John Fetterman is the man half of Pennsylvania wants to be elected to the Senate, which is a mystery. However, these are the same people who gave you Joe Biden. He just received Oprah’s endorsement, which tells you all you need to know about Oprah. She should be too embarrassed to try to stick this man on Pennsylvanians. People who aren’t that foolish work for the local newspaper.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the hometown newspaper of Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman, has endorsed Republican Senate candidate, Dr. Mehmet Oz.
“During Tuesday’s debate, after hundreds of thousands of votes had already been cast, voters finally learned something about where the candidates stood. They learned, among other things, that Mr. Oz opposes federal intervention in abortion rights, and Mr. Fetterman supports the broader Constitutional guarantees provided by the overturned Roe v. Wade decision…they learned Mr. Fetterman supports a federally mandated $15-an-hour minimum wage, and Mr. Oz wants market forces to raise wages. They learned both candidates support fracking. They also learned both men are politicians, as they ducked and dodged questions about why they had changed their minds on fracking,” the editorial board said.
“Neither candidate has experience as a U.S. senator. Given the lack of substance during the campaign, many voters will have to make a leap of faith on Nov. 8.
“We believe Mr. Oz is the better bet for Pennsylvania,” it said.
The paper believes Dr. Oz will be a “unifier:”
…We’re encouraged that Mr. Oz is portraying himself as a unifier who will work with Democrats to get things done for Pennsylvania. It remains to be seen whether he can pull that off, but he has the potential to become an influential, thoughtful and independent senator. Mr. Oz is likable, engaging, extremely smart, and a good listener…
The board like Fetterman a lot less.
Mr. Fetterman’s health — he suffered a serious stroke in May — is not the issue. His lack of transparency, however, in refusing to release his medical records is troubling. It suggests an impulse to conceal and a mistrust of the people. All candidates for a major elected office should release their medical records, as did Mr. Oz. If you want privacy, don’t run for public office.
No experience and troubling past actions:
Mr. Fetterman’s life experience and maturity are also concerns. He has lived off his family’s money for much of his life. That has allowed him to do some good things, including mentoring disadvantaged young people and working to improve community policing and economic development in Braddock. That work, along with his six-foot-eight frame, shaved head, and tattoos, attracted national media attention. Still, Mr. Fetterman, despite his hoodies and shorts, has little experience in holding real jobs or facing the problems of working people.
In 2013, as the mayor of Braddock, Mr. Fetterman, after hearing gunshots, pulled a shotgun on an unarmed Black jogger. It was, we believe, an honest mistake. Still, it’s troubling that Mr. Fetterman never apologized for it. And during Tuesday’s debate, confronted with his 2018 statement that he didn’t support fracking, Mr. Fetterman still said, with a straight face, that he always supported fracking.
Fetterman makes no sense. The paper left that out.

This next clip isn’t a joke. It’s an actual ad. You should vote for him because he’s incoherent? At least the kid’s cute. Maybe Pennsylvania Dems should put the kid on the ballot.
John Fetterman’s latest ad is as incoherent as he is. What were they thinking?

John Fetterman is a seriously compromised individual. He has been negatively affected by a Stoke; that is fact. What is more dangerous is the DemoBots who would vote for Fetterman, because they suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. What make Liberals want to to destroy their country and their lives because they don’t like Political Policies that make America Strong? How is it that they don’t want a Strong America which can ensure a better life for them and their Children? The biggest danger to America is DemoBots and Democrat Political Machines who will do ANYTHING to win and retain Power.
DemoBots are the people that Klaus Schwab talks about. DemoBots have nothing and have been brainwashed into believing they are happy living a near 3rd World existence. This is what 60 years of low expectation does to a Country! I grew up watching men go to the moon. Today’s DemoBots could care less about going back and then going to Mars. Imagine if Christoper Columbus was a DemoBot!
DemoBots and Liberals are mentally ill and a danger to Civilized Society. They can’t function in a High Technology World, they are enslaved by Technology. Without America’s Producers they would starve. They already live in Big Blue Cities that resemble 3rd World Africa! I saw cleaner cities in the Central African Republic, Sudan, and Ethiopia than I’ve seen in parts of LA, San Fransisco, Chicago, and Philadelphia in the last year or so. DemoBots are some kind of new subhuman species with IQs so low that they can only relate to a Senile Old Man as President and a seriously compromised stoke victim running for Senator. DemoBots should scare everyone!
The problem is more than the candidate, John. It is the voters who are enticed to vote for him.
While living in the USA until 1995 I was very involved in grass roots politics in Kane County, a collar county to Chicago and Cook County.
An American Citizen and voter, I now reside and work in Australia. I still make a great effort to know the issues in my home town, and the candidates. Obviously good candidates need to use social media to make themselves known and in Oakland County Michigan there are some good media who interview the candidates in a fair and impartial way.
In Australia a member of our church, and later a good friend of one of my sons, each asked for my expertise in planning a campaign. My response! Focus first on the voters. Get to know them and educate them about the key issues. The first carefully listened, and she nearly toppled a Labor Party giant in a Labor strong hold. He lived near me and after learning I had advised her he came to visit me. He said that there is no way that she should have gotten so many votes and that her campaign was the best and fairest he had ever faced. The other did not listen and lost badly to the scion of a well-known family. Sadly he was many time more qualified than the winner.
NO matter the outcome on the 8th, if Republican want to be a winning party they have to build a grass roots network in every community no matter what the typical voting is in the area. It takes constant contact, year-round, with the voters to make sure they really know the issues, so when the party’s candidate is presented, that candidate is clearly the person for the job.
If each Republican voter worked year-round to help, the arty woul be almost unbeatable. But… how many… CARE ENOGUH TO DO THE WORK?
Less crying at defeat and more work can change things.
