PA GOP Party establishment turning their backs on republican principles and secretly supporting Bob Casey Jr. |
Robert Vickers of the Patriot-News in today's article highlights how some members of the PA GOP party establishment are not that motivated to defeat Bob Casey Jr. this fall. Vickers's suggests that some of the party's "Kingmakers" are secretly supporting Bob Casey Jr. over the current slate of GOP primary candidates.
Two party establishment types quoted in the article are clearly outright supporting Casey's candidacy and had this to say about his re-election bid.
The party faithful here in Pennsylvania should be outraged after learning of this level of support for Casey by our party leaders. Senator Casey has been a key player in moving President Obama's agenda through the United States Senate. Casey voted for Obamacare. He voted for all the stimulus debacles. Casey voted to fund Planned Parenthood despite everyone's belief that he is a conservative democrat that is pro-life.
Are you kidding me folks? I just can't see how you can call yourself a republican and be secretly supporting Bob Casey with his voting record. It is just sad that the current candidates fighting for a chance to take on Casey in the November don't even have the support of their party's leadership.

“We all know Casey,” said one party boss, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “He doesn’t make a lot of enemies.”Now this is exactly what is wrong with the leaders of our state republican party. It would not surprise a bit to find ou that one of these idiots could be Bob Asher, a Republican National Committeeman from Pennsylvania. Asher is well known "kingmaker".
Another GOP power broker, who did not want to be identified because of his comfort with Casey, was more pragmatic. “It’s going to be very difficult to beat Bob Casey,” the high-ranking Republican said. “You can call him ‘Sen. Nothing’ and ‘Sen. Zero,’ but he hasn’t alienated anybody.”
