Coatesville Dems: The honor in being a Republican is gone.

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.

The honor in being a Republican is gone.

If you are a regular reader of this blog you probably know that I like several of the local Republican officials here in South East Pennsylvania. That’s because they came up 30 years ago or so when being a Republican was still honorable.

People like Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, Newt Gingrich, George W Bush, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Scott Walker, Michele Bachmann, Pat Buchanan and Rick Perry have made the title Republican a badge of dishonor. They have made the Republican Party the political party for thieves and fruitcakes.

Maybe there is still hope for the Republican Party but it sure doesn’t look that way right now.
