Clatworthy Comes A Calling

Filed in Delaware by on October 22, 2008 5 Comments

I remember like it was yesterday when Dave Burris said that John Clatworthy could be using FLS Connect for something other than Robo Calls. Four days later my phone rings from the Republican State Committee of Delaware (302-651-0260) with a John Clatworthy robo call. The robo call was from “your State Representative Deborah Hudson” though this might […]

Palin thinks God is a Republican. Palin said the campaign had to have faith that its message will be heard “minus the filter of the mainstream media.” “That filter has to be erased,” she said. “So we have to have faith in the wisdom of the people that they’ll understand what our message is. But […]

McCain Accidentally Tells the Truth.

Filed in National by on October 22, 2008 8 Comments

This is just hillarious.  Of course, McCain is counting on the racism of rednecks to win.   Recently, Rep. Jack Murtha (D), on two occassions, said his constituents are racists or rednecks.  Whether they are or not, that is something you don’t want to say about your own voters two weeks before an election.   Hopefully they […]

Al Queda Endorses McCain.

Filed in National by on October 22, 2008 8 Comments

Seriously.   This isn’t an Onion piece.  This isn’t my own personal opinion.   Al-Qaida supporters suggested in a Web site message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a way to usher in a McCain presidency. The message, posted Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah Web site, said if al-Qaida wants […]

Projection

Joe Klein hits it out of the park today. Anyone who talks about the “pro-American” parts of the country is making an anti-American statement. Anyone who talks about the “real” parts of Virginia doesn’t understand that all of Virginia is real–just not the reality as fantasized by the sort of people who see some parts […]

The Circadian Clatworthy Post

Filed in Delaware by on October 22, 2008 11 Comments

Tommywonk wrote yesterday about Clatworthy’s negative campaigning: I don’t think I’m too sensitive when it comes to rugged campaigning. But while I’m well versed in the none-too-gentle art of city politics, I don’t remember learning that you can just make stuff up. In the campaign for the 4th Senate district, Republican John Clatworthy seems comfortable […]

Charlie and the Negativity Factory

Check out Tommywonk for his post about Copeland’s false claims in starting the Challenge Program. Charlie Copeland has made his role in the program a centerpiece of his campaign, particularly in the City of Wilmington. If Copeland said he simply led the program, I would not give the matter any thought. But his claim to […]

UPDATED: Open Letter To Allan Loudell

Filed in Delaware by on October 22, 2008 16 Comments

UPDATE: Allan responded to my assholery and I don’t know how to respond to the response because he is such a fricking decent human being. (Damn you Loudell!) It occurs to me that when I call out media types like Allan I don’t think that I’m calling out actual humans but a corrupt system. And […]
