Senator Casey Stirs Local Debate Over Contraception Vote

[Mc Mike]

26. I strongly believe that Hart is just Santorum in Drag, or vice versa.

Have you personally ever seen them together? The same way you never see Clark Kent and Superman together. And I don't know Kelly, but life is a blur of repugs and red-meat, like Zippy sez.

Your District 3 covers quite a bit of ground. I used to run John Deere tractor parts and Lottery tickets up your way for Pony Express shipping company, from Pgh.'s hub, so I know how much ground your district covers, intimately. I think it would be very difficult to have to campaign in 5 counties for the 3rd's Congressional seat. I see that your boundaries are very similar to the old 21st District's. It's funny how they keep gerrymandering the huge population down at Cranberry - Mars (Crider's Corner), away from the rest of Butler County. That may be the edge that puts our Kellys and Ridges over the top.

Two stats that may help you be of good cheer, c.: 1) 98% of Catholic women use contraception. (that one is on-line all over, from Maddow to Amy Poehler's SNL guest hosting Weekend Update performance.) 2) Only 28% of American Catholics think abortion should not be permitted (See Al Franken's book "The Truth" (pp. 122, 317, hard-bound edition. That stat comes from a CBS news poll, May 20 - 23, 2004.)

I believe that the 'conservative religious' stereotype around here is the result of the repugs peeing on our heads, and the subsequent corporate media's weather report that tell us it's raining. I had an amusing time backing Altmire vs. Hart, due to the chinese-firedrill-style of organizing efforts by the Dem party in '06.
