McCullough just wouldn't go along with their private politics and look what happened to him. Is Acklin standing by his fellow Republican or is he sneaking through the old lady's check book with the reporter, Roddy? <br /><br />Acklin is a chump. Would someone with a set of non-negotiable principals please sand up?!StandingBullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057060952969743706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-14353639170028985002009-04-24T08:49:00.000-04:002009-04-24T08:49:00.000-04:00I have watched Acklin for a long time and he is th...I have watched Acklin for a long time and he is the best-educated, most intellectual and hard-working candidate for the mayorship of Pittsburgh ever!<br /><br />Matt H's comments seem hypocritical, ignorant and politically motivated.

A big reason being his support of the County Non-Discrimination Ordinance which his party opposed. He's also a treehugging card carrying member of the Sierra Club, believe it or not. I know I know, hard to believe that there are green Republicans out there, which is probably why he didn't lose much sleep over leaving his party. Oh, and he said he voted for Obama, and when asked how to describe his ideology the first word out of his mouth was "moderate."Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081403187993259643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-51841345118555356312009-03-11T15:32:00.000-04:002009-03-11T15:32:00.000-04:00http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributio...http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/kevin-acklin.asp?cycle=08<BR/><BR/>thanks for posting, especially ^^.<BR/><BR/>i find it so disingenous when quote progressive endquote R's in this town act like their party affiliation is meaningless.Crystal Eastmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028204065653228345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-30166766752999262992009-03-11T13:35:00.000-04:002009-03-11T13:35:00.000-04:00Acklin is an asset to Pittsburgh.Acklin is an asset to Pittsburgh.Perry Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074186663457463443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-88201548899565125302009-03-11T12:34:00.000-04:002009-03-11T12:34:00.000-04:00Same guy that donated to Bush & Santorum.Same guy that donated to Bush & Santorum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-2827999687789168662009-03-11T08:20:00.000-04:002009-03-11T08:20:00.000-04:00Acklin is a smart, hard-working guy.
