More good news – Rove injured the golden goose, and killed his reputation

6 Comments
Ignoring the ground game in favor of burning $390 million on TV ads may not have exhausted the resources of wingnut fat cats, but it has ruined the reputation of alleged genius, Karl Rove.
"The billionaire donors I hear are livid," one Republican operative told The Huffington Post. "There is some holy hell to pay. Karl Rove has a lot of explaining to do … I don't know how you tell your donors that we spent $390 million and got nothing."

GOPers get such boners for the tough talk, that this kind of thing could very well keep him out of hot water with the loons.
There can be no doubt that, compared to 2 years ago, the Delaware Republican Party is focused, unified, and committed to serving as an active opposition party, raising the red flag and sounding the alarm each time there is an attempt to tax, borrow, and spend away Delaware's future. We are placing Governor Jack Markell and the Democrats in the legislature on notice, "You are being watched and the Republican Party will ensure that you are held accountable by the press and the people of Delaware."
What a joke.

1) Allow all the Bush tax cuts to expire. 2) Reinstate the middle class tax cuts separately as the "Obama tax cuts" 3) If blocked by GOP house, vote them out in 2014. 4) If not blocked by GOP house members, vote them out in 2014 anyway.

I don't expect DC-bubble-dwelling-incumbent Democratic-shitheads like Tom Carper to ever get it, but pretending to be a Republican is unpopular among voters - while pretending to be a Democrat is popular. The proof is all around us. Even this Presidential election confirms it.

“Sparks Fly at Debate”

That's the Delaware state News Headline. The News Journal saw fur flying. Anyway, something was flying. (Sparkly fur?!?!) Here is the News Journal's Jonathan Starkey (mostly paraphrased by yous truly): DOVER — Sen. Tom Carper was double teamed by wack-jobs. Kevin Wade, a teabag, accused Carper of not reading the Affordable Care Act, and basically being a lazy douche. Carper conceded the point on a technicality. “On the [Senate] Finance committee, (a place you will never see) we work off of plain English language,”

Open Thread – Delaware “Survivor” contestant didn’t survive long enough to annoy the sh*t out of me with her vocal fry

After a few weeks of zero face time, Delaware's "Katie" washed out of survivor, not with a bang - but a whimper. After enduring a little smack talk from Jeff Probst during the elimination challenge, "Katie, completely ineffective in this challenge.” she was bounced at the tribal council. If you substitute the word "show" for challenge in Probst' statement you get a little closer to the truth.

Comment Rescue – Denn would be a kick ass Governor

The headline is a paraphrase from a comment down below. But, I think we can all agree, Matt Denn is a Democrat's Democrat. He'll make a hell of a Governor if he wants to take that step. In the meantime he just goes around quietly kicking ass and making people remember what government should be all about. Here is a recent youtube ad he recently put out on work he's done helping families with special needs kids.
