Latest Laughs from the Upper Saint Clair Republican Committee Newsletter

The disingenuous Upper Saint Clair Republican Committee endorsements are exposed ... again.

I have been looking forward to receiving my election edition Upper Saint Clair Republican Committee Newsletter, knowing that it would chock full of chuckles, as always, and it did not disappoint.

The chairman scores Democrat Matt Smith for running for the State House and Senate simultaneously, something which is not a problem for the committee when a Republican does it! Consequently, we read not a word about John Maher seeking to retain his House seat and to become State Auditor General, or for Paul Ryan to run for re-election to the U.S. House and for Vice-President. The GOP members are endorsed by the Committee (of course) with not a word about their duplicity.

Is it any wonder that both major political parties are despised and that they breed apathy in the electorate, which it seeks to play for fools?

Oren, you are a hack. you obviously don't have a job because you post full time on the Patch. Here's your options people, Raja who is a reformer that isn't a career politician and who brings a fresh perspective, OR Matt Smith who is a Harrisburg politician that lied about taking a pension, voted for raising taxes on small businesses, and has voted for over 5 billion in new spending INCLUDING the Arlen Spectar Library AND funding for Jerry Sandusky's 2nd mile. YES THIS IS A VERIFIABLE FACT, MATT SMITH VOTED TO FUND JERRY SANDUSKY'S CHARITY AFTER THE ALLEGATIONS HAD BEEN MADE- Matt is too busy running for House, Senate, and being a full time attorney to read the legislation he's voting for OR he's so far in the back pockets of Education Unions that it's blinding. Please check for yourself and your own two eyes (Act 130 12/19/2011) (Capitol Budgets 2009-2011) .

I can't believe you are defending career politicians like Matt Smith that are running for two offices at the same time. Matt raised taxes on on healthcare that affects our seniors, and raised taxes on small businesses that affects our economy, and raised taxes on YOU by a million dollars a day. MATT SMITH ALSO PUBLICALLY ENDORSED BARACK OBAMA. Raja created over 300 American jobs, Matt Smith has created ZERO. Where is the argument here?

"John Maher is also running for his incumbent seat in the Pennsylvania House 40th district. If elected Auditor General he has stated that he would retire from the PA House of Representatives."
Last paragraph in the article. Oren you missed it!

Matt Smith is a serial tax raiser that is running for 2 offices. I don't think anyone should be running for 2 offices at the same time if they are getting paid to do a job.

The Bible makes it very clear what Christ's expectations are for Christians surrounding gambling andRead More games of chance. Bingo and a Raffle should strike many as surprising events/activities for a church sponsored event. The 'MoreFest' is a wonderful event to provide a family friendly Christian atmosphere for the community. Sadly, the activities themselves send a mixed message, further confusing non-believers who prefer to frame Christians as hypocrites rather than fallible humans who are saved because the choose to believe.
