Delaware’s Cowards
These are the cowards so beholden to the NRA that they want terrorists and criminals and the mentally ill to have unfettered access to any weapon they can get their hands on. They deserve to be defeated at their next election on this vote alone.
The most cowardly vote came from Bob Venables. A retiring conservative Democrat, he could have done the right thing and vote yes since he will never again face the NRA’s money in an election.
They are only cowards in your eyes until you need them for the next thing you want passed for instance when Simpson voted for your Death Penalty repeal, you loved him. Its politics, get over it.
Lavelle’s eyes! The follow you.
I don’t see too many fresh faces in that group. Most have been around while. You had your chances in previous elections to notice their NRA ranking, and vote or promote accordingly.
Well, if this was your issue vote……oops!
I love how they assume nothing’s changed in terms of public perception on this issue. Conservatives don’t just oppose change, they can’t even comprehend change when it happens.
I have to speak up to defend Senator Ennis. I didn’t agree with his vote in this matter, but he is no coward, and he is not beholden anyone but his constituents. There is no doubt in my mind he voted his conscience. Question his judgment, question his wisdom, question his awareness, all, if you like, but please don’t question his integrity.
You can believe that myth if you want. Like everyone else on that list, he works just hard enough to keep his paycheck. There is no one clean in the General Assembly, and voters don’t care enough to change it.
Senator Ennis should have engaged his judgement in this vote — his conscience didn’t matter much.
And to all of those who cheered Nancy Cook’s loss in 2012, the rest of us will have to put up with Trooper Lawson for the next decade or more.
“There is no one clean in the General Assembly, and voters don’t care enough to change it.”
As ignorant an allegation as its opposite would be. If you’re too lazy to figure out the clean ones, it’s on you, not them.
“To all of those who cheered Nancy Cook’s loss in 2012, the rest of us will have to put up with Trooper Lawson for the next decade or more.”
This presumes Cook would have voted the way you would have liked here.
Also, I’d rather have someone who disagrees with me but has little power than someone who nominally agrees with me but runs everything very quietly to suit herself.
Bad legislators are preferable to bad government.
Nancy Cook was hated by everyone, everywhere. Mentioning her name is actually a Class E felony in Delaware.
