Dave Burris Can Kiss My Ass (or) Who Would Joanne Christian Really Be Working For?
Look, I like Dave. He’s a nice guy and all. But can we just stop holding him up as some champion of “open government.”
It is bullshit. Dave is in favor of Republicans winning. Period.
If it takes saying “open government” he is for it. If it takes saying, “The Democratic candidate eats babies.” he’d say it.
By way of example just check out Celia’s latest.
“Friends of Joanne Christian” is not the only organization in this race with good things to say about her and rotten things to say about Ennis.
At least three fliers have come from a political action committee calling itself “DCCC,” and the anti-Ennis tone of the pieces makes clear that it is not the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee absent-mindedly straying into local politics where it does not belong.
It is the “Delaware Coordinated Campaign Committee,” its start-up paperwork filed last month with the state elections commissioner by David M. Burris, who recently resigned as the Sussex County Republican chair and functions as a campaign adviser to Christian.
Under state law, PACs do not have to file financial reports in advance of special elections the way candidates do. It means that the names of people contributing to the DCCC, how much they are contributing and how much the DCCC is spending do not have to be made public until the next regularly-scheduled reporting date at the end of the year.
Whatever is happening with the DCCC is staying with the DCCC.
There’s you big “open government” hero. And lord knows I hate Celia Cohen but she is right when she says, “The campaign finance law is supposed to open a window on campaign financing, not pull a curtain. “
Come clean Dave. Who is Joanne Christian going to be working for if she gets to Dover?
I think I’ll keep the comments on.
Jason, don’t give Celia all the credit. I posted this on your blog first on Oct. 31st thread under “Ennis out raises 2 to 1”. Check it out and give me some love. Although Dave just brushed it off and declined to answer. Makes me laugh my ass off that he champions open govt., and trashes Ennis. What a hypocrite!!
I’m sure he has VERY good reasons for not telling who is pumping money into JC’s campaign (if you know what I mean).
Also – Thanks for the correction. I should have tracked back to that comment.
I guess Celia reads the blog.
I don’t expect Dave to respond. For some reason, I’m sure he believes this “is all beneath” him or some other conspiracy to bring down a candidate who has no chance in hell of winning.
The bigger question is: Does Joanne Christian even realize or comprehend the dynamics behind Dave’s move with this DCCC group? Or is this whole campaign really just his baby?
If JC does realize the dynamics behind DB’s machinations, then shame on her. If she doesn’t realize, then shame on her as well. I can’t believe that a person who purportedly is so wonderful could possibly be in the dark about this.
How many candidates for this Senate seat have been screwed by the GOP handlers?
1) Allsopp
2) Feroce
3) Christian?
With friends like the State GOP, who needs enemies?
Hey look over there!!
A union thug just stole a Joanne Christian sign and took a wiz on it.
Do we really need to ask? It’s the usual suspects of developers and insurance companies, plus a few big corps who have pending legislation on the table, and a gaggle of Chamber of Commerce types. What’s the mystery?
Can’t wait to hear how Dave spins this one. What a dickhead.
Can you link back to what poster #2 is saying to see if we caught Dave lying? Just curious
Let’s take it another step further.
Christian had only a few thousand dollars left in the campaign chest according to the most recent reporting.
Knowing Dave and his penchant for transparent drama, I’m guessing a media blitz, starting today, using the PAC money that didn’t have to be reported. Also, lots of paid ‘volunteers’ at the polls Saturday.
If this was a Statewide or national race, I’d be a slick move. I get the feeling though that Dave’s career as a campaign consultant is going to closely follow Mike Harkins’.
Poster #2 mentioned this PAC thing a while ago. As far as I know, he/she was the first to discover it. Dave replied that he didn’t have to answer any questions to this ‘discovery’ post.
here it is:

“I don’t answer questions posed by anons.” – D Burris
I should have know that meant something.
Hey liberalgeek,
Sorry about bumping your post up until later tonight.
Yeah, I knew about it last week, but Dave side stepped the question and you guys didn’t take me seriously. I thought I was asking a legitimate question? But Dave was above answering my questions. The best part of it is that he also checked the unaffiliated box on the application for this PAC. I know alot more about Dave from the days when we worked in the restaurant business in Rehoboth……
…he also checked the unaffiliated box on the application for this PAC.
Holy shit. I can’t believe Celia didn’t whack him with that.
NP. I figured that’s what happened.
Have to hand this one to Celia. Good reporting. If there’s a blogger awards dinner, she should get something for this story (but somehow, I don’t think she’s going to show).
Curious why Burris didn’t return her calls and Copeland is running away from it?
Fuck you Dave. You’ve been found out.
NOW I hope all of these people who you lied and deceived into believing all this open government bullshit, and sliming Ennis in the process, come out against YOU!
God I’m good, (almost as good as the great Mike Matthews)!!! Maybe I should get my own blog. This could be fun exposing hypocrites like Buris.
What is the difference between DCCC sending mail and the DSEA sending two pieces of mail? I was prepared to file until I was told I didn’t have to. I would 100% support a bill to make PACs file if they participate in the special. I didn’t lie or mislead anyone. We fight hard but we stay clean. And we’d be the only ones.
I have to hear what Dana has to say.
I object to the use of the word ‘thug’ after union.

