Chris Bullock Abandons Race for House Seat
So, I know someone here is connected enough to the story to tell the details. What are they?
Nancy Willing reported the advance notice last night.
The WNJ has abit more info.
I’m not yet backing a candidate here, but this whole business looks a little strange, and certainly smells as though there is more going on.
Step up and tell what you know!
Alternatively, step up and tell what it would take for one of the current candidates against Castle to get your vote.

what it would take for one of the current candidates against Castle to get your vote.
A pulse.
Actually, I did get an email on it around 9:30AM yesterday from someone who would know so I treated it as unconfirmed/probable.
By evening, it was confirmed via traditional media. Loudell’s interview with Heffron was the closest to the truth (last night). It isn’t something that I want to go into on a blog but feel free to call and discuss if you like.
Let’s just say that the current trend of baring one’s soul before stepping into the arena (a la NY’d newest governor) might have put even more of the fear of god into the good pastor.
The republicans report there was an issue with $750,000 given to the good Rev! What happened to that money? Who is James Bond? And who vetted this guy before he was “selected” to run? Did anyone contact the black community (who seem to have a lot of info) the general public didn’t have? It very interesting and sad.
“what it would take for one of the current candidates against Castle to get your vote.”
Um…their name on the ballot with a “D” next to it? I’m easy to please.
Castle will win again by default after the Dems nominate an opponent to run well to the left of him.
They did it the last time and they will do it again.
Note that in Maryland, “Wayne the Worm” went down in the First District after alienating most of his base. His opponent is linked with Martin O’Malley, a Governor who makes Ruth Ann look like a star. Harris should do well whatever happens at the top of the ticket.
Obama should have some negative coattails as he represents the Trotskyite element of his party with his message of amorphous ‘change’ and the ‘Fallacy of Hype’.
It probably did not help that non-union workers were being used to build the Bullock church. The Churh being just a block or two from the Union Hall.
“Let’s just say that the current trend of baring one’s soul before stepping into the arena (a la NY’d newest governor) might have put even more of the fear of god into the good pastor.”
“The republicans report there was an issue with $750,000 given to the good Rev! What happened to that money? Who is James Bond? And who vetted this guy before he was “selected” to run?”
You people are disgusting pigs. I looked into your rumors that you posted all over the internet most only under anonymous and false names and occasionally, just to create the facade that you always never post under false names, your own names.
The crap about TURN turned out to be just that: crap. The programs books were audited long ago and no money was slipped to Bullock.
James Bond is an African American GOPer in Bullock ‘s church and he did receive a stipend for his activities from the fund. But he got little more than $200 a month, mostly enough to cover his expenses. But you LIARS made it out as if he was living high on the hog and doing nothing for his “huge salary.”
Oh, one more thing about Bond. It wasn’t unusual AT ALL that Bullock, who got not one thin dime from TURN (contrary to your LIES), and Bond worked on this together because THEY THOUGHT UP THE IDEA OF TURN in the first place.
The woman who he supposedly had a fling w/ before he went to Chicago was professional organist the church had hired and Bullock fired. It wasn’t the first time she had been fired from a church before and she told the same tale about the minister who fired her before Bullock. No one believed it them. But years later KHN supporters thought it useful to dredge it up because they were shitting a brick knowing KHN would never beat Bullock in the primaries.
I suspect that the so-called $750,000 of GOP money–which you have been insinuating is some kind of embezzlement (which, if true, you really think the GOP would simply ignore, morons, after Bullock switched to the DEM Party?)–are DONATIONS some local GOPers made to his church building project. I heard long ago some GOPers were upset after Bullock switched parties that they had VOLUNTARILY made donations TO THE CHURCH when Bullock was still in the GOP. Apparently, these GOPer donors forgot to tell Bullock they were buying his soul when they donated money to help build a church building.
Now it seems after all those lies failed the latest invention is that he has a child out of wedlock.
When will you begin the lies that the Black minister is a child rapist 0r a part-time mugger?
Apparently, the love of lying and smearing someone is so addictinthat some people can’t even stop it after a person leaves the race. That’s what makes you pure SCUM.
I believe Bullock quit for 2 reasons. The first one is for the reason he said. Unlike other candidates, he doesn’t live in LALA LAND and think he can actually make a credible challenge against an incumbent national figure who has a campaign war chest of $1.5 million. Such hallucinations are for other candidates and for their loser friends who think that supporting a candidate is lying and libeling the opponent so they can aid and abet their favored candidate’s delusions.
