Dent Voted For Harris: "Turn the Page on Dark Politics"
Back in 2010, I was a member of Northampton County's Democratic Committee. I was tied with several others who voted for themselves and ended up the winner in a casting of the lots. This drove the party apparatchiks nuts because I was highly critical of them and I openly supported Republican Congressman Charlie Dent. They even convened a special meeting in an effort to get rid of me. My recollection is that their attempt to remove me failed in a tie vote. And I continued to support Charlie Dent. I still do and consider him the best elected official the Lehigh Valley ever produced in my lifetime. He's a centrist who leans a little to the right. I am a centrist who leans a little to the left. I was very sorry to see him leave public office at a time when people like him are precisely what we need. But I understand why he left. The Trump cult is hard to take, especially when they claim to belong to your party. But Dent continues to impress me. According to Axios, Dent has voted for Kamala Harris.
"[Harris] and I will not agree on every issue, but in her, we have a capable leader who will always put the interests of our country before her own, unlike her opponent who will always put his personal interests ahead of those of the United States," he told Axios. "We have the opportunity – and solemn responsibility – to finally turn the page on the dark politics Trump has ushered in and elect a decent, honorable leader for President," he added.
Isn't it time to reject the fearmongering and hate?
12:06, Then I've been complimented by Joe many times, lol. Last time I saw him was at the Table of Knowledge, and I must say his insults were masterful. He had me on the floor laughing. I think he's warming up to me.
As expected, ‘go along to get along’ Charlie Dent emerges to regain a little relevance. Here’s a man who disgraced himself by running from the pressure of serving in Congress and then took payment as a stooge for liberal news media. He became their novelty as a guy willing to condemn the political party who helped him get elected in the first place. A male Liz Cheney, if you will.
Sorry, the man might be a friendly and kind neighbor, but I wouldn’t want to be found alone in a foxhole with him.
Thinking back over his career in Congress, his only notable achievement was posing for photos with any Boy or Girl Scout troop who knocked on the door.
As for ‘dark politics,’ Charlie Dent now chooses to align himself with the Masters of that Game. A good citizen no doubt and Charlie Dent can vote however he chooses. Just not impressed by his time in office. Weak.
That quote is a joke. I didn't think much of him when I had to deal with him in my job and now I've lost any respect I might have had for him. Any Republican who'd vote for this dingbat marxist isnt really a Republican. Might as well be registered in the Communist Party.
Time to reject Charlie Dent, Pat Toomey and all the other frauds who bamboozled the party for so long…Trump has ripped the mask off and he’s not one of the club. And yes… I want to turn the page .. away from crime, inflation, endless war and death and Rinos!!!
I always loved his million dollar smile as he voted to cut rich guys' taxes and regulations for big business, and funding for wars that would kill thousands of our kids. He's practically Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped up in a big, smiling package. Has he ever apologized to military families who lost sons and daughters, based on his lies? I just Googled and couldn't find anything. His endorsement is a stain on any candidate. Seriously, he really should apologize for the deaths he helped cause. Has he no decency?
Charlie could have saved us from the tRump clown years had he stood up on his own feet then, but he failed us. Now, kind of like FedEd looking for sympathy!
Is this John Goffredo again using his silly all-caps dErAnGeD writing style? Please stop that. It's terrible.
Also, America can always do better, but the real story of this election is not immigrant gangs, sex change operations, or whatever MAGA is talking about... it's about taxing the rich and trying to make the economy fair for everyone. Dems are trying, and Trump and his wealthy buddies are throwing every possible thing into the turbine to try to stop that plane from taking off.
Just look at that Fox News interview this week... what what Baier getting all huffy and antsy about? Sex change operations that were also allowed under Trump.
Trump's miserable debate performance? Cats and dogs are being eaten!
This week he's in Colorado saying illegal alien gangs are taking over the nation. What? Come on, man.
Let's get real. Vote blue. Tax the rich. Kick MAGA to the curb. Let's build a better country.
