I voted for Sam Rohrer for Governor. Met him at the local firehouse at that time.
Last night he and his wife were at a local Restaurant and WOW – Sam is the man !!
He said he doesn’t normally do politics on Sunday.
Mostly he spoke about the importance of God in our Country. And from William Penn to our Founders to G.Washington, etc..
He has the grasp of what is wrong and wants to help get our Country back on track.Audit the fed.(it is unconstitutional in the first place), eliminate obamacare, repeal NDAA, get rid of TSA (goons), get rid of EPA, etc. etc. He answered a lot of questions regarding areas that affect all Americans concerns now, not just locals.
I could go on but that is the gist of it. He is a real conservative.

These were posted before the Corbett Cabal this past Saturday. Tom Corbett had better start worrying about being primaried after the crap he and his henchmen pulled this past Saturday. They went into each room and publically said that any person who stood and seconded or nominated any candidate other than Steve Welch, they would no longer be considered committeepersons. Gee, the people’s republic of Pennsylvania, led by Comrades Corbett and Welch. Isn’t Welch the former Republican that changed his party so he could vote for Barack Obama and held fundraisers for Democrats as well? And, Isn’t Corbett the former Pa. Attorney General who refused to prosecute Jerry Sandusky when the Penn State sex abuse case was brought to his attention? And, whatever happened to Ray Gricar, the local prosecutor on the case. According to newspaper reports, Gricar disappeared, his car was found as was his laptop, but without it’s hard drive and only recently his family had to petition the courts to have him declared legally dead. Hmmm, here’s an idea Governor. Why don’t you appoint Welch to the position of State Undertaker so he can bury anymore of your screw ups that are uncovered. Based on your act so far, let’s face it, a lot more are going to be found. Once a Governor screws up and endorses a supporter of Barack Obama, is there anything you would not expect from either of them? And, after Welch loses the primary, it will be time to start recruiting people to get rid of Corbett. Pennsylvania does not need anymore losers and we certainly don’t need anymore Obama endorsers.

I’m tired of hearing this thing of who is the most electable. We need true conservatives in the Republician party. It should be a open primary not one where the state committee people choose who wins by endorsing someone. Welsh voted for Obama. That should say it all. We all need to stop holding our nose and voting for anyone we think is the most electable and vote for the best candidate. Just to vote so a Republician wins is not really winning if the person who wins is progressive. The state committee members should share all information on the candidates with the public so the people can make the decision on who to vote on.

and to me it is far more important that a candidate understand Constitutionally limited government, not just someone who has “business” sense.

I wish more people knew about Agenda 21. There is even a democrat group out in CA out against this plan once they discovered what it was all about. (http://www.democratsagainstunagenda21.com/) for all those that think this is some “right wing conspiracy”.

Corbett should butt out. He’s another go along to get along Repub establishment. Tinker around the edges, but no real changes. He won’t buck the unions, which are destroying our state financially. Just coasted through the contract negotiations. I wish more people paid attention and vetted these candidates themselves. Attend candidate forums and find out for yourself who aligns most with your principles. I liked Tom Smith a great deal and have always like Rohrer. I don’t know much about Tim Burns, yet. As far as Welch goes, I cannot for the life of me understand how being disgusted with overspending, unprincipled Republicans would turn you to vote and support the most liberal of liberal Democrats. It makes no sense to me. And I watched a candidate forum where he explained it. I understand his disgust with the Republican party, but I would NEVER vote for candidates like Obama or Sestak out or retaliation to a party that let me down. NO way.

Saw the debate, thought All were absolutely superb, was so proud.

Tom Smith, flat out like the down home quality and coal connection.
Sam Rohrer, reminded me of John Adams, smart, quirky.
Marc Scaringi, seem very capable.
David Christian, two great lines “oil means war” and “free trade means fair trade”.
Steve Welch, seems like the youngest and most eager, but very impressive, quite the talker!

p.s. One of main reason the anti frackers are up in arms about nat gas drilling here is because drilling goes in the face of local agenda 21 action plans. We ALL love the environment, but wait until you read these plans. This incideous plan has slowly but surely been implemented all over the country at local levels. Look for now commonplace phrases “sustainable dev” “smart growth” “redevelopment” “greenways” “open space”. I found an wonderful site on this nonsense, democratsagainstagenda21.com – tell your friends/family and fight it. Short term it is a power and land grab; long term it is about control of population.

Steve Welch is so disgusted that Republicans are not being fiscally conservative in 2008 (which is so true) that he decides to support not big spender H. Clinton but B. Obama –someone with a voting record to the left of Bernie Sanders (self-described Socialist Party) in the Senate. Makes sense doesn’t it. And if you told me he did this 25 years ago when he was 18 I would say people change.

Steve Welch has a vanity book out that only he and his mother have bought and maybe read. Same thing, if this happened twenty years ago I would say people change.

He did not have the gumption to stand up to the establishment to run for whichever musical-chairs congressional seat he wanted that week so now he is Senate material. If someone bumps him out of the way for the establishment blessing for Senate will he be considered for Vice President?

A guy with a lot of money and little discernable resume and no discernable beliefs.

I agree completely with an open primary. Let the people decide who the best candidate is. The governor should stay out of it. The process is obviously corrupt. The candidate that has gotten my attention is Frank Pinto for Auditor General. The thing I like the most is that he has not backed down since the gov endorsed Maher. Frank is a passionate speaker and highly qualified for the job. The democrats will be able to take Maher down quickly. Maher voted for his own pay raise, his own pension increase, is running two campaigns at the same time (he is also running for his state rep post) and doing it all on the taxpayers dollar…. He is the exact opposite of who we need to represent the party. Frank Pinto has my vote.

Sam Roher pricipled guy but call it ??? has a platform that says the Republican establishment rigs things against Republican voters. He has campaigned on that before. Primary face-up Roher saying the bad establishment endorsed Obama Democrat Steve Welch. Please don’t let this train wreck happen. The party needs to broaden base to all and giving Roher ammo by endorsing Obama/ Welch is stupid/ We need to be united to defeat Casey and endorsing an proven Obama Democrat in a primary battle divides the party
