Yep, if needed, ballots will be miraculously "found" in Filthadelphia, all marked with a "D".

A carpetbagger is a carpetbagger even if they are a Dem. Interesting how folks choose to ignore that

Unfortunately Fetterman shortly before the Pa primary had a serious stroke which left him mentally impaired so much so that his one stump speech in Pittsburgh sounded like baby talk.

Of the two, I would go for Dr. Oz, who is the lesser of two evils. Maybe Oz will step up. Fetterman, even if he wanted to, can't.
Are you a Republican who would have liked someone other than OZ win republican primary? I'm guessing you would like to see Doug Mastriano be the Governor.

He is currently up by 8 points on FiveThirtyEight. I guess lots of people are planning to vote for him.

All good reasons not to vote for Oz, but his motivation to leave his job as a cardiothoracic surgeon and push misleading, science-free and unproven alternative therapies such as homeopathy, as well as fad diets, detoxes and cleanses is my reason not to support him. He is an intelligent person and knows what he has been peddling on TV for years is a bunch of lies. How could anyone trust him? Anyone considering voting for Dr. Oz should read these articles:

While Dr Oz doesn't have any political experience, at least he is a fairly intelligent and well-spoken person who is capable of learning and communicating. Keep in mind that Ronald Reagan was a movie actor prior to getting into politics and many people said he was unqualified to be governor or president, yet he was elected governor of California TWICE and president of the US TWICE and did an excellent job in both roles. I think that Dr Oz could do likewise. At least he has a far better chance of being successful than a man who has never worked in his life and whose ability to reason and communicate are suspect at best.
I agree that Dr, Oz is intelligent. He was a top heart surgeon, but he is dishonest and unethical becuse of his involvement with pushing quack cures on his TV show.

He bought a house that he plans to remodel. He has been using his in-laws address as his PA address.

The lack of critical thinking, combined with a totally hidebound mentality is astonishing, but oh so typical of those who pull the "D" lever, no matter what.:smack
Do you know for a fact if Fetterman actually drinks or gets high, or are you just making assumptions?

Senator Robert Byrd (Dem) of WV never lived in WV in his whole life. He was born in VA and had an aunt who lived just across the state line in nearby WV. I think he may have purchased a vacant lot in WV once, yet he was a Democrat senator representing WV for about 50 years.

The only time he set foot in WV was when he was campaigning for another election or when he was going there for another road, bridge, or building to be named after him for "bringing home the pork."

So don't make it sound like Mehmet Oz is doing anything new. He's just taking a page out of the Democrat playbook.

I'm pretty sure the vacant lot is where Robert "Grand Wizard" Byrd held his KKK meetings.

Am I the only one who thinks they recognize Fetterman from a paleolithic cave painting?