8:40: "TRUMP is a protest vote for many of us." Hahahahaha... Trump is toxic trash pushing dumb policy and disparaging half the country along the way. Harris is a moderate who will serve all Americans.
If you reject both established parties, wouldn't a no vote for president be a better protest vote? That's like saying I don't like ford or chevy, then buys chevy truck.
Would Charlie have gone to the Al Smith Dinner? I think maybe. He had the ability to be self-deprecating. Trump was a riot. Kamala is so sullen and humorless, she ran away. Unlike you and Charlie and Trump and Doug's girlfriend, she clearly can't take a punch.
Sure, Harris will put this country into such a dark spot a lot worse than Biden and who care who dent votes for he never voted to help the people he represented
I admired Dent for years. In the end however he changed and surely embraced more democratic positions and became too political. If Trump cared more about himself than the country he would not be running for President. All it's brought him is anguish personally for him and his family. Let's not forget who started the unrelenting assault of Trump and how we got here. Fact is half of the country prefers the policies of Trump and the Republicans. Guess we will all see on election day
Trump ran for President as a glorified publicity stunt meant to boost his "brand". Nobody, including himself ever expected to make it out of the 2016 primaries. I agree the anguish for him and his family was probably much more than he bargained for, but lets not delude ourselves into painting Trump as some sort of selfless public servant. He leveraged the Presidency into a money making machine for himself and his family, often on the backs and out of the wallets of the very people who think the he cares and fights for them.
And when over half of the country votes for Harris, we'll just accept the results as the will of the people. No crying, no complaining, no accusations of cheating, no whining. When you lose, you lose.
The fact is that in any election and at any level its nearly impossible to find a candidate that you would be completely in agreement with on everything, the exception being folks who are lazy and allow other people to tell you how to think, which sadly is very widespread these days across the political spectrum.
For most centrists and independents, choosing between candidates tends to come down to character and behavior. Does and will the individual lead and hold the office with respect and dignity, will they represent and be a good example of, and more importantly, to our society?
In some situations having a President who is weak, wishy-washy, and all around nice and agreeable can lead to the nation being taken advantage of. All in the name of being a good guy or gal. That’s not leadership.
America deals with many groups (even inside)who want to destroy us, even to the point of wiping us out altogether. If forced into a dog fight, I want America to enter the ring with a Pit Bull, NOT a quivering Chihuahua dog.
Listen, I know Darth Vadar is the leader of the dark side of the force and he built the Death Star which destroyed entire planets killing millions of people in the process, but I just don't know enough about Princess Leia and her policies...
As a life long Dem Dent was the last Repub I ever voted for. Since he left because the MAGA wave pushed out anyone who wouldn't join their cult it will likely be many an election before I ever vote for a Repub again. I keep waiting for a third party to arise with the best ideas of both parties but the way money controls politics I probably won't see it in my lifetime.
Both candidates suck. Democrats have had the White House 12 of the last 16 yrs. I am barely making it month to month. Groceries are sky high. I’m holding my nose and voting for Trump.
I never voted for Dent. He voted in Congress against ACA, aka Obamacare. I don't know where Bernie stands on this now. But Dent was and is way better than any Republican currently in Congress.
Such dark comments above. Trump has unleashed the crazy. The economy is in good shape and unemployment is low. I guess that some people are dissatisfied with life itself.
Pat Toomey and Charlie Dent started out pretty much OK... then, I theorize, they had their "Dutch uncle talk" where they were told in no uncertain terms to toe the line OR ELSE. I believe it's the reason they both bowed out. This seems to me the only reason politicians start out good and go haywire. It's a downright dirty business and it seems they're all afflicted and owned by someone except for Trump. Prove me wrong. These politicians always land on their feet, too, and never seem to suffer financially.
