The 9th Congressional District had a farmer running for Congress. Denny Wolff was a dairy farmer. He knew statewide ag issues. He had been Secretary of Agriculture in Pennsylvania. He was an expert on selling Pennsylvania agricultural products abroad. He had an A rating from the NRA (which I didn’t particularly like), he was kind of soft on pipelines (which I also didn’t like), and he was even kind of moderate on abortion issues (which I hated). Nonetheless, when compared to his Republican opponent, a carpet bagger and one percenter who never did honest work in his life, Denny Wolff was the obvious choice for farmers.
But he was a Democrat. So farmers in the 9th District, and I know some of them, went in and pulled the lever for the Republican. They couldn’t get past their party affiliation. They couldn’t even vote their self-interest or that of fellow farmers.
Am I bitter? Of course I’m bitter. Why wouldn’t I be?
And if they don’t like being called stupid, my advice is to quit being politically correct. Stupid is the right word.
