We elected him to be not only to be a voice of reason, but also to be a fighter for Delaware citizens rather than Delaware corporations. We will be watching, hoping our wishes are fulfilled.

By Delaware Dem November 15, 201031 Comments

I am not surprised that Delaware's Teabaggers have not learned their lesson, since they have extremely low IQs to begin and thus their learning ability is put into serious question. Regardless, our local teabaggers have produced an automated push poll from "Founder's Values," a local outfit that employs local teabagging criminal Evan Queitsch.

Seriously -- they are actually PAYING money for their bullshit. And the new bullshit is today's amateurish hand-wringing about Delaware's debt situation and how apparently this is supposed to be a sword of Damocles for state Democrats by the CRI's resident economist. An economist who apparently aspires to be the local version of the Laffer curve guy.

And either she doesn't support the NOH8 campaign, and is okay with treating the LGBT community as second class citizens, or there's some major dysfunction in the McCain marriage.