PLEASE EXCUSE ME WHILE I BARF
OK Dave, now’s your chance to beg forgiveness: Reveal the names of all the contributors to your DCCC.
Your dirty tricks are succeeding to ruin the candidacy of a woman who has excellent credentials, which is a real shame!
Does anyone else think that Copeland and Burris are starting to remind them of Laurel and Hardy?
please someone photo shop a picture of that. Copeland as laurel and Burris as Hardy. I just did a google search for “Laurel and Hardy pics” and I swear its hilarious how much they look alike!! Wow it’s amazing! I don’t have the capability from my home computer. That would be one for the record books.
“I object to the use of the word ‘thug’ after union.”
Too bad it’s redundant. Would you prefer ‘goon’ instead?

Whew….
Okay, I win the Dave calling contest.
Now grow up.
You have nothing but your paranoia!
Don’t forget, she’s also on the Independent Party of Delaware line. It’s going to be very interesting to see their year-end report.
Who’s report?
Christian, the IPoD … Lenny & Squiggy ?
One committee covers a candidate. That candidate committee can have sub committees but I really can’t see that as the case here.
She has 5 kids too, keep an eye out for their year end too …
Yours Matt! Who do you think we’re talking dumbass?
Yeah, that really clears it up …
ณตธมศฅ
I wonder who is cussing Dave more? Christian or the Independent Party?
And Dave has the nerve to have his little black and white “Post Picture” of Sen. Williams- Who he stated was “The conscience of the Senate”
– He should be turning in his grave for how Dave has desecrated the Honorable Republican senator’s name and his family.
After hearing of this I AM going to call my 8 -10 Republican friends in the district to NOT vote for Christian.
It just isn’t worth seeing the party going down this road of “The Big Lie” -I DO remember history !!!
Here you go Dave -in your own words ……
“Anon – the person in the picture next to my posts is the late US Senator John J. Williams from Millsboro, often referred to during his era as “The Conscience of the Senate.”
Is this a record for anon posts in a single day or what?
Yeah Smit’. Only here you can’t track them down and harass them for exercising their “First Amendment”Rights as you just posted on your Blog.
Yeah, well, Dave posted that or maybe you tend not to read the details? You see, Dave and I are different people, so at minimum get that right.
You’ll need to ask him why he posted that.
I do sometimes wonder at the compulsion on GOP blogs to track down ISP addresses. What’s the point?
What is the defining issue in this race? I met with some folks (8) tonight about traffic and road construction concerns plus DELDOT in the Middletown area.
After we discussed their concerns and my ideas we branched off to local races and other issues.
Not one person in the room was happy about the race because they didn’t see any “message” that would make them get off the couch and go vote. Informal poll was 6-2 for Ennis.
I did not get their IP addreses.
-Because , Dis. it’s who god intended them to be. They were born that way. Shit – Don’t tell that to JC . She’ll put in a bill to open it up and track your butt down easier. It’s called “Open Government” – Nah, just kidding. Dana would want that anyway. Dave has him locked into the “Ka” look ,right Dana.
Dave and yourself = “Ka from the Jungle Book” and a small rodent.
– What do you think about all this Dana?
You wanted “Open Government”.
You won’t be able to see “DCCC’s list of contributor’s until a few days before the end of this year. Over $30,000.00 has been spent by this pac to promote your open government. Just like you promoted Christian after Dave”Convinced” you. You don’t even live in her freakin’ district BoBo !
– Is it legal . Probably. Is it open , full disclosure to people like YOU who want to know every little detail?
Dana ,Do ya’ think Christian would want to be seen with you after the way you dressed the last day of session of the Delaware General Assembly this June? With the glasses and the yellow U F O shirt on?
Oh, she’s an “Independent”. You and Frank Simms. -Two Wild and Craaazy Guy’s
So… seriously… brunch… im thinking mimosas, bloody mary’s… maybe some shots…
I’ve answered Jason. He’s wrong about this. See here.
