Now I'm really PISSED

True story - it happened in Harding

15 y-o girl: Hey grandpa! I'll trade you sex for cigarettes

65 y-o pervert: uh.. ok

This is just f*cking sick!!! Sex offenders are the lowest f*cking scum on the face of this earth and the news is full of them lately. In the last week the news reported over 4 incidents where perverts got arrested. What's even more disgusting is that one of the people arrested was a youth pastor from Kingston: a man of the cloth who's supposed to lead and guide our youth in the ways of Jesus Christ. Instead the pervert shoves his d*ck in the very kids that look up to him.

SHAME ON YOU YOU FUCKING PRICK I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL

Just when I thought Kingston was close enough to my home there was another story that happened in my home town. The worst thing is that this f*cking *sshole who sexually assaulted a 15 year old girl lives in a home a few feet away from people I know and respect. There are other young kids in that tiny neighborhood. I'm sure they're all shocked to find out that someone like that lives that close to them.

The Times Liberal reported that 65-year-old "Anthony Wayne Gregorio, of Pauline Street, was charged with statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault, corruption of minors, indecent assault and endangering the welfare of children."

"The girl told investigators in April that Gregorio purchased cigarettes for her in exchange for sex." hence my recap of their conversation at the top of the page.

"She said the assaults took place mostly on the weekends at Gregorio’s home, police said. Investigators questioned Gregorio in May. He said he knew his relationship with the girl was wrong" Wait a second: RELATIONSHIP?!?!?!?!? The girl is 50 years younger than you. You thought you had a relationship? What kind of sick f*ck are you? Oh wait this pervert's statement gets better:

“It was something that happened." I guess it was not a big deal to you then. I'm glad my kids are grown up so I don't have to kick your *ss whenever I see you.

"I regret what happened and I wish I can take it back,” You're really going to wish you did nothing wrong when you're bleeding our your gaping *sshole in prison.

"According to the complaint, Gregorio claimed to have sex with the girl a few times". How many times is a few with a 15 year old girl? a few too many. Even once is too much.

and said he knew her age, acknowledging it “was against the law.” Officer I knew what I did was wrong. Can you just slap me on the wrists like a county courthouse employee? I promise to never, ever do it again. *wink wink* - ROT IN HELL YOU F*CK.

Hey, this story gets even worse!!! WNEP and WILK reported that this girl was his granddaughter. Here's a warning to you parents: if this sick f*ck can do this to his own flesh and blood don't think he wouldn't think twice about having your kids over for a few Newports.

I congratulate the police for nabbing this guy and Judge Carmody for keeping him locked up since the pervert couldn't afford the bail - maybe he spent too much money on cigarettes and a makeover.

I am dissappointed in WNEP for blurring out this guy's face on their website. the guy f*cked a kid. His face should be plastered all over NEPA so parents all over the area know who he is what he looks like and to keep their kids away from him. And the criminal court system should castrate the f*cker - no lean penalties should be given to pricks like him. A few years in prison won't put parents at relief.

In other news Obama gets the democratic nod reassessment is the luzerne county dems way of getting even with the taxpayers and it will be hazy hot and humid this weekend.

Is politics as usual dying?

After watching last night's pa-10 race it dawned on me. The machine that was once the GOP is proven to be weak and those in control of the republican party are beginning to lose their grip. The voters are beginning to voice their disgust at where the party leaders want the GOP to head.

On the Presidential level we had two strong candidates with a machine behind them: Romni and Guliani. The voters spoke all across the country and both once front runners are now history. The voters were not impressed with who the party wants in office. The party leaders are proven to be out of touch with the voters. Instead of wanting Romni or Guliani as our candidate the voters pushed two 2nd tier candidates to the forefront: Huckabee and McCain. Neither had a machine but got a lot of momentum when they realized that the machine can be broken. Obviously the voters didn't like who the GOP wanted us to choose. If the voters didn't speak up Mike Huckabee would have never had the opportunity presented to him. It just goes to show that the liberal media is wrong AGAIN: the conservative movement is not dead

Here in the 10th we had a very close race between two business owners. Meuser had a machine in place. He had the entire party locked down to the point that the 2nd tier candidate and the two third tier candidates had no other choice but to drop out. The machine in place also put Hackett in a quasi-underdog position. Meuser outspent Hackett. Meuser had more lawn signs in key areas. Meuser bought the party leadership. Hackett still faced the machine and won. In order to do so he had to spend over $600,000 of his own money - something no other candidate in the race could do to compete. I wish Hackett a lot of luck and he's going to need it. even if he doesn't beat Carney he did something for the - according to Obama - disgruntled middle-class voters of PA: he gave us hope that the machine can be beaten.

I may be dreaming but the schism in the party is starting to revive the conservative movement and giving the voters some real options. Maybe one day party leadership can decide to listen to the voters regroup and stick to its traditional conservative roots.

Hillary beats Obama; Ron Paul/Huckabee get votes

No surprise.

I predict that Obama will still come out as the democratic nomination despite Hillary's boring win in PA. I just hope McCain is taking notes on these two nimrods. He's going to need as much fuel as possible to compete.

Like any other conservative I cannot stand McCain and I was not surprised that there were people voting for Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee in protest. I think that in order to win McCain is going to need a strong conservative running mate who people can get behind. Of course he probably won't pick one until he sees what the dems do.

