Don't get snippy with me, missie.

You make a statement like that and just because "you know" of at least two other people ...blah, blah blah ... you expect us to believe there are other letters similar to the ones Bill Jackowitz received. Who got them, LOaD's? If that's the case, they (collectively) would have made an issue of it almost immediately, just as Bill did today.. Don't even try to deny THAT fact. So please, "just because" and "I said so" just don't cut it around here.

The creep writing the letters is a sicko. You don't advertise it on TV. That's what he'll want. Jackowitz erred by disclosing it in public. He should have brought it right to the police and said nothing.

Exactly why should he have brought it to the police, I did not seem to think it was threatening, and whatever did it have to do with city business, IN MY OPINION, maybe they are all writing letters to themselves, to make them look like VICTIMS, as for the fingerprints on the letter, how about the postman, or the people who work at the post office,

Reihners petition demanding the names of posters here

Judy is orchastrating a witch hunt for all the people who dare put her in her place. For what reason does Judy want our names? Is she going to find us and beat us up? Is she going to send one of her goons to beat us up? Is she going to sit on us? (now was that really necessary, i saw judy during the week and she looked great)Really, what does Judy need our names for? Does she want to sue us and/or throw us in jail? Is she going to tell our employer and demand they exercise some form of retribution for tarnishing the Gatelli name?

A witch hunt won't be necessery, Judy. I don't care how ruthless of a thief you are ,Judy, you're really not that important. Besides, your name was already tarnished before the creation of Doherty deceit, although I must admit that a few union reps thought highly of you as you piggybacked Gary's law-and-order campaign. I'd be very careful, Judy, since I suspect that many of the posters that you want the names of are pretty important and powerful people. (do the 15 or so of you really think you have that much power)

It's got to be VERY frustrating for a regime to be attacked by people who can't be attacked back. The MO of the ICN is to use a node in the Network to exercise coercion. This is in part why the Scranton Chamber hate out-of-town businesses nearly as much as out of town landlords. Out of town businesses who aren't involved in parochial politics won't exercise coercion and hire only Irish, while out of town landlords are more likley to rent to people of color. On DD, we don't have to worry about getting hassled at work, etc., for speaking out against Doherty because our identity is protected.

Really, I hope Judy wins. I hope that she wins thousands upon thousands of dollars. Then maybe, just maybe, she won't STEAL millions upon millions for Doherty in order to get her and her family, who would otherwise be unemployed,(really, one of her duaghters works in the private sector, and her other daughter is a qualified teacher, her husband just retired, and Judy is a RN so tell me exactly what yor point is they all have at least a college degree unlike some people I knowoh and one more thing, her son-in law also has a college dgree and worked at the sewer plant BEFORE JUDY was elected so get your facts straighsecure employment. In fact, if she looses I say we take up a collection. Who is with me?

Like I said before, If Judy were smart she'd pick a few posters who she knows aren't Irish and wealthy and she'd go after them. Until then she is biting off more than she can chew(sound a bit paranoid to me!

It's B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T week in Scranton with other mayors here

The EXPERIMENT is almost ready to be taken state wide. Other mayors will see this city and make the determination whether or not their city and their city's population are vulnerable enough to exercise such a strategy of THEFT.

Let those mayors see first-hand what a city on LIFE SUPPORT looks like. Let them see the happy and flashy veneer that conceals a ROTTON CORE. Let them see what happenens when you pump millions upon millions of dollars from taxpayers who are already poor and overburdened into a city that is DEAD.

The only thing I ask is that they come back and see the city when the life support plug is pulled. That is, ask them to come back when Doherty can't get any more loans as he has exhuasted the ability of every authority and board to take out loans and circumvent law and citizenship participation.

*
Can you all just picture it .... the Mayors gathered ... looking like a bunch of mad scientists ... I have to laugh at the thought of that ... it's the "Great Mayoral Conspiracy of 2007".

* Anti where is this "Happy" (according to DD there are no Happy People in Scranton) "Flashy" (pretty much ... the downtown although it is nicer than it once was it certainly could not be deemed Flashy") Veneer that you speak of?
You know what people like about Scranton ... the fact that they come to our city and they are treated like they are a part of our city ... our best assetare our citizens ... that's right ... we treat people in such a manner that they fall in love with our city ... we are welcoming ... and for the most part we are friendly ...

