BREAKING NEWS: GOP JR WHIP BILL SHUSTER IS RAISING FUNDS AND ACTIVELY SUPPORTING LOBBYIST ALTMIRE IN SOMERSET COUNTY!! WHY? Will LOBBYIST ALTMIRE (OUT OF CONVICTION OF COURSE) BE CAUCUSING WITH THE GOP IN 2013?

Congressman Bill Shuster
Our citizen journalist have been on the hunt of this fascinating story all day.  It is a well known fact in Somerset, that out-going GOP Commissioner Jimmy Marker was ordered to give Lobbyist Altmire the welcoming reception in Somerset County and toured him around the business community.  This past  week, we were alerted that GOP JR Whip Shuster spear-headed (behind the scenes of course) a breakfast fund-raiser for Lobbyist Altmire.  This story has been confirmed by two high ranking local Republicans.   So here is our  question readers:  Why is a  GOP JR whip  fund-raising for Lobbyist Altmire in a hotly contested Democratic primary?  What is in it for JR Whip Shuster?  We find this story to be telling.  We are convinced, now more than ever, that there is a party  change planned for Lobbyist Altmire.  The Altmire candidacy for the Democratic primary is one of the worst cases of political bait and switch that we have ever seen.

DID THE PAGOP JUST ENDORSE LOBBYIST ALTMIRE???





Our sources in the Critz campaign,  alerted us to an attack ad run in today's Johnstown Tribune Democrat, which attacks Casey and Critz.  The ad was paid for by the Cambria County GOP. Cambria is home to Chairman Rob Gleason and we've been told his operatives have a stranglehold on the Party. What is unusual about this attack ad is its timing. The piece attacking Critz runs a day before the Cambria Democratic endorsement meeting;  the day Altmire visits the  Eastern region of  the new PA 12th.  We immediately contacted our source in the Altmire campaign. The disgruntled staffer explained it this way;  Altmire personally sent out an SOS to the PAGOP for help for help in Cambria. The cynical reality is that if Altmire were to prevail in April and November he might be caucusing with Boehner.  His boss, Altmire, wants to keep his options open and the PAGOP wants to keep their options open. The disgruntled staffer remains disillusioned and believes the campaign maybe poisoning themselves with voters in the Democratic voter-rich Cambria and Somerset.
