Despite his medical degree and an MBA from Penn, Dr. Oz has indeed shown a knack for quackery, at least in the view of the dozen or so Columbia faculty who wanted him removed from that school for “disdain for science and evidence based medicine”, and in the view of the medical publications and public health entities who’ve pointed out that many of his recommendations have no scientific basis.

Yep, these are facts and the carpetbagger that lives in New Jersey and works in New York City now wants to represent me in the U.S. Senate, and the disgraced and defeated former POTUS has anointed this fellow tee vee huckster. 2 peas in a pod, are Trump and Oz. Perhaps it was Oz's hawking of phony "supplements"-- a product that got him charged with fraud and having to pay millions to settle misleading advertising claims---that drew the real estate huckster to endorse. Any way you slice it...ugh and yuck, IMO.

Pennsylvania native and current resident of the Keystone State, am I.

Unfortunately the PA GOP, like the entire national Republican organization, no longer resembles the party that once sent John Heinz to the US Senate. Here, as is nationally, this is a party that is immune to facts and bereft of decency. Oz is molding himself after Trump and mimics him consistently, and quacks about The Donald's endorsement as he spends mega millions to ingratiate himself with our commonwealth's MAGA minions.

Once upon a time here in Pennsylvania there were reasonable men and women in the Republican party. A genuine scientist could feel welcome; educated people could stand in the GOP tent and experience no cognitive dissonance; the state of the state was the topic and concern; Republicans, back then believed reality existed...and truth mattered. No more.

Currently Oz is slightly ahead in the polls with another non Pennsylvanian opponent, in this Republican primary, close behind: A gun-toting, hay-baling former hedge fund manager and mega millionaire named David McCormick who is parking in Pa via Connecticut...he also has no experience in public office. He's "gonna fight the woke mob". Kelly Ann Conway is working on his campaign.

God help us all and may the Democratic Party candidates for governor and the U.S. Senate prevail in November.

So how are Republicans out of touch with truth and reality these days, exactly? And what do the Democrats have going on that's so wonderful? Is it the daily shootings and stabbings that keep happening here in 100% Democrat-controlled Pittsburgh? Or was it the 100 people who were killed in Democrat-controlled Philadelphia in the first two and a half months of this year?

So how do the supporters of the good Doc feel about the fact he married into and has part ownership in the Asplundh Company, one of the largest employers of illegal aliens in the Philly area.

"America First” candidate Mehmet Oz maintains duel citizenship with Turkey, served in the Turkish Army, owns real estate in Turkey, has an endorsement deal with Turkish Airlines, and voted in Turkey’s 2018 presidential election. The decision to vote in a foreign country’s election is problematic from a security clearance perspective and makes me wonder where Oz’s allegiance lies. Hint: It's not with Pennsylvania and clearly it's not with the U.S, which is most definitely why he and Trump get along, IMO.

What have you been smoking? Democrats have always accused the GOP of lying, killing and trying to take Granny's Social Security checks, hate the poor, racists, war mongers and the list is long. You are either smoking some Snoop Dog heavy stuff or arrived on a boat recently or just plain lying like Democrats always do.

These are the same people that voted for Hillary and Joe Biden/Kamala back to back that supports abortions on demand of killing millions of babies up to birth and want to inject a drug on millions of Americans by force, pushed the Russian hoax, pushing for WW 3, calling themselves "educated", "reasonable" and for the "truth". They always take their comedy too far. That train is never late.

I wonder if there is any evidence that he has ever voted or paid taxes in PA?

That falls under the Privacy act for a reason. If PA Tax Revenue or the I.R.S haVE a problem with his taxes or not paying his share, he would have received a big bill by now with big interests and if he doesn't pay the bill they would garnish his properties and bank accounts (that's how our government works).


No need for you to wonder about myths. Didn't we learn from the lie in 2012 with Romney? I guess that train is never late in an election year.

The comment wasn't about whether Dr. Oz paid his share in taxes as much as where he actually lives.

You're trying to answer the wrong question. The Privacy Act has nothing to do with it. The issue is why wouldn't Dr. Oz make public any taxes he is paying in Pennsylvania if he is running to represent this state in Congress.

Oz was anti-Covid before he was in favor of spreading it. Right now he`s leading the 6 pack of GOP candidates with a whopping 18% of the repubs supporting him. Pa. will fill Toomey`s seat with a Democrat.