I was born in Scranton ... I was raised in Scranton and well I just could not imagine living anywhere else ... I love this city ... I am pleased with some of the changes (not all)... do I like the taxes ... no ... do I think it is necessary for taxes to be what they are ... yes I do ... it does not mean that I have to like it. Do I think that our Police and Fire Departments deserve contracts with raises ... YES I DO! I would like to see some of my tax dollars go toward them getting a raise ... because yes they do deserve it. They put their lives on the line ... I can tell you I would never be brave enough to run into a burning building ... at least I don't think I would be. I am grateful that these people are there when we need them.

What I love is this ... I still live in a neighborhood that is safe ... I can take a walk at midnight and know that I will be safe ... I can actually sleep at night in my home and not lock my door ... in fact I can leave it wide open for the fresh air ... and feel secure in the fact that I will not be robbed or murdered in my sleep. My neighbors are more like family then neighbors ... so ... tell me where will I ever move that will give me such a feeling of security and family ... and guess what ... I live in a very diverse neighborhood ... there are many different cultures coming together ... I love it. I can not think of another place that I would rather live in.

Our beautiful city is in my opinion not on life support ... Anti feels it is and that's his opinion. I understand he is frustrated with taxes ... and he feels that his right to free speech is being stomped on ... I can not tell him how he should feel ... I can only say how I feel.I think that if my taxes are being used and I can see them at work ... and I do ... Nay Aug Park, Connell Park, all of the parks ... road work being done ... my garbage is always picked up ... I have, should I need it ... the services of a professional fire dept ... and I did need them ... they are the best! ... I also have the services of a professional Police Department ... God willing I will never need them ... but should I need them ... they are there.

Although I do enjoy watching the coverage of Council Meetings on Channel 61 ... I do feel that because of the cameras being in Council Chambers and at School Board meeting that it deters many citizens from coming out and speaking ... some of us do not want to be on television (I'm someone who does not want a camera on me) ... so those of us who feel this way ... wehave our voice stifled ... we don't get to speak ourminds ... and exercise our freedom of speech.

The speakers at Council are constantly citing the sunshine act ... but not all matters are public matters ... personnel issues are not subject to public discussion ... yet the LoD crew continuously bring up these issues ... it's one thing to talk and discuss if you do not use the employees name ... but they bring names into the picture and well that is blatantly against the Sunshine Act ...

Jim Davis a regular (and I think that Anti is Jim ... just my opinion) comes to a Council Meeting to discuss problems he is having with the School Board ... that Jim is not City Business ... it is School Board Business ... he in turn goes to School Board meetings to discuss his problems with the City ... come on now ... you need to take your issues to the proper people ...

I hate the way that the Jr. Council is continuously being picked on by adults ... although ... I do think that young Mr. Miller should not be signing in before others ... if he truly is doing that .... and sometimes ... although if the adults are picking on him he has every right to fight back ... I don't like the way he speaks to or about adults ... but come on now we are adults ... do we really have to pick on this young man ...I think not.

Council meetings have become a circus and that seems to be what the LoD wants ... they come there and antagonize the council members ... and then expect that because they are elected/appointed officials that they have no right to defend themselves ... I will again say that if we all go through life and treat others as we ourselves would like to be treated that we will find that people are morecooperative ... and wejust may getthe answers to our questions that we seek ... If Fay were more respectful ... and less ... antagonistic at that podium ... she just may find that Judy mightrespect her... look at her ... andyes even give her an answer if she has one ... but Fay is Fay ... she is in my opinion a veryunhappy woman ... obviously she thinks that life has not been fair to her ... but instead of learning from life ... taking the good and the bad as well ... and realizing that in life we need the bad things because without them ... well we would never beable to appreciate the good things we do have ... all she sees is the bad and shedwells on it ... which in my opinion is what makes her unhappy.

I don't know if this post makes sense and how about that for a rambling post Ducky ... LOL ... Sorry if I bored you guys and gals ... but ... hey it's been a while since I had a good ramble.

RE: LETS HAVE A DOHERTY ALL TIME GREATEST LIES AND SPIN MOMENTS...I will get it started
NOTADOBEENEVERWILLBE wrote:88-05 Statutory rape of girl (Luzerne St) West Side

What is the usefulness of adding the rape of a girl in West Scranton to the list of Dohertys deceit? Did Doherty rape her? And quite frankly if you're suggesting that because Doherty cut police this girl got raped then that is a VERY WEAK argument. Show me scholarly literature that suggests a relationship between beat cops and lower instances of statutory rape. If you're taking a stab at the biased paper, then fine. Personally, I don't want to know about every rape because of privacy-- but again, that's just me.

