Former Republican Andrew Warren's scorched earth campaign for the Democratic nomination in PA-08 (remember this is the guy who used
a convicted felon to try and kick the
Democratically endorsed candidate off the ballot) hit a brick wall yesterday, as PoliticsPA caught the former Republican lying on the front page of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
More on the flip...

Bucks Candidate Double Talk?
Some local southeast Democrats are a bit puzzled by recent remarks made by democratic congressional candidate Andy Warren. A quote from today's Philadelphia Inquirer states, "Warren said he voted for Democrat Al Gore in the 2000 presidential election and voted for Bill Clinton twice. In the last presidential election he went for Kerry."
This is in contrast to another article that appeared in the Allentown Morning Call in January of 1993. This portion appeared in that article: Bucks County Commissioner Chairman Andrew Warren, a Republican, attended the rally... 'This may come as no surprise to you, I supported George Bush..." This was made in reference to his support of George H.W. Bush in the 1992.
This isn't a contest about who voted for who and when. Frankly those are personal decisions that people make in the voting booth. But if you are going to make it an issue in your campaign to prove your Democratic bona fides, you damn well better be truthful about it. Andy Warren just demonstrated that he is a guy who is willing to say anything to try and get elected - including lying point blank to a reporter. Kind of makes you question everything else he says, don't ya think?
