Onorato Slams Corbett's Unemployment Comments

[True_Blue]

'There were strong words Tuesday from Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dan Onorato against his Republican opponent Tom Corbett.

Dan Onorato says Tom Corbett erred on public radio when he said the jobs were there for those on unemployment insurance.

"The jobs are there, but if we keep extending unemployment people are just going to sit there," Corbett said on WITF.

"He doesn't see the crisis that we're in right now," Onorato said. "He doesn't see the urgency that we're in right now and doesn't understand that hard working men and women – they want jobs."

3. Corbett is total scum

4. Corbett IS total scum, but stands a good chance of winning - he is seen as

pro-second amendment, whereas Onorato is portrayed as anti-gun by the Corbett backing RW republicans.

Onorato should start being more agressive and vocal and not falling into the Democratic pattern of laid-back campaigning....I live in PA and don't really canr for either candidate, but I WILL vote for the Democrat over any republican, especially a fucking crook like Corbett.

I don't want to wind up like New Jersey...

5. USS tore down the Homestead Works

and built a shopping center and a water park. A net loss in jobs. That's in Corbett's (and Onorato's) back yard.