The assault/car theft you referred to made the paper. Is that assult/theft Doherty's fault somehow? Explain to me how that is Doherty's fault or why that should be listed with Doherty's deceit. I am ALL for calling Doherty out. Personally, I HATE Doherty. But when you make crazy claims suggesting that the lack of beat cops is enticing assaults and robbery then your argument against Doherty loses some credibility. It makes it look like that you dont want liberty, equality and fraternity but more cops and more bargaining power.

Somebody answer me this: How did the Scranton police effectively police Scranton before Clinton's program? Was Scranton a war zone then? Was the late 80's and early 90's a different time? There were blacks and hispanics back then (even though the gangs in Scranton are white). There was drugs too. Remember WHEN the so-called "War on Drugs" took place.

Ohh, but I need to remind myself that back in those days city Unions were powerful actors in a pacified political machine and nobody would dare question crime and justice.

Hire all the cops you want. Get all the bargaining power want. The police are still going to be used UNEVENLY and remember that you will only police and thus displace the crisis. You'll never diffuse it that way.

Now Anti believes that Chris Doherty is responsible for every bad thing in the world ... along with Judy Gatelli and Sherry Fanucci ... he makes them all come off like the Anti-Christ! That's all I have to say on this post ... Wow!
Sorry Ducky ... no ramble as I do not know what to even say! I am for once left speechless!

I am not going to put up Anti's post in it's entirety because I find him to be ... boring and long winded ... but I did feel the need to address this statement by him:

Antisystemicmovements wrote:
What does "city business" mean anyhow? It means that everything you say must either 1.) pertain to a strategy or new idea to help make the city grow 2.) boost the city in a way that would attract outside investors (ie. you must 'talk up' the city, and 3.) fight for a cause that the dominant growth machine support (such as the smoking ban). That's it. Anything critical is Anti-GROWTH, and thus NOT city business.

What does "city business" mean ... well I can tell you that it does not mean discussing the way one feels about getting a letter in the mail ... not city business ... it does not mean discussing a letter to the editor that someone has written and the "fishwrap" had the nerve to print ... not city business ... it does not mean that you should come to a city council meeting to discuss your problems with the Scranton School Board ... not city business ... it does not mean that if you are having an issue with one or more of your neighbor that you should go to council in most instances this is ... that's right you guessed it ... not city business. How about when the speakers are picking on the children that make the Jr. Council ... is that city business ... I don't think it is ... What is not city business is going to a meeting and asking a question over and over and over ... knowing that it is none of your business ... you know like when Mr. McGoff was asked if he had a sign in his yard for Mayor Doherty during the election ... well I have to say ... again ... not city business. The vast majority of Doomers act like concerned citizens ... when in fact they are there for their 15 minutes of fame. The more noise they make then the longer people will talk about what it is they had the nerve to say this week ... and it assures that most (not all as I have stopped watching) will tune in again next week ... I think it is sad and disgraceful ... and it makes us the laughing stock of the county ... and quite possibly the state ... but they areachieving their goal ... and that's all that really counts ... they do this in the name of free speech ... but yet they did not defend theright of Phyllis Humphreys to have the right to the freedom of speech ... and no she didn't address city business either ... but hell why didn't any of you come to the defense of this woman ... I was at a meeting back in the days the she attended and well you all made fun of her ...right to her face ... but if someone did that to one of you well you would have had a fit. In fact someone did and well ... Sam Patilla who is every bit as much of a character as Phyllis was ... couldn't take it ...and ended up being charged ... sad don't you think? I could go on and on ... but I won't!

Nowtell me is it city business to be taken up with council all of the things I have mentioned ... go and voice your opinion about how displeased you are with the performance of the mayor and certain council members ... talk about the budget ... talk about your displeasure of the money spent on Nay Aug Park ... etc....but let me ask ... why can this not be done in a way that is still respectful ... when what you want from these people is to be respected ... you all know that respect is earned and not given away and that if you give respect then you will be given respect in return ... but you all know this, right? ...

Givethe world your best and it will come back to you!

