlawing straw purchases and closing loopholes that allow residents to purchase guns without background checks. Thank you for the question, Leigh and the team at Tom Wolf for Governor View Quote Yeah. They can all piss up a rope. |

From Rob McCords website
http://www.robmccord.com/issues/ As governor, McCord will: Require background checks on all guns purchased at gun shows and online. Require gun owners to report lost or stolen firearms, which often end up in the hands of criminals. Lobby the federal government to reinstate the federal ban on dangerous assault weapons. Ensure the Pennsylvania State Police complement is fully staffed and put more troopers on patrol to keep our communities safe. Reward communities that maintain their own police force rather than shift responsibility to the State Police and the costs of protection to the state. Equip law enforcement agents with better technology and equipment so they can operate more efficiently and effectively and share information and data across multiple agencies to keep the focus on eliminating crime at its source. |

Unfortunately, I don't see the 2A coming into play this election. Corbett is being portrayed as a do-nothing Governor (even by his own campaign...fewer .gov vehicles, really?), and the Dem candidates seem to be getting some support on the taxing of oil and natural gas companies to fund our schools.
Unless Bloomberg starts to dump massive amounts of money into the Dem candidate campaign........... |

View Quote The bigger problem with McCord and Wolfs plan of using the gas industry to fund schooling is the money is not guaranteed. It could be gone in a short period of time for little or no reason. Bigger better gas pocket 2 or 3 states over? Anything can cause a rapid drop in revenue . Meanwhile the school budgets rely on the funding that disappears and who will be stuck holding the bag. Us the taxpayers. And it will be much worse because the districts will be used to even larger budgets. They will just raise taxes again. Anyone who would budget based on gas revenue at today's levels is a fool and will set us up for major failure. The other issue is the money will not come from the gas companies or land owners. People are believing this to be the case. It will be passed down to come from the consumers alone. So anyone who heats with or uses natural gas will pay. |

I'm almost positive that they'll take the tax on the chin and NOT pass it on to the consumers. Wow, what a great idea! Or how about we tax them so much they won't ever do business in PA again! Yeah, that'll show those rich people (not to mention the average guy working for them or the share holders of the company)! The dems are idiots. Say they do get all they want. Background checks for all guns and those icky assault weapons off the streets, etc... What will be their next "loop hole"? |

It really is a shame to see these candidates proposing the new tax on Oil and Gas companies. I work for an Oil and Gas service company, and we're finally starting to see more business with the price rise in natural gas. The infrastructure necessary for distributing the gas is finally gaining momentum, and the local industry still has yet to reach maturity. Last year we lost big big customers because of the cost of service (cementing, fracking, etc). If there is a future decline in gas prices, in addition to a 10% tax, companies that are starting to getting a foot hold in the area might just decide it's not worth their while.
I send emails and call our local representatives on an almost weekly basis to ensure they're aware of what new taxes would do to the industry. I believe our local representatives only see the surface (i.e. gas distribution companies), but don't peel back the layers to see how a tax will affect the companies that support them. We're talking CNC machining, welding, consulting firms, trucking, steel companies, chemical companies -- you name it! The web is woven throughout the entire local economy. We really need to vocalize our opinions before it's too late. |

Corbett will get my vote. I could care less about the gas tax.

The Dems are getting far too damn liberal in this state. We use to have a lot of Dems who were still country folk now they've all turned into big city lawyer, carpet baggers looking to push their facist agenda. My biggest concern is to keep them from taking over the state congress.

Two thoughts.
1.) This year could be a wave election where your party will sweep you back in regardless. This is what is really shaping up. 2.) PA is the only state the Dems are looking to score this year. If they do win and take the assembly and senate (unlikely) they will move their agenda hard as it will be the only state they take. |

need to push for recalls that way you have it in your back pocket if it does happen.

