Dick Cheney's visit

Dick Cheney was in Shavertown yesterday for some super secret fundraiser for Sen. Rick Santorum (R-VA) who came away with $300,000 for his campaign with another $200,000 going to a secure undisclosed Republican warchest. I was disapointed I wasn't invited to this event but found out why in the Citizens Voice:

Vehicles under $40,000 were in short supply on Sutton Road in Jackson Township on Friday. BMWs, big model Mercedes and even a Bentley were common sights in the upscale neighborhood that played host to a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser for U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum.

I drive a Ford.

    THIS VISIT REALLY INFURIATED HIS HOLINESS; ALL THE BIG WIGS OF THE COUNTY DESCENDED ON JACKSON TWP FOR 1000 DOLLARS A PLATE AND 10,000 photo op. ONE OF THE ATTENDEES FROM OUR AREA DECLARED THAT THIS VISIT PROVES THE BUSH ADM. "CARES ABOUT NE PA." WHAT GARBAGE!

  2. Pope Ringo, the NE of PA was one of the most frequented areas in the previous election. Who do you suppose Bush DOES care about then?

    Couldn't afford the plate? Or weren't invided?

    YES, MY SON THE DOCTOR, HIS HOLINESS WAS NOT INVITED TO THE PARTY, NOR COULD AFFORD THE PRICE TAG. I ALSO NOTICED THAT SOME VERY SAD SACKS WAITED FOR HOURS IN THE RAIN TO SEE THE VEEP AND THE CROWN PRINCE OF HALIBURTON DID NOT EVEN STOP TO SHAKE THEIR HANDS. MY POINT IS DR.--IF CARING ABOUT NEPA MEANS SNAGGING ITS VOTES--THEN, YES, HIS HOLINESS CONCEDES TO YOUR POINT. HOWEVER, THE POINT THAT I WAS MAKING IS THAT THE ADM. HAS NO CONCERN FOR THE COMMON WORKING MAN OF NEPA--EXCEPT DURING ELECTION SEASON! CHENEY RUBBED ELBOWS WITH THE UPPER CLASS OF OUR AREA BUT DID NOT EVEN STOP TO SHAKE HANDS WITH SOME LITTLE OLD LADY WHO COULD POSE A THREAT TO HIS SECURITY. STRONG AND COMPASSIONATE LEADER, HUH? BY THE WAY, COULD YOU LOAN ME SOME GAS MONEY--I'M GOOD FOR IT! GOOD LUCK AMERICA!!