Dent is a smart guy. He didn’t always make the right decision, but he was capable of accepting new information and he could learn about an issue before making a decision. He knew really working with Trump was impossible. Trump can’t learn. Trump can’t accept facts that don’t agree with his preconceived ideas. It gotten worse as he’s gotten older. He can’t even learn how to pronounce the name of the candidate running against him. So while Americans were desperately trying to get Covid test kits Trump was sending some of to his buddy, Putin, along with the reader to utilize the test kits. What a pal! I guess January 6th was just another beautiful in DC.
Biden/Harris have the worst foreign policy in 50 years. Now North Korea has sent troops to help Russia. Meanwhile, much to the chagrin of Biden/Harris, Israel has carried out the greatest counterterrorism operation in the history of the world. Netanyahu was right about Rafa. Right about all of it.
Who cares who Dent voted for He was a bad rep. for the valley. he was a bad republican; he is bad on CNN Bernie you are deranged just like Dent and Cheney.
Next 2 weeks should be fun see how a deranged person like you dreams up lies about Trump. By the way Bernie Las Vegas has Trump winning easily Are you going to bet?
Dent was arrogant- He is worse than Trump He was one of the worst politicians the Lehigh valley ever had. Bernie, you have no credibility you lie too much, and you give out a lot of fake news. When Trump is elected you should pack in your fake blog maybe Trump will shut you down.
The Lehigh Valley once had reasonable intelligent Republicans like Charlie Dent, Craig Dally, Mike Dowd, Phil Mitman, Jim Hemstreet, Pat Browne, Gordon Mower, Emil Giordano and some others who knew how to compromise and work with Democrats to govern. Unfortunately Trump has destroyed the Republican Party and all intelligent political discourse in this country. Tom Giovanni may be the only one left that fits the profile of the past.
You are one deranged individual if your think dent was one of the best--no wonder you hate one of the best presidents in our history Donald j Trump in less than 3 weeks he will be our president and we can forget about these leftwing democratic lunatics
You no good democrats will try anything in the 18 days because you realize you are losing you assholes tried everything from Russian lies to impeachments to fake court cases and many things in between but they all failed because you people are scum. Too late now you are going to lose. Ha Ha Ha
And Trump was a Democrat his entire life! Check his public stances on trade, abortion, offshoring, taxes when he was a NY Dem. Look at who he financially supported. I know that this takes actual research and would inspire you to think. I wouldn’t expect you to follow through. It’s easier to follow a demented, convict with multiple bankrupcies on his resume. Why don’t any of his prior cabinet members or top advisers endorse him? Not even his VP? Maybe they know more than you, but that’s not saying much.
Harris and Tampon want to kill babies plus give free sex change operation to criminals. No wonder Harris did not show up at dinner in New York last night
Dent thinks he is an elitist and the truth is the elitist runs the country and they are not for the people until we get rid of these people the country is in trouble
Neither candidate is even talking about the deficit. Biden/Harris just ran up the third highest in history. She’ll tax and spend even more! https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/18/us-deficit-tops-1point8-trillion-in-2024-as-interest-on-debt-surpasses-trillion-dollar-mark.html
Boy Bernie you misread a lot of things-You said he was a top politician for the valley but not according to your readers they hate him because he was a fraud and a arrogant type person So how can believe your lies about Trump you are just like Dent a Fraud.
Wow, Bernie. You really do attract the fascist wingnuts. Hard to believe that we fought a war against fascists (in which your father served honorably), and now they are back trying to subvert our country from within.
Actually, not so surprising. Even back in the days of World War II, there were pro-Hitler groups. The German-American Bund held mass rallies in Madison Square Garden. I believe that a rally is soon scheduled in Madison Square Garden to be led by Trump. History repeats.
Along with U.S. 4 star General Mark Milley, I believe that Trump is fascist to the core.
2:06 Well, I certainly don't want Putin-loving Trump. Harris and Walz are mainstream Democrats, not in any way what you think they are. You seem to have a problem with reality.
Dent secures speaking engagements and TV appearances by whoring himself out to demonstrated enemies of our country.
