Never mind the fact that his name was on the FRONT PAGE OF THE DAMNED BILL as a sponsor. Or that every paper across the state told the whole story of the caucus meetings where leadership not only crafted the bill with Judge Crappy but tallied votes and gave free passes to certain legislators to vote no. ("compassionate conservatism" as opposed to the dems who demoted their no votes?)
I guess the pay raise bill itself never happened and is just a "Folmer campaign charge."


Also, the day after anti pay raise rally at the Capitol, it was Brightbill who enlarged a photo of the crowd at the rally from front page of the Patriot News. He then spent his day drawing grid lines on the photograph and counting every head to prove that only a few hundred people attended. He then stated that there was no real furor about the pay raise, that it was all hype from people like Russ Diamond and Bob Durgin.

I love how the Lancaster papers are such shills for these creeps. Or else they are just too lazy to research, or just plain dumb. Maybe all three.


They hate conservatives and they love RINOs like Brightbill. It's the RINOs who are liberal with taxpayer dollars for convention centers and other pork-barrel spending.

I realize some people are fed up with Chip, and want to get him out of office, but electing Folmer is not the way to do it. Please do not try and punish Brightbill by electing Folmer, [size="3"]


Correction... it's not some people fed up with Chip, it's most people! And since you don't approve of Folmer we just need to suck it up and keep Chip in office? No thanks, I'll take my chances with someone new.

Geez, two scumbags running for the same office in the republican primary.How often does that happen?
Oh yeah,nevernind.


Just as often as there are two scumbag Democrats running for the same office in more liberal parts of the country (New Orleans).

Folmer is a very dishonest and deceiving person, he will say and do whatever he needs to, to get what, and where he wants. When I heard he was running for office, and for my party, I felt the need to come forward, and tell the public what I know about him from personal experience. Please do not try and punish Brightbill by electing Folmer, the repercussions will be very disastrous. He will give the Democratic Party the edge they need, because he is a very dangerous man to have in office, I promise you it will be a disaster that all who vote for him will regret for the rest of their lives.
Oh Nooooooo! I voted for Folmer!! Doing anything to get what and where he wants?? So that's how he got that millionaire tire sales job! I am so upset! Now we may end up with a payjacking, pension grabbing, tax raising, perk-fat adulterer who will dump his wife for his intern and...oops. Never mind.