Here is just another example of the stupidity and ignoranceof Anti ... what the hell is he talking about ... And again due to the "Long Windedness" of Anti I only took the portion of the post that I am responding to!
Antisysemticmovements wrote:After all, Mexicans work hard, buy property****, take care of their property (many of them are in landscaping), care about their child's education, open businesses, buy off one another, and thus lure other mexican/latin americans from outside the city here to do business. All of this is incontrast to black people, who are considered less than human and without any of these qualities. Remember, Mexican americans are a lot more European than African-Americans. It is POSSIBLE for Mexicans to be white someday. Hell, if the Irish can f*** over African Americans and become white, why not Mexicans?!
He is kidding right ... because Mexico is not a European country ... and when were the Irish anything other than white? When did the Irish F*ck over the African Americans by becoming white? Oh and by the way ... as the map indicates ... clearly Africa is closer to Europe than Mexico ... I'm sorry Anti ... but it is!

countries_europe_map.jpg


Now you will see that Mexico is very far removed from Europe ... I think Anti that you should go back to School and take a geography class ... just my opinion ... stay ignorant if you so choose!


latin-america-political-map.jpg


Anti ... who in your opinion does not F*ck over the African Americans ... I think you are paranoid and should immediately seek professional help ... I myself have no problem getting along with any of the other races ... Asians Americans ... African Americans ...people of Hispanic Heritage ...I could go on and on ...I treat people with the same respect that they treat me ... isn't that the way it should work ... I don't hate anyone for the color of their skin ... or for the origin of descent ... it's just not what I look at when I meet someone ... and again I will say ... you get what you give ... show someone respect and they will show you the same respect. With most people that is the way it works ... with people like you ... I have to say ... you hate for the sake of hating and there are people of every background that feel like you do ... but that is not the way the majority of the people feel ... Thank God!

Sorry another rambling long post guys ... but I think by now you all know what this guy does to me ... God I wish he would come here to post ... even if only one time!

Maybe you'll get your wish Lus. But he won't come here and bash Pilchesky. He's into deep (too deep sometimes) political/social/economic issues. You'll bore him to death if Pilchesky is the only subject. I don't always agree with him, but you have to give him some credit. He brings a wealth of information to DD. You have to pick it apart and decide what you agree or disagree with, but he brings volumes.

Now I'm not a Sociologist, but I think most 'modern' Mexicans can trace their lineage back to indigenous peoples and Europeans (from Spain), although truth be told, I've never really thought about it until now. Funny how Anti does seem to put quite a bit of thought into race stuff though...about as much as I suspect most White Supremicists do. Nice company our man Anti is in with, don't you think?

Oh, and I'm wondering which specific Irish have 'F***' over African Americans? My grandmother on my father's side had the last name of 'Connell'...and I think the only thing she abused was the bottle...so it wasn't her. Anyway, since black US soldiers back in the late 1800's (I think the term was 'Buffalo Soldiers') no doubt fought American Indians, does that mean that they (American Indians) were 'F***' over by African Americans?

Anti's single biggest flaw is that he always looks to the outside for someone to blame and never looks within. The fact as I see it is this: all humans have tragic flaws. We all seem to have a natural tendency to be around people who are like us and we tend to not want to be around those who differ. This is part of our tribal heritage. Some of us are able to overcome this natural tendency...others, like Anti, just can't seem to take the intellectual/evolutionary leap.

Shari ... I understand what you are saying ... and I don't even want to bash Anti ... I want to try and understand him and his hatred for all things that are not African American ... he is quite welcome here to try and make me understand ... I will give him a sub forum so he can explain his feelings of the Irish and what it is that we of Irish decent have done to him ... I know that I have done nothing to him and yet he would hate me simply because I am Irish ... and you speak of lumping ... isn't that lumping?????

I do not feel that he is educating anyone on anything other than hatred ... now if I were looking to be a racist ... I guess this is who I would go to for lessons ... but I am not someone who enjoys bashing anyone simply because of thier race or heritage ... it's just not me ... But I would dearly love to understand this individual ... I really would ... and we don't only bash Pilchesky here ... I have not even read one of his posts today ... today is dedicated to Anti ... Joey didn't enter my mind today.

I think anti and sheri and the whole crew need to figure something out and it's this: some people drift along and let life happen to them, some people actually take control of their lives and live it. Why don't you all stop whinning and blaming everyone else for your stupid choices in life. If you don't make enough money.... tough! Find a job were you do! You don't like it here.... tough! Move somewhere were you do! Stop blaming everyone else because you think some how you are entilted to something. If you put this much effort in to education you could be a CEO of business by now. What a bunch of piss the pants babies. whaaaaa whaaaa he makes more money than I do!! He must be doing somthing wrong. Wrong you are! Ya your life is someone's fault!Let's blame Dorherty! Who you going to blame after him?? Try looking in the mirror... that's the person responsible for your life. Deal with it!

