Surging GOP candidate Kathy Barnette has long history of bigoted statements against gays and Muslims

19. The panic by the PA GOP - at least based on what is being characterized by the local media here

is really kicking into high gear.

The Primary is this coming Tuesday (May 17) and since they claim that most GOP voters "vote in person", they are trying to herd their loon followers into their own designated cattle chute, which is hard when you have 45 out there making pronouncements and the candidates jockeying for his recognition.

What is wild to see (like we saw with Kevin McCarthy at the federal level) is that they KNOW all their "rhetoric" is complete bullshit babble and some of what we are now confirming as "the establishment GOP" have finally reached a "breaking point" enough to admit it "out loud". Yet THEY created this mess by continuing to promote and amplify the CT, lies, and crazy talk.

And just as a note - for the past couple weeks, I have been getting incessant daily (or even multiple-times-a-day) canvassing calls from both the NRSC and the NRCC on my landline. But thanks to DU years ago, I had been pointed to the availability of one of those call screen/block devices ( "Digitone" ) that has been a lifesaver ever since, and I even got the "Pro" version not long ago.

I was able block out the whole area code/exchange for their calls. And these weren't just taped robocalls. These were actual "people". They will get a phone pickup with silence that lasts for 8 seconds and then a hang-up and I only hear 1 ring on any phone not directly connected to the device (I have the thing on my bedroom landline phone and doing that suppresses the ring on that phone).
