Sestak has never impressed me until just recently
But he has sure made up for lost time. He is really on his game now.

This guy is a pro.

2. He's a 3-star Admiral. He has dicipline. Toomey just has his contract with Satan to run on.
But yeah, Sestak should have come out swinging a 3-ball mace from day one. I couldn't believe he won the primary (and didn't vote for him then because I thought he was a questionable contender because of his demeanor).

Toomey is an obvious "no" - he's just a Santorum lite with multiple forehead wrinkles. On the plus side, Toomey actually LIVES in PA.

10. You are wrong
Liberals don't serve

:sarcasm:

Yep been told this a few times.

Then comes the ever popular id game. Somehow those who said that don't even have a dependents card.

3. I thought he was great.
No doubt he's the best candidate. I don't understand the American voter. These races should not be this close. Angle and Reid???? Give me a break. He should be beating her like a bad piece of meat.

I bullshit you not, we are doomed. Voters are out to destroy this country because they are too stupid to live.

I was cheering for France today. Looks like they're ready to roll out the guillotine.

6. Joe Sestak is just terrific and he really means what he
says about being a public servant.

His District offices are open 7 days a week to assist constituents with problems with the VA, Social Security, Medicare, and whatever. No other Congressman in Pennsylvania and few in other states have 7 days a week constituent service. He really means what he says about being a public servant.

I've also heard him speak to small groups of volunteers (for the record, this is his third campaign I have volunteered for but I am not and have not been a paid staffer) about issues.
My favorite is what he has said about health care which goes something like this -
I spent 31 years in the Navy - I thought everyone had health care because you couldn't function if your sailors were sick and you didn't want them worrying whether their families had health care when they were deployed because it would interfere with the ship's function if everyone wasn't 100%.

Then he heard that everyone having health care was socialism - he didn't know that the military was socialistic - he just thought it made sense for everyone to be as healthy as possible for the job they had to do.

Joe is going to make an outstanding Senator from Pennsylvania and an independent thinker who will try to find pragmatic nonideologic solutions.
