Pennsylvania Democrats Fail to Remove Pennsylvania Forward Party’s Only Legislative Candidate

On August 26, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ruled that Chris Gambino should remain on the ballot as the Forward Party’s nominee for State Representative, 143rd district. See this story. Democrats had challenged his ballot position on the grounds that his ballot label, “Forward Independent”, is illegal. The Democratic challengers said that Gambino could not use that label because other candidates in other districts were on the ballot as “independent”, and therefore “independent” was reserved for those candidates.

The challengers have appealed to the State Supreme Court. See this story. Apparently the appeal is on whether Gambino had enough valid signatures.

This is believed to be the first instance at which Democrats have challenged the ballot access of any Forward Party nominee, anywhere in the nation. One wonders why Democrats feel that a Forward Party nominee on the ballot necessarily hurts the Democratic nominee.

Pennsylvania Democrats Fail to Remove Pennsylvania Forward Party’s Only Legislative Candidate — 8 Comments

  1. On this 25th anniversary of 9/12 we must unite as Americans to expel the brown skinned crap colored invaders from our White Christian country, restore White Christian leadership, make it official that we are a White Christian led nation by original intent and in perpetuity, and ban Islam as a foreign terrorist organization.

  2. The U.S. Constitution, First and Fourteenth Amendments, blocks those ideas.

    Also there are more brown and black Christians in the world than there are white Christians in the world.

  3. The 14th amendment was improperly adopted and should be considered and ruled to be null and void.

    A literal, historical reading of the First Amendment doesn’t ban them either. It bans Congress from designating a particular Christian denomination as the official church of America, like the Anglican Church in England, the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches that are the official denominations of various countries, etc.

    At the time, most uS States had official denominations of their own, and the First Amendment intended to keep Congress from choosing one as the federal religion and thus sparking a sectarian war such as those that had taken place in Europe over the preceding several centuries.

    It was nearly unanimously understood at the time that the country was Christian. Opinions to the contrary were outliers, and I can provide quotes and cites if you want to go there.

    Banning Islam, a murder cult, and acknowledging that we were always intended to be and ought remain a Christian led country, isn’t nearly the same as creating a Church of the United States.

    Christian salvation is open to people of all races, but that also shouldn’t keep us from acknowledging the unique European cultural basis for the ideas which made the formation of this country possible, which has nothing at all to do with the First Amendment.

  4. We have always been at war with the global Islamic satanic heresy, Mohammed was a pedophile, and allah is a moon rock, not God.

    Remember the Charles Martel, the Gates of Vienna, the shores of Tripoli, and 9/11/01.

    Talking about a revolution, talking about White Power solutions!

  5. Stanley has a point here. The 14th Amendment was never legally ratified. You can look it up in several books on American history and the US Constitution.

  6. In order to “fight” communism and socialism, Trump wants to redistribute wealth by sending every American an equal share of tax revenues. To this, we communists can only say, Go Trump!

    Don’t forget, the “stimulus” checks started under Trump 1.0. We certainly won’t forget it.

    Trump gets full credit for ignoring the crackpot ideas of neoliberal crapitalist so called economists when it comes to stimulus checks and their alleged – actually nonexistent – relation to inflation, just as he does when it comes to protecting American labor with tariffs.
