You have to read between the lines of course.

Sign Wars: Gordon vs. Clark Rt 299 Odessa to Main Street Middletown

By jason330 July 16, 201210 Comments

Gordon holds slight edge in numbers and since he appears (based on his signs) to be running as the second coming of Barack Obama, I'll add back the points I deducted for the theft of the Obama logo. Clark sign's are a bit perfunctory in both design and placement. If you have someone putting up signs, impress on those people that the signs should be upright and facing oncoming traffic.

Romney’s Evasive Character Unfit for Presidency

By cassandra_m July 16, 201223 Comments

That is the title of this intriguing article by Robert Creamer, published over at The Democratic Strategist. In it, he details the multiple things we have learned about Romney over the past few months in an argument to show that Romney is fundamentally unfit to be President. Go read the whole thing, because it is the entire argument that is interesting, not just these key bits:

“Real” Government Accepting Sheriff Applications

Jeff Christopher needs to get together with this person.

An Iowa woman who was running for a state Senate seat has dropped that bid after deciding the U.S. government is a sham, and has instead unilaterally declared herself a U.S. Senator from the Republic of Iowa in an alternative government, the Republic for the United States of America.

Team Romney Uses Sunday Morning To Dig Deeper Holes

Oh Jeebus... If I'm a Republican i would be the mayor of face-palm city by now. Check this out:

WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney adviser Ed Gillespie said Sunday that the candidate "retired retroactively" from his job at Bain Capital, which Romney maintains that he left in 1999 despite....

Retired retroactively. wTF? These clowns can't get out of thier own way.

Clark Goes off on Delaware Way’s Nancy Willing

By Delaware Dem July 15, 201216 Comments

Paul, I understand Nancy can be a little annoying at times, but that is why we love her, because she holds politician's feet to the fire. And this reaction is just a little bit.... shall we say... unhinged.

Sunday Open Thread [7.15.12]

By Delaware Dem July 15, 201253 Comments

The Washington Post reported that Mitt Romney had turned over twenty-three years of tax returns to John McCain's vice-presidential team. Those returns covered Romney's entire Bain career, from 1984 until 2002, and also included his returns from 2002 until 2008. Obviously, McCain understood how damaging Bain could be, and he wanted to know the details of Romney's business and what income he derived from and taxes (or lack thereof) he paid on it. Romney, hungry for power, happily obliged and turned over everything. Whatever was in those returns was so god awful that McCain rejected Romney and chose Sarah Palin as the better option. Sarah. Palin.

All Apologies

While the Romney people are demanding apologies from President Obama, the Obama Truth Team send out this video that reminds us all that Romney isn't talking about issues, he is just attacking and making up stuff:

Saturday Open Thread [7.14.12]

By cassandra_m July 14, 20129 Comments

It is a nice, rainy Saturday meaning that all of our plants get watered for free for a change. It is also a busy Saturday as pretty much everyone I know in the city is knocking on doors, looking for votes for candidates. And it's Bastille Day! The closest great celebration of this is over at Fairmount Park at the Eastern Penitentiary, featuring a Marie Antoinette hauled off to the guillotine yelling, "Let them eat Tastycakes!" with thousands of Tastycakes launched off into the crowd. Fun!

Did Delaware’s Colm Connolly Run Interference For Romney and Bain Illegalities?

By El Somnambulo July 14, 201258 Comments

8-Ball sez: "Signs Point to Yes". Now pay attention, kids, this is complicated, as many crimes involving money, corporatese, and coverups are. First, read this article by DailyKos' Stephen Laser Haas. In it, he lays out the massive fraud that Bain got entangled in during 2001. Massive fraud that Romney's law firm at the time, the New York-based law firm, Traub, Bonacquist & Fox, has now admitted guilt for. As most of you know, there is always a Delaware-based law firm engaged in any Delaware litigation. That law firm in the Bain/e-toys matter was Morris, Nichols, Arsht and Tunnell.

The Most Devastating Ad Ever Produced.

By Delaware Dem July 14, 201258 Comments

If you are a political history junkie, then you will understand when I say that this ad will rank up there with Daisy, the Bear in the Woods, and the Willie Horton ad as the most devastating political ads. The message in this ad is so simple it is amazing. This Obama campaign is good at politics. Very good.
