McGinty no-show at PA. Senate debate on national security!

The concept of reporting for duty is totally unfamiliar to Katie!

Fetterman was there.
Sestak was there.

Where's corporate sweetheart, pro-fracking Katie? Nowhere to be seen. Guess she was too busy counting the $1.5 million in out-of-state money just poured into her campaign - money from the
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which traditionally would have been reserved for whomever ended up the Democratic candidate in the general election.

Here's my email from Joe Sestak:

The most important vote a Senator can take is the decision to go to war.

Last night, we had the televised Senatorial foreign policy debate – and my primary opponent did not show up.

North Korea, Russia, Iran, Syria, China, ISIS, terrorism, Libya, Pakistan… what’s the plan to secure the peace but avoid another Iraq? Being absent is not leadership or serving the people – who now won’t know what she might know, or not.

31 years in the Navy; over 80 countries; war in Afghanistan, from the skies and on the ground; combat in Iraq; and service as President Clinton’s Director of Defense Policy taught me militaries can stop a problem, but they cannot fix a problem. Too few understand this – and as a result, the tragic misadventure in Iraq has cost our American Dream $3 trillion in direct and enduring costs.

Please watch what I had to say on the debate stage in the video below, but before you do, please contribute $20, $45, $60 or $100 to send to the Senate someone who knows from experience the proper engagement of America in the world – because our security, our jobs, our economy, and our future prosperity depend upon it in an increasingly dangerous world.

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — A national Democratic Party committee is spending $1.5 million on TV ads in the final three weeks of Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate primary campaign in a bid to boost Katie McGinty over Joe Sestak.

Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee officials confirmed the spending Thursday. It'll push outside spending past $2.5 million in the primary to help McGinty.

Sestak has an icy relationship with party leaders, but is leading polls. The former Navy vice admiral and congressman is seeking a rematch against first term Republican Sen. Pat Toomey after losing to him in 2010.

The seat is seen as crucial to winning Senate control.

1. I wish I had more money....

I'll try to send a few dollars to Joe.

Thanks for this post! K&R!

2. I sent him $100, which is a real stretch for me.

And I'm helping find locations for signs - 200 of which have just been delivered to the Pittsburgh area.

4. Way to go!

Good job!

3. DSCC: its GOOD she knows nothing re national security - she'll vote how they tell her!

That's their big problem with Sestak. He knows exactly how the MIC pushes for regime change war and overstocking US military equipment and will convince fellow Senators of the truth.

5. It's not good that McGinty was a no-show for this debate.

I also was not impressed with her performance in the Tuesday WTAE debate. Fetterman has done well.

I like Sestak....just wish he would stay on point. So far, he's our best chance to win this seat from Toomey.

6. What happened to the debate a few nights ago?

All three were there, and I had on the Altoona station. The video cut out in the middle of the debate.

Check under Video, then Political Video.