I was right....

For the 10th Congressional District I was right: props to me. I said it was going to be a close race and it was. I didn't know who to throw my vote to.

There were a few issues for me that I was bothered about:

• Meuser lives in the 11th district and only bought a vacation home in the 10th. Not to paraphrase a former candidate in this race but he didn't seem to represent the values and the economic scale of the people of the 10th. I don't know too many people living in the 10th who can just go ahead and buy a second home worth over $350k.
  
• Hackett hired an illegal alien to clean his house.
  
• Hackett started slinging mud knowing full well the establishment was on Meuser's side.
  
• Meuser's PAC gave money to libs.
• The list goes on and on - just go ahead and read my posts

Then there was the issue of integrity: Hackett blew the race for the republicans by slinging mud and getting it thrown back in his face. Carney now has more ammo. Meuser was actually the gentleman in the race and I respect him tremendously for it... among other things including the fact that he employs close to a thousand people in the area and he along with his family built that business to where it is now. I spoke to the guy I once endorsed as candidate (Swiderski) and here's what he had to say about Meuser as a businessman:

"Eddy,

I know I shouldn't respond to this email because I get a lot of heat for speaking my mind. I know how 'bloggerville' was all over for me saying nice things about Hackett's early mass media advertising, but I like to tell people what's on my mind rather than 'sugar coat' answers or not provide a straight answer. As a candidate I believed that it was best to be front and forward with the people. This is the same philosophy and level of ethics that I built my business on. If a competitor does something worth noting, then I have no problem telling people that the competitor is worth being acknowledged for it. If it costs me business, then so be it. Likewise, in an election, if it cost me votes or the chance to face Chris Carney in an election because I speak my mind then the nomination isn't worth it to me if I can't have rapport with the voters. Either way, I can go to bed at the end of the day knowing full well I'll have a good night's rest - unlike most Washington politicians. My straightforwardness is great for business but makes me a lousy politician :)

With the above being said, I cannot deny that Dan Meuser and his family are great businesspeople. How many people can honestly say they can grow a business 400%+ and sustain it? Pride Mobility is the epitomy of what entrepreneurship is all about. From a business perspective, the Meuser family did what they had to do to successfully grow their enterprise and gainfully employ approx. 1000 people.

I don't know Dan personally and would have liked to have the opportunity to get to know him a bit during the race, so I cannot say anything about his personal values or beliefs. However, the attachment to the Pride PAC was something that - although great for business - could hurt his chances as a republican candidate. Nonetheless, we have two highly qualified
candidates to choose from in this primary. Although I endorsed Chris Hackett, I wish both candidates the best of luck tonight. I will not be ashamed to throw my full support behind the winner of tonight's primary."

I - eddytheangryrepublican - voted for Meuser this election. KAR (AKA Kevin Reynolds), you can lick my *ss whenever you want.

I know people called Swiderski a moron but at least he endorsed the right candidate. Hackett won by a slim margin. I wouldn't put it past Meuser to challenge the votes though.

Hell I didn't vote for Hackett but I gotta admit he's the best we have right now against Carney.
Frankly I think he's the only candidate of the two who could beat him. I have two last things to say:

First - to Chris Hackett - I didn't believe in you even though i beleived in the candidate who endorsed you. Congratulations on the win and for giving us hope for defeating the machine. Make us proud in taking the seat back for the GOP. You have my full support.

Next - to the republican voters of the 10th district - WE cannot allow a lib DC to control our lives and take away our freedoms. Please support Chris Hackett in his run for the 10th. Contact his campaign and get a lawn sign make phone calls canvass neighborhoods do whatever you have to to get this man elected. Our rights and freedoms that we hold dear are at stake.

Get out and VOTE!!!

In case you're living under a rock somewhere today is primary day. I don't give a damn if you're republican or democrat today just as long as you go into the polls with an informed mind. If you're going to vote for someone just because of their gender or color or whether they're the better looking candidate stay the f*ck out of the polls you moron. Vote the issues. Vote for the candidate who best represents your interests and ideals.

Or in the case of the two hottest contests today vote for the lesser of two evils.

The republican Presidential race is locked down but some Ron Paul supporters still show their support. In my opinion why bother? The democratic primary is definitely one where you have the choice of the lesser two evils. Do you want the rich bitch who will raise taxes or the guy who can't salute the flag and will raise taxes? Tough choice. Either way a $15 billion tax increase is coming. My take is that Hillary will win PA but Obama will take the nomination at the end of the day - the first since Kennedy to win the Democratic nomination without winning the keystone state.

Who's going to try to oust Carney? Hackett or Meuser? I'm still undecided on this one. Hackett shows himself to be weak on illegal immigration by not deporting senorita housekeeper. Hackett also showed himself to get a little raunchy by attacking Meuser's record of giving to dems. On the other hand Hackett shows he's not afraid to play the game to win. Meuser still doesn't live in the district and this is an issue for me. He gave money to some libs and this is an issue for me. On the other hand he did make an honest attempt at sticking to the issues at hand and showed himself to be a true gentleman during the primary race. I also think that Meuser has a better machine in place. This one is too close to call: Hackett's tactics are either going to make him squeak by past Meuser or Meuser will win by a 5-4 margin. I am not voting for either candidate.

Oh yeah there is another smaller race - James May vs. Boback. I'm rooting for May.

