Here in Pennsylvania, we have a rich history of moderate Republicanism.  Senators like John Heinz and Arlen Specter were elected over and over again because of – not in spite of – their skill and commitment to compromise.  In a state that has voted for the Democratic Presidential nominee six straight times, it’s no wonder that many of today’s Republican officeholders, especially in the increasingly progressive suburbs of our big cities, claim to be a part of this moderate heritage. That’s why it is so disappointing that every single one of Pennsylvania’s Republican Congressmen voted for such an arch-conservative proposal as the Ryan Budget.
