Resignation Watch
We’ve all been watching the great Republican purge for about one year now. Republicans like Dede Scozzafava and David Frum have been kicked out of being Republicans in good standing for not showing sufficient deference to wingnut orthodoxy. We’ve watched Republican party leaders like Michael Steele and Eric Cantor have to apologize for offending conservative […]
A Woman’s Place Is In The House (of Representatives)
This is from an actual newsletter sent from the Republican party in Ohio. It’s referencing the OH-13 House race, where the incumbent is Betty Sutton. I know I keep seeing polls that show Democrats are in trouble in November. Sometimes, though, I have a hard time taking it seriously – specific Republicans are a lot […]
Is FOX News Too Liberal for You, Too?
Have you ever sat at home and thought to yourself, “Man, I can’t stand all this liberal garbage on FOX News. I wish someone would start a real conservative network”? If so, you’re apparently not alone. Enter, RightNetwork. RightNetwork is a newly-launched online network that plans on launching a television version later this summer. It […]
Wingnuts Don’t Only Run for Congress
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 […]
Vote!
Twitter points us to a fun little survey at Chris Cillizza’s The Fix, a fantasy political draft. Cillizza is asking what current politician is a future star. Our very own governor, Jack Markell, is one of the choices. You may now return to your regularly scheduled blogging.
The New Wingnut Welfare Gravy Train
I think we’re all pretty familiar with the wingnut welfare system. The Republican party nurtures their young leaders by providing them jobs in bogus think tanks, where they can publish books nobody reads, send out press releases and appear on TV as a ubiquitious “Republican strategist.” Apparently Republicans have found an even newer way to […]
I Might Be Getting My Inheritance Early
My parents have volunteered to become census workers in Sussex County.
A Tale of Two Senators
I don’t know if you caught the story in the News Journal this morning featuring the work that Senator Kaufman is doing on financial reform. He talks passionately about dismantling Too Big To Fail and reinstating much of the Glass-Steagall act. By contrast, Tom Carper (the one we are stuck with) is already back-pedaling on […]
Not To Be Outdone By Arizona… Oklahoma Brings On The Crazy
Via kos: OKLAHOMA CITY—The Oklahoma Senate approved several bills Monday that opponents say would make it more difficult or uncomfortable for women to get abortions, including one that would require women seeking the procedures early in their pregnancies to undergo an invasive form of ultrasound…[The law] would require doctors to use a vaginal probe in […]
I Feel Like I’ve Heard This Song Before
Delaware’s very own Tom Carper is ready to surrender and weaken the Financial Reform bill right when Republicans seem to be weakening. Carper, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, said that he thinks a bipartisan deal can be reached on financial regulatory reform legislation, and argued it should be done by dropping the most […]
New Blog In Town
RSmitty, Dave Burris and Michael Stafford have teamed up and launched Delaware Tomorrow – a new perspective on policy and politics. Hmmm… the rebirth of moderate Republicans… or the last hurrah? We shall see. (Psst… notice how I gave you top billing, Smitty.)
