Good America PAC: My new calling

Posted by Stuart London on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 1:12:44 PM
 
I've decided to do more than vote and write and get more involved in our political process.
Myself and Marina Kats, a prominent Philadelphia lawyer and the Republican candidate for Congress in the PA 13th congressional district last year, have started our own political action committee. The FEC gave us their approval in August, 2009.
It is called Good America PAC because we want to support people running for office who 'will be good for America'.
We are bi-partisan and not affiliated with any specific party or candidate. This year, we are taking baby steps, endorsing six canditates running for county office in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Hopefully, we will be more active in 2010.

Sports is distraction from reality

Posted by Stuart London on Monday, June 22, 2009 7:10:24 PM
 
This country is facing many problems: a failing economy, two wars (maybe more on the horizon) and debates on many other important issues that need to take place.
 
For some reason, I think those elected to office should really concentrate on like the important stuff at the moment.
 
So I get kind of antsy, maybe even ticked, when I've been seeing the IMPORTANT recent congressional action.
 
*How about the the House Energy and Commerce Committee commerce, trade and consumer protection subcommittee grilling the guy who runs the college football Bowl Championship Series on why college football playoff does not have a playoff.
 
*Tennessee representative Steve Cohen has written a letter to the NBA and the player’s union, asking the League to scrap the 19-year-old age minimum requirement for the NBA Draft.
 
Now, these actions were mostly about congressman looking good in front of the home folks ('See, I fought for our ---'s to get into the BCS bowls') but the appearance is pretty pathetic.
 
If you have time to worry about what college football uses as a format or that a future multi-millionaire basketball player has to go - horrors - to college for a year before cashing in, you can explain that to the locals.

OK, eating crow

Posted by Stuart London on Saturday, May 02, 2009 12:30:55 AM
I guess my post saying how Republicans should support Specter did not sway many voter's, huh?
 
Specter saw he was going to be wiped out by Pat Toomey and jumped ship to the Democrats. Also crushed the hopes of many ambitious Democrats (poor Joe Sestak has nowhere to spend that $3 million now).
 
It will be interesting to see if the ordinary Democrat voter will embrace Specter now that he is one of them, particularly if a Tom Ridge is the GOP nominee.
 
Whatever, I am keeping my moth shut for a while on this topic.

A conservative against cannibalism

Posted by Stuart London on Monday, January 05, 2009 1:03:31 AM
   In Pennsylvania, Republicans have a bit of dilemma, at least the ones who are a little to the right of Barack Obama.
   In 2010, there will be a Senate race and Arlen Specter will be running for his, geez, a fifth term? He is certainly someone to be admired for not only his political skills but his courageous fights against cancer.
   But, well, he ain't no conservative and I believe every time he has run for re-election he has had to face a challenge from the right. U.S. Rep. Pat Toomey only lost to him 51-49 in the primary in 2004.   
   There is talk of Toomey coming back for another run and others gearing up as well to take a crack at the ultimate RINO but I have a message for all of them - lay off!
   Yeah, I'd like a little more conservative votes from him too but in the current state of the GOP to use resources to knock off an incumbebt Republican senator just seems - well - stupid.
   In the current climate, all that will mean is having a Democrat take the seat. They do have 1.2 million more registered voters in the state. Do I want Specter or a Democrat, that should be an easy one.
   If we are going to recover as a party (and I don't think things are as dire as some whiners), we can't keep eating our own. If Republicans went after the Democrats with as much enthusiasm as the Rhode Island conservatives went after Lincoln Chafee, McCain might be president.
   There is an open governor's seat and plenty of leftist Democrats to go after. Let's concentrate on them, huh.
   Even Tweedledum and dummer (Reid and Pelosi) learned after failure after failure to elect people who thought like them in the heartland that it was better to have a conservative Democrat then a Republican, hence the rise of the Blue Dog Democrat.
   I'm not saying you have to now love Arlen Specter and work a phone bank for him, just don't be a cannibal. Find someone who can beat a Democrat in the fall.
 
p.s. Long-winded, aren't I on this subject (smile)
