Boyd Lies About Campaign
Started his campaign a week before McDonald!
Editor's note: Be sure to check out our Boyd parody website @ MyRepublicanValues.com

October 26, 2007

Three and half weeks ago, State Rep. Scott Boyd decried Steve McDonald's campaign for Pennsylvania Senate saying that he was violating some unwritten rule in Lancaster politics by not waiting until the fall election was over. 5thEstate.com has discovered that Boyd had already started his campaign in full swing at the same time he was holding a press conference !

Boyd launched his new campaign website on September 24, 2007 - a full week before holding the press conference saying that McDonald should NOT be campaigning until the fall elections is over! It appears as though McDonald actually beat Boyd to the punch! Ironically, it was Senator Armstrong who pointed out the Lancaster New Era and the Republican Party was being played by Boyd! Armstrong told the New Era that Boyd was "trying to manipulate the Republican Party and the press for his own self-interest."!

Oppps - too late for that - it's already happened!

Months ago, Boyd's hired a consultant who produced an 11 minute video featuring Boyd crying about how nothing got done in Harrisburg in the last five years. Boyd's brand new website launched in late September, to go along with his video, is called RepublicanValuesSurvey.com which features questions with answer too obvious for even a freshman Political Science!

Look at the insulting questions - is there a doubt what the answer should be from conservative Lancaster County?

From Boyd's website:

Senate and House Republicans did the right thing by backing 10% increase in the personal income tax.

Senate and House Republican leaders did everything possible to prevent the legalization of 61,000 slot machines.

Senate and House Republican leaders are preventing unnecessary gridlock by supporting Governor Rendell's budget proposals that exceed the rate of inflation.

Senate and House Republican leaders are giving the necessary public and private backing for the

Pennsylvania Marriage Protection Action which prevents the current definition of marriage from being altered or expanded.

Senate and House Republican leaders are doing the right thing by expanding public welfare programs.

Senate and House Republican leaders have sufficiently reformed the legislature in the wake of the legislative pay increase of 2005.

Retired legislators deserve to receive pension payouts greater than their highest salary level as a working legislator.

In general, I am confident that the direction of Pennsylvania's Republican Party represents my values.

So what will the Lancaster New Era do now that they have been "played" by Boyd? What will Lancaster GOP chairman Dave Dumeyer when he finds that he was played as well? (We don't have to ask what Diane Moore would do since she's on his committee and she likely knew that Boyd was lying when he pretended to be upset that someone was campaigning before this election cycle!)

Boyd's repackaging himself in light of his record inspired 5thEstate.com to have fun! We decided to create the website that Boyd should have made called MyRepublicanValues.com which shows Boyd "reinventing" himself to run for Senate! Check it out and be sure to tell your friends!
