Vicmead Cancelled – DEGOP more lost at sea than that fisherman who washed up in the Marshall Islands
Charlie Copeland really couldn’t stand the idea of raising a glass of champagne and toasting the candidacy of Rose Izzo. I don’t blame him. Why give third tier R’s your honestly inherited money so they can blow it on rent? The nerve of these people….
But seriously folks, Celia is in love with the complete clusterfuckitude of the DEGOP (after the way they treated the sainted Michael Castle, they deserve 30… no 300 years in the wilderness.)
EARLY LINE 2014
Posted: Feb. 4, 2014
The Delaware Republicans canceled Vicmead, their signature fund-raising event. They co-opted they own endorsing convention by putting it off until after the primary.
Would that the Republicans could dispose of Election Day, too. Their statewide ticket looks like abandoned property.
They have nobody to take on the all-incumbent top of the Democratic slate of Chris Coons for senator, John Carney for congressman and Beau Biden for attorney general.
Not to forget there are 123,000 more Democratic than Republican voters. Also the last time the Republicans elected someone new to statewide office was 1994. That was 20 years ago.
Still, the Republicans have to start somewhere, and it probably ought to be by observing the iron rule of politics. You can’t beat somebody with nobody.
Not to worry fellow citizens! We have that bastion of conservatism, and hero for the ages Sheriff Christopher to save the flag for the Republican Party! Or… maybe not.
I’m not sad that “the conservative of the year” is the new face of the DEGOP.
What kind of name is Vicmead anyway? Place sounds like a dump.
Vicmead Hunt Club is in Centerville.
Who are the three people depicted in the Tornoe cartoon?
All them endangered foie gras can fatten themselves without fear now.
Thanks, Tom McKenney. What do they hunt for?
Peasants. Err, pheasants.
How come Republicans are the incompetent party in Delaware, while Democrats are the hapless morons in Pennsylvania, just a stone’s throw away?
History? Anomaly? Plague?
Wrenfield, who do you think brought PA such gems as the voter id law that was struck down by the courts, vaginal ultrasounds before abortion, funding cuts to individuals with significant disabilities, and, of course, refusal to participate in ACA so millions of residents still can’t afford healthcare. Oh, and don’t forget our dear R governor who likened gay marriage to bestiality or, upon rethinking, marrying your sibling. I would contend that it is the republicans in PA who have demonstrated the weakness of mind to which you refer.
@Nuttingham —— Yeah, I thought they may be looking for some turkeys.
@FBH: Oh, the quaint peasantry. “The hunt” is for foxes. Or, as Oscar Wilde put it, “the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable.”
Tip of the hat to the boys at the vicmead hunting club for doing their part. The chicken farmers owe them a debt of gratitude.
@FBH: I said they hunt them. I think it’s been about 75 years since they actually caught one.
Well, you have to admire their persistence.
