Coatesville Dems: Some Democrats are celebrating the one of the three nationally talked about elections; I’m not, I want Ike back.

Welcome to the Coatesville Dems Blog

Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

Some Democrats are celebrating the one of the three nationally talked about elections; I’m not, I want Ike back.

It's the one in the heavily Republican NY 23 Congressional District where Democrat Bill Owens Beat Republican Doug Hoffman. It is a Republican stronghold where a Democrat has not won an election for almost 150 years. Nationally known Republican extremists campaigned heavily for the Republican Candidate in that congressional district.

Those Democrats are cheering because they see the Democratic victory in upstate NY as a bellwether forecasting that Republican Party can't win a major election. It's now a continuously shrinking Republican Party that is at war with itself. The extremists are winning. The new Republican Leadership is composed mostly of James Dobson, Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee; all three-Christian Reconstructionists.

There is no room at all for John McCain in the Republican Party leadership. The Republican Party National Leadership as it now exists is devoid of moderates. Going from less extreme to most extreme there are a few Republican conservatives, extremist Republicans, Christian Reconstructionists and White Nationalists. Christian Reconstructionists could be described as a Taliban like Christian group. White Nationalists want a white’s only nation.

It may now be impossible for the Republicans to win a major election.

I don’t know if reasonable voices in the Republican Party can stop the rush to extremism. It's not only redneck areas. Extremists can win local school board elections and small municipal elections in Chester County and other areas where you can find intelligent life. They are establishing themselves in local Republican Committees across the USA. It might be good for Democrats in the short term but catastrophic for the USA in the long term.

I want the Republican Party of 60 years ago back; The Eisenhower Republicans. It looks like that will not happen for at least a decade if ever.

I want a Republican like Ike because if you scratch the surface of the "Tea Baggers" you will find Skinheads and very well armed Militia Group members among the extreme and even more extreme. I think there are a lot of people with the identical views of White Nationalist Timothy McVeigh among the Tea Baggers. I think we are heading into a dangerous time of domestic terrorism.

I would rather have a strong Republican Party made up of sane moderate people than a very easily defeated Republican Party made of insane extremists. I think the Republican Party is well in its way to being not only a danger to itself but to all of us.

There are some people among the teabag groups that cheered for Timothy McVeigh when he blew up the Mariah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
