Not sure PA is an improvement over WV to be honest.

Why would any self respecting cryptid migrate north to this place?

Be careful. That is where the dogmen and wendigo live.

SOLUTION: A person cannot run for more than one office at a time. This all could have been avoided if two people in particular hadn't been running for reelection AND running for higher office on the same ballot.

When I was driving my FWD Mitsubishi Eclipse, I kept an extra set of wheels with snow tires on them for the winter.

I'm currently driving a 4WD Jeep Patriot and a good set of all seasons is sufficient for winter out here.

To be fair...that isn't a big loss.

The United States is comprised of 50 states. 4 of those states (PA, VA, MA and KY) call themselves commonwealths, but there is no legal or functional distinction between a commonwealth and a state. 46 of those states call themselves states.

This is a pretty simple and straight forward answer.

The United States has 46 states and 4 commonwealths, but the distinction is in name only. Governance is the same in both states and commonwealths.

That sounds like something that shouldn't be allowed, since it has the potential to create situations like this.

You should only be able to run for one office at a time, and you should have to resign from your previous office to run for another office.

I do not vote Republican.

Well for starters I'm not a Republican and I'm certainly not defending their bullshit. In fact I criticized both parties just in this thread.

I know the idea that someone can oppose both Democrats and Republicans is a foreign concept to you.

Why would I vote for any politician seeking to systematically undermine our civil rights?

Give me one good reason to support Democrats without pointing to the Republicans and saying "they're worse."

Hate speech laws with such a broad and vague interpretation that almost anything could end up classified as hate speech to violate the 1st Amendment, gun control laws that violate the 2nd Amendment, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution and Article 1, Section 21 of the Pennsylvania Constitution and red flag laws that are clear violations of the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments.

If a person cares at all for civil rights in general, they cannot support either party in good conscience as each party is seeking to violate civil rights in some capacity.

I'd be much happier if the Democrats weren't also going after rights every freaking year.

It's so hard for someone who cares about civil rights to support either party in this state.

TAG TEAM THESE WAWA LOVERS!

Bring the folding chairs!

Keep in mind that depending on the source of the violent crime statistics, suicide may or may not be included in that tally. Which can skew the results heavily to one side or the other, especially since areas of low population that have like 6 months out of the year in near total darkness.

WE GONNA FIGHT IN THE PARKING LOT NOW!

Easy solution - let's donate Philly to New York. Then these list people would have to look at the rest of the state.

"In Pennsylvania’s race for governor, Democratic gubernatorial candidate and state Attorney General Josh Shapiro dropped $840,000 on TV ads highlighting the stances of Republican gubernatorial candidate and state Sen. Doug Mastriano — more than double what Mastriano spent on his own ad buys."

Wow - that is really bad.

That seems valid. I could get behind that. I wear a vest with a flag patch from every country I've been to, either for work or vacation (far more work than vacation, sadly).

I probably would. Stickers irritate the hell out of me most of the time, unless it is something really strange. Like the sticker someone made for the Toyota Highlanders that has one stick figure with a sword and a couple headless stick figures to the side.

What makes be cringe the most is political stickers, gun stickers and military vet stickers (especially Navy Chiefs who plaster their cars in goat locker stuff).

I got my Navy vet license plate and a Doom Ducky sticker on the inside of my window at the moment, and that is it.

Not for at least a decade and a lot more NJer and NYers coming to PA to live.

I'll have to keep that in mind. My back window is factory tinted so what stickers I do have taped there are pretty much invisible until you get right up on my window.
