Someone threatened Sam Katz, running as Republican candidate for mayor in Philadelphia, with a firebomb.
I guess this will come out as spiteful or mean-spirited, but so fucking what?
Republicans have done nothing but terrorize normal Americans for the past 2 years, starting a war, attacking social programs and services, and running the economy into a ditch. Philadelphians have suffered because of Republicans. And now they're surprised and angry that someone threw a firebomb into one of their offices?
Gimme a fucking break. It was probably planted by Katz's people anyway: what kind of idiot throws a firebomb and doesn't light the wick?
Sam Katz's sole plateform is "I'm not John Street." Maybe he thinks he can get some sympathy votes by pretending to bomb himself. What a fucking dork...
By the way this isn't to endorse violence against Sam Katz. There's too much violence in the world as it is.
Though apparently a couple of people (Street's people) have suggested that faking a firebombing was a dirty trick Karl Rove has played before.
Katz's main platform, as I see it, is "I'm not John Street." He's for lower wage taxes, but then so is Street (albeit reluctantly). It is true that Philly's wage tax is punitive, but I don't see how Katz, a Republican mayor facing a Democrat majority council, would be necessarily able to push his tax cut and faster than Street can pass his more moderate cuts.
Also this whole "I'm a republican, i'm a businessman, you can trust me with your money" is proving to be a crock of shit. I don't think that anyone can argue that Republican economic policy, together with its giveaways to big business, has done anything good to our economy. The fact is you cannot trust Republicans with money (you can't trust Republicans period).
