Angel Clark over at delawarepolitics.net posted an interview she did with Matthew Walsh, who is running for Mayor of Georgetown.
Now if I was running for mayor of Georgetown, or any other city in Delaware or the US for that matter, I’d address things that I believed the voters would be concerned about, such as police protection, street maintenance issues, land use, you know, the bread and butter issues of local politics. But the Matt half of “Matt & Crank” doesn’t do that. Instead, our “Sussex County Angel” questions Walsh, and he responds to, these hot-button issues affecting everyday life in the Sussex County Seat: handguns in state-run public housing, school district consolidation, HCR, HB 353 (which Clark claims to be about “state sovereignty”), and immigration. Needless to say, Walsh, who hosts a morning show on a local station, gives answers that would warm any teabagger’s heart.
Maybe I’m missing something here, but what does HCR, immigration, school district consolidation, yada, yada, yada, have to do with keeping a town of 4600 people running? Absolutely nothing! I don’t know what Walsh’s long-term plans are for politics, but I’d start by addressing what you’re going to do to make Georgetown a better place to live instead of issues you’re not going to have any control over if you happen to fool enough people to vote for you next month.
