Voter Backlash in PA

Who's Sorry Now?

The 'business-as-usual' politicans - who apparently don't have a CLUE! In PA 14 lost primary elections...both parties...and voters are hopping mad about a secret 54% pay raise passed in the middle of the night.

Glad to see you're not all asleep at the wheel out here in voterland. We think both parties have gotten lazy. And talk about a sense of entitlement! (which you all supposedly have) - what about your politicans who really do think you're stupid and not paying attention and, well, just won't notice when self-serving pay raises are passed in the dead of night.

We don't pretend to have any answers...except to keep the heat and light on the subjects, along with all the other great blogs out there, and try to find the truth in all the spin.

More on the PA debacle:
"PHILADELPHIA - Angry voters were passing out the pink slips in Pennsylvania, where state lawmakers voted themselves a huge pay raise in the dead of night last year.

Tuesday's primary election. With retirements, it means at least one in every six seats in the 253-member Legislature will turn over.

Pennsylvania voters also set up one of the hottest races in the U.S. Senate, choosing conservative Democrat Bob Casey to challenge conservative Republican Sen. Rick Santorum (news, bio, voting record) this fall."