That he can brag about supporting a candidate who allowed 15 million illegals into our country and who is widely regarded as a Marxist, tells you all you need to know about Dent.
this is in answer to 4:51PM. anyone who would write what you just did is one sick person. If it meant my wife's life and I had a choice to make as to her having an abortion and staying alive or no abortion and she dies, She will get the abortion. So you are saying you would let your wife or daughter die??????? My wife and I had to make that decision. She is alive today no thanks to you fucken idiots.
Bernie all local valley political parasites are one in the same. Seeing a r or a d makes no difference as they attack local residence with no regard or reprisals for crimes they have committed. Just one instance of a local being rewarded for there many dui's covered up.
Dent is hated most politicians are hated because they do not work to help the people Two fact Jan 6 was a attack on politicians not thr type of government we have politicians are scum people know that second that is why the politicians hate Trump he will expose a good number of them
January 6 was a set-up by political leaders who did not want to deal with the changes Trump spoke of during his campaign. Trump was (and still is) seen as a threat to all the self-enriching games creeps like Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Barrack Obama, and Joe Biden participate in.
At NO TIME did Trump call for violence. Trump, in his remarks, acknowledged Americans’ right to protest but encouraged those who go forward to do so res-ectfully and peacefully. LOOK IT ALL UP!
Unfortunately, some in the crowd were enticed by security outside the Capital Building to push back physically. When you shoot flash bombs 20 rows deep into a crowd, the entire crowd surges out-of-the-way in every direction. There’s video.
The Morning Call and other sources do not describe this accurately. They promote falsehoods to push the continuation of their radical liberal agenda.
4:08 AM --> Your post is insane. You are living in fantasyland. We all watched what happened that day. It is absolutely not what you are describing. MAGA folks wearing MAGA gear and Proud Boys and others ransacked the Capitol looking to hurt people. Many cops injured... by people who pretend to "back the blue". Trump could have flown to Mar-a-Lago or whatever, but instead he held a rally on the Mall and told his brainwashed people to march on the Capitol. This is fact. You are utterly lost in right-wing disinformation.
Yes, most observers were predicting Dent would not be re-elected. Dent was largely unproductive as a Member of Congress. Rather than stick around and fight to retain his reputation, Charlie Dent did the cowardly thing by quitting ahead of time.
I could accept Dent resigning because the job at hand was too difficult for him. What I can never excuse is his betrayal of fellow Republicans in Congress. He then chose to bask in the Democrat spotlight by selling himself out as a weapon against Trump. That’s pretty low class as I see it.
Just go away and shut-up, Charlie. You disgraced yourself enough, as it is.
We in the LV elect some of the worse, ineffective politicians: Wild, Dent, Boscola, Emrick, etc. etc. But what I really dislike is a quitter- and that's Charlie Dent!
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.
Being attacked by Long is a compliment. The guy is a partisan clown.

ReplyDeleteDent never helped the people of the Lehigh valley he was a good example of a politician who is all for themself.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteI agree, he was in it for himself. Look at his entire political career!
DeleteRINO
ReplyDeleteCharlie Dent, Liz Cheney, ..... hahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteI would agree with dent if harris was decent and honorable, but that is just not the truth.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. He didn’t endorse Wild.
ReplyDeleteHe never met a war he wouldn't fund. This is endorsement is a dog-bites-man story. Shocking! lol.
ReplyDeleteTime to reject Charlie Dent, Pat Toomey and all the other frauds who bamboozled the party for so long…Trump has ripped the mask off and he’s not one of the club. And yes… I want to turn the page .. away from crime, inflation, endless war and death and Rinos!!!
ReplyDeleteAlright, we get it, Farva. At least you're punching up!
DeleteI agree- strong economy, no wars, respected around the world- We are now on the precipice of WW3!
DeleteWe knew Dent was a Dunce. He just had to prove it. Harris and Dent.
ReplyDeleteInterchangeable.
