Charlie Copeland has seen all of the fun that we have here in the blogosphere and has decided that he wants in.
Created by former State Senator Charlie Copeland and others, Resolute Determination will be resolute in its determination to ensure that our government is accountable and that a broad array of public policy initiatives and ideas are considered. Resolute Determination seeks not to be a “loyal opposition” to Delaware’s Democrat controlled government, but a voice that expresses support for policies on the center-right of the political spectrum – supporting policy where appropriate while critiquing other policy where such criticism is due.
I wonder if he is hoping that “Delaware will be where he needs it to be” in 4 years. I give it 3 months and he will be gone.
The name scares me.
I had to leave a comment.
BTW, isn’t Resolute Determination redundant?
‘Resolute Determination’ sounds like the name for a war-effort both unjustified and rapacious in order to make it seem like killing helpless children is somehow OK.
Enigmatic Anachronism
It sounds like one of those auto-generated passwords AOL used to assign.
Repetative Redundantancy
What a joke!
This was part of the PR from Jud Bennett about the name:
It’s called “Resolute Determination” to differentiate it from Bill Lee’s blog, “Dissolute Procrastination”.
Dissolute or Distillate? Of course, there would be no procrastination, would there?
Dissolute or Distillate?
You would get banned from your own blog for that.
Endeavor to perservere.
I skimmed through Charlie’s posts, and there is something very Burris-esque (Burresque?) about them in their blithe recitation of talking points, disregard for the obvious alternate explanation, and of course the strawmen.
Anyone with the patience and decent fact-checking skills should drop in and use Charlie for a piñata.
Edison Kitty: You beat me to it. “Indians Vow to Endeavor to Perservere.”
I wish to hereby recapitulate at this nominal juncture that I will endeavor, resolutely, to encapsulate the meaningfulness of the new moniker of my personalized own web-log blogging applicational nexus:
Eschewing Obfuscation
Wherzaloot Accumulation
Absolute Abomination
(Actually I can’t work up the requisite head of steam for Charlie. He is a Mac user. That’s a telling chink in the Conservative Young Turk facade. )
Accordingt to Wikipedia (and we all believe everything that Wikipedia writes) – Resolute Determination also called adhiṭṭhāna is one of the ten “perfections” ((http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhitthana)
Wow – Copeland and Perfection in one sentence — Can I gag now?
p.s. does anybdoy else think their Blogroll is hilarious?

Dissolute or Distillate?
Aye, true dat. I just banned myself for one week. Bill and I will discuss my transgression with some spirits, pronto!
Charlie doesn’t give Kilroy a reach around. Typical Republican.
anon,
Republicans are pretty interchangeable these days. It’s pretty much “I don’t know what to do, but whatever Obama’s doing, I don’t like it!”
Weird blogname, though. Yeah, I’m waiting to hear all those great ideas I’m sure are just waiting to bust out of Copeland.

“Charlie doesn’t give Kilroy a reach around. Typical Republican.”
Old Kilroy has been a lone wolf howling in the wind for years! My mottos are, “Sharks never sleep and Perseverance always prevails” I know my contributions help beat down those dumb ass 3 Tired Diplomas and DSTP and that started back in 1997! Full financial transparency public education will come!
It’s great to see Copeland willing to mix it up with the public. Who knows someday he’ll see the light and move to the center! When I bailed on the Delaware GOP I didn’t realize how much is sucks in the middle. But I am an independent in heart and sprit!
ResDet sounds like the kind of moniker Republicans would give to a military or intelligence op.
Mission accomplished!
Will he use his own name or a moniker?
This thing has been up sonce Dec 17 and no comment or support from Dave Burris and his minions
Great just what we need, another windbag, this man is creepy – his god is small business and anything that would stand in the way of small business gets swept under the rug. No minimum wage increase, no health benefits for employees who work for small business, lunch for an employee if the employer can spare the time for an employee break,. Mr Copout Copeland one man one view. Typical aristocrat who wants everything to go his way at any cost,
