Anti-Jack Markell’s Budget Group Cools

Filed in National by on April 6, 2009

Despite non-stop flogging by Rick Jensen, the anti-Jack Markell facebook group seems to have leveled off at around 1,110.

Rick Jensen continues his breathless reports of the group’s astounding growth – but adding 199 people in a week seem rather anemic to me. As a measure of that lethargy, despite it’s 1,110 members there have only been 115 comments on the “wall” and only one comment since 9:00 this morning.

All in all I’m left feeling sorry for people who depend on Rick Jensen for information and not entertainment. To hear Jensen discuss this facebook group, you’d think it was the most active community on the internet tubes.

    First I heard of it. I don’t listen to Jensen and I don’t do Facebook.

    Who are these losers?

    I just picked my hubby up at the Kent Co. Levy Court, where Gov. Jack is having a state worker town hall, as I type this.

    The parking lot was REALLY full.

    Film at 11.

    I wasn’t going because I am not state worker and I have a Picnic for Peace meeting tonight.

    Whatever you do, don’t call it a sleeper cell. 😀

  3. the facebook thing for people looking for a job that I heard him promoting I give him props for. Must be hard for him to have to help all the losers though.

    Don’t know why I was listening to Jensen this afternoon 🙂 but the facebook group’s leader was on and didn’t really have anything useful to say. Although I disagree with the 8% pay cut, I do realize that the money has to come from somewhere. Unless this group brings something useful to the table, it’s just a waste of time 🙂

    And Flutecake…That’s a BIIIG PArking lot 🙂

    Having Jensen as a visible adversary is a good move for Gov. Jack.

  6. Rick Jensen says:

    They’re just people… the vast majority living in Delaware… who are frustrated and feel like they have no voice. The fact that over 700 found the page with no promotion in just 6 days is remarkable and shows that it is truly a grassroots organization. Most of them couldn’t attend the Town Hall Meetings because they have to work. They don’t hate Jack. The founder voted for Jack & likes him. They want him to know that many of them are living “close to the edge” as state employees and a 10% cut could put them over… on food stamps, etc.
    I wanted to make sure they had an opportunity to get the Governor’s attention… which they did… even though I don’t agree with all of their opinions & ideas. The Rick Jensen Show supports Free Speech and Great Opportunity. I don’t expect supporters of the “Fairness Doctrine” to understand why all of this is important… it’s a “conservative” thing.

    Jason330 and others need to realize that the face book group dealing with Markell was made as a place for people to vent…IT IS NOT IN COMPETITION WITH ANYTHING, so i do not see how thinking it has “cooled” makes any bit of difference…many of you are idiots on here…

  8. Al Mascitti says:

    Oh, for goodness’ sake, Rick, it’s not a “conservative” thing. Claiming something is a conservative thing — that’s a conservative thing.

  9. cassandra m says:

    And pretending that the people you are talking to are advocates of “Fairness Doctrine” without bothering to find out if your audience really thinks that — that’s a conservative thing.

    Creating oppositions and enemies where they don’t really exist.

  10. Geezer says:

    If you think about this for, oh, five seconds, you’ll realize that so many people learned about this so fast because most of them work together.

    name stealer?

    what???

  14. bill says:

    I have to say that many of you are not well informed about the face book site…remember not everyone has face book, so the #’s only indicate facebook members…of course it will be smaller…also its a sounding board, and th eguy that made it never expected, nor was he ever asked to be a politician with answers, he just gave people a place to group. At least he did something!!!