I'm heading out to vote now.

What the ____?

I found this story on foxnews.com:

"A Venezuelan TV channel, under the watchful eye of President Hugo Chavez, has yanked "The Simpsons" off the air after a government agency ruled it may be inappropriate for children...

Televen TV station spokeswoman Elba Guillen said Monday that the decision to hand over the daily 11 a.m. time slot came after the state National Telecommunications Commission said it had received complaints from viewers.

"It had to be taken off," Guillen said. "They consider it to be a series that isn't appropriate for that time because it isn't appropriate for children."

OK I agree with the fact that the Simpsons aren't actually suitable for children so let's replace the time slot with some programming that young children can get something out of. I flipped through the stations on my TV to see what kind of appropriate kid shows were on here in the US around 11 AM. Here's what I found:

Barney - the purple dinosaur that instills traditional values in preschoolers

Ni Hau, Kai-lan - a cutsie show for preschoolers that teaches kids a few Chinese words - not very useful in Venezuela

Oswald - a little boring and mind-numbing show about an octopus and his dog weenie. I don't get the show but then again its not aimed at my age group. I did a little research and found that Oswald is for kids under the age of 3.

Sponge Bob - Are you ready kids!!! This show is as pointless as wiping your *ss before you take a crap. I'd rather the simpsons.

So, what did Hugo Chavez replace the Simpsons with? Was it with one of these wholesome kid shows?

NO!!!! They took the Simpsons off the air because it was inappropriate for children and replaced it with "Baywatch," which features bikini-clad bombshells and muscle-bound hunks working as lifeguards on the Hawaiian coast, has been running in the 11 a.m. slot since Friday."

Hugo Chavez great move!!! Let's remove programming that is unsuitable for toddlers and replace it with Baywatch!!! Can someone please explain to me how Baywatch qualifies as quality children's programming?

Como se dice "Hackett is a hypocryte" en Espanol?

In case you're living under a rock Hackett started digging up some dirt on his opponents and found that Damn Meuser hired some illegal aliens eons ago. This is starting to sound like a Hillary Clinton tactic. Dig up dirt from something that happened 13 years ago when you yourself are guilty of doing the same.

Damn Meuser decides to fire back after finding out that Senor Hackett hired a little housekeeper - the stereotype of hiring a young sexy little Latino lolita lingers in the back of my mind. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

ANTI-SLANDER COMMENT: This may not be the case but the Cialis is kicking in.

Grab the shovel Chris 'cause guess what! You're digging yourself a bigger hole for yourself. First you f*ck up any chances of getting the GOP seat back in the 10th and now you're trying to over-explain yourself. There's a fine line between coming clean and burying yourself in sh*t.

Hackett claims to have done nothing wrong by allegedly mistakingly hiring a lolita and firing her once she admitted she was an illegal alien. According to ICE officials Chris Hackett did exactly what he was supposed to do: fire her. Here's where the hypocracy exists: Chris Hackett says he takes a strong stance on illegal immigration. So why the f*ck didn't the deuschebag report her to ICE? His excuse was that he didn't want to violate her humanitarian rights and that he didn't feel he was required to report her. Granted the guy wasn't supposed to report her but you can't say that you take a strong stance on illegal immigration by letting her roam free to scrub someone else's floors in a cute little maid outfit on her hands and knees and wait around for the libs to give her amnesty. Here's a guy who's claiming to run on a platform to be part of a solution not part of the problem. By failing to report her to ICE he is allowing a broken system to work. Doesn't sound like much of a guy who's trying to be part of a solution to me. If he were really strong on illegal immigration he would have had her *ss deported.

Mr. Hackett will tell you that it's not the people's job to act as policemen after reading the above paragraph criticizing his actions or lack thereof. Uhmm... Chris you're not acting as a policeman by reporting her to ICE any more or any less than if you were to call the police if you saw someone breaking into your neighbor's house. You would be just informing the proper authorities to investigate and leave the matter in their own hands. WAY TO GO CHRIS!!!

This Gets Better Yet!!!
OneSource got investigated for hiring illegals many times!!! Hackett's claim is that employees provided false identification and that the people who "probably" illegal aliens were hired unknowingly. I don't know much about this area but I'm sure there's gotta be a way that a temp agency can verify SSNs so before writing this I relied on someone who knows more about business than I do. I asked Paul Swiderski (you know the guy who dropped out of the race?) if employers can check employees' social security numbers. Here's what he said:

Eddy,

Any employer can verify the Social Security Number of new hires, as well as existing employees, by using the Social Security Administration’s Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS) or the Dept. of Homeland Security’s e-Verify service. Both programs are free. To verify legal working status, you need to use the Dept. of Homeland Security’s e-Verify system. I don’t know a lot about the latter program but know that it is available. Links to each program are below:

www.uscis.gov/E-verify

http://www.ssa.gov/employer/ssnv.htm

I know a lot more about the SSNVS program. I strongly advise my small business clients, particularly new employers, to take advantage of this service in an effort to avoid any problems with quarterly/annual payroll tax return filings. All new employers whom I do business with are provided with a booklet that details information on their compliance and tax responsibilities as employers. Directions on how to access the database are provided in this booklet.

