Who is the Philadelphia moron gay councilman who wants the Boy Scouts kicked out of that city? Is this clown retarded? That city is so crime ridden it's sickening. Don't that city hall hee haw gang know that it's a mini-Beirut there and that organization can only do good things for that city. Run that dipstick out of town on a rail. May wanna hitch the mayor to that train to. Disgracful. The nation is watching this circus act.

Billy C., coherence isn't really your bag is it?
To Anonymous number 2, if local 98 is involved chances are high that its a sham. The irony in all this is Jack Kelly is a Republican associated with Johnny Doc & crew. The same funky bunch that smeared and harrassed Sam Katz, a Republican, so they could reelect John Street.

Patricio, there is no doubt that the input of 98 changed the outcome of the election but to what extent? It seems their absentee campaign was organized for no other reason than to maintain the status-quo; what consequences of the Kelly/98 partnership are we the residents of this city going to pay?
"Kelly may have an advantage with the absentee ballots. Both John Dougherty's International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 98 and State Rep. John Perzel, (R., Phila.) had sent out absentee ballots to presumed Kelly supporters as part of a drive for Kelly.

The benefit of gain out-weighs the political party. It benefited Doc to support Street against Katz and now with Street leaving, who can effect the city the most since it seems Nutter is isolated as a "good government" type ? Will Kelly owe a vote to Dougherty's ally Blackwell for Council President? Speculation, mabe, only time will tell.

The fix is in...Doc and his NE Philly republican cronies (no names need to be mentioned, it's pretty obvious) stole ths election from OH. I hope Oh takes this one to the courts, he is sure to win there!!
Kelly has done nothing for philadelphia in the 4 years he served. He is a RHINO, and in the pocket of Doc and Street. He is worse than the scum between my toes.
The AG needs to look into this one...something smells funny, and it's not my feet.
