Don't vote for Roebuck

By Opinion Board · Nov. 6, 2006

It's not often campaigns revolve around a single issue. But for Joe Roebuck, that should be the case. In the early morning hours of July 7, 2005, state legislators in Harrisburg slyly (or so they thought) passed an enormous pay raise for themselves. The bill increased the base-pay salaries 16 percent, from $69,647 to $81,050.

Message from College Republicans

By College Republicans · Nov. 6, 2006

Democrats want you to vote this Tuesday entirely based on your opinion of President Bush. Mailing after mailing, TV ad after TV ad and speech after speech the Democrats have attempted to make every Republican candidate look like Bush's ally and therefore, according to them, an enemy of the people.

Apology owed To the Editor: I just wanted to congratulate President Gutmann on an interesting choice for a holiday picture pose ("Controversary erupts over student in terror garb," DP, 11/3/06). The body language certainly is telling; naivete meets duplicity (I'll let you determine which is which).

Should the state borrow $20 million to give to '91 Gulf War veterans?

By Evan Goldin · Nov. 6, 2006

This proposition is simply not the best way to accomplish the goal of rewarding servicemen and -women. A proposition much like this one went to - and was not approved by - voters shortly after the first Gulf War more than 15 years ago. There seems to be little reason veterans of this particular war are much more deserving than they were 15 years ago.

Stephen Morse | Phila. cleans up its polling places

By Stephen Morse · Nov. 6, 2006

Imagine being able to vote in major American elections without stepping foot outside your front door, without the aid of the Internet or some type of telepathy. Just put on a bathrobe and walk into the voting booth during the commercials of The Jerry Springer Show: That's all it takes.

Chaka Fattah for Congress

By Opinion Board · Nov. 6, 2006

A Republican really never had a shot at Pennsylvania's 2nd district. The district, one of two representing Philadelphia in Congress, is heavily Democratic. In 2004, Fattah won re-election with 88 percent of the vote - the second-highest margin in the state and the highest for a Democrat.