There are two methods in which an employer can verify SSNs:

• “Verify up to 10 names and SSNs (per screen) online and receive immediate results. This option is ideal to verify new hires.
• Upload overnight files of up to 250,000 names and SSNs and usually receive results the next government business day. This option is ideal if you want to verify an entire payroll database or if you hire a large number of workers at a time (SSA, 2008).”

The intent of the database is only to verify an employee’s SSN for tax purposes. It is not meant to be used for the purposes of conducting a witch hunt on your employees. The SSA strictly prohibits an employer from

“taking punitive action against an employee whose name and Social Security number do not match Social Security's records… A mismatch does not make any statement about an employee's immigration status and is not a basis, in and of itself, for taking any adverse action against an employee. Doing so could subject you to anti-discrimination or labor law sanctions” (SSA, 2008, par. 2).

SSA, 2008, Information and Instructions [for use of SSNVS]. Retrieved April 7, 2008 from: http://www.ssa.gov/employer/ssnv.htm.

I hope that this information helps, and if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Paul R. Swiderski, MBA

President

Taxpros

Here's my take: Hackett should've done a better job at verifying SSNs with at OneSource and he should've taken a tougher stance with his lolita.

The Last Great American Actor

Let's face it movies today don't have the same appeal as they did when cinema was king. Sure there are great epic movies today but few will ever become classics like Ben Hurr the Ten Commendments and the Planet of the Apes. In some of these classic movies was one of the bravest conservative leaders in Hollywood in an ocean of liberal scum. Hey in Hollywood anyone who openly admits they're conservative is brave. It's easy to be a lib in movie land but it's difficult to face them remain steadfast to your principles and not get sucked into the Hollywood hype.

No matter whether you like his movies (or even saw them) you have to admit that he believed firmly in his right to speak up no matter what the cost. He knew he was going to get heat speaking up and for being one of the few voices of conservatives in Libland. He did it anyway and often with charisma. Charlton Heston was a patriot in every respect of the word. He will be missed.

I'm back!!!

Howdy. I'm back and madder than ever!!!

The Gulf coast was warm and sunny and the fishing was great. Now that the primary is one month away it's time to start commenting again.


Meuser's taking a beating from Hackett and it won't be long before he starts firing back - boy it's gonna get UGLY!!! Looks like Hackett just blew it for the republicans in the 10th. WAY TO GO CHRIS!

On to the Presidential race. Here we have two libs promising to raise taxes by $15 billion and who they're targeting may be surprising. FOX NEWS reported that Obama and Hillary are targeting the poor and middle class with their tax increases. Wonderful. In the meantime we have some schmuck from Arizona who *oops* called himself a conservative liberal republican who is getting pounded by the same campaign reform law that bears his name refused to make the Bush tax cuts permanent and can't make a stand on illegal alien reform. It doesn't matter who's getting in the White House our country is screwed. America it's time to bend over and break out the ky jelly.

I been away

I am sorry for not posting for a while but not sorry at the same time. You can have the sh*tty NEPA weather I am down south sitting on the west coast of Florida catching 10 pound plus channel cats near Clearwater. But I'll be back for the primary.

I may be away but I'm keeping tabs on some things.

The 10th race is quiet because everyone is busy getting petitions. My prediction is that Swiderski & Haire will pull out of this race before the 12th. Haire will be busy checking for his own cataracts thinking he can get the 1000 signatures needed to enter this contest and if he endorses anyone it will be Meuser. Swiderski probably won't get the required amount either based on a conversation I had with him earlier today. He says that tax season is keeping him from getting out there meeting people and that he's relying on a dozen volunteers to get the deal sealed. Someone get me the crash cards because this guy's campaign is flatline. Look I like the guy and support him but I am trying to be as "objective" as possible. He made an attempt at trying to do make a difference but it just wasn't his time. Given the constraints of tax season he had no chance to beat Meuser and Hackett with shoe leather. The good news is that if he doesn't get the signatures needed to get on the ballot Swiderski said he will spend his time doing what I think is worthwhile and that is rebuilding the party in Luzerne County. At least the guy didn't pull a Bill "the baby" Jones. Swiderski and me agree that the republican party needs to be rebuilt. With all the sh*t that's going on in the county we need a republican leader now than ever. Nobody's willing to step up to the plate so why not Swiderski? The people complain that there's no young people wanting to get involved in politics and the voters complain that there are no real leaders in the party on the local level. I dont know about you but I think Swiderski would better serve the party here on the local level rebuilding the party and with some help turning the GOP into a machine here in the county. hey this is a blog. Let's see what everyone else thinks.

On the presidential level Romni and McCain suck. Shame on the PAGOP for endorsing McCain. I guess flip flops are in fashion.

Why Petrilla shouldn't be the new chairperson

The Times Liberal headlines give you the best reason why:

Skrep backs Petrilla as new chair

ScrapNeck the debit czar is in no position to back anyone for anything. He and the other Children of the Coal misused our tax dollars for lavish dinners questionable travel expenses and strippers. Then they have the b*lls to say that they did nothing wrong and they laugh it off as if it were a joke. It's a good thing that we have guys like Tim Greier who stuck his tattooed neck into this mess to speak up for the taxpayers. We need more guys like him getting involved but the problem is that when someone wants to shake things up the machine discredits them. Guys like Tim have the b*lls and thick skin to face these corrupt *ssholes while the rest of the people watch from the sidelines with their d*cks tied around their nutsacks. If people want change they have to get involved or at least get behind those who want to make change happen.

