What are your thoughts on Chris Phillips for Mayor ... the kids across the hall seem to be pushing for this guy ... and well I have to say that if they are pushing him then I could not bring myself to vote for him... and I do believe that he is one of them ... another good reason for me not to place my trust in this guy.

I'll certianly listen to what Chris Phillips may have to say as a candidate for Mayor. As for voting for him:

On the plus side, when he did speak before council he was, by and large, respectful in tone and also took the time to actually dress appropriately as well (no gold lame jumpsuit or goofy-a$$ed tee shirts). I also agreed with his cause...in my opinion, sellling the Southside Complex was a mistake from the very beginning.

On the potentially negative side, I really don't know what the guy does for a living. Does anyone here know? I'll immediately disqualify him if he has some local government appointed position. No disrespect to anyone intended, but I'd really prefer someone with private-sector leadership experience.

On the wholly negative side, his endorsement by some of the feedble-minded crowd of followers at DD doesn't help his campaign. Think about it: if DD were THAT influential...

...Gary DiBileo would be Mayor
...Janet Evans would be a State Representative
...Glenn Cashuric would be County Controller


(and by the way, I actually did vote for you Glenn).

Mr. Phillips is a Loss Prevention Manager. Private sector all the way. He can actually win in a one-on-one race with the mayor, who, I still believe, will announce sometime in January that he is retiring.

Council predictions: Evans, DiBileo, Gatelli/Rogan.

I don't think the Mayor will be making any such announcement Glenn ... but I guess time will tell and come January we will definetly know for sure ... I hope you are not relying on Pilchesky for your information as he was the one that announced 2 years ago that Doherty was resigning to take a position in Harrisburg .... hmmmm he's still here.

I think you are going to owe that coffee to IHave!

Yes I do think you are right on that Samuel ... I don't know if he was crushed ... but he was defeated ... I do remember him running.

Good luck to Mr Phillips if he makes the decision to run. I'll certainly listen to what he has to say, but if the rhetoric sounds like any of the crap that comes out of the DD camp he'll be sunk. That crew can't get anyone elected, mainly because it's really only a handful of people who have a bark that is far worse than their bite. I even think that they've managed to alienate some of the municpal union folks (outside of DPW and Clerical, as Pilchesky burned those bridges a long time ago). It's toubh to be an influential leader when you are known as the "local nut who files all the lawsuits".

I believe he's making it obvious that he's NOT running.

When does that kickoff? What might that involve?

The day after the last day for filing nomination petitions, and Doherty, not McGoff, has filed his. It'll be a blistering, all-out attack on the relationship between the Times and Chris Doherty over the past 6 years. It's all been neatly filed and catagorized. (this is just another of Joe Pilchesky's false promises ... he is going to go up against the Times ... HA! And from what I have seen so far from Chris Doherty ... well attack away because you are nothing more than a gnat to him ... slightly annoying ... but not worth giving much thought! That's reality ... how many campaigns have you been through now? How often have you crawled under his skin?)

I can understand the Times getting behind their political Golden boy, but the Times has repeatedly, by omission, by spin, by misdirection and by manipulation lied toand betrayed the residents of the area, much to our harm.(I would dearly love to know what harm has been brought to you by the Times?... hey how did you fare with the Scranton Post? And is the Times/Leader everything you hoped it would be? Have they cracked the case on corruption in the City of Scranton ... have they uncovered the huge cover up of said corruption by the Scranton Times? I didn't think so ... )

We're only talking $2,000.00 per edition for an assripping expose`of that relationship every two weeks until the election.(Ok so here is the first of your false promises ... you are going to put out $2,000per week out of your pocket to expose the relationship between the mayorand the times ...you should seek out help now)That should amount to about 6 issues, or a measly $12,000.Not a problem at all. (Who is financing this endeavor of yours??? Where do you ... or who do you get your money from to be able to afford in these hard economic time to throw away $12,000)In addition, there will be non-stop informacials on radio and tv. Like I said, historyawaits the players. I'll be there. (Oh I get it ... it's kind of like when you promised to go to the podium to serve Judy with ... let me see 6 subpoenas for6 consecutive weeks ... you have a thing for the number 6 don't you?And I'm guessing that it will take more than $12,000 to run "infomercials non stop for 6 weeks ... just a thought)I'll truely be disappointed if the mayor is a no-show.I know Gatelli will be there, but our lineup of council speakers will methodically put her re-elections hope well out of reach.

Charles and Piccolino better stay on the bench.There won't be a shortage of clips, late hits, illegal blocks, roughing the passer, tripping, personal foulsand unsportsmanlike conduct.(Sounds like a threat to me ... hmmmm ... or do we all think that heis "politically speaking"?

Thanks for asking. Nothing will be sacred in 09. NOTHING.
So many times Joe has made promises to the kids across the hall ... and so many times he has fallen short on keeping these promises ... yet they still believe that he will be the one to lead them to the promised land ... I don't get it ... he tells them one thing ... and does another ... yet they still blindly follow ... they pump up this narcissist... they worship him and the ground he and his wife walk on ... and now we have been following this for a little over 2 years now ... and by now you would think that I would learn to understand what it is they see in this man ... but I can't see it ...
You would think that the kids across the hall would see the connection to thefact that what they endorse politically ... people vote the opposite.
And I really wish that they would stop speaking foran entire city ... oh he has posters ...but when you figure out that there areroughly 70,000 people living in this city and there are 2,000+ registered members(many with multiple screen names) they do not represent an entire city ... yet they claim to speak for the people ... well last time I checked ... I was one of the people ... and they DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME!
I do not claim to speak for the posters here at PD of which we have 51 members ... no a lot of members ... and most don't post ... I do not encourage them to think as I think ... or vote as I vote ... I encourage a free expression of opinions ... as long as you are respectful in expressing said opinion ... hell Joe acts as though he knows it all ... and I know that I don't ... and I continue to learn something new each and every day from our posters ... we can go a week with nothing to say here ... and that's ok ... but when we have something to say you can bet it's worth reading ... not just a bunch of crap that someone made up and filled with rumors, sexual innuendo ... and just plain mean spiritedness ...
I think I got off track and I'm done now ... but anyway ... Pilchesky makes more empty promises ... that's my opinion ... only time will tell ...but if history repeats itself ... they are empty promises.

He is soo full of himself, isn't he?
::: ... That should amount to about 6 issues, or a measly $12,000.Not a problem at all. ... :::

joe can come up with that kind of money easily. All he's got to do is solicit each of his bogus DD user names. There are so many, it'll come out to a buck and a quarter apiece. Even he knows the rest of them are cheap bastards who won't come up with a nickel to defray the cost.
