Reynolds and Donchez Are Killing Me
City Council candidate Adam Waldron goofs and forgets to file circulator affidavits with his nomination petitions, and nobody even says boo. In Allentown, he'd already be hanging from his toes, swaying in the wind.
Now, to make matters even worse, Willie Reynolds and Bob Donchez are actually running an issue-oriented campaign and being nice to each other. What fun is that?
Throw me a frickin' bone, will 'ya?
Instead of talking about government, Donchez should attack Reynolds as a teacher, a favorite target of anonymous trolls everywhere. When someone points out that Donchez was a teacher himself, he can indignantly say, "I quit."
Then Reynolds can attack Donchez as a legislative aide, which is actually one of my pet peeves. When someone points out that Reynolds was a legislative aide himself, he can indignantly say, "I quit."
In the meantime, controversial developer Abe Atiyeh is so pissed at Mayor John Callahan that he is underwriting much of Lamont McClure's Exec race. He's doing helpful things like plastering McClure's mugshot on a billboard that Palmer Township residents and The Express Times hate. Abe, if you really wanted to get Callahan, you'd put his puss on that billboard.
With rabbit ears.

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.

A nice campaign means there's no real debate.
ReplyDelete@6:37 Bullshit!
ReplyDelete@9:02 No. Truth.
ReplyDeleteMost nasty campaigns have nothing to do with issues.

ReplyDeleteYes. But they're not debating any issues. Your point would be valid if they were. They're not.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Reynolds doesn't make an issue of Donchez always being afraid to take a stand and make a decision on issues.
ReplyDeleteHow can Donchez be a Mayor if he won't be a leader. He hasn't said a word at a City Council meeting in ages.
Neither of these two clowns could carry my underwear. They are both cowards. I am not hard to find. If you don't like it than bring your sorry butt down to say hi. And that goes for Callahan and McClure too. Especially McClure's sugar daddy. All cowards. I'll debate them anywhere.
ReplyDeleteBoxers or jockeys ? I love it when you talk about your underwear sailor.
ReplyDeleteOne wears Depends and the other goes commando. That's as substantive as any debate will be in this race.
ReplyDeleteIne looks like Mr. Rodgers and the other like Dr. Evil. Hard to make a decsision.
ReplyDeleteJust don't vote for the margarine of evil.
