Jerry, It appears that you have a grudge toward Holden by evidence of the number of letters you write re: his performance. Did you work at Tyco and have contact with him? Why this relentless critique of him vs others who have performed poorly in Congress?

No grudge. It would be nice to be able to drain the entire Washington swamp, but Tim Holden is the only incompetent congressman District 17 can do anything about. No point in worrying about things we can't fix. Holden is a problem we can and should correct.

I'll take you at your word that there is no grudge between you and Tim because IMO you are an honest person. You're exercising your rights as a good citizen to point out his less then stellar performance.That's helpful to those of us who don't follow politics closely.

Yes, but sometimes when's it's legal it's not as much fun!(or is that the perception only) It would be a vote against someone..not particularly for the other candidate.My friend Newt G. thinks it's unethical but his standards may be higher then mine.
Do u know who Russ Bomberger is...former Leb resident or what?