A few weeks ago my Local Rep to Harrisburg had himself a Townhouse meeting to check in with his Constituents.
He talked about many things, both good and bad. One of the things was Our Governor. In short while Cadet Corbett is a decent man that is more interesting to listen to in person, he isn't the type that can talk enough and well enough to get re-elected. |

I am not a big fan of his transportation bill because it does not fix the problem. But I think he is many times better than any challengers he has. I am not sure the voters that just look at what the media and school boards say probably won't see that he is good for the state. |

While I'd certainly prefer that Gov. Corbett is re-elected (for an array of reasons), it's unlikely. He is widely considered the nation's weakest incumbent governor, and the democrats are going to throw the kitchen sink at him after their primary. Extraction tax, minimum wage, Sandusky (It worked for Kane. Hell, she barely even ran against Freed. She ran against Corbett's AG Office.), privatization (lottery, PLCB), the myth of reduced education spending, guns -- every populist piece of horse shit they can think of. I have no doubt they're going to bring it very hard.
They've already thrown in the towel in Texas, so Pennsylvania is going be their best chance to curb-stomp a republican in front of the whole country during a mid-term cycle that's otherwise not going to go well for them. Low-hanging fruit, so to speak. I'm already sick to my stomach thinking about how we're going to be up to our eyeballs with Clintons, Caseys, and Biden parading around. Disgusting. Fortunately, they're far less likely to compete for the Pennsylvania House and Senate. So, although we may lose the biggest statewide race, a democrat governor will be hamstrung by an uncooperative General Assembly. Hold on to your butts. |

Sad thing about all of the socialist candidates promising to tax extraction here in PA is the fact that not one has stated they would then reduce the property tax burden on homeowners.
That extra money would be used for schools (supposedly) on top of the school tax burden we home owners are getting hammered with, and in the case of over ten thousand home owners a year, being made homeless because they can no longer afford to pay school taxes. They are bragging about those added taxes to buy the teacher and moron vote. And it is working. |

The latest one I've seen blames Corbett for cutting $1.5 billion in school funding and giving $1.5 billion to race horse owners. The comments attack Republicans as stealing from the poor to give to the rich all the while ignoring that the bill that gives the money to race horse owners was a bill by Vince Fumo and supported and signed by Ed Rendell. There are going to be a lot of lies being told this year. For one I'm getting pretty sick of it. I was really ticked off at Corbett for the gas tax but these Dems really give me no choice but to vote for him again. |

NFG announced they will be raising rates due to increased demand over the hard winter and both Dems want to raise taxes on the "evil" oil and gas company's? You would think anyone with a brain would realize these increased taxes will only come out of our pockets! And all in the name of more money for schools, don't we already pay school taxes?!? Horse$#/! I'll vote Corbett again....

The whole debate over school funding and taxes is compelling reason for PA to divest itself entirely of public schools, sell them off to be run as private schools.

Starting to look like NY. Very sorry to say. I lived in NY for 37 years. I can't understand how people can throw away something that is good. This state is changing fast from when I moved here 11 years ago.i have already started to plan a move out of this state. It is going to take some time but hoping for 5 years 6 max to leave. It really bothers me that this is what is happening. I really like PA.
For the people who say it is the libtards from NY and NJ you are correct but the biggest problem are the liberal PA residents. I am shocked how liberal they are. The libtards feel at home when they come here because the natives are liberal. Sorry guys it hurts me to write this. This is how I see it. |

Why not actually fight harder than they do? Speak up? Actually put priorities where they are? Would you do it for $5000?

You can stand on your head it won't make a difference. A conservative message is work. Work hard,extra hours,strive for more. They don't want to hear it. Society has been shaped to take the path of least resistance. They don't want to work hard. That is now a bad concept.
The liberal message is the guy with more stuff then you is a theif. We need to take from him and even the playing field. We need to make everyone equal. Until you change the minds of people ths is going to destroy this country. This was a very well thought out plan to take over this nation. I hate to say it but we are in the final stages of its final goal. It is in every state. They are all over the place. Broken arrow. To find another state to go to is very difficult they are in every state working hard. |

Wolf has a lot shady back money all the other dens against him all had the dirt on him but he still got the primary
|
|
I think everyone needs to remember that the R's hold good majorities in both the state house and senate. Even if Corbett is a loss, they still need to get the legislature. After redistricting, that is going to be a pain in the ass.
If you are not involved in a local assembly or senate race you are making a big mistake. Find a race and help out, donate your time and money! You have more than five months to make the D's pay for every inch. |

Well, it looks like the race will be of the two "Toms". Wolf and Corbett. My money's on Corbett, but this Wolf guy comes across as Joe everybody. He could swing a lot of votes with that stupid Jeep he drives.
