This guy is a frustrated lawyer, turned politician who is trying to be funny so that he can feel that he "fits in". The problem is that he has alienated his constituants, his party and his supporters.<BR/><BR/>What do you think he wanted to spend his unvouchered expenses on?

Show me where I can find a list of bills he has been the primary sponsor of, how he has voted, and what he has brought about and I will make a thorough review. We need a more transparent government.AboveAvgJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041855236200085575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9238806.post-1135100329819704762005-12-20T12:38:00.000-05:002005-12-20T12:38:00.000-05:00Absolutely... poor taste, ill advised and more. B...Absolutely... poor taste, ill advised and more. But his policy prowess is simply top-notch. The guy is in the minority party and manages time and again to get changes enacted while the rest of the Dem leadership sits on their duff hoping the governor will take charge. And it's not just booksmarts. The guy gets policy in a way that maybe a 1/2 dozen other folks in Harrisburg do. But yeah, dumb stuff.<BR/><BR/>I guess if anything, he has a fall back career working for The Daily Show. I've always taken his commentary and musings in the same light: sometimes I think there is a need to step back and look at government through irreverance.<BR/><BR/>Everybody has his/her downfall and Daylin's is that he is too open and brash in his hobby of satire.LVDemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359661408192860813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9238806.post-1135095880960620702005-12-20T11:24:00.000-05:002005-12-20T11:24:00.000-05:00I do not question that he is booksmart but the gen...I do not question that he is booksmart but the general word "intelligence" is certainly open to question. Who in their right mind would, in a post 9/11 world, say this:<BR/><BR/>"Sure, I may have experimented with some things that were illegal as a youth. Treason for example. But now I'm walking the straight and narrow." (leachvent March 05, 2005)<BR/><BR/>This really doesn't strike me as all that bright. It doesn't strike me as a biting sense of humor or keen intelligence. It strikes me as "sit on the stove" stupid.<BR/><BR/>Nor was he going into this blind, as he says in his March 8 posting:<BR/><BR/>"It's been a while. After I was elected to the legislature, I was encouraged to put the Vent on hold for a while, if death threats can be considered encouragement. Some worried I might say something that would speed up the inevitable impeachment process. Others worried I would say something that might slow it down."<BR/><BR/>If the people in his district want to re-elect him that is their business. I will say again, if he were my state rep I would be sorely disappointed and curtail any activity that would bring me into contact with him.AboveAvgJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041855236200085575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9238806.post-1135087454187168772005-12-20T09:04:00.000-05:002005-12-20T09:04:00.000-05:00Daylin Leach is amongst the most intelligent repre...Daylin Leach is amongst the most intelligent representatives in Harrisburg and is without a doubt one of the most progressive. He is also the biggest trouble maker, never afraid to throw a haymaker or produce inflamatory language. His Dutch Larroo work was certainly ill-advised, but if Daylin loses in 2006 (which I don't think will happen), a great mind falls out of the house. The combination of his biting sense of humor and his keen intelligence got him into trouble.<BR/><BR/>If you need a sample of his work, look at areas surrounding environmental protection, criminal justice reform and other areas of legal reform. He's produced winning policy and framed it in a way that the GOP leadership has to like it.LVDemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359661408192860813noreply@blogger.com
