Clintonite Dems, Stop killing America

I don't dislike Clinton zealots and "centrist" Dems personally. Some of them are very nice people. Tom Carper one on one? Class guy. First rate. Mat Marshall? The best. What I don't like are people wedded to a political philosophy that has such a long track record of abject failure. By luck and design we live in a two party system, and the radical modern Republican Party in America needs a legitimate counterweight. The Party of John Carney and Hillary Clinton is not that acting as that counterweight. If mushy, "third way", middle of the road, compromise first and bi-partiisanship above all actually WORKED, I'd love it. Other than for the election of Bill Cinton, WHEN HAS IT EVER WORKED? Your endless appetite for appeasement is leaving Republicans to run roughshod over American norms and values that have served us well for over 240 years. Just stop it. Stop killing America. Dustyn Thompson and Eric Morrison wrote a guest post at Blue Delaware which deals with this topic more diplomatically than I could have.

Can Delaware Liberals theoretically raise $50,000 for a primary challenger to John Carney?

It is a simple question. Based his track record so far, can we get 100 Delaware liberals and progressives to pledge $500.00 each? Money talks. I'm in, so the goal is now 99 Delaware liberals and progressives on the record pledging $500.00 each to signal their disgust with this travesty of a budget and the terrible "leadership" that foisted it on this state. Say yes or no in the comments, and if we get to $50,000 in pledges we'll go on to phase 2 - setting up a fundraising page and start turning those pledges into real money thereby giving some qualified candidate a running start at challenging Carney.

White House Poised to Really Fuck Shit Up

Kellyanne Conway has confirmed that the White House is willing to repeal the ACA without a replacement in place. I'm no economist, but I am a dyed in the wool capitalist, and this plan smells like a recipie for economic disaster. And yet, this should not come as a surprise to anyone. Remember that fucking shit up is what Republicans believe they were elected to do.

Tim Dukes is an idiot

IMG_2109 Far be it for me to crap on someone who doesn't know the difference between "past" and "passed" they probably don't spend too much time on book learnin' where Dukes went to school. And lord knows I've made my fair share of typos. Just read past beyond that and drink in the stupidity and see how happy Gov Carney has made the "all taxes (other than taxes on poor people) are evil crowd".
