Quite frankly if the gop leadership just stepped aside and our bumbling commissioners paid attention to the jobs they were elected to do, we could move to a primary that could produce a very effective team. Governer Elect Gerlach and Lt.Governer Corbet pro business leadership meets law and order! This whole conversation and article seem to me to

Those who live by the sword die by the sword and over the years the illustrious Mr. Castor has burned a lot of bridges on his ego-driven qwest for power and prestige. It all seems to be catcing up to him as his opportunities and list of supporter keep dwindling. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, which is what Castor had as D.A. Daddy can't help you get into higher office now, can he Bruce baby? I have watched with great interest the debacle that has become the public life of Bruce Castor.

MY point was that Castor was crying over losing HIS ability to hand out patronage. Manny-

The cronyism and patronage is now Democrat instead of Republican. How is that good for the county?That is one example of dozens since this bastardization of election results took place.

He has NO stock amongst the voters anymore, and his relentless contrarian nature has gotten the best of him. Has anyone ever attended a commissioner's meeting? Bruce doesn't have a clue about what goes on in the county. He spends all his time disagreeing with Matthews and Hoeffel, even on issues that might be good for the county and could be considered in line with Republican principles. Matthews cannot and should not be excused for his complicity with Hoeffel on a whole host of issues, but Bruce is completely incapable of doing anything constructive to combat it. He lets his uncontrollable ego get the best of him, and he comes across like a buffoon.Castor is not a leader. Sorry. He used to be, but he's not a leader anymore. He has too much baggage to be a viable candidate for higher office.And what does the Republican party chairman have to do with anything related to this discussion? Montco Manny, are you serious?

Castor's stock may be okay among the partisan GOP, bitter over the loss of GOP nepotism in county jobs. However, the county seems to running smoothly and Castor continues to come off like a spoiled partisan brat that can't get his way.His kind of winning-party-take-all approach has been rejected in favor of bi-partisanship. I agree Castor has nothing but baggage and liabilities.BTW, Hoeffel is having so much fun, he should be paying the taxpayers for his front row seat to the Castor/Matthews show.
