Fawkes story improperly slanted
Interesting that the blogger's apparently don't even have connections to PA (check their contact page and who, and where they are). Is this a paid for democratic blog or simply the ramblings of folks who apparently know nothing about local Bucks County politics?
Well at least a recent story has indicated that Philadelphia proper (i.e.: Not Bucks County) with an 85% democratic voting bloc is the 7th least habitable city in the US. If that is not the best reason to keep Bucks County Republican - and under a hardworking chairman - I don't know what is!
