No tree-hugging, civil rights marchin’, elite thoughts or feminism sympathy for THESE guys.

They are about as scrufty, Bud-swilling, pickup truck, anti-reparations, bah ha types whose Democratic allegiance seems to stem solely from the fact their parents were FDR new dealers.

Yes, the Courier should have mentioned how Sam and the boys were funneling money through the Democratic club….

That is asking too much. One of the current CT columnists had a very close relationship, ah hem…, with the BTwp Mayor several years back. She has since backed off, but feelings last a long time, dontcha know.

Ironically, if you recall, the previous Mayor (an insurance salesman) did two years in the slammer for doing almost the exact same thing…. “asking” for contributions from constituents which ended up in Dem party hands.

Township political races usually center around a cult of personality rather than whether candidate A is for a strong military, or anti-abortion, or has Judeo-Christian values, or is for increased oil exploration, etc. — and candidate B is not.

In my experience, those issues don’t begin to really come into play until perhaps the state Senate level, or even the US Representative level.

That said, the phrase ‘Bristol Township Democrat’ is absolutely redundant. The registration is about 4-1 Dem over Rep, if I’m not mistaken. When a Republican DOES win, it’s because he or she is well-spoken with an affable, outgoing personality … and the Democrat is a geek.

Yes, the better run municipalities almost always have more Republican electives…. and the worst are the ones have liberal Democrats.

Ironically, many of the lower Bucks Democrats are extremely non-liberal, gun toting, anti-minority, not enlightened at all.

Tullytown comes to mind. As does Bristol Borough.

My former in-laws were rabid Democrats, yet you couldn’t sit in their home five minutes without hearing the n-word, or complaints about foreigners, or whatever.
