Yesterday Arlen Specter was back at his old media home, Fox News, singing a new tune , dancing the Lieberman shuffle , calling the GOP "a party of obstructionism." Well, he's got that right; they are. And until consistent polling showed that a right-wing extremist, Club For Growth head Pat Toomey, would kick his ass from Chester to Erie and from Waynesville to Carbondale in the Republican...
OPERATION ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE -- A to Z Next up, a survey of all the press the GOP electromagnetic pulse crazy lobby placed over the last ninety days, in excerpts. (Minus larger opinion pieces placed directly by the EMP Crazy lobby members, covered earlier on this blog. And since this blog has already covered all the major GOP politicians and celebrities involved with it -- Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee,...
Timothy McNulty | September 15, 2009 We've been largely ignoring next year's congressional races on the other side of the state, but here's a primer from the Inquirer on two seats that could turn into proxy wars nationally for Dems and Republicans: Brace yourselves, suburban voters. It's happening again. Former U.S. Attorney Pat Meehan's entrance yesterday into the Delaware County-based 7th Congressional...
EMP USED CAR SALESMAN If you thought Katrina was bad just wait for the EMP sneak attack. In the world of GOP electromagnetic pulse crazy, it's best to think upside down and counterintuitively. For everyone in the United States except the GOP and George W. Bush, Hurricane Katrina's lesson was that the city was destroyed and disaster arrived while the administration looked on. When the GWB admin did...
EMP CRAZIES MAKE SHORT MOVIE It took awhile but EMPAct America, the GOP lobbying group holding a conference this month on the approaching doom which will throw us back to the time of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance , has cobbled together a longer promotional video. And guess what? It's all the neat ones DD has been showing readers since July, combined. (See here for those.) DD is flattered. He knows...
I willingly admit that I have no idea what an Electro-Magnetic Pulse is or how big of a threat it poses to the United States. But it apparently is a big enough threat to warrant the existence of a group called EMPACT America Inc that has people like Rep. Trent Franks and former Congressman Curt Weldon on its Board of Advisors, which ought to at least give you some sense of what they are all about:...
Once a Republican stronghold, Delaware County, the county directly South of the City of Philadelphia, and where I grew up, now claims wild eyed leftist and gun hater Joe Sestak as their representative. Sestak won the seat from Curt Weldon in 2006. Now Sestak wants to be our Senator, and is challenging Snarlen in the [...] Related posts: Analysis of Committee Vote Centers of Gravity Bucks County: “Not...

So here's where I defend the Republican Party. I don't mean to defend the current incarnation of the Republican Party. There's very little to defend in that organization - the Democratic wave of 2006-8 certainly sent a number of the most obnoxious Republicans packing (George Allen, Curt Weldon, and Rick Santorum come immediately to mind), but it also had the paradoxical effect of clearing out the Republican...
NEW YORK, NY (MARKET WIRE) Novo Energies Corporation, Inc. ("Novo"), a public company traded on the Over the Counter Market (OTCBB) under the symbol (OTCBB: NVNC), announced today that it has appointed Congressman Curt Weldon to its Board of Advisors.
Triple Cross: How bin Laden's Master Spy Penetrated the CIA, the Green Berets, and the FBI--and Why Patrick Fitzgerald Failed to Stop Him Now there is an interesting title. Perhaps there is even some truth to it. No doubt it should provide many hours worth of material to gnaw on. So how about a review? While I was deciding how I should start a review of Peter Lance's new book - I remembered a quote...
U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak says that he isn't holding out for a deal. He's arming up for the fight of his life. The former three-star Navy admiral, who took down Rep. Curt Weldon in 2006, is crisscrossing Pennsylvania in the dead of night as he prepares to challenge five-term Sen. Arlen Specter, the consummate political survivor, in the Democratic primary.
Ted Stevens, move over: Another major public corruption case looks like it could end without a conviction. For years, Justice Department prosecutors have chased corruption allegations about Curt Weldon, a Republican congressman from Pennsylvania until 2006. The FBI raided his...
