DemocRAT vs RepubliCAN

When it comes to party lines I don't see much of a difference do you?

Well if your Times-Shamrock AKA The Scranton DemocRAT then "I Believe" there is a difference. According to their Wilkes-Barre publication The Citizens Voice, RepubliCANs don't stand a snowballs chance in Hell. Okay they were a little more tactful than that, but not much....

The headline: Analysts, history point to Republican losses in Wilkes-Barre mayor, council races

One has to wonder, on a National level, is there really much of a difference when it comes to the two party's? According to this graphic NO...

Do you even know what party you really belong to, and WHY? 

Seriously just for fun take the QUIZ: Are you a Republican or a Democrat A quiz to tell you if you're a Republican or Democrat

Now when it comes to the local level, is there a difference? Well let's look at the City of Wilkes-Barre, it's been oh 40+ years since a Republican has been mayor, and the last Republican city councilman was in 1983. So I ask you is the city better or worse since 1983?

Well the debt was surely lower back then, and from the talk of the lifelong residents in all the Facebook Groups, the crime sure was a lot lower. So are we seeing a pattern or are we just so blinded by our hatred for National politics that we (Wilkes-Barre) are going to keep electing DemocRATs even if they are as crooked as Mayor Lie-A-Ton?

"The definition of insanity is repeating the same mistakes over and over again and expecting different results,"

Mommy Kane: Brighter Days Ahead?

According to Wilkes-Barre City Controller Kathy (Mommy) Kane, there are “bigger and brighter things ahead”, and “you always have the bad guys”.

One has to wonder if she’s both drunk and delusional, or seriously believes our District Attorney is.

Listen WUWB has been more critical of DA Salavantis than anyone else by far, considering the get out of jail FREE card she gave King Lie-A-Ton,  following the Gas-Gate scandal, but unless Salavantis wants to be remembered as the most corrupt District Attorney in Luzerne County History, not even the child DA herself could turn a blind eye to Petition-Gate.

Jared Martin (baby) Kane, who thought it would be easy slipping into his fathers (Judge Marty (Daddy) Kane) shoes, quickly found out that shortcuts aren’t so short in Wilkes-Barre, thanks to City Wide Towing Owner/Corruption Fighter: Bob Kadluboski. Kadluboski heard that several signatures listed on Kane’s republican petition listed names of voters who stated either they did NOT sign it, or moved out of the city/county months/years before the petition was even circulated.

But according to Kane’s mother, Kathy, the city controller, addressed supporters on Facebook on Wednesday afternoon.

“Thanks everyone for your support. Unfortunately, negative press hurt our campaign. To our true friends, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. There are bigger and brighter things ahead,” Kathy Kane wrote.

Hum, she’s not referring to a prison sentence for her son I hope.

Seriously, I despise corruption, but at the same time can’t help but feel sorry for the Kane family for what they’re going through (albeit self-inflicted) but still, as a parent, I just pray they learn something useful from all this.

Vote early and vote often

Only in Luzerne County would voters not only take stock in the old saying "Vote early and vote often", but actually implement the process.

There are those on the street, (and not just a few), who believe their relatives have been voting from beyond the grave. I guess it's not hard to imagine, after all many of them likely signed Jared Kane's nomination petition...

For those of you who benefit from corruption, this is where you'll want to STOP READING, but for the honest voters, the folks who are struggling just to get by, working two jobs to pay for this culture of corruption, the FREE GAS, the kickbacks, for those who saw their name on Jared Kane's petition, yet know they didn't sign it, those of you who TRULY want honest representation for a change, Wake Up Wilkes Barre has devised your Anti-Corruption Candidate List.
