Reynolds and Donchez Are Killing Me

You know, I'm getting a little fed up with Bethlehem politics.

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.

  5. Yes. But they're not debating any issues. Your point would be valid if they were. They're not.

  6. I can't believe Reynolds doesn't make an issue of Donchez always being afraid to take a stand and make a decision on issues.
    How 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.

  9. One wears Depends and the other goes commando. That's as substantive as any debate will be in this race.

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.
