John Carney Capitulates On His Democratic Principles, If He Ever Had Any

32 Comments
John Carney, ladies and gentlemen, YOUR Democratic Congressman. You know what John Carney did yesterday? He literally signed away the principles upon which the Democratic Party has been built. Principles that have served working families, the poor, the elderly, and the middle class for over 80 years.

How did he do this? He signed a letter along with 60 Democrats and 40 Republicans to the so-called bipartisan 'Super Committee'.

We received a tip this evening that there was some sort of physical altercation at County Council between Councilman Vance Phillips and Sheriff Jeff Christopher. Georgetown Police were called to the County Council Building by the sheriff. The matter is under investigation by the police and no arrests have been made at this time. Note that during this altercation, one of the people was armed (guess who?).

Kevin Kelley’s Cardinals

Many in this area, if not the overwhelming majority of Mr. Kelley's constituents, are Phillies fans. So that was kinda a dick move on his part for him to stomp over the hearts of still mourning Phillies fans. So tonight or tomorrow, when the St. Louis Cardinals lose the World Series, I call on Mr. Kelley to stand up in the council chambers and congratulate the Texas Rangers, while wearing a Phillies hat. Of course, I probably just jinxed the Rangers, and now the Cardinals will win and then Kelley can stand up again for the Cardinals.

"We'll repeal Obamacare and get rid any idea that you have to have abortion coverage or contraceptive coverage. One of the things that I will talk about that no president has talked about before is I think the dangers of contraception in this country, the sexual liberty idea and many in the Christian faith have said, you know contraception is OK. It's not OK because it's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be," - Rick Santorum, taking the Christianist war against individual freedom back to contraception.

Let’s start with the announcement rollout on Monday by Charles Potter and Dennis Williams – as I noted in my Sunday post, the Williams announcement was expected sometime this week. Yet Monday afternoon, Potter sends an email to his list declaring for Williams’ Representative seat, clearly catching Williams off-guard (see Esteban Parra’s article here).

Oh Christine. Pay your bills for once, will you?

The News Journal will be reporting tomorrow on a lawsuit that was filed last week by Christine O'Donnell seeking a declaratory judgment concerning her dispute with Jonathan Moseley, a former campaign worker on several of her previous campaigns. In a post on its Facebook page, the News Journal says Moseley, who is an attorney in Virginia, has demanded $18,250 for work and expenses he incurred this year and in 2008 in her race against Joe Biden for the Senate. Oh, but there is so much more to the story.... check inside.
