A quick note for you PA Republicans!
Lately, you've probably noticed a lot of Facebook & Twitter updates from me regarding petitions and the Lt. Governor's race. In case you don't know what it's all about, here's a summary of my thoughts for you...
Jim Cawley, Bucks County Commissioner, is the endorsed Republican candidate for Lt. Governor. In the past, he has dubbed himself a "Progressive Republican." When asked about what that meant at a caucus breakfast at the recent PA GOP Convention, he said he was misquoted, and that what he meant was that he views himself as a progressive in the mold of Teddy Roosevelt.
I think he thought that was a good thing. Or something. The truth?
Glenn Beck on Teddy Roosevelt: "He wasn't a conservative. The first thing he did as president was to fire off 40 lawsuits to try to trust bust and federally control large corporations. He said, he said that he, quote, had the greatest contempt for the rich. He also said, we grudge no man a fortune in civil life if it is honorably obtained and well used. It is not even enough that it should have been gained without doing damage to the community. We should permit a fortune to be gained only so long as the gaining represents benefits to the community."
See Beck's book, Arguing with Idiots, pages 214-220 for more on Cawley's Progressive Republican hero.
We need a conservative as Lt. Governor. Our alternatives?
Chet Beiler - Lancaster County, Businessman - www.chetbeiler.com
Steve Johnson - York County, Businessman - www.stevejohnson2010.com
Russ Diamond - Lebanon County, Musician - www.russdiamond.org
Naturally, I'd like for you to pick Chet... and tell ALL your PA Republican friends to do the same. I've been circulating petitions to get his name on the primary ballot because I believe this race is crucial to the future of Pennsylvania... and that's what all the hubbub's about.
CHET BEILER FOR LT. GOVERNOR
But really, we need a conservative, so anyone but Cawley will do. Read more on Jim Cawley at http://www.jrjim.blogspot.com.

Here is another article from another reporter about Jim Cawley's remarks about being a "progressive". I called and talked to this reporter's (Charles Meredith) wife and confirmed the story was genuine. http://charlesmeredith.com/MC05archives/MC%2002-16-05%20Jim%20Cawley.htm
