The Mercury’s Sound Off for Monday, Nov. 14

Bob Casey Jr. is by far the biggest winner in this year’s election. He can no longer be considered the stupidest man in the Senate. It’s ironic that one Democrat (Casey) has lived off his daddy’s name and the other (Fetterman) off his daddy’s money. Dumb and Dumber should be fun to watch!

Hahahaha! Low-intelligence progressives actually thought the Democrats were going to forgive their student loans. Now everyone knows it was all just a ploy to get you to vote for them. Just like they did in 2020. Dems lie as easily as they breathe. Fool a progressive once, shame on them. Fool a progressive twice, shame on them. Fool a progressive a hundred times, you can bet on it!

I think it’s time for Tommy Neafcy to call it a day. Look, we appreciate your service to Limerick Township but you’re not ready for the big time like Joe Ciresi. Two bad beatings in a row should tell you that. Enjoy your retirement, stay healthy and maybe plant a garden or something.

Lefty

Tucker Carlson lies again. He stated not a single Jan 6th insurrectionist had firearms. Court documents, video evidence and news coverage show that several defendants present at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, had firearms — and more wielded knives, bats and other real and makeshift weapons. Radical republican sound offers lap up his lies.

There is no election fraud. In Arizona, the Secretary of State is in the counting room overseeing the vote count in an election that she is running in. No wonder it is taking so long to count the votes besides the fact that there were numerous problems with the so-called safe voting machines. Surprising that the same issues occurred during the primaries in this state.  Just asking for a friend.

In Florida, 7.5 million ballots were tabulated in about 5 hours. By Wednesday, Arizona’s Maricopa County managed to count only 60,000 ballots in 24 hours. Maricopa County has an annual budget of $4.5 billion which is 4 times the cost of Hoover Dam in today’s dollars. Yet Maricopa County can’t count votes in an efficient way. Dominion voting equipment may be the problem, or more likely just plain incompetence.

Contrary to President Biden’s declaration, the economy was going to get worse regardless of which party controlled Congress. The painful medicine dispensed by Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volcker Jr. to address similar Carter Administration stagflation resulted in rough economic sledding that lasted two years into Reagan’s first term. Sorry Joe but this is on you and the likes of Houlahan, Dean & Casey who have suggested we buy $60,000 Teslas while eating Chef Boyardee.

M. Furlong

Dot, Sorry to see you go. I have enjoyed your postings. Hopefully, after your disappointment wanes, you will return to Sound Off.

CBS has a fictional series called “The Good Fight” evidently based on political events tied to President Trump. An upcoming episode is purported to contain a storyline that accuses Gov. Ron DeSantis of being a “sexual offender.” The storyline ends up exonerating DeSantis, but nevertheless, this is intended to attack DeSantis as well as Trump. Pure slander. Can they sue? Hopefully. Would CBS ever produce a series with Obama being accused like DeSantis? Never.

Realist

Emboldened Biden isn’t holding back. He plans to do nothing to fix the plethora of crises his policies created. He’s warned that he plans to raise Income taxes, Death taxes, Capital gains taxes, and Corporate taxes. Some or all of which will affect you or your family in one way or another. And let’s not forget the massive inflation time bomb Biden & the democrats have built. It’s sickening.

I hope all the people who voted for Shapiro and Fetterman realize they’re the reason Mastriano and Oz lost. They should go somewhere quiet and think about what they did.

Emily L

KC listens to CNN too much. Not a single election fraud case has ever made it to trial. The Democrat-controlled justice system has denied going to trial in every instance regardless of the evidence presented.

Isn’t anybody the least bit curious as to why all mainstream media stopped reporting on the attack on Paul Pelosi? Once the embarrassing facts surrounding that encounter started to come to light, the liberal propaganda machine suddenly went blind, deaf, and mute. Investigative facts show that it was some kind of deviant gay prostitution transaction that somehow went wrong. Considering the location and the actors, nobody should be surprised. Dems be tripp’n!

Butch

Dot, one can only hope you stick to your word. The election should make Melissa more confused. Butch, wasn’t a Republican in charge during the last stolen election? For the next 2 years, I predict more bureaucratic gridlock, confusing statements from Biden, the overthrow of Putin, Fetterman in an ill-fitting suit with better continuity of thought to spoken word, and Dr. Oz back to TV.

The Moderate

Kudos to Doug Mastriano for refusing to concede an election that he only lost by 14 points. This is a tribute to his faith in God, a God who clearly cares about a state governor’s race as much as about high school football games, lotteries, and tomorrow’s weather. Hang in there, Doug

L Carroll

If President Biden doesn’t have the mental capacity to figure out how to get off a stage after a speech, what rational person would believe he’s running the country?

Robert Minninger

Florida counted 7.5 million votes in 5 hours. While progressive blue states are saying it may take till the end of the year to count 2 million of their votes. Is there any wonder the majority of Americans believe there’s a massive voter fraud problem?

Righty Tighty

Our newly elected state representative for Pennsylvania’s 26th District portrays himself as a principled man. So much so that he sends his children to a private school and not the school where he chairs the school board. Sounds hypocritical to me.

I totally agree with what Tom Hylton wrote in Thursday’s Mercury. Newt Gingrich is one of the people responsible for poisoning today’s Republican party. His advice to the party is to be as nasty as can be and take no prisoners. Well, guess what? People clearly rejected that approach in the midterms. And as for Trump, he’s done!

Stay Tuned

As of the third day after Election Day, I truly believe the Republicans will win both the Senate and the House, which will be far greater than a big red wave would be. A closer race will do more to unite us. For more than 200 years, we cooperated against our common enemy — Socialism/Communism. Now if we can just keep Donald Trump out of Georgia.

Get a job and pay your own debt! When you take out a loan, you pay it back. It’s as simple as that. We’re already raining a generation of entitled brats. The last thing we should be doing is reinforcing the notion to those entitled brats that someone else is on the hook for their bills. And congratulations to everyone who paid off their own loans.

Patriot45

Dot, please don’t give in. Keep bringing a voice of sanity, common sense, and intellect to Sound Off to educate people who vote for brain-damaged radicals.

When I was much younger a police officer had a pistol with (6) rounds. Stop meant stop!

Star Light

H John, those who have heard on Fox News that the 2020 election was stolen yet you are sure that the Republican congressmen were legitimately elected. (I have yet to figure out how that works). Are you still believing in Democracy?

Jay Miller

I laugh at all the people who get upset over elections. Your votes don’t matter in the least. The DC political machine controls who wins and who loses. They let you play the voting game just to make you think you have a say in how the country is run. A guy who is actually dead just got elected over a real live republican candidate. And there are actually people who think elections aren’t tampered with.

Captain

You know what makes me sick?  Pathogens, often floating invisibly in the air.

Bill Wilson

Now we know that Paul Pelosi was attacked by (surprise, surprise) an illegal immigrant. One of the wonderful people that is making the USA so much better according to Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. Again I wish nothing but the best and a speedy recovery for Paul Pelosi. Paul Pelosi is but one of the thousands viciously attacked by illegal immigrants every year.

Ruth Mutter

Thank you Mercury for continuing the excellent coverage of Penn State.  I noticed that it was lacking during the Phillies’ run at the World Series.  Keep up the good work on Penn State.

Science Fact: A dog gets more factual information from sniffing another dog’s rear end than a human does from watching CNN.

The Snarky Conservative

I hate to admit it, but I was spanked as a child when I was not being “nice.” As a result, I now suffer from a condition called, “respect for others!”