Doherty's "smoke and mirrors" is working so far.......
Marie Schumacher has an eye for waste, political corruption and unfairness like very few people who speak before council. I had a hunch based on my knowledge of this city's history that the medical school was going to have plenty of social and financial costs. Marie pointed out specifically where medical school deal is going to cost the citizens of Scranton. Cudos to her, and more people should question terms of the medical school being built in Scranton.

For Doherty, erecting a medical school on the property of a former public housing complex will kill 2 birds with one stone: it will weed and seed in one shot.

I am near certain that the talk of moving the school to a spot in the mid-valley is just leverage to extort a parking garage and perhaps other amenities/subsidies out of the City of Scranton. Are these costs worth it? Sure, the school is going to raise the property value and rents of surrounding properties (and you know how the ICN love their property value and maybe their pensions more than their children), but is it going to help create fiscal solvency of a vulnerable city if Doherty must break the taxpayers to pay for what it takes to have a medical school here?

Janet Evans disappointed me. I understand that she is a politician, and that to question the medical school would create many political problems (I know how Wayne Evans gets when it comes to his property value. He's ruthless. Sticks and stones may break bones, but get in-between an ICNer and their property value and they will KILL you). This consensus that the medical school is going to reverse economic decline is problematic. Janet should be more critical than she has been. I expect BIll to sit there and get along with everyone and let time go by until he can get himself into a higher office, but not Janet.

Remember, the convention center, Steam town mall, baseball stadium, and all the rest of the cookie-cutter/copy-cat projects that this city has engaged in have not fulfilled their goal. Unless, of course, they were meant to generate one time profits for developers and people in real-estate who could careless how their projects do after they're built. In that sense, they've been pretty sucessful.

Take steamtown mall as a for instance: here we knocked down many historical buildings (which other cities would kill for; and which this administration is dumping money into fixing the facades on since they LURE the creative class) to create a downtown SUBURBAN MALL. About 15 years later, a downtown-style mall in Moosic, built on the cities edge, is sucking the life out of Steamtown (not to mention Dickson city). Cudos to Ozzie Quinn for fighting the project, even though he was labeled an obstructionist by the Times.

Don't assume that the medical school is going to help this city. Ask Robert Merton's very important question, "Functional for WHOM?!". Again, the medical school may help developers and some in real-estate, but is it going to help the taxpayer? Are we paying for a city that is slowly WEEDING us out? Lord knows that locals won't be going to the Medical school: we can't even afford the inflated tuition at an overrated U of S.

I just checked and I must say that nobody has jumped to Jans defens as of this time.

Now here is a question ... who among us does not like it when thier property value rises?

Do we keep our properties up ... do we like low crime neighborhoods? I would have to say that we do ... not just ICN'ers ... but I would think all people.

I have neighbors that just dumped a ton of money in the home they live in ... all new windows ... new roof ... new siding ... and a brick front ... this must have cost a fortune ... they are now working on lanscaping the yard ... now to me this seems to be someone who wants to raise the value of their property ... do you all agree? They put a ton of money into this home ... guess what ... they are not card carrying members of the ICN ... they are a very lovely young African American couple who want to make a beautiful home for their children ... they work hard to be able to do these things ... and you know what ... they are about the best neighbors I have ever had .... (I used to live 3 doors away from my parents ... and well they were the best) .... Now I have also in my life lived next door to a Hispanic family ... also great neighbors who put a lot of time effort money and love into their property .... so I guess that Anti must be about the only person who does not want to raise the value of his property ... because most (won't say all) homeowners do not want to have to take less if they end up having to sell ... they want more ... so how do we accomplish this ... we raise the value of our property by keeping it up. It is simple.

Now let me ask this ... why would someone be against a medical school? I would think that having a medical school would be a boom to the economy of this city .... it will certainly bring in people ... and more likely than not the people will live close by .... which will help with the tax base (increasing it) .... although the school itself will be tax exempt the high salaries of those who work at the school will not be exempt. It means more jobs for people ... they are going to need people to clean and maintain the building ... they are going to need secretaries ... accountants ... etc. How can we say no to increasing the tax base and providing positions for people that will pay more than working in the steamtown mall? Isn't this something we have been wanting for a very long time?

