This ad from Priorities USA is devastating. Romney made $100 million when Bain purchased then shuttered this profitable paper mill which was running three shifts a day prior to the Romney take over.

Bullock is getting the Endorsements

Filed in Delaware by Delaware Dem on July 17, 2012 • 14 Comments

Rev. Chris Bullock was unanimously endorsed recently by the Wilmington Democratic City Committee. And yesterday, he got the endorsement of one of his former rivals for the office of New Castle County Council President, that of Bill Dunn. Bill Dunn left the race for County Council President once Speaker Gilligan announced his retirement from representing the 19th Representative District.

I am curious on our readers’ take on the County Council race, especially as it plays into the County Executive race? Personally, I am undecided between Taschner and Bullock. Bill Dunn was going to get my vote. Of Renee and Chris, I have met with both of them over the years and I like both of them. What are your thoughts?

Joe Arpaio Press Conference Findings Leaked

Filed in National by jason330 on July 17, 2012 • 57 Comments

Joe Arpaio will prove this afternoon that President Obama is a member “The Babylonian Brotherhood” which aims to enslave humanity. In addition to Obama their ranks include most world leaders, the British Royal Family, Jay Leno, Larry Hagman and the entire cast of the Golden Girls. The evidence will show that members of the brotherhood are secretly 7 feet tall reptiles who drink blood. The reptiles came to Earth from a “fourth dimension” to mine for precious metals, and must engage in murder, kidnapping and drug parties to keep their human appearance.

The facts are indisputable and will likely thrust Romney into the lead in his race to other-throw the usurper from the fourth dimension.

I wonder if I am just noticing them or if these ads on DART buses are a new phenomena for Mitch Crane’s campaign. Bravo!

Earth to Pires…Earth Calling Alex Pires

How can an Indy candidate for Senate come out of the blocks and force me to agree with Tom Carper minutes into a campaign?

Alex Pires, who filed Monday to challenge U.S. Sen. Tom Carper as an Independent Party candidate, quickly opened a surprising new line of attack against the Democratic incumbent, questioning Carper’s health.