ScrapNeck is corrupt. Any politician or any person who supported his campaign should hang their heads in shame (cough cough Hackett - thanks for adding to the problems we have!). You can't take this guy for face value. Any word coming from ScrapNeck's mouth should be examined as close as his carb and calorie intake. If ScrapNeck says he supports something we should immediately challenge it.

Now the other reason:

Petrilla is just as guilty for the problems at the county as ScrapNeck. Hell she's the f*cking county controller! The county controller is responsible for making sure that the finances are in order and for monitoring money flow. The county controller is responsible for making policies and enforcing policies to make sure that there are checks and balances in place to prevent things like the debit card debachle from happening. Now we're going to put her as the county chair??? She miserably failed at a leadership position and it was all her doing. There were no extraenous circumstances here. She plain and simple f*cked up big time. She should be asked to step down. She should not accept the higher leadership position.

Saying all that who is the best person for the job? Is it Steve Urban? My take: HELL NO!!!

Steve Urban is a p*ssy and a failed leader. He's supposed to be the Luzerne County Republican Party leader. His lack of leadership makes the county party a laughing stock. We need someone to take over the party leadership but this is never going to happen. I talked to a lot of people and found out that the PA GOP is well aware of the problems with the county party. The PA GOP continues to ignore the problems with the county party. Their best solution is to leave the county party defunct. Nobody at the state party in Harrisburg wants to talk to anyone interested in doing something about the county party problems (more on this in another post later).

I propose that ScrapNeck remains the county chair. now hear me out on that one. If we have guys like Tim Greier breathing down the county's neck and people actually getting involved and supporting this guy citizens can take back the county government beginning with watching fat*ss's every move. Continued public scrutiny is the best solution until ScrapNeck is up for reelection. While we're watching the fat boy eating twinkies we as concerned citizens band together to start a new more active county republican party. I have some suggestions for a few good leaders to revitalize the county GOP (more on this in another post later).

a"meus"ing

The one thing I can't stand about blogs is the number of hacks out there attacking candidates. The race for the 10th is no exception. There are a sh*tload of faceless anonymous hacks for Dan Meuser. Only one makes himself well known: KAR (yes you can take a f*cking bow). These hacks are just an indication of how Meuser will run his campaign.

I'm sure many of us bloggers are sick of these hacks because they have no value to add to these forums. It's one thing to support a candidate and it's OK to let people know about a candidate's lack of credibility. But it's another to throw mud at candidate because you think it's the best way to win an election.

Meuser is a f*cking moron and so are his hacks. What good is a candidate if all he does is hire faceless *ssholes to smear other candidates? Looks like Carney has a lot of fire power. Carney has enough fire power to destroy Meuser's campaign, especially when the word gets out that:

• Pride's products are known for defects and killed several people - no apology from Meuser.
• Meuser had a recent sexual harassment lawsuit brought against him by a former employee of PRIDE. What happened to that lawsuit? Hmm.. did he pay her off? Is she the only one he made advances on? I heard that there are others.
  
• Pride got an $80,000 slap on the wrist from the feds for Medicare fraud.
  
• Meuser gave tens of thousands of dollars to Hillary and other dems.
• Meuser still doesn't live in the 10th. He only bought a vacation home in Harvey's Lake.
• Pride laid off 200+ people in the last 3 years as a result of cutbacks.
• Meuser has a nasty temper. It doesn't take much to set him off.
• Meuser is micromanaging his campaign. Word says that he's going to challenge every line item in the nomination petitions to keep the other candidates off the ballot.
• Meuser's afraid of competition.
• Meuser exploits small businesses in his supply chain.
• The ethics at Pride are questionable.
• The real reason why Meuser's in the race is to keep Carney in office.
  

Meuser isn't interested in being our representative. Let the facts speak for themselves. He won't run in his own district against Kanjorski because he gave money to Uncle Paul Kanjorski so that he gets kickbacks to Pride making him more wealthy. Meuser loves liberal democrats. Now that we have a lib in office in the 10th the best thing Meuser can do is to use his wealth to discredit anyone running against Carney. If he helps Carney keep his seat Pride will get earmarks and kickbacks from Carney. This means more money in Meuser's pockets. Exponentially more than he is spending on the campaign.

Is honesty the best policy?

Swiderski let out a big skeleton this week: his company Swiderski & Associates, LLC went under. Here's what he said:

"Against the wishes of my campaign committee, I wish to disclose to you my faults. The voters have a right to know the people who want to represent them. I am making it aware to all of you that I, like any other human being, am not perfect. What we normally have in campaigns are people who try to pretend to be perfect in all respects. I, as an average citizen and a Christian, do not believe in pretending to be someone who I am not. Such a feat can only lead to distrust." True but a rather boring statement

"Although 2006 started out well for my firm, it turned out to be a financially terrible year for my business when our area experienced flooding that was not expected. Many small businesses were impacted by this flood and had to close. I lost 43% of my business and had to reorganize. Part of the reorganization plan required that my company file for bankruptcy protection and close the company." OUCH!!! Looks like the Business Doctor needs a prescription for something.

"Any and all existing clients were transferred to a new enterprise owned by me." Smart move. Close the company down start a new one and move forward. Better than going down with the ship and losing everything you own.

