The Cardboard Candidate

Yet again we are faced with the problem of a Democrat trying to raise taxes. We should be used to it by now, especially when it is a Democratic Governor from the opposite side of the Commonwealth who knows little about Erie’s wants and Erie’s needs. Yet we have a Democratic State Representative right in our midst. So as a concerned conservative Millcreek resident, I ponder to myself, how will Mr. Hornaman vote? I am positive that if he wishes to get re-elected in this Republican leaning district he will vote against this tax which would destroy business Erie receives from Canada, Ohio, and New York etc. Do not get me wrong, deep down I wish Hornaman would show his true colors and a love for his new adoptive Party by siding with the out of touch and greatly ambitious Governor who is only trying to keep up with the strides of the Republican celebrity Governor of California. Then we would have yet another excuse to thank Mr. Hornaman for his services, and then politely ask him to exit stage left in the next election. But sadly I feel that we will not see his true feelings when it comes time to discuss this tax increase, and will see instead the cardboard candidate. However I will be watching very closely whether he votes just for a lower increase, or if he votes to keep state sales as is and temper the Governors plans for Democratic idiocy and Philadelphia superiority. Does Hornaman work for Philadelphia or for Erie will be one of the many questions on my mind? I will be watching very closely from the sidelines of a Party that believes that the people of the United States know where to best put their money; a Party that I have not abandoned, and an ideal I have not surrendered.
