You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
While technically correct in a bulleted list, "experience" is a bit subjective.
ReplyDeleteHe is a good GOP foot soldier if one is looking for a partisan foot soldier's mentality on Council. However, based upon your other posts today, and in the past, I can't see Bernie supporting such a selection.
I believe Wayne Grube's replacement, like him, should be a Democrat. This avoids hard feelings by the Dems. I also believe the selection should be someone who agrees not to run for the seat and have a leg up on everyone else. This avoids hard feelings by the Rs.
ReplyDeleteConsidering NorCo/PA politics, perhaps we should call this the "Zito Rule"??
ReplyDeleteIsn't this the guy who once dropped out of a County Council at large race. He allegedly took a bag of cash and quit so Jack Bradt could be put on the ticket.
ReplyDeleteI'm positive, ask Angle he would know.
I'll ask Birk Thursday night and won't do it anonymously.