"I am letting the truth be known about this event because media spin may try to make me look like an incompetent accountant when this is not the case. Certainly, I know how to pay my bills on time, but when you lose 43% of your business there is no way to keep your company thriving. After losing such business, there just simply wasn’t enough revenue to meet business obligations." OK we get it. An act of God comes through the area and kills your company.

"There are many reasons for filing for bankruptcy other than financial mismanagement. One such reason is to prevent a law suit. Another reason is to allow a small business owner a “fresh start” due to mishandling of money. My situation was due to neither." Yeah we got that from the last paragraph. I have a dead horse you can beat when you're done with this statement.

"I made the mistake of opening a small business out of necessity with very little capital." You and about half of the little guys out there make the same mistake.

"(My wife took ill and I was laid off from my job while taking a leave of absence from work. My employer let me go, and I was denied unemployment. With no money coming in, I had to do something to make money, so I took whatever money I had left - $300 - and advertised that I did tax preparation)." There is a more detailed explanation on his campaign blog:

"Five years ago, when my wife had cancer, I took a leave of absence from work to only be let go shortly thereafter. I was denied unemployment compensation, and with bills piling I knew I had to do something to make ends meet.

"I took all the money I had and paid whatever bills needed to be paid at the time. All I had left was $300. I had no other money coming in and couldn't take on a full-time job at the time. I needed to take care of things at home. Having a one year old daughter at the time made things tougher. I took that $300, put an ad in the paper and spent the rest on some office supplies and a flea market booth to market myself as an accountant specializing in income tax preparation. I prayed that I would make enough money to pay some more bills until I found another job. This was in mid-March with less than 6 weeks left to filing deadline.

"By the end of those six weeks, there was so much money made that I forgot about the job search and decided to pursue the venture with a full-time effort.

As the business grew, I kept investing whatever little money was left over to keep growing the business. After the flood of 2006 came, over half of my receivables became uncollectible. At the same time, my home had flood damage (I don’t live in a flood plain, so I was never required to have flood insurance, and my homeowners’ insurance didn’t cover the damage. I had to spend close to $10,000 replacing appliances, repairing my foundation, and taking care of mold remediation.). A lot of homeowners found out how insurance companies screw them. so what the f*ck are homeowners really paying for? On the other hand, this kid keeps running a business with little or no capital - it seems. the Business Doctor should have known that this would bite him in the *ss later.

"Certainly, my company had financial obligations to meet, but when your revenue drops to the point that you can no longer meet those obligations, you have to cut back on costs to make an honest attempt at making those payments. A loss of 43% of revenue makes it difficult to do so. I had no other choice but to close that business." Thank you for the Small Business Management 101 lecture.

"I live very modestly, so there wasn’t much room to cut back costs. My home is nothing to brag about, my wife and I don’t drive luxury cars, and my only school-age child goes to public school." OK he's not wealthy. We all knew that.

"I am not proud of having to make the decision to close my company, but in order to protect whatever assets I had worked hard to earn I had no other choice. " I don't think that anyone will go out in the streets and brag that the bottom fell out. Looking at the facts according to Swiderski presented I don't see how anyone could have a choice but to do what he did with the business.

"Any small business owner in my position would have made the same choice." There is another option: go down with the ship in flames. Of course there's the hindsight option: raise capital but this is hard to do. Our government and big businesses don't make it easy for the small business owner to succeed. Not everyone can marry into the family business or buy his business from the government. I used to own a business and I can tell you all first hand how the odds are stacked against you.

"A big business, however, can take a big hit and move on." Yeah like Pride's $80,000 medicare fraud settlement.

"Throughout this short period of time – even though money was tight - I still was able to and continue to make my personal monthly obligations on time." Despite the fact that I had a horrible year in 2006, my clients still trust me to manage their books. Two of Donald Trump’s businesses filed for bankruptcy within the last ten years, and people continue to do business with him. Milton Hershey failed at business six times before starting his famous chocolate enterprise. Throughout his bad years, he had investors who believed in his ideas. People still shop at Kmart. The failure of a small business due to uncontrollable circumstances should not deter the owner from representing other small business owners in Congress. Rather, my experience is nothing more than a perfect example of the hardship of small business ownership which relates me more to the common entrepreneur in the 10th congressional district. If anyone should represent small business owners in government, it should be someone who can relate to them." Thanks to a lawyer buddy of mine I was able to see the public record of filing. I am not a CPA but there is nothing in the filing to lead me to believe that there was any mishandling of money or that someone went crazy with credit limits. I have no reason to believe that Swiderski's ability to run a business other than doing so with no capital was a factor.

"I have been open and honest with my clients about this incident, and I feel that the voters deserve to know the truth as well from the source. Part of my decision to run for is so that I can help prevent the loss of other small businesses." Well now the voters know your side of the story but for Godsake do you have to sound like a freakin' crusader?

Now for my take:

Rightwinger put it best:

Paul pretty much came out with what I think is a rather large skeleton in his closet... I can understand him wanting to get this out in the open before someone else could jump on it and put their own personal spin on it. I'm just not sure how I feel about it. Paul, your honesty up front is appreciated. While it's appreciated, I don't know if it was the right decision coming out with it. I'll have to think about this one.

