The Pennsylvania Progressive
Cross posted from The Pennsylvania Progressive:
The Berks County (PA) Democratic Party, under the leadership of Chair Tom Herman of SEIU, voted to stifle dissent, free speech and freedom of the press today. Engineered by the Chairman of the Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee, they passed a resolution forcing me to change the name of my local blog or they will will sue me.
Democracy for America announced endorsements for four women in four major Congressional races. Lois Murphy, an attorney from suburban Philadelphia was honored with this distinction. Pennsylvania's Sixth Congressional District flows from just outside the city limits and into Reading, Coatesville, and Kutztown. Major parts of Montgomery, Chester and Berks Counties comprise this swing district.
PA-06 was the closest contested Congressional race in the country in 2004. Since then the incumbent Jim Gerlach has relied upon Karl Rove and Tom DeLay to fatten his campaign coffers. He has shown an amazingly flexible spinal column in his voting patterns. Whenever he has been called upon to cast a decisive vote he goes in the direction Republican leadership dictates.
More below the fold....
All the rest of this is the fallout from those infamous words. Therefore, as tempting as it is to try and hang Rove, let's not stray from the most important part of the scandal. All this talk about Rove is deflecting the discussion away from President Bush and his lies.
