George Bush visits Pennsylvania today for the 40th time since taking office. Let's take a look at what each of those visits has meant. Since George Bush took office, we've lost 161,200 manufacturing jobs in Pennsylvania. That's 4,030 pink slips for every time he set foot in the Commonwealth. Health insurance premiums for the average Pennsylvania family have risen $3,697. That's a $92.43 co-pay per Bush visit. 337,000 Pennsylvanians have lost their health coverage altogether since George Bush became president. That's 8,425 more people worrying about what happens if they get sick each time the president came to town. The average family is paying $540 more to keep their gas tanks full each year during the Bush administration. That's $13.50 for every time the president gassed up Air Force One to visit us here in Pennsylvania. The president sure has given Pennsylvania a lot of attention over the past four years, but you have to ask yourself: Are you better off today than you were 40 visits ago?

People in Delaware County may not be stupid, but have you seen the political abortion known as the Board of Commissioners in Haverford Twp? I swear they'd vote for a mongoloid if they had the county GOP's blessing.
ReplyDeleteYes I have seen these "Pols" and to me it's just the Good ole' boy network" alive and well in Delaware County. I'm a Republican and voted for G.W.B and Weldon in the past and just what has it gotten me? I am 43 and self employed with NO healthcare. All of these politions have it for FREE.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my main concerns. I'll back our newly elected President and even Mr.Weldon but I as many are tired of both local and federal Republicans abandoning the little guy. It DOES matter to me.
