election. I agree with you that getting rid of Hart was a great thing, but I have been disappointed in Altmire over and over again. His district comes close to me (I'm in the 3rd---with that puke Mike Kelly) and we worked hard up here to get him elected in his district. I will not work to help him again, but I suppose that we have a choice between people like Altmire and people like the teabagger Kelly----so what do you do!

It seems that this region is too religious and too conservative, and it is easy to be anti-woman. But this woman will not forget it. Like our buddy GW Bush said, you are with me or you are against me.

For him it is strictly a religious issue because he is a catholic. I don't agree with his vote southernyankeebelle Mar 2012 #1

That is what I thought too. Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 #2

Yes I will agree with you on that. As a female catholic it disappoints me. I am glad to see he has southernyankeebelle Mar 2012 #5

He's wrong on this issue. Old and In the Way Mar 2012 #3

You don't get any arguments from me on it. I think he is wrong. southernyankeebelle Mar 2012 #6

Bob Casey has placed the Vatican before his country. Dawson Leery Mar 2012 #4

Yes he has. Lugnut Mar 2012 #7

I felt that way too, but Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 #10

Yes he has and I am writing to him too livetohike Mar 2012 #8

Isn't it crazy that nobody is talking about how Santorum and gingrich are doing the same? NT Mc Mike Mar 2012 #19

I expect it from Santorum, not Casey. Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 #22

I'm with you on this one. But I paid attention to Bob's dad, the gov. Mc Mike Mar 2012 #25

Isn't that the truth! Republicans deliver Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 #31

That's one of the few votes I don't agree with. I'm waiting for the fervor to die down a bit before HopeHoops Mar 2012 #9

I see your point. Curmudgeoness Mar 2012 #11

It isn't just him, that's true of all of their offices, but he at least responds. HopeHoops Mar 2012 #12

We have to choose between Altmire and Critz in our district. blue neen Mar 2012 #23

I didn't know that there was a primary fight set up between Altmire and Critz. Mc Mike Mar 2012 #27

Their districts were combined because of the gerrymandering. blue neen Mar 2012 #30
