Al Schmidt can single-handedly put a stop to corruption and graft in City Hall. With Butkovitz, you'll just get more of the same.
please we all know Philly Democrats are zombies, they will continue voting for the same party as the city falls deeper into despair. The funny thing is the dopey D's will still blame GW for Philadelphia problems. Dumbest voting bloc in the nation.
I'm a registered Democrat and have every intention of voting for Schmidt. The Metro pointed out that only 12% of voters are expected to show up, which likely means it will be party faithful and anyone they can bus to a poll station. I suspect I'm an exception to the rule but hey, this Democrat (former Independent) is not a zombie.
Fear and more fear: that's all we ever hear from Democratic candidates in this city. Any and all change would be an immeasurable improvement over the decades of miserable Democratic failures. Look around, everyone. The mess you see has been presided over and, in large part, encouraged by Democrats.
"the brothas and sistas run this city, we're in charge here." Former joke of a major John street once said. So, it really doesn't matter if its a REP or a DEM.
Philly always votes blindly democrat....hence, the disasterous condition of the city.
I urge people to vote for Untermeyer for DA, not Seth Williams. Williams wants to increase plea deals in a bid to "decrease costs" and undermine effective prosecution. I think we can all agree, no matter what party, that Philly cops were killed because of this tactic. Going crime-lite in Philly is not the answer for safe neighborhoods, no matter where you live.
Comment removed.
Is Untermeyer even a Republican? He switched parties this year and two years ago ran as a Democrat for Sheriff against John Green. He doesn't care what office he gets elected to, so long as he gets elected. I think his party affiliation is moot, since clearly even he doesn't know which party he'd rather be a part of.
If you watched the debate on 6abc, you'll notice that Untermeyer pretty much has the same ideas as Williams. It seems that no matter who gets elected, we may be dealing with more of the same.
I'll take Seth Williams for DA but there is no way that I am voting for Al Buttkovitz. He is part of the problem.
Regardless of party affiliation, Untermeyer supports ending city funded bail, which would save the city a huge amount of money.
It's pretty sad when a lifetime hack pol like Buttkiss has to resort to linking his qualified opponet to GWB since he has nothing to tout about his accomplishments
kelprod1, I guess that's kind of like how the country generally votes Republican in the national election since we've had Republican Presidents for 28 of the last 40 years...hence the disastrous conditions of the country.
Lets face it, Democrats have driven this city into the ground. But the local voters seem to be ok with that. Yay for the status quo!
And Republicans have driven the entire country into the ground.