The second reason I suspect is that Bullock never had a realistic sense of the time he had available to run for a statewide office. A minister is on call all the time, and he doesn’t have the luxury of punching a clock at the end of the day and campaigning on weeknights and on weekends. Nearly every time I tried to reach him, he was doing a funeral, in a hospital room, counseling a parishioner in sudden distress, attending some church meeting or committee, etc.
He doesn’t have the schedule to run for an office of this size. I told him long ago that he shouldn’t run for US Congress, that he would be biting off more than he could chew, that if he wanted to run for office, he should try something more modest and local. But he was being chatted up by national DEMs telling him that Castle was vulnerable and he had an outside chance of pulling it off and the money would come in. Well, the money didn’t.
So you liars and rumor mongers can lick your grubby little paws and tell yourself that your smear campaign is what drove him to quit all you want. But the truth is you are and always were totally irrelevant to whatever Bullock did. Mere gnats.
Just know this, now that he is no longer a political candidate and is now a private citizen, the standard for proving libel is a lot less difficult to obtain. If I find any more of your lying horseshit on the web printed under your name, I’ll pass it on to Bullock w/ the enthusiastic recommendation that he sue you silly because I’m sick and tired of watching your racist attempts to publicly lynch a black man.
Geez Garrett, so you can prove all of your charges above that so and so did such and such under false names with whose-e-what’s its motives that you know, yeah, that You KNOW just cause you fucking want so badly for those responsible for the trash that gets published over on your blog to belong to Liz or to me.
AND ooooh yeah, you know that IT IS all ABOUT the BLACK MAN. oooooh. Get over yourself, talk about pigs.
Your load is so ready to drop, boy, EVERYBODY OUT OF THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY.
Dana, everyone knows there is no money forthcoming from either the party or much of the public BEFORE the primary. Ask KHN, Spivak or anyone else, the DCCC and you will get the same story, dear.
Bullock’s claim is weak on it’s face.
The rumors that stick to him as far as untoward relationships were cited in part by the head of the Delaware Chamber of Commerce on WDEL last night, in case you missed it. I highly doubt that he got his information from anyone remotely connected with KHN.
As far as what Liz has posted here, I have never heard any of it before and wouldn’t know. What I heard I had covered with Richard Korn back in the summer just to let him know that there are rumors out there and I told Richard who had told me. That was the extent of that.
I honestly see the timing here of his announcement as one derived from the culmination of what may fly at him later on from Castle’s camp (Heffron would seem to be rather in on that end, no?).
Go fly your little kite somewhere else, big boy. And stick your cheap threats where the sun don’t shine. What a tool.
I don’t doubt that your heart is in the right place here Dana, but after as many gaffs and misjudgements you consistently make, when it comes to politics and predictions, don’t you think that you should step off the gang plank on the correct side of the ship for a change?
“Dana, everyone knows there is no money forthcoming from either the party or much of the public BEFORE the primary. Ask KHN, Spivak or anyone else, the DCCC and you will get the same story, dear.”
Reading comprehension problem? As I said, he was talked to months ago by national DEM figures about running and promises were made and not kept.
“but after as many gaffs and misjudgements you consistently make, when it comes to politics ”
LOL! You are saying this about someone else? You have got to be kidding?
I like Karen N., but I’ll tell you this: she will get CREAMED by Castle even if she gets to run against him. You tell yourself that she can beat him or come close, but no serious observer will think for one moment that you can talk about someone else’s judgment. You live in gaga land.
Two other things, Nancy. I know identical IP addresses when I see them. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
I don’t care about what some hack from the Chamber of Commerce said WHO NEVER CHECKED THE RUMORS. You know, like you do:
1. Hear a rumor
2. Spread it around as if it were true
3. Act all uppity when you can’t produce the proof for your repeated smears.
Kiss my ass, Nancy. You are a fraud and vicious person and you know it.

An oxymoron if ever there was one.

I do? Since when big guy? You live in a bubble, dude. And you have marginalized yourself and I would guess that the damage that you have done to your own reputation is hurting your bottom line about now.
Keep up the good work.
Two other things, Nancy. I know identical IP addresses when I see them. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

And I know that you are a lying sack of shit.
Buzz off, turd boy.
You have marginalized yourself with your fantastic lines of shit about Burris and now me. Alienating the blogger community has probably hurt your bottom line and it serves you right.
You are on the wrong path here about me but I am sure that you will continue to throw out lies. How do you sleep at night, Dana?
I sincerely hope to marginalize myself from you and so should anyone else if they knew how you peddle lies like you did w/ Potter and now Bullock….both black men interestingly.
