Thursday Open Thread
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) told Fox News that Republicans face a tough choice on President Obama’s jobs bill: “If we vote for this plan, we’ll own the economy with the president, and he desperately needs someone else to blame it on. If we vote against it, he’s going to try to say Congress blocked his ability to create jobs.”
Sounds about right.
Carper Needs Some Talking To.
Carper is doing his best to sound like a Republican again. Tell Senator Carper to support the President and vote for the America Jobs Act today. Tell him that Democrats support creating jobs and protecting Social Security and Medicare, not sacrificing both to protect the tax cuts of the rich.

Tuesday Open Thread
So what were your thoughts on the Teabagging debate last night? I can never bare to watch, so I followed the reaction on several blogs I follow and on Twitter. Besides Santorum’s Freudian slip, the most outrageous, disgusting and revealing moment of the evening was conservative crowd cheering the death of the elderly uninsured. Now, the Republican position on healthcare has always been that if you can’t afford health insurance, then it sucks to be you. Now that has evolved to cheering for the deaths of the uninsured.
Dover City Proposal affecting Employee speech defeated.
Dover city committee rejected a proposal that would prohibit city employees from making any negative comments about individuals or groups based on race, gender or other legally protected characteristics on social media websites, blogs or other online forums, including Facebook, Twitter and other online social media networks, no matter if they were on or off duty.
Wagner classifies efforts to get him to do his job “frivolous.”
Some months ago, Richard Korn, the former Democratic nominee for Auditor, filed suit against state Auditor Tom Wagner, alleging that Wagner was violating a state law that requires the auditor to review school district budgets annually and has been doing so since changing the audit procedures in 2002. However, a Chancery Court judge has dismissed the suit, ruling that the Chancery Court did not have jurisdiction to hear the case, and that the Superior Court would be the proper venue.
With so many debates… sooner or later….
…the GOP’s innate racism would shine through… Rick Santorum on the GOP attracting Latino votes:
“What what Gov. Perry has done is he provided in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, maybe that was an attempt to attract illegal vote — I mean Latino — voters,” Santorum said.
Sorry about that….
I think it might have been a first, but yesterday Delaware Liberal had no new posts. No, it was not an extended moment of silence for the 10th year anniversary of 9/11. It was just a mix up of schedules. Our apologies. Now back to politics….
