Waiting for Governor Milquetoast

Filed in Delaware by on January 6, 2017

The headline on DelawareOnline read, “Carney to worried Dems: ‘Keep doing the right thing’ “. This in itself should have raised some red flags. But the article is filled wth some hopeful statements for Carney such as on fixing the not broken economy: “It’s not going to be the next big thing, but the next 50 things.” Or this: “You can’t force an addict to address their addiction, that’s the tricky part about it. But when an addict is ready to get better, we need to be sure they have a place to turn to, and that treatment is readily available.”

I mean I’m With Him.

And then this.

“I know there’s a lot of anxiety, and I understand the anxiety,” Carney said. “But we need to work across the aisle, we need to work together to make for a Delaware that we, whether on the right or left, are happy to live in. Things may be hard, and we might not agree with everything the new administration and Congress do, but if we keep doing the right thing, we’re going to be alright.”

Fuck. There he goes about working across the aisle. Jesus, I’d love him to be a Democrat for a fucking day instead of worrying about Republicans.

    “It’s not going to be the next big thing, but the next 50 things.”
    Plagiarist.
    He stole that line from Markell — the pre-Fisker, pre-PBF, pre-Bloom Markell.

    The only way to reach out to Nazis is with a closed, balled-up hand, also known as a fist.

    I wonder who Carney is supporting in the SD10 special?

    Arrggghh! Already he’s “reaching across the aisle”, as noted what would we not all give for Carney to be a real Dem for a day….. Then again that goes for the rest of them as well.

    Only way to reach republicans is to beat them into submission!!! Fuck this working across aisle bullshit!!!!

    Delaware’s economy does need fixing, they need to find $350 million by June 30th, and they can’t raise taxes and fees without one Senate Republican crossing the aisle. Two if Democrats lose the special election.
