From a news article:

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney got no votes in 59 voting districts in the city of Philadelphia last week on Election Day.

None.

And the unofficial vote tallies have President Barack Obama beating the former Massachusetts governor by a combined vote of 19,605 to 0, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Both were tied to the unions at the hip and both were to a greater or lesser degree, out of it.

Stark should have turned in his keys years ago. He didn’t live in California, he was the most obnoxious Congressman in Washington and he was extremely argumentative with his constituents.

Allen was an SEIU man through and through. It is a very good thing the plug was pulled on him and he only served one term. He too was a carpet bagger. Renting a room in San Rafael and calling that home was a total sham.

There are many more in Sacramento that need to be turned out and hopefully their time is short.

Good riddance to the both of them.

Happy Veterans Day to all of our Vets.

Thanks for what you did for our country.

If Levine received an edge by capturing the vast majority of Republican votes that would show that the top two primary system had a large influence. If on the other hand they split the Republican vote but Levine won by capturing the Marin county vote that would show that the new district was the deciding factor.

But I don’t experience any rush at rejoicing that one weasel democrat is being replaced by another weasel democrat.

We’ve just seen a changing of names only I fear. The total disregard to fiscal responsibility and kowtowing to unions will continue. There’s no joy happening here except I don’t have to see that union-backside kissing smile of Allen’s anymore.

You’ll find him over on Santa Rosa Ave selling used cars soon. What else can he do ? Seriously?

One slip up and the world discovers the corruption within Sonoma County government.

Maybe, but he doesn’t want to protect illegals as much as their EMPLOYERS do!!!! And don’t complain, AFTER ALL, it’s good for business, and what’s good for business is GOOD FOR AMERICA.

“Not to mention the carpetbagger issue.”

Like Ernesto Olivares and Efren Carrillo before him!

He wants to protect people who ILLEGALLY enter the country, drive ILLEGALLY without a license, and drive ILLEGALLY without insurance.

Not to mention the carpetbagger issue.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out… or better yet, let it.