Rightwinger I am torn too. On the one hand Swiderski did the right thing to kill Meuser's hacks (KAR AKA Kevin Reynolds AKA Anonymous and I am lead to believe Westsider is a hack for one of the campaigns too) who were trying to bring this out in the forefront and destroy Swiderski's campaign. On the other hand Swiderski may have put the brakes on his campaign with this statement. Then again maybe not...

Regardless Meuser's campaign is now finished thanks to KAR AKA Kevin Reynolds AKA Anonymous. The only thing I see here is that the big corporate executive is beating up on the struggling small business owner tightening the noose on the little guy while paying off liberal politicians who make the laws that help destroy small business and hinder economic growth. Swiderski never had a chance before this all came out. Meuser could have let Swiderski fall off the radar quietly. Now Meuser gave Swiderski free press while creating more controversy for himself.

Mr. Jones joins the dark side of the force

tsk tsk tsk

Bill Jones leaves the republican party out of disgust. He loses an election and decides to move to the dark side of the force - the democrat party. At the very least this loser could have become an independent. Maybe he just wanted a debit card.

But who's really to blame?

Billy "the baby" Jones is blaming the Luzerne County Republicans for his loss. We all know that the county party is a joke and the laughing stock of the state. Following a close second is Lackawanna's. Baby Jones is right that there is no leadership on the local scene. It's no secret that the Luzerne County GOP is a bunch of cowering slobs who don't have the balls to stand up to the Children of the Coal (Luzerne County Democrats). Lynn should either take off the Depends and stop pissing herself every election cycle or step down. Urban Geurilla likes to hide in the trees somewhere along the proposed dam site (yes the project is still alive it's just quiet). Other committee members are like little trolls who don't want to leave the sacred shelters of old abandoned coal mines.

With all the f*cking problems that the democrats are facing this is the time for the GOP to step up to the plate and take back the county government. but they won't. They're either too lazy or too afraid to make any move.

Bill Jones already sounds like a democrat. He's playing the blame game. Baby Jones is crying: wah wah wah the woozune county wepubwicans didn't hewp me wah wah wah. F*CKING A
Show some balls and take responsibility for your loss you baby. If anyone running in Luzerne County thinks that the county party's going to help them is more disillusioned than a deadhead dropping acid in front of a Christmas tree. Anyone thinking the Luzerne County Party is going to help their campaign has more than candy canes dancing in their heads. Baby Jones should have known better.

Here's my take: The Luzerne County Republicans are - to quote our stupid President - a quagmire. Looking for support from them is like asking W for an endorsement: a bad move. Baby Jones has nobody but himself to blame for his failure. Instead of trying to fix the problem, he adds to it by leaving and joining the dark side of the force.

My prediction for the 10th

We all know that I am biased to one specific candidate but I am going to be completely unbiased here to give you my prediction for the 10th:

Ely is a good guy but he's so far off the radar that he's not going to get more than 5% of the vote.

Hackett despite giving that used car salesman aura is one of two winnable candidates. He has money and can speak more about the issues than any other candidate. Take the fact that he's playing party line politics if we restore seats in the house this November he has the chance to get funded by all the RNC leadership PACs. If his campaign is successful he will be a lifer. I don't like him or trust him but he is someone who can get the voters behind him. Besides he can beat Carney. He keeps hammering away at Carney every chance he gets. He's also the only candidate who can throw money around to compete against Meuser.

Meuser's only chance at winning the primary is money. His past contributions sexual harrassment lawsuit and medicare fraud settlement will haunt his campaign and that's something that money will not be able to resolve. He may win the primary but he won't get past Carney. Carney will play the nasty liberal games the democrats play and retain his seat is Meuser wins. I wouldn't put it past Carney to use Meuser's dirt against him to win.

Swiderski has the policies in place to be a serious candidate but without money or grassroots support he's going to fall off the radar and never get his message across. He positions himself well but looking at the money that's needed to run he's never going to raise enough to make a serious run. I like the guy and what he stands for and the fact that he won't win will not stop me from voting for him. I endorse him because he is the best candidate in my opinion even if he's not going anywhere.

My take on the tenth: a close race between Hackett and Meuser. If Hackett wins we get the seat back if Meuser wins we won't.

It's about F*ckin' Time!

Candidate Paul Swiderski finally officially announces his candidacy. You can read the press release here.

There are a couple of things I gotta say about this guy and his campaign:

1. My sentiments: It's about f*cking time he stopped playing Mr. Mom and got his *ss out there in public. Cut the cord baby and push these 120+ days like they were your last.
   
2. This one's for the panzies who said they were going to support him once he announces: Take your foot out of your mouths and put your money where you said you were going to put it. Write a check and mail it to the man. Go on his site and make a contribution. Go to slatecard.com and contribute there. Give this guy whatever you can. He's going to need it to compete against Hack & Muse. and if you don't have money to spare help out in other ways.
   
3. To Paul: I believe in you and will do whatever it takes to get you in office. But don't make an *ss out of me. I'll be watching your *ss when you get into Congress. Don't disappoint me or the people. In the meantime get your game on and make us all proud.
   

Now kick some tail Paul!!!! America needs you. NEPA needs you.

Couple charged in toddler's death and the libs are going to have a field day

Some scum bag from Hazleton (originally a transplant from Rochester) beat the living sh*t out of his girlfriend's 2 year old kid. If this wasn't bad enough the guy did this over a period of 72 hours.

