Sunday Open Thread [10.14.12]
Today is the day Austrian extreme sky diver Felix Baumgartner is planning his record-breaking jump. They estimate that his jump will take about half an hour to get back to Earth during this afternoon’s 120,000-foot skydive attempt. You can see the live coverage here:
Arlen Specter is dead.
Alex Pires thought that he wasn’t looking too good.
Did anyone catch Beau Biden on This Week w/ George Snuffleupagus?
The transcript looks good.
Baumgartner has his new world record for a skydive. 128,000ft in about 10 minutes. No word yet if he broke the sound barrier.
RIP, Arlen Specter.
If there’s any justice in the afterlife, he’s busy right now learning how many bullets really were involved in the assassination of JFK.
A wile ago I got a robo call from perennial loser Mike Protack’s campaign. The first part of the call was totally indecipherable…someone talking at a distance. Then a woman’s came on and said “You should be ashamed of your history.” Then there was some BS about Protack providing strong leadership.
Given that the first part was indecipherable, the message to the voter seems to be “You (voter) should be ashamed of your history.” How offensive. Protack can’t even manage to put together a decent robo call. At every level, he is politically inept.
Dana, just got it <20 mins ago. Was that supposed to be Bullock's "47%"?
I also just got the robo-call from Charlie Brown’s teacher. IT went waaanwannnnwahwannwannnwannnwah, then it told me to be ashamed.
I am, of that 2-cent robo call from Protack, and its frightening low quality in 2012.
Seriously, it sounded like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss2hULhXf04
and I had the same reaction as Peppermint Pattie.
You mean I can’t be a super republican , take GOP money then switch parties and nobody cares? I mean I said I love the GOP and Wilmington was under democrat rule for 40 years and we need to change that? Oops I thought I could fool everyone
No worry about church and state separation either ,whew
Hey Mike Protack, good to see that you haven’t lost your campaigning brilliance. Here you are, impersonating someone who has actually won an election and adding the 13,564th reason why no one who is reading this blog should even vote for you. In a year where you might actually make some inroads with people who were incredibly unhappy with the Primary outcome.
Good to see that you haven’t lost your shooting yourself in the foot skills.
Waaaahhh, indeed, you moron.
Protack separates church from state? What an uproarious joke! I actually friended that furball on FB for a while. I could hardly raise a single social-political issues without that cromangon posing “political” solutions that came straight from a primitive fundamentalist standpoint. Protack is practically a theocratic, a throwback, an evolutionary deject.
repub candidate for county exec. look at his site registration lol. VERMONT lol..

I am confused bullock is a big time r and that is no problem
Bullock was in bed with GOP big time and showed he could be bought now we have Gordon coming back and there has to be someone checking that guy and the Rev can’t be trusted.
I’m not confident that Mike Protack has the mental acuity to check his fly much less an elected official.
Are my lies exposed? Damn
This line of attack is ironic coming from Protack, who used and then abandoned the Independent Party of Delaware a few years back.
Memo to Mike, and all those alter-egos above: Nobody cares. Perhaps you’ve heard of Margaret Rose Henry? She switched parties and then switched back, and her constituents vote for her again and again.
Poor stupid geezer. The rev headed up a GOP team called the underground republican network. He also took $50k of money and switched 6 months after we have him the money. Henry was not a big GOP person the rev was and we in the GOP will let everyone know geezer is not so smart as Henry was in a black district bullock is not you weenies complain so much this issue is the right one to sink a bad minister
I know about iPod. Nut bag Liz Allen tried to block mike in chancery. She lost. Wolf as head of iPod went AWOL around the primary. We tried for three days to reach him and he was at undisclosed location. There was no iPod and is no iPod The GOP will get behind mike cuz bullock lied and lied and lied. Keep complaining and we will keep at it. Maybe geezer will grow a pair and put mike through when he calls in or get him in studio. Nah he knows he can’t handle it.
Is this just MP talking to himself?
Tell everyone you want. If you think it will sway a single vote, you’re even more deluded than I thought.
Mike Protack can buy all the advertising he wants. Oh, wait, what’s that? He can’t raise a nickel? Oh, too bad.
SW: He’s talking to the voices in his head. Grab some popcorn.
After a dozen or so lost elections (all blamed on the DEGOP), this is Protack’s big chance. The state party is backing him 100%, and he wasn’t primaried by someone more human. If he loses this one will he admit that the problem is that he’s an unelectable creepy fuckwad or will he find someone else to blame?
BTW, Dana Garrett is right, in 2008 he attacked Bill Lee for drinking and *gasp* dating women, he and his cabal of (2?) supporters believe that a woman who gets an abortion should go to jail for murder.
If he loses this one will he admit that the problem is that he’s an unelectable creepy fuckwad or will he find someone else to blame?
Go back and read the attempt at pink postcarding this site. I’ve got alot of money on option number 2. I’ve met two-year olds with more maturity.
Interesting, isn’t it, that so many Protack supporters could figure out what that inaudible tape of Bullock is about? I couldn’t make out a word of it.
@anon: Did the GOP come through with any money? Because “someone” was complaining about that on DP.
The NCC GOP is on his campaign finance report for $2,000, part of that is returning his filing fee. He should be grateful he got that much after his history of trying to sink other GOP candidates.
The DEGOP has no money to give, that’s been the case for at least the past 6 years. Smart republican candidates form their campaigns on their own, with no expectations of help from the party.
The point is that Protack is a notorious smear mongerer. That he uses an inaudible tape on a robo call to SUGGEST BUT NOT PROVE a scandal is only typical Mike Protack dirty politics.