Nancy, the question quietly asked about you is: do you ever receive money from Harris McDowell on the QT? It was awfully coincidental that you were passing out a lie sheet about Potter when he was challenging McDowell (someone you claim you’ve only had contact w/ maybe a couple times).
“How do you sleep at night, Dana?”
Let’s put it this way: I don’t ever fall asleep because I passed out drunk.
Best wishes to Chris as he gets his new church built and he serves his parishioners to the best of his ability.
I think Protack is about to get in the middle of a bar fight.
Snicker, snicker, Garrett.
The smell of desparation surrounds you and filth of your implications reflect only your lack of intergrity and dearth of honesty.
By the way, I didn’t notice you fighting McDowell in leg hall as I have done.
You ought to crawl out from under Korn’s ass and get a little air.
Dana,
Though I’ve remained mostly silent recently, I feel I must call you out on your patently offensive remark directed at Nancy. Nowhere in the past do I remember Nancy being so outright vicious to you as to make such a debate-inhibiting comment like that which you made above.
I consider both you and Nancy good friends and I hate seeing the commentary swallowed up by such dead-end statements as the one above.
Well, Mike, I think that whatever I said you find offensive, it pales in comparison to the vicious and unsubstantiated rumors she has helped to spread about Bullock.
She should not be spreading bullshit about someone based on UNSUBSTANTIATED rumor, especially someone whose employment depends upon his reputation. That is lower and low. I think you should rebuke her for that and tell her to put up the evidence or shut up about Bullock.
Why does she spread rumors about people and NEVER offers one scintilla of objective evidence? I think it is because it’s bullshit.
Then the other smear monger here is Liz Allen who ADMITTED contacting Mascitti’s employer over a PRIVATE e-mail exchange and preposterously claimed he was “stalking” her on the internet.
Notice the common thread: Jeopardizing someone’s employment. Is that disgusting, very disgusting? …
I have fond memories of your post-election party for Ferris Wharton.
Dana, tha only one contending that I helped spread Bullock’s infidelity rumors is you. I did no such thing. In fact I took a stand against that tactic when someone did so on your blog.
Since you claim to be friendly with KHN please call her to verify that I contacted her immediately after seeing what was published on your blog’s comments to ask her to please go on your blog and condemn such verbage. She declined to do so herself but in fact sent a surrogate, her BFF Mike Dore to do so.
So get off of your cloud.
As for Liz, I think it will bear out that all of the huge hassle bullshit that she presented led to the unfortunate new rule of one call per show per week. Yup.
It is clearly (to me at least) Liz’s fault that the rest of us are screwed out of our ability to call WDEL’s shows as frequently as times long past.
Beyond that, I got a few sympathy calls myself this morning over this fuss that you are making on behalf of Richard Korn and his pet project, the good pastor Bullock (who I like, personally, very much). What I was told this morning, Dana dear, is that there is a record in the court system of no less than 5 sexual harrassment charges filed against Bullock.
Now you tell me, who is responsible for forcing these details out? Dana, you. Yup.
For the record, Liz’s on-air calls (or anyone else’s, for that matter) to WDEL were not the reasoning behind the new one-call-per-week rule. What I’ve written here before is not something I made up; national consultants have informed us (for a long time, I might add) that allowing unlimited calls leads to fewer callers, making the shows sound too clubby. Ultimately that alienates less-frequent listeners, who feel like they’re on the outside looking in.
So far, it seems to be working; we are getting many more new callers under this policy than the old one.
“this fuss that you are making on behalf of Richard Korn and his pet project, the good pastor Bullock”
Bull. I like Bullock and you are spreading UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMORS about Bullock, even when you pretend you are n0t doing so AND I CAN PROVE IT:
“there is a record in the court system of no less than 5 sexual harrassment charges filed against Bullock.”
Those are your words, Nancy. You put them out there above. You can’t beg off printing another UNSUBSTANTIATED, reputation-damaging RUMOR on the basis of another UNSUBSTANTIATED claim that you got phone calls from people about it.
There is the proof, readers. This is what Nancy Willing does. This is how she spreads vicious smears about people, knowing how damaging they are BUT TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROVING THEM before she prints them.
Nancy Willing is devious, underhanded, and not to be trusted at all.
I might as well place this thesis here as well as anywhere:
I am going to assume that Dana Garrett is a tool of Richard Korn.
I am going to assume that Garrett’s recent anti-Coons slants is generated from Korn.
That leads from the information where Dana claimed that he was told of some 50K that would come his way if he ran for General Assembly in 2006 combined with his association with Korn.