Dent was always a Democrat he was a failure for the people of the Lehigh valley
ReplyDeleteDent was a good fit for CNN.
ReplyDeleteI always loved his million dollar smile as he voted to cut rich guys' taxes and regulations for big business, and funding for wars that would kill thousands of our kids.

ReplyDeleteDark politics is correct. We used to be an optimistic nation, until Trump.

DeleteCharlie could have saved us from the tRump clown years had he stood up on his own feet then, but he failed us. Now, kind of like FedEd looking for sympathy!
ReplyDeleteBernie, when are you going to realize TRUMP is a protest vote for many of us.
ReplyDeleteDent endorsing Kamala is no different then Cheney.
I reject both democrat and republican establishment that has brought America to this point.
WE NEED TO ADJUST COURSE and head in a fundamentally different direction.

DeleteTrump never said ALL abortions are wrong. Your wife would have been OK.
DeleteTrump is for exceptions. Most ppl are.
DeleteBernie Your best rep. is a hated man.
ReplyDeleteBernie all local valley political parasites are one in the same. Seeing a r or a d makes no difference as they attack local residence with no regard or reprisals for crimes they have committed.
ReplyDeleteJust one instance of a local being rewarded for there many dui's covered up.
Dent is hated most politicians are hated because they do not work to help the people Two fact Jan 6 was a attack on politicians not thr type of government we have politicians are scum people know that second that is why the politicians hate Trump he will expose a good number of them
ReplyDeleteJanuary 6 was a set-up by political leaders who did not want to deal with the changes Trump spoke of during his campaign. Trump was (and still is) seen as a threat to all the self-enriching games creeps like Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Barrack Obama, and Joe Biden participate in.
DeleteAt NO TIME did Trump call for violence. Trump, in his remarks, acknowledged Americans’ right to protest but encouraged those who go forward to do so res-ectfully and peacefully. LOOK IT ALL UP!
Unfortunately, some in the crowd were enticed by security outside the Capital Building to push back physically. When you shoot flash bombs 20 rows deep into a crowd, the entire crowd surges out-of-the-way in every direction. There’s video.
The Morning Call and other sources do not describe this accurately. They promote falsehoods to push the continuation of their radical liberal agenda.
4:08 AM --> Your post is insane. You are living in fantasyland. We all watched what happened that day. It is absolutely not what you are describing. MAGA folks wearing MAGA gear and Proud Boys and others ransacked the Capitol looking to hurt people. Many cops injured... by people who pretend to "back the blue". Trump could have flown to Mar-a-Lago or whatever, but instead he held a rally on the Mall and told his brainwashed people to march on the Capitol. This is fact. You are utterly lost in right-wing disinformation.
DeleteBernie. Newt Gingrich did an opinion on civil disorder. On Fox I'm afraid. But extremely interesting and thought would be good to read
ReplyDeleteRemember that time Dent got a primary challenge and he announced his retirement from Congress two days later? The guy is a pansy.
ReplyDeleteYes, most observers were predicting Dent would not be re-elected. Dent was largely unproductive as a Member of Congress. Rather than stick around and fight to retain his reputation, Charlie Dent did the cowardly thing by quitting ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteI could accept Dent resigning because the job at hand was too difficult for him. What I can never excuse is his betrayal of fellow Republicans in Congress. He then chose to bask in the Democrat spotlight by selling himself out as a weapon against Trump. That’s pretty low class as I see it.
Just go away and shut-up, Charlie. You disgraced yourself enough, as it is.
I couldn't agree with you more- He makes me sick!
DeleteWe in the LV elect some of the worse, ineffective politicians: Wild, Dent, Boscola, Emrick, etc. etc. But what I really dislike is a quitter- and that's Charlie Dent!
DeleteHe's a total disgrace- Bernie loves him because he's a Trump basher!
DeleteDent is a coward- he realized he could make more money being a Trump bashing R on MSDNC, so he quit!
