Josh Prince 5th Installment Regarding GOP Crisis
Josh Prince 5th Installment Regarding GOP Crisis –Josh Prince released, July 31, the fifth installment of a series relating to serious internal issues in the Pennsylvania Republican Party.
Prince is a Berks County attorney who was a Commonwealth Court candidate in the May 16 primary.
His series describes how county Republican leaders have been purging from committee posts Trump supporters and others skeptical of the beneficence of Pennsylvania’s corporations.
He says the Zoom call initiated by State GOP Chairman Lawrence Tabas was “wholly ineffective.”
He says the party leader actions are counter-productive to the degree that he’s considering the possibility of infiltration by Democrat operatives.
I dunno, Josh. You can make maybe an even stronger case in the other direction.
Remember former Montco GOP Chairman Mike Vereb and Val DiGiorgio, the previous state Republican chairman, worked to get Josh Shapiro elected governor.
The Democrat leaders shaft their voters probably even more than the Republican ones.
It’s no longer about Democrats vs Republicans. It’s about the average citizen vs the corrupt bastards.

Cornell West Would Not Be A Spoiler
Cornell West Would Not Be A Spoiler
By Bob Small
Full disclosure: I’m a registered Green Party member having participated in Green Party presidential campaigns, those of Ralph Nader and Jill Stein. I haven’t been active for a while, but Cornell West might just re-activate me.
There’s a lot to know about Dr. Cornell West.
He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard in three years and taught at Harvard and Princeton. He has authored 20 books, the latest being Prophetic Fire, about 20th-century African-American leaders. He’s included in music albums and movies. He is well known for his participation in various protest movements. He is married to a psychologist, Iranian immigrant named Dr. Annahita Mahdavi West, a professor at Long Beach City College.
In June, West announced he was running to be 2024 candidate for the MPP (Movement for a People’s Party), which he founded with other disgruntled Sanders supporters.
However, after some issues arose about MPP, Chris Hedges introduced West to the Green Party and he changed his plan.
“America must be a nation among nations that is committed to justice,” and West. “I’ve said over and over again: if and when I win I’m not going to the White House until everyone has a house.”
Jill Stein, a former Green Party presidential candidate, is managing West’s campaign.
The decision does not sit well with all on the Left. Joan Walsh, writing in The Nation, doesn’t believe West should be running.
I don’t believe anyone has the right to tell anyone not to run for president.
With regard to West possibly taking votes from Trump, Caitlin Johnstone says this on the site formerly known as Twitter: One of the stupidest things all American liberals believe is that if the Green Party candidate drops out of a presidential election the antiwar socialists who would’ve voted for them will go ‘Oh darn, I guess I may as well vote for that warmongering capitalist Democrat then. . . .I guess it has something to do with Democrats believing they’re on the ‘left’. So they see a candidate running on a left-wing platform, and they think ‘Hey, they’re stealing our votes!’ When really they’re just a bunch of closet rightists who real leftists hate.”
Thanks to radical brother John Murphy for sending me this quote.
Last question — why do only Democrats use the term “spoiler” ?
