WHYY’s Election Forum In Wilmington
Last night cassandra m and I participated in the WHYY’s Election Forum held at the Delaware History Museum. I had no idea what to expect, and confess that my expectations were low. My expectations were wrong. The event was great, and, unlike the events in Middletown and Dover, heavily attended.
Christine O’Donnell: China Planning On Taking Over U.S.
Thanks, AQC, for the tip. Via The News Journal: Republican Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell said in a 2006 debate that China was plotting to take over America and claimed to have classified information about the country that she couldn’t divulge. O’Donnell’s comments came as she and two other Republican candidates debated U.S. policy on China […]
Nice House You Have There, Shame If Anything Happened To It
Via WPSD Local 6: A local neighborhood is furious after firefighters watched as an Obion County, Tennessee, home burned to the ground. The homeowner, Gene Cranick, said he offered to pay whatever it would take for firefighters to put out the flames, but was told it was too late. They wouldn’t do anything to stop […]
Campaign Music Video For Christine O’Donnell
Oh my, this is beyond bad – it’s truly painful to listen to and watch. And, yes, I watched the entire video. Also, not seeing Rock Peters ever being inducted into the Rock-N- Roll Hall of Fame. I can forgive a lot of things, but really awful music/lyrics isn’t one of them. So very, very […]
The Best Description Of The Tea Party – Ever
As usual, Matt Taibbi nails it. I’ve highlighted certain points below, but you should really read the whole article! A hall full of elderly white people in Medicare-paid scooters, railing against government spending and imagining themselves revolutionaries as they cheer on the vice-presidential puppet hand-picked by the GOP establishment. If there exists a better snapshot […]
Palin vs O’Donnell Rumor
Take this with a grain of salt, but – given the personalities involved – I’m leaning towards believing this: Sarah Palin helped Christine O’Donnell rise to Tea Party pre-eminence, but now the former Alaska governor is questioning the wisdom of her decision to help the upstart. Palin fears the sexy younger politician will steal her […]
“Republicans Are Taking Off The Mask”
Thanks to anon for the title of this post! Rand Paul clearly spells out the Republican agenda: During an interview earlier Thursday on WHAS-AM in Louisville, Paul was asked what cuts could be made to such popular programs as Medicare as the Republican spoke of the need for spending cuts across government. “You want to […]
Prop 8 Supporters Define Marriage Through Children
For all you married people without children… you don’t have a “real” marriage. Those supporters filed their first brief on Friday. In it, they argue that marriage is inherently defined by the ability of heterosexual couples to procreate. “The essential question in this case, then, is whether such unions [opposite-sex marriages] possess distinguishing characteristics that […]
Comment Rescue: Think 123 On Delaware Politics – Where Does O’Donnell Live?
While I won’t link to David Anderson’s House of Crazy, Think123 has been asking the same questions on every thread. Needless to say, he has received no answers. Notta one. Do you know where O’Donnell was born, raised, went to school? Do you know where she lives currently? What year she became a Delaware resident. […]
O’Donnell’s Questionable Campaign Spending Is Catching Up To Her
At issue are more than $20,000 of spending in 2009 and 2010 that Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington claims was illegal. For those of you dying to paint this as a partisan witch hunt (witch hunt – get it!) the group calling for the investigation is the same group that called for Rep. Charles Rangel, D-New York, to step down after allegations of ethics violations.
Don’t Forget: Jim Westhoff Deserves Support
Jim Westhoff is running for Delaware State Representative in the 35th District, and he could use our help. Jim has been endorsed by the Progressive Dems and Planned Parenthood. I spoke with Jim yesterday after receiving info on his upcoming fundraiser. Here is what he said: I’m knocking on doors every night, trying to win […]
