Things really bode ill for Democrats when cars start carrying signs for Haverford College and conservative Republican congressional candidates. The driver of this Chevy found Friday in the parking lot of Gentile’s Market in Newtown Square had no problem boasting of an upcoming vote for Pat Meehan in Pennsylvania’s 7th District nor of an affiliation with the highly respected but famously left-leaning school. The election is Nov. 2.

NRA Endorses Embattled Dem Carney
The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund has endorsed on-the-ropes incumbent Democrat Chris Carney in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District over Republican challenger Tom Marino, who is also a staunch defender of the 2nd Amendment and who, unlike Carney, has never voted for Nancy Pelosi to lead the House of Representatives.
The NRA-PVF cites as reasons for its endorsement Carney’s co-sponsorship of the National Right-to Carry Reciprocity amendment, support of reforms to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and a letter he wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder expressing his opposition to Holder’s plan to re-enact the failed 1994 ban on semi-automatic firearms and ammunition magazines.
“Chris Carney is a solid defender of the Second Amendment who will stand up for the rights of gun owners in Pennsylvania”, said Chris W. Cox, chairman of the NRA-PVF.
It’s a bit of good news for Carney whose advertising, along with that of Paul Kanjorski of the adjacent 11th District, has been triaged away by the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee.
China Creating Green Jobs
China Creating Green Jobs — One of the promises of the Obama administration was to create new jobs through the creation of Green Economy. We could restructure some of our factories and begin to make solar cells and wind turbines leading the world in the new Green Economy. Unfortunately, since we cannot seem to move things forward through our government system in the present, the change that we wanted to see is happening in the east. Freedman Writes in his article:
“China is changing from the factory of the world to the clean-tech laboratory of the world,” said Liu. “It has been the unique ability pit low-cost capital with large scale experiments to find models that work.” China has designated and invested in pilot cities for electric vehicles, smart grids, LED lighting, rural biomass and low-carbon communities. “They are able to quickly throw spaghetti on the wall to see what clean-tech models stick and then have the political will to scale them quickly across the country,” Liu added. “This allows China to crate jobs and learn quickly.”
It seems that once again here in the U.S. we have learned how to draw the defeat out of the mouth of victory.
Pa. Pubs Fast Track Bill To Hike Car Insurance
Republican politicians throughout the nation are puzzled and angry at the lack of love coming from their constituents. So they don’t have to use their not-so-hard earned money to buy a clue, here is a gift of one.
House Bill 2246 is winding its way through Harrisburg and the Republican-controlled Pennsylvania Senate appears to be putting it on a fast-track for passage.
What the bill does is to allow trial lawyers to use non-verifiable evidence to seek pain and suffering damages for those injured in car accidents.
This is expected to increase the cost of automobile insurance premiums by 5 to 10 percent.
A hearing is scheduled for Sept. 21 with a vote by the full Senate expected shortly afterwards.
The bill were introduced at the request of the state’s trial bar association, which now calls itself the Pennsylvania Association for Justice.
The language to quantify pain and suffering awards was inserted into HB 2246, which was originally a bill dealing with accident scene management and general vehicle matters.
