Industrial Park

Bunting, Jr. says the Delaware Seashore State Park is an industrial area, in an attempt to lie just enough to confuse the public. Yeah, the Inlet is like Edgemoor South, I tell you.

The Hillary Clinton Vibe

Filed in National by on March 14, 2010 13 Comments

The Castle campaign is starting to take on what I call the Hillary Clinton Vibe. The vibe happens when a campaign that is pursuing an “inevitable” strategy starts believing it is really inevitable, and that leads to sloppy work.

Equating Morality with the Checkbook

Filed in National by on March 13, 2010 27 Comments

Delaware Politics and Sussex County Angel have posts up (it is actually the same post by blogger Angel Clark) arguing for the morality of the death penalty in Delaware. But Angel Clark does not argue morality. She argues the fiscal aspect of the death penalty.

Markell Strips Down

Filed in National by on March 13, 2010 6 Comments

Governor Markell will be joining the other insane swimmers this afternoon in Rehoboth, as they all take part in the Polar Bear Plunge. I believe the Polar Bear Plunge was postponed from February due to one of the many blizzards we received this winter, so the Governor is being wise in doing it now rather […]

The New Adventures of Old Christine

Did you know that Christine O’Donnell’s 2010 campaign website is “http://christineodonnell08.reimaginehosting.com,” and it would appear, from the pictures on that site, that Charlie Copeland has endorsed her?

Booth in a Box

Booth in a Box

Booth has been running around like a chicken with its head cut off where this bill is concerned. He puts his name on a bill written by an NRA lobbyist and then is surprised that the bill overturns all gun control legislation? Really, Joe? As a Sussex County Senator, you have to wonder why Joe Booth didn’t go the Atkins route. He wouldn’t get in trouble with his constituents if he had gone all Second Amendment on our asses. So why is he dancing around?

Mike Gave Us Quarters

Filed in Delaware by on March 11, 2010 27 Comments

You will remember when I first came to Delaware Liberal, my new compatriots were kind enough to allow me to bring over a logo I used on my old blog “Daily Delaware,” the one with the Caesar Rodney quarter. I did not learn until many months later that our illustrious founder Jason330 was kind of reluctant to do that, since Mike Castle was the author of the 50 States Commemorative Coin Program Act of 1997 that created the 50 State Quarter Program, and since Jason330 was Mike Castle’s mortal enemy. I was put in mind of that after reading the latest Kavips.

Tells

Last week Glenn Beck called on his cult like followers to investigate their church’s website to see if the word “social justice” anywhere. And if they found those words, they were instructed, nee ordered to leave their churches immediately. Because he says those words are code for Nazism and Communism. Yes, that’s right. Glenn Beck […]

WDEL News Listens to Rick Jensen Too Much

WDEL, in its story on Carper’s not-shocking-at-all-to-anyone-paying attention announcement that Senate Democrats will be using reconciliation, WDEL wrote this: “Senator Carper says Democrats will be opting for a rarely used practice to push a health care reform measure through.” Rarely used??

Kaufman Takes on Too Big To Fail

Kaufman Takes on Too Big To Fail

I really wish Senator Kaufman made no Shermanesque statements upon accepting former Governor Minner’s appointment. He is experienced, passionate, more than capable, intelligent, and has served Delaware well over the last year and a half as our junior Senator. And I say that because I want Senator Kaufman to remain my Senator. I want to vote for him. Not only for what he has said today, but for what he has said and done over his tenure. Because, quite frankly, we Democrats in Delaware are not used to being represented by a someone is Congress who wants to break up big banks, regulate and hold corporations to task, and push for a public health insurance option.

Searching for that Pyrrhic Victory: O’Donnell is In.

Filed in National by on March 9, 2010 47 Comments

I thought she was already in. Regardless, Christine O’Donnell’s rumored official yet unofficial campaign to teabag her way to the Senate is now… official. She is holding a press conference tomorrow at 10:30 am in the Gold Room of the Goodstay House in Wilmington. I am sure she will have as much success as she had in 2008, or 2006, or 2004…
