		<description>First and foremost Hocker is a sociopath.  And I just love the comments by post #21, reality check; right on.  And unfortunately, he got re-elected which means that  there are alot of rotting-teeth rednecks who support his stupid nitwit.  
I got news for you dummies who voted for him ... you are dumbass redneck truck driving nitwits.  Smile, lets see your teefums.  I hope yall didn&#039;t procreate ... is it just me or has anyone else noticed that there&#039;s a unusally large population of handicapped rotting toothless people around here who look like they&#039;ve had sex with a close relative?  It&#039;s creepy, Hocker.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know Ms. Evans, but I do respect her work. On the other hand, anyone with an ounce of integrity would have already &quot;quit&quot; a job that silences its employees for ad dollars or political allegiances. Says a lot of the radio stationss true motives and agenda. I wonder what they would say if it happened at Air America? or the nightly news?</description>

		<description>Yes, looks like GMD made Maria Evans shut up.  That is wrong.

No.  It isn&#039;t WGOP.  Some hosts actually use their brains and take a fair approach to topics, do you even listen to the station or simply disparage without evidence or on here say?   Try really listening to Michael Savage for a few nights.

Randy Nelson probably would not win against Hocker and he was not fired from the station, he quit.</description>

		<description>Must be very embarassing for that radio station to be so beholden to a political leader. I guess the succeeded in shutting up one of their on air people. So much for freedom of the press and free speech. For the right,  free speech is only if they agree with you. Just like less government, except when we want to spy on you.</description>

		<description>Nelson can beat Hocker and Hocker knows it. Nelson is everything Hocker is not, bright, intelligent, articulate and honest. He&#039;s not part of the good ole boy Sussex County clan with rotting teeth driving around in pick-up trucks. Hocker is scared of him, that&#039;s why he&#039;s working with GMD who has their own motives. All they care about is money with their chessey shows and dumbed down audience. The public knows what Hocker&#039;s is doing. The more he tries to lie, the more it becomes obvious. The public is tired of people like Hocker keeping the public down.</description>

		<description>Maybe Hocker can give a speech on how to stop new business from coming to Delaware. Just follow his example of crushing new enterprise. I imagine they really want that wind power deal to go to Connectiv. Keep it in the incestuous family. Make sure you get your kickbacks and political donations. And make sure you can charge whatever you like instead of a fixed long term price. &quot;If it doesn&#039;t burn and pollute, it doesn&#039;t earn.&quot; Gary Stockbridge</description>

		<description>Anybody get the feeling Maria Evans might suffer the same fate as Mr. Nelson. She&#039;s bucking the system. Not playing the corporate, money game.  Supporting wind over Delmarva Power. OUTRAGEOUS!</description>

		<description>Good point Al.  I think a restoration of the dollar is possible, just not with the big three in play today.  And maybe not with the big two parties either.  The Republicans have lost all fiscal legitimacy and the Democrats are not even going there.</description>

		<description>No, we haven&#039;t. But unless you know of somebody&#039;s plan to raise revenues and cut spending so we don&#039;t have to borrow tens of billions of dollars to make ends meet, it won&#039;t recover anytime soon. In other words, Plan B isn&#039;t just for backup anymore.</description>

		<description>Dogless claims, &quot;At least half of the increase in the price of oil and gas is a result of our weak dollar. Fix that and the price will drop like a stone.&quot;

Right. That&#039;ll be a cinch. While we&#039;re at it, almost all  the fuel your car uses is employed overcoming the laws of physics. Find a way around them and our problems will melt like -- oh, like Dogless&#039; brain on a warm day.</description>

		<description>Hocker is a big GMD advertiser.  He probably threatened to pull his ads if they didn&#039;t kiss his ass.  Isn&#039;t that extortion?  Meanwhile Hocker gets to play both sides of the fence so he can kill the wind farm and then talk about how much he wanted it.  

Randy Nelson should run against him.  Hocker&#039;s never had to seriously defend his seat and it would be great to see Hocker implode in a debate. Hocker can&#039;t have DP&amp;L debate for him, they can only write his blog posts.</description>

		<description>Good work liberalgeek and Peter Rabbit.  Hocker has been caught in a series of lies and misstatements, as clearly demonstrated here.  

To get the BWW contract approved by the General Assembly, there are bigger foes than Hocker standing in the way, like McDowell and Adams.  The bunch of them are doing DP&amp;L ratepayers and our state a great disservice.

Incidentally, WGMD radio has been inundated by DP&amp;L messages containing misstatements of fact similar to what we see in Hocker&#039;s piece.  Therefore it is even more noteworthy and cowardly that WGMD has opted to cut off comments to Hocker&#039;s piece on their forum.

Too often the politics in this state stink, and this is one more glaring example!!!</description>
