Not yet a month old, and already the Occupy movement in Delaware is in mortal danger. I don’t know if it is indicative of how the movement is progressing in other cities and states, but I hope not. Allow me to explain…

Once More With Hypocrisy

Filed in Delaware, National by on October 24, 2011 16 Comments

“It’s politics of personal destruction aimed at our own and it’s got to stop. Right now a lawn gnome could beat Obama in 2012, so, yes, we can be picky, but not nasty or malicious. If we don’t stop the Republican cannibalism we’re simply turning this election over to the Democrats, who certainly don’t deserve it.” — Christine O’Donnell.

This quote is so full of irony and hypocrisy I don’t even know where to start.

This Could be Damaging.

So Mitt Romney has a healthcare problem (his Romneycare plan in Massachusetts has a mandate and provides universal coverage, which are evil in the teabagger eyes, and worse, it was the model upon which Obamacare is based, which makes it now Satanic), and he has an immigration problem (the rich man looking to save a buck had no problem hiring undocumented workers before he was running for President). Now he has both problems again, this time together and multiplied by 10 or so.

Filed in Delaware by on October 24, 2011 21 Comments

Last week, we received a tip from an Alabama legal and political blog called the Legal Schnauzer. It seems they have been following the divorce of Ted Rollins from his wife. Ted Rollins is the son of the late John Rollins and step son of Michele. Ted Rollins has manipulated the legal system and misrepresented his considerable assets so as to lower his child support and alimony payments as much as possible, so low in fact, that Michele Rollins’ grandchildren are on food stamps.

Debunking Sunday Part II: Regulations kill Jobs

Filed in National by on October 23, 2011 2 Comments

According to Republicans, any and all regulations passed by the Obama Administration have obliterated the economy and so suffocated businesses that they were forced to lay off millions of workers. By contrast, according to the Republican Party, the simple repeal of these and all government regulations will lead to the creation of billions and billions of jobs. But analyses and reports from CNN, the New York Times, McClatchy papers, the Associated Press and the Economic Policy Institute all call this Republican charge false.

Cain’s Secret Plan….

Filed in National by on October 23, 2011 2 Comments

…. In responding to criticism that his tax plan would hurt working families, Cain said yesterday he has a secret plan to “fix” his policy that he hasn’t “told the public” about yet. That reminded me of this scene from the West Wing.
