A front page article in today’s Morning Call (“Corbett Due for Extreme Makeover”)explains that Republican party strategists plan to change Corbett’s image and move him up in the polls. Perhaps they will tout the accomplishment of allowing fracking companies to avoid a severance tax. Maybe they will stress how forceful he was in the Sandusky investigation, or how he reduced our property taxes. They could also emphasize the cuts in education aid from kindergarten through college, causing 20,000 teachers to be laid off.
Maybe they’ll publicize his efforts to reduce voting among the old and non-drivers. They could discuss how he plans to sell the revenue-raising Wine and Spirits Shops. They should mention his refusal to expand Medicaid.
The old expression about earrings on a pig applies here. It’s the one that says you can put earrings on a pig, but it is still a pig.
Lets hope that the voters in Pennsylvania see the man for what he really is. An incompetant who only cares about the rich and his own pockets.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately some people have short memories. They have their guns and would be happy to have a beer with him.
Corbett is a dead man walking politically. It is good to now that PA has rejected Corbett and his far-right agenda.
ReplyDeleteI think he is toast. He has done too many things to wreck Pennsylvania to make a comeback. Dead man walking says it all.
