Comment Rescue: Fusion Finished?
Wolfgang von Baumgart, State Sec., IPOD Says:
December 13, 2007 at 1:05 pm Reports of fusion’s death have been greatly exaggerated….Wolfgang von Baumgart,State Secretary, IPOD
Call it a hunch, but I take this to mean that KHN is getting an IPOD endorsement. Either that or Wolfgang just takes his sweet time commenting in issues of the day.
My bad. This comment means nothing of the sort. Karen Hartley-Nagle is not looking to do anything other than run and win the Democratic nomination and take the fight to Mike Castle.
Apologies to KHN.
Have any of you ever seen or met Wolf? He is a total nut job, that recieved less than 5% of the vote when he ran for Sussex County Council 4 years ago. I Can’t believe that you guys even give him the time of day.
Never met the guy. I just thought that it was odd that he was commenting on a thread that was about a fortnight old.
I never told him what time it was.
I was just testing the system and wanted to leave a general historical summary comment in what I mistakingly thought was a cooler, less
emotional environment.
It takes a great leap of imagination and/or logical non sequitor to infer an IPOD endorsement or cross-party nomination of any candidate therefrom. Anyway, the art of fusion is still in the developmental stage — in search
of unified criteria. Implemented correctly, fusion can win an election — if not carefully aforethought, it can make a candidate look silly.
Given the evolution of recent events, I was too
busy making complex political decisions and didn’t have the luxury to comment
instantaneously. { I also find the modern occidental sence of time to be somewhat conceptually limited. Consider the accuracy vs. speed dilemma and compare the range of long- vs. mid- vs. short-term thinking. }
Little Red Riding Hood needs to get his/her
election statistics straight. We have an obvious
and contemptable case of narrow-mindedness, coupled with intolerance, imprecision and disinformation — laughable at best…
Politics requires a thick skin and nature has amptly endowed me with same. It would be very interesting to see LRRH’s poll numbers. What
would this sorry excuse for a blog commentator
have done if it was discovered that his/her best poltical freind apparently committed
election fraud with his/her signature ???
I doubt that LRRH has the moral courage or class
to print a retraction after checking the DEC
statistics — let alone the ability to write a
coherant policy statement beyond an insipid propaganda paragraph. Care to debate face-to-face ??? [ I doubt it. ]
Most likely, LRRH admires Ann Coulter and is
poorly copycatting her crude tactics.
Enough of this amusement … Life is too short.
Bye for now. I’ve got better things to do …
Wolf
( LRRH : like it or not, at least I’ve got the guts to sign my comments… )
The spacing on my last comment was horrendous.
We need a better word processor.
What relates KHN, fusion and Wolfgang’s feeling like he should right the record?
Two media sources talked about fusion in their item about her candadacy announcement and both included Frank Sims assertion that fusion is dead in the IPOD.
Wolfgang corrected that assumption.
Can someone please verify what % Wolf got in his election for S.C.C.?
Lets be clear! Frank Sims and Tommie Little are dead! Fusion is alive and well. We in IPOD will select only candidates in the future whose platforms and ideas are similiar to ours. Of course, we want Independent candidate running as independent, however if we don’t have a candidate in every race, we MAY decide to choose one from another party that we all agree would be better than another, or is a challenger of an incumbent.
LRR’Hood…re: Wolf…don’t you get it? at least he had the courage to run (against a very strong machine). So, if you haven’t tried it… 2008 is your year…and do not knock those who make the effort.
Thanks NANCY and ANNON II. You got it straight.
The general princple of fusion was previously stated for its own sake. Ergo, any inferance to
a specific political personality in the original
context was premature (no entendre indended, but
some might infer ) as well a logical non sequitor.
Just as a binary alloy cannot be formed from a
combination of metallic elements exceeding a 20%
diifference in atomic diameters, there is a
maximum acceptable political difference beyond
which a given fusion candidacy is precluded.
In light of a greater level of emergence, it is safe to say that the varibles are more complex and dynamic — yet fraught with subjective factors. Herein lies the essence of the problem. Further research is, perforce, required. We need a workable matrix.
With respect to wasted DNA, Little Red Riding
Hood should clean up his/her/? own garbage i.e.:
next time, do a little research before going
public instead of trying to get someone else to do it. [ By asking someone else, LRRH has admitted to laziness, incompetance or both ] Now, who should not be taken seriously ???
Such is the flip side of the First Ammendment.
Politics is a chess game. LRRH is still playing checkers.
Finally, I never thought that an innocent paraphrase of Mark Twain would stir up such a
political duststorm. Let’s see what tomorrow
brings.
Also sprach Zarathustra….
Wolf
I wish that I could get this to align correctly.
Re: Comment 11 …
Damn those typos … full speed ahead!
*** CORRECTION ***
That’s Comment 10…
This again illustrates the speed vs.accuracy
dilemma.
Q1: What is the optimum acceptable range ???
Q2: How many are really fed up to the gills with
Delaware politics as usual and what are you going to do about it ???
Can I have some what Wolf is smokin?!!
(I jest)
Dear Nancy,
I appreciate your sence of humor, however I assure you that the comments were a product of my natural and unadulterated neurochemistry.
From the literature, Tetrahydrocannabinol is actually a thought inhibitor. To pardon the pun — I was’t smokin, but my comments were…
P.S. :
Nancy,
You forgot a key preposition in your last comment [ presumably “of” ], but I caught your drift.
“Can I have some what Wolf is smokin?!!”
No, Nancy. You’ve clearly had enough.
Just who is this “Little Red Riding Hood” anyway,other than a cheap impersonation of
a Grimm’s Fairy Tales character. Does anyone
have the right GPS or Gallileo coordinates ???
Now, Dave… Be nice. Cut Nancy a break.
Oh, drat! I forgot a question mark in Comment 18. I am my own worst critic. Besides, its fun
to catch one’s own errors before someone else does.