Now I do not know about all of you ... I cannot worry about how the stores in Dickson City will fare in all of this ... Steamtown should do better with all of the medical students ... landlords will do better in the downtown .... with all of the medical students ... properties should do better with the professors and staff who will be looking to buy property ... the hospitals will benefit with the medical school as a resource to draw from and also we will possibly have more quality Doctors at our disposal ... it could eliminate the need to leave town for quality medical treatment ... quite possibly it will bring people here seeking medical treatment ... so where is it that we will loose in this situation .... Parents of students who wish to become Doctors should benefit ... they will possibly be able to have thier children attend a quality Medical School locally and the acquire a position within a local hospital or with a local physician ... again I ask who is the loser in this situation?

Anti ... your name fits you well ... you are Anti-Everything ... the most negative person I have ever had the displeasure to read the rants of. I offer you a challenge ... try and find one (just one) positive thing about the city of Scranton ... do you think you can do that?

Hmmm, if I follow my lineage and interpret it the same way anti does, I should have burst forth from the loins of a spear-chucking, blonde Hun or a snaggle-toothed Druid; coupled with the fact that just because I tan, as opposed to burn, in the summertime I must have some sort of quasi-afro blood coursing through my veins.

That doesn't bother me in the least - but if it is in any way linked with the same lineage from which HE is a decendant, I'll be slitting my wrists in a matter of minutes.

MA - grab the bucket !

... and my most sincere apologies to any Huns and/or Druids who may have been offended because I dragged them into the quagmire. (Don't want to have another one of those Geico caveman snaffu's on our hands.)

If you re-read my post, I'm not whinning or defending anyone. Anti posts things I completely disagree with. But that's not all he posts. He's seemingly well read (even though he could add a few more moderate publications to his library) and does bring alternative ideas to a subject. That's what I meant when I said he adds something to the discussion. I think Anti tries to sum up someone's actions with a broader understanding of what drives them to do what they do. He generalizes issues too much.
Chris Doherty's environment while growing up probably had an impact on his current actions and philosophies, but I don't blame "Irish decent" or "Catholic" practices for his actions. Chris Doherty, in my opinion, is much more simple than that. He's just a child of privilege***,
who was handed everything growing up, who doesn't think about the plight of average people of average means, who's actions are based on what's good for him instead of what's good for the city and is simply an *******.
Anti's opinions have worth to me. I can disagree with him often, but he does bring something to the table in a lot of aspects, like it or not.
Some here don't like me and I'm fine with that. All I try to do here and over there is bring information for all to see. Beat me up, fine. But if I post something here or over there, you will see it, think about it and remember it when you hear more on the subject. I really don't care what motivated Joe or Lus to create these message boards. I'm happy they're here so people can exchange information and opinions. Beleive it or not, I think most people over there feel the same way I do. This area is starving for the free flow of information. This board and Joe's board provides that service.





***Privilege
1. a right, immunity, or benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most: the privileges of the very rich.
2. a special right, immunity, or exemption granted to persons in authority or office to free them from certain obligations or liabilities: the privilege of a senator to speak in Congress without danger of a libel suit.
3. a grant to an individual, corporation, etc., of a special right or immunity, under certain conditions.
4. the principle or condition of enjoying special rights or immunities.

Agreed Tim, but Doherty should walk a mile in our shoes before he borrows any more money that we have to pay back.

Or maybe we could just let the system work the way it's supposed to...If someone in office doesn't preform as the majority want, we get to vote them out of office. Oh wait we did do that and he was re-elected! Oh but I am sure that doesn't mean anything! However should Missy Jan get elected that will mean something,...then it will mean that is what the public wants.... but Mr. Doherty nooooooooooo he doesn't represent the majority of the public noooooo.

Yeah Ihave, and the Germans kept Hitler in power a long time till we and the allies stepped in and changed things. Consider me one of the allied forces. I'm not waiting around till the next election. Enough damage has been done already.

"Oh wait we did do that and he was re-elected!"

Are you really proud of that?

Comparing Doherty and Scranton to Hitler and Germany is by far the most assinine analogy thrown around by you and the DD crew. It is complete hyperbole and you all know it. The attempted shock value destroys any other credibility your arguments may otherwise have had.

Take that childish nonsense to the other board. It's not going to fly over here.