Coroner Jack Consalvo had this to say:
"There were about 115 bruises on his body in various stages of healing, he said, meaning the boy had suffered repeated beatings"
"multiple blunt-force strikes had caused his brain to swell to twice its usual size, a rib to fracture and puncture his lung and a laceration of his liver"
"This child survived that for a period of time and lived in a terrible state... the boy suffered from the injuries for up to 72 hours... In my tenure as coroner, this is the worst thing I’ve seen.”

The kid's f*cking lame*ss mother did nothing but watch as this all happenned.

The story gets better according to the Times Liberal: "Later that day, the couple discussed taking the boy to the hospital because he wasn’t feeling well" No sh*t!!! You let your scumbag boyfriend beat the shit out of the kid multiple times throwing him against the wall and the spicket of the bath tub and you only discuss taking the kid to the hospital? What the f*ck is wrong with you? Someone should cut your tubes out with a pearing knife - you're not fit to be a mother. You make me sick you f*cking piece of trash.

Instead of taking the kid to the hospital immediately "they decided to wait until Monday because they had no money and the medical personnel might suspect they had caused the injuries." Now the kid is dead because your boyfriends abusive and you're incompetent. Having no money is not an excuse for getting your kids medical care. Besides, don't these scumbags have an Access Card? Hmm... maybe they don't even have a green card. If that's the case then you have no f*cking business here in the U.S. I hope Lou Barletta b*tch slaps you both to Mexico. Wait I'm going on a tangent. Let's me get back to the real issue here: your kid is sick you get care for them immediately. If your boyfriend is beating the sh*t out of your kid then be a parent and have some f*cking balls. Stand up for your kid call the cops and get this *sshole away from your kid. Where's your motherly instinct?

"That night, however, the boy began to vomit and had difficulty breathing, so Torres called for an ambulance around midnight." Horrible. These people make me sick.

"On the way to the hospital, she said, Garcia apologized and claimed to not have meant to hurt the child. He kept crying and begging for forgiveness and telling her he would get help" Don't believe him. This is the typical playbook pass for people with abusive personalities.
This guy is beyond help. I hope he burns in hell with satan hanging him by his nutsack sticking his pitchfork up this prick's *ss.

One question remains: what would possess someone to act like this and beat the sh*t out of a 2 year old or any age kid? According to the Times Liberal "Garcia had become increasingly angry and had begun hitting Gonzalez for the boy’s inability to be toilet trained." This is disgusting! PETA would be all over your *ss if you slapped a puppy with a newspaper. People should be all over your *ss for beating up a child. Two year old kids can piss even the most tolerant of parents but it's never an excuse to beat the sh*t out of a child. So the kid pisses on your floor and sh*ts on a blanket. Put a f*cking diaper on the kid and clean the mess up. Don't give me any excuses that you don't know how to clean. I see lots of illegals cleaning hotel rooms and working as maids.

I hope you get the death penalty you worthless piece of sh*t.

Mark my words though the libs are going to have a field day when the trial begins. They're going to try to make you feel sorry for this lump of sh*t so he doesn't fry. Don't fall for the media hype.

My spoof on the 12 days of Christmas

Based on Luzerne County politics
Items 5-12 deal with the courthouse
Items 1-4 deal with the PA-10 race

12 strippers stripping
11 terms of Kanjo
10 debit cards charged up
9 million dollars missing
8 hundred dollar diunners
7 lap dances
6 bogus trips to NY
5 Golden Rings (I'm sure someone charged that on their debit card)
4 Republicans
3 Presidential endorsements
2 self-financed sweethearts
...and One candidate nobody knows

Petrilla to be promoted????

WHAT THE F*CK????

Petrilla is as guilty as ScrapNeck and all the other felons at the courthouse. As the county controller she can't fool anyone that she had no clue as to what was going on or that she had no say in the policies. The county controller's job is to monitor money and make and enforce policies related to money.

Maybe I should play dumb. It might make me get a promotion.

Luzerne County Residents Beware!!!

Now that Petrillas Fellas got their *sses kicked by the media with this whole debit card debachle the Luzerne County Democrats are going to use the liberal playbook to take their frustrations on the very people who they are supposed to serve. Scrapneck and the rest of the Children of the Valley (I'll explain this title later) are now embarrassed that the people of the Luzerne County exposed their cronies for who they really are. They should be embarrassed!!! Especially for using taxpayer dollars for illegitimate expenses:

Hey let's use a county debit card for a couple of lap dances so that our wives don't see the charges!!! Oops! Now the whole county knows what pigs we are.

Not only should these d*ckheads be embarrassed but they should also be charged for fraud and illegal use of taxpayer dollars. Now as this whole mess unravels we will see the Children of the Valley stick it to the taxpayers for exposing them like Vegas strippers.

After all the Children of the Valley can never do any wrong. The Luzerne County Democrats are so corrupt and the voters of Luzerne County let them get away with everything but the Democrats of Luzerne County are like the voters' spoiled little children because they can do no wrong in the taxpayers' eyes. This is why I unaffectionately call them the Children of the Valley. Thank you registered democrats for f*cking up the valley and making Luzerne County the f*cking laughing stock of the commonwealth!!!

So beware voters and taxpayers!!! Petrilla's Fellas aint done yet!!! Now that they're exposed and embarrassed they will get even with you!!! If you think I'm crazy you will soon find out I am right.
