Republican Short-Sightedness
This was obvious to everyone but the GOP. Today, a new NBC/MSNBC/Telemundo poll shows a similar trend at the national level, where “Latinos, once a semi-swing group of voters, now have swung overwhelmingly for President Obama and the Democratic Party, and younger Hispanics are moving to the Democrats in even greater numbers.” For example, 68% […]
President Reagan Too Busy to Honor Tradition
President George H.W. Bush Too Busy to Honor Tradition. President George W. Bush Too Busy to Honor Tradition. All of the above statements are headlines that Frank Knotts of Delaware Politics could have used in his latest screed, because they are as equally true as the headline he chose to use. Frank is upset that […]
The Magical 1,000
One thousand new hires seems to be the new mantra of the Markell Administration in response the laying off of over 200 teachers in Delaware. Who can argue about the hiring of 1,000 new teachers? As a matter of fact, Delaware Dem even promotes the 1,000 new hires as an offset to the layoffs. But is it really an offset?
We. Told. You. So.
President Obama’s American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, otherwise known as the Stimulus by normal intelligent people, and as TAX HIKES AND SOCIALISM!!!! (even though it contained the largest tax cut in all human history) by people who can’t put together a correctly spelled sentence if their life depended on it (otherwise known as the Teabaggers), is now proved to be a smashing succcess.
The Coons Campaign Hits Castle
The Coons for Senate campaign sent out a press release bashing Mike Castle for his addiction to appearing at federal funding announcements.
On Education Funding.
The thing that our critics never understand about Delaware Liberal is that none of our ten contributors agree with each other all the time, and we never speak in one voice. We speak in ten voices. At times they are unified, but more often than not they are varying and sometimes they are dissenting. I am about to dissent a little bit from one of my colleagues, but I hope this starts a good discussion about education.
We Are All To Blame For The Oil Spill
There are no simple answers to stop the Gulf oil leak and Al Giordano reminds us that the real cause of the oil leak is America’s addiction to oil.
Americans Are More Like Obama Than Jim DeMint
A new Pew Poll shows Americans prefer candidates who are willing to compromise (44% more likely, 22% less likely, 29% no difference) and who voted yes on health care reform (39% more likely, 35% less likely, 22% no difference). Americans also hate the bank bailouts, 49% are less likely to vote for candidates that supported bailouts with 14% more likely and 32% no difference.
Does Anyone Know How To Stop The Oil Spill?
I have no idea what will stop the oil spilling, and neither, it seems, does anyone else. Move past the political spin, who should be in charge talk, and who’s to blame chatter and listen to the scientists. What they’re saying is frightening. There are theories on how to stop the spill, but no one […]
DADT Repeal? There’s Movement!
Steve Benen lays out what’s going on. Key votes pending in Congress this week on whether to repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law that prohibits openly gay men and lesbians from serving in the military remain too close to call, advocates on both sides say. The Senate Armed Services Committee is expected to vote […]
