Have the Republicans not learned from the last elections? Are they not paying attention to the Tea Parties? The recent wins in Va & NJ are not a referendum to vote back in the Rebublicans but for REAL change in our country.

Now we have the PA RSC conducting these asinine politics. PA RSC you better wake up and smell the coffee. The HAMMER is coming and you will have no protection from it.

You might be one toke over the line, curiouser.

There’s always a temptation to connect the dots to prove a conspiracy. It seems to me it isn’t that simple.

Most breaches of ethics occur merely because it never *occurs* to those involved that they are even in the territory where an ethical decision has been made.

Often when you point these things out after the fact, the response isn’t so much a cover-up as a blushing shrug.

So the attorney general who is allegedly prosecuting officials of the House Republican Campaign Committee, which is an arm of the Pennsylvania Republican Committee, is himself the beneficiary of the largesse of the Pennsylvania Republican Committee? Can we trust Tom Corbett to dig to the bottom of this scandal? What are the past connections of Nan McLaughlin and Brian Nutt to the House Republican Campaign Committee?

have the idiots running state party not learned a damn thing about their repeated losses in real statewide races? how many times can they watch the same train wreck before thinking the next time, maybe to switch tracks?

its all about business, contracts and keeping a few insiders greased, while the rest of the party goes down in flames. congratulations

C’mon. The state party would NEVER DREAM of supporting one candidate over another during a competitive primary, before party endorsements have been offered. That’s madness.

Oh. Wait. The Chester County Chairman, who is Jim Gerlach’s local committee chair, just announced his endorsement of Corbett.

But, still. The state party would NEVER do anything like that. To suggest it is just trouble-making for its own sake. Just not helpful.

I understand endorsing in a contested primary, but this is really taking this a step further. Why don’t they just give their formal endorsement instead of jerking all the other candidates around and pretending they actually care about the democratic process?
