So apparently the Delaware GOP is on the same path as the rest of their party and publicly get in bed with these teabaggers. The teabaggers are having their annual…

GOP Donors Are Suckers

If Republican donors were mad about the Palin family clothes grab on donor's dimes, I wonder how they'll feel about this: The Daily Caller examines the Republican National Committee's FEC…

In Which We Find the Local GOP Bamboozling Again About Budget Discipline

By cassandra_m March 29, 20109 Comments

Today's installment of GOP bamboozlement comes via the News Journal, where they are now trying to convince people that they want to constrain government spending. You should read the whole thing, but I'm not so sure who this convinces:

Sunday Afternoon Reading

By cassandra_m March 28, 2010

The Party of Cruelty was written by James Howard Kunstler last week after the HCR was almost a week ago, but I just saw it yesterday. It is a long read, but a truly excellent retort to the apocalyptic fear and loathing ramped up by repubs -- not just during the process, but also afterwards. Fear and loathing that is now being expressed in physical threats and in property destruction aimed against lawmakers who voted for this. Make sure you go over there to read the entire thing:

Radio Ad — Call Mike Castle Hands Off Our Healthcare!

By cassandra_m March 27, 20105 Comments

I heard this ad during Al Mascitti's show this AM -- it is a good reminder that Mike Castle is spending his days in DC voting for the interests of his party and for those of various lobbyists. Click through for the ad.

Mike Castle’s HCR Response — The Unbelievable Lameness of Faux Moderation

By cassandra_m March 22, 201022 Comments

As xstryker noted last night, Mike Castle definitely voted no for HCR and its reconciliation bill. Castle's office put out a press statement on last night's historic vote, that should be read in it's entirety to fully comprehend how badly he is managing to maintain any moderate cred while marching lockstep with his party. But let's take a look at a few things here:

Cap and Trade is Not a Tax; or Why Delmarva Dealings Failed His Economics Class

Because in spite of this attempt to invoke this appeal to the authority of a basic economics class (which this person Cato has clearly never had), just claiming that TAXES…

Christine O’Donnell Announces — A Good Look at the Hypocrisy Train

By cassandra_m March 11, 201039 Comments

So have you had a chance to see this announcement? (Link opens up to WDEL video.) It is completely choice: nonstop wingnut dog whistles and none of it made any sense.