It is another assumption, indeed, that it was Korn who promised Garrett these funds.
Was it Korn who also promised the good pastor his $$ [from Garrett’s ‘DC bigwigs’] that was never forthcoming? Good guess.
And, considering the froth emitting from Garrett’s mouth and the known lack of his employment, is Korn funding Garrett’s evil diatribes?
Just sayin’.
And in the common psychology of projection, Dana, a possible recipient of Korn cash, would project that I similarly would be recipient of cash for political slander. Heh.
Impugn me all you like, Garrett/Korn. I am above this and I am pretty sure that all who know and love me agree with that and that is half of the state, babe.
Dana…
How in the world is…
Nancy Willing is devious, underhanded, and not to be trusted at all…
any different from the reasons you scream “LIBEL” at people calling you a socialist? You just disparaged her character in plain sight right there. Don’t twist this by comparing “socialist” to what you said about Nancy. IMO, what you said directly about Nancy’s character is worse than being called something that identifies a political ideology.
No, I am not advocating a lawsuit, but I am pointing out that it is apparently OK for you, whereas it’s tragically wrong for others.
Ooo, that’s right, you won’t see this, because you ignore me…a common bore. JA.
OK Al. I buy that. It was all too easy to make the jump from her threats after you banned her from your show to WDEL immediately going with one call a week/both shows. That deftly lifted her complaint off of the table.
“For the record, Liz’s on-air calls (or anyone else’s, for that matter) to WDEL were not the reasoning behind the new one-call-per-week rule.”
I just figured Jensen got tired of Mike Protack calling in to show off his knowledge on every single subject.
Mike Castle’s list of earmarks is up on his website, print it and bring ’em to the town meeting:

G: We all had our favorites.

Look at this crap she is making up OUT OF THIN AIR. None of this has any basis in reality. It’s pure supposition on her part (and also totally untrue) and yet she flings it forth.
So, Smitty, Nancy has proven why what I said about her isn’t libel. It’s yet one more example of her being “devious, underhanded,” and showing she should “not to be trusted at all.”
[“IMO, what you said directly about Nancy’s character is worse than being called something that identifies a political ideology.” Of course you “think” that. It serves the purpose of excusing your buddy for libeling me.]
And why is Nancy now throwing this bit of smoke in the air? Because she spread another rumor about Bullock having 5 sexual harassment charges against him and when challenged to offer the proof, she has ONCE MORE failed to do so.
Readers, when does it become clear that Nancy NEVER OFFERS PROOF for her slanders because IT DOESN’T EXIST.
Whether it’s Bullock or Potter or now me–she invents bullshit about people and spreads it around as if it were true or highly probable.
She is devious, underhanded, and not to be trusted.
NANCY WILLING , WHERE IS THE PROOF THAT CHRIS BULLOCK HAS 5 SEXUAL HARASSMENT CHARGES AGAINST HIM?
Produce it, Nancy. Stop try to divert the subject that YOU HAVE NOT PRODUCED ONE IOTA OF EVIDENCE of any of your libels against Bullock.
Heh, kinda like the crapo you make up about me?
Craven images indeed, and out of your toe jam, too. I am honored to submit to the full brunt of your creative juices, and you? It feels reaaaaaaaaaaal good, don’t it?
I was told the evidence is out there, go find it for yourself.
“I was told the evidence is out there, go find it for yourself.”
I don’t believe you were told any such thing. I don’t believe you even got any phone calls about it. I believe you made the story of the phone call up to give you cover for dropping another invented smear on the internet about Bullock.
The reason you aren’t looking it up and are telling me to do so is because you can’t look it up…because the “evidence doesn’t exist.
You lied about the entire thing just like the other lies you invented about Bullock as well as the lies you spreads about Potter.
You are really an utterly despicable person.
You’ll get caught in something you can’t wiggle out of, Nancy. It’s bound to happen. It certainly needs to.
Of course, I expect that you don’t Dana. But that doesn’t mean shit.
You also claim that I was responsible for placing comments on your blog anonymously which is the kind of bull that has left you with no credibility.
I am somewhere between disgusted and perplexed that you have taken the tack that you have. But you have, indeed, decided to walk the gang plank.
Where’s your proof about Bullock, Nancy?
Stop shifting the topic. You made serious unsubstantiated claims about him.
You are OBLIGATED to prove them.
Where’s the proof, Nancy?
As I mentioned, Dana, I gave my source of these allegations to Richard Korn 8 months ago. He knows where this information came from. I have no doubt that he will be glad to reveal all.
