When you've lived in a real city, come back to me. I spent many years of my life in Dallas, TX... and before you try to spout your mouth of about pot calling the kettle black, Dallas is more of a city then any of you country folk around here will ever see. 7 million people in that area...and how many here? That's right it's a city of 50,000 that keeps losing population every year.

So you can't stand the stink of Obama and his great plans to turn this crappy country around?


Wow. Two posts to slam and bash Lancaster County people -- from a SO-MUCH-BETTER-THAN-US TRANSPLANT.

As for the race card? Nominate a black man with real credentials, not a newbie, self-promoting empty suit who has been anointed and promoted by the Chicago political hack machine. This isn't about race. It is about being able to be the President of the United States.

And I will bet that Dallas -- and the rest of Texas -- agrees with me.

So you left the big city to move to a hick town, good for you. That's correct, I can't stand the smell that comes out of Obama's mouth, that's my opinion and you are entitled to yours. You can vote for who ever you like, I'm not trying to tell you who to vote for. Just don't expect me to vote for a party that promised the moon two years ago and has delivered nothing except a bunch of talk.

let me teach you a little basic math. 8 years minus 2 years leaves you with 6 years. What did your party do with those remaining 6 years? See dick run. See george lie. Jane, who cares? What is your party promising now? That's the problem. Nothing! They can't tell us or neither can you what their ideas are. Because they have none! It's all fear, fear, fear. No substance

Now, Son, you know that Dallas is no real city! Just a couple tall buildings, a dead Dem good-for-nuthin womanizin' cheat, and one pretty darned big suburb that floats from Fort Worth to San Antone to Houston, with a splash of Austin to add some color and dee-lightful music to boot!

You want a real city, then I'll tell you what - go on up to the Bronx. Or Manhattan. Or Brooklyn. Or Boston. Skip Philly - just a NYC wanna-be anyways, and Rendell has made this state one of the saddest in the country. Baltimore is trying - but it is going the way of the Cleveland Flats.

This here Lancaster is just a way station, tryin' to be somethin' it just ain't. And those danged city folk in Lancaster just wanna take all the tax dollars that you and I work so hard for and make themselves a con-ven-tion center with a train that runs right on down to the Amtrak Station, all at our expense! And they all wonder why we surburb types would rather go to King of Prussia to spend our money, when - lookie here - all that is right there in Lancaster for the buyin'!

When Mayor Gray stood in front of the Manheim Township Zoning Board and told them that he was going to do everything in his power to convince the Fed, State, and Local authorities to stop the retail center across from Longs Park, he convinced us all what an !profanity! he is. Dude Gray - you wanna keep the wall up between the needy city folk and the have-a-lot-more burbs? My pleasure....
