Who's On the Ballot?

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.
No offense to the Mayor of Bangor, but as a Republican, I am writing in the name of one Ron Angle. The rest of you Republicans, please join me in doing the same.
ReplyDeleteanon 1:02, thank you. The Democrats would much prefer to run against Ron Angle. With his record and all time personal negatives, you will be handing the county to the Democrats,.
ReplyDeleteAgain, thank you for your help. I do sincerely wish you luck.
Republicans, Please write in Ron Angle!
If time permits, look into why the Lrepublican party failed in ALLENTOWN to have candidates for CITY COUNCIL.
ReplyDeleteKaren Dolan's petitions are a mess.
ReplyDeleteThat statement would be just as accurate if u removed "petitiond are "
ReplyDeleteIf you want to personally insult someone, sign your name and take responsibility. Don't act like a child.
ReplyDeleteand spell correctly. helps the impact of the insult...
ReplyDeletePlease let there be a good republican candidate! County Council or Executive, pretty please!! With sugar on top!!!
ReplyDeleteRs will not be a factor in council races. Brown's a sacrificial lamb with explaining to do about the trip he took on taxpayer money to see his kid. The county party is accommodating a lunatic and racist who said the opening prayer at a recent meeting. One of their ilk called a judicial candidate "that Sletvold woman" and derided Slate Belt Rs as a "book club." The county committee is keeping all members on the reservation - a pathetically small and shrinking reservation.
ReplyDeleteThe R's have some individuals that would be effective candidates but stayed out of the fray. Why, if Peg F is their standard bearer there in lies the problem. Nothing new.
ReplyDeleteWhat the R's need to do is PRAY the D's assasinate each other in the primary and knock Callahan out because of his audits, vehicle accident & womanizing. Can't wait for the first time he indicated he wants to do for the county what he did for Bethlehem.
Reidman already tried to ruin the County. It will take longer to recover from a Callahan administration. Debt, Debt, Deb
Callahan is going to walk to victory, despite his numerous, serious scandals. He's turned watchdogs like Bernie into lapdogs who write puff pieces and love to get their bellies rubbed and get to hang out with decent company. It may also be a little of the old an-enemy-of-my-enemy-is-a-friend-of-mine. Bernie's dislike of Reibman and McClure is well known. If he didn't come to heel for Callahan, he'd be completely on the outside looking in after enjoying the view during the Stoffa years. Ego in lieu of ethics. It's not the first time.
ReplyDeleteFor Callahan it may be, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot of money to win in the Allentown council race. Given the odds, it's a bad bet in the city for an R.
ReplyDeleteThe city turned down Dr. Lovett and elected Roy Afflerbach. He (with help from a couple councilmen) cost the city over $150 million.
But, with many city straight line party voters, it's almost hopeless.
A high number of shills have been reported to be running in Bethlehem Township.
ReplyDeleteThe phone polls have started in Bethlehem.
ReplyDeleteTo anon 8:50: I didn't know neatness counts.
ReplyDeleteAlso Anon 8:50, Have you seen most petitions?
ReplyDeleteSome Dems are still gunning for Dolan ever since she accused Joe Long and his goons (some of them still have power) of unethical actions, cronyism, and withholding important information from Dem candidates who refused to "play" politics like a game.
Dolan's popular. Any Dem dumb enough to challenge her on ethics (or neatness) is a stupid old fool.
If McClure wins I am moving to Canada and becoming a citizen.
ReplyDeleteto anon 12:25, we will help you pack. Take Johnny Casino with you.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the Casino a good thing? If it wasn't there what would be? All of that development over there is unreal. I've went to the Levit Pavilian area a few times last summer and couldn't believe what they did there.
