So, you're not just saying, "do what we tell you," you're saying, "do what we tell you or else!"  Wow.

Where's the "we" coming from? I spoke in the singular. Most specifically, I'm saying "Get the fvck back on that leash and stay there until your term is up, then run for another term as a Republicrat,

OR ELSE!!!!!!!!!

Rogan is showing he has a set of nuts and will do what HE thinks is best, and not be guided around by the nose like some other former council members.  Imagine that, a free thinker.

It doesn't take a set of nuts to stab your co-council majority members in the back with this kind of a political move. How in God's name can anyone with a splinter of loyalty sense see that as showing a set of nuts. It's betrayal, 100% pure. 

He should have said he wanted to be an independent and free thinker when he was running for this seat. He wouldn't be there. That's what he did as a republican in the 07 election and got it stuck up his childish ass.

I'll see your bus and raise you the end of the "supermajority."

Loyalty issues take precedent.You're embarrassing yourself. This is the third incident with Rogan in less than six months that YOU know of. I know of others that I've kept to myself. Rogan's suffering of longterm consequences for his betrayal to party loyalty outweighs the short term benefits of a supermajority for the purposes of keeping other public officials in line in the future. It's not all just about city council. The bar has been raised across the board in terms of expecting all public officials to conduct themselves accordingly.

Your political vision seems as fogged as your political wisdom. When, in the history of this city, has any republican hastily switched to a democrat just to get elected and just as quickly publicly proclaimed and practiced republican loyalty? There are many thousands of betrayed dems in this city who would love to have Pat Rogan's nuts for breakfast today. I'm the one who can serve them up. Why? Because of what I do and because no one can stop me from what I do. However, I'll make a stew of it. There'll be more than Rogan's nuts in the pot.  

Republicans like Lou Barletta, Andy Jarbola and Jim Williams, and others, will wish the betrayer named Pat Rogan never walked this earth if Rogan chews his way off that leash one more time. Republican Stew will include their nuts and others.

In that regard, this is a gift to the people. Those republicans, at minimum, could use a good nut crushing anyway. The DA staff will love the special attention courtesy of Pat Rogan. The love their love affairs in that office, as you well know. I don't think Barletta was ever introduced to exposure of the electronic kind. He flies under that radar down there. It would take less than an hour to set up a site linked to a message board specifically for the people of Hazelton. See Barlettadeceit.com. I can moderate it from right here.

This is Scranton, politically speaking, live by betrayal - die by betrayal.

A hammer isn't a hammer unless you use it.
