Jackson Eaton and Rick Daugherty Schedule Some Debates

Democrats Jackson Eaton and Rick Daugherty are duking it out over which one of them has the privilege of running into Charlie Dent buzzsaw this Fall. They're considering up to four debates before this Spring's 15th Congressional District primary.

One of the debates will take place at 7 PM, March 13, at the Macungie Institute in the Borough of Macungie. It will be moderated by the League of Women Voters. They've both also accepted an invitation from the Kutztown Democratic Club at some yet unscheduled date in early April.

"Given the current spectacle of the Republican debates on national television, I believe you and I can demonstrate to our Democratic voters that our Party can have a civil debate about meaningful and constructive ideas, not petty mudslinging and wild, often disgraceful charges against our President,” Eaton said in a ltter to Daugherty. “Instead, we can show the voters that we have ideas for the future and the means to get Congress working again for the 15th District rather than the vested interests that presently control Congressman Dent and the Republican tea party majority.”

  1. Dent is despised by most tea partiers. He just voted for more increased spending last week! Why vote for a D when we have an R who doesn't get it? And he likes offing the unborn, too - especially via the Planned Parenthood method of urban targeting of abortions. Charlie's giving you almost all you could ask for.

  4. Actually, I don;t care because I now have the privillege of voting in a primary for either a guy from Schuylkill County or Nanticoke to represent Bethlehem Township. Yippee.

    Maybe I can vote for Christie for Governor of NJ too. That makes about as much sense.

  5. Jackson is unknown and Rick is an idiot. Dent is laughing all the way to his new term.

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.
