Parties and Primaries.

Filed in National by on July 24, 2008 57 Comments

By now, we all know about the Delaware Democratic Party funding an ad lauding Carney and DeLuca as the true heros in the Bluewater Wind deal.   In essence, the Party paid for a campaign ad for John Carney. I strongly oppose the Party’s actions here, but to me, it was to be expected. When the […]

I read DelawarePolitics.net so you don’t have to. Christian Hudson: Palestinians are good guys, because Obama said something nice about Israel. When he says something bad about Israel, Palestinians will go back to being terrorists. David Anderson: Obama doesn’t care about the troops because he cancelled a visit to Rammstein. Had he made the trip […]

Today, Obama was in Germany giving a speech in Berlin.  John McCain had a meeting in a German restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. This is where my expertise is going to pay off.  I have actually been to both of these places.  In fact, I suggested Schmidt’s Sausage Haus in January.  They have some pretty good […]

Ok, so the wife and I are wanting to go see this game.  It is a pretty historic game I might add.  Md is consistently ranked in the top 25 nationally year in and year out.  Anyone know of bus groups forming up?  Anyone going?  contact me if you do….

Markell Campaign Responds To DEL DEM Misuse of Party Funds For Carney’s Dishonest WDEL AD

Filed in National by on July 24, 2008 45 Comments

It’s just wrong. John Carney has started running radio ads promoting his record, but instead of using his own campaign to pay for the ads, he’s using money from the Delaware Democratic Party to do it.

DEMS WDEL AD FOR CARNEY CALLS FOR HIS SAINTHOOD

Filed in National by on July 24, 2008 28 Comments

I’m trying to get my head around this radio ad that the DELAWARE STATE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE is running on WDEL. It seems John Carney and Tony DeLuca are 100% responsible from making the Blue Water Wind Deal happen and are single handed bringing “thousands” of jobs to Delaware. (Huh?) How much more juice is Carney […]

Bi-Partisan Screw Up of The Century: Free Wars

Filed in National by on July 24, 2008 5 Comments

Atrios makes a good point: I’ll leave semantic discussions to others, but lost in all of this discussion is the cost of the surge. Wars have become free, with neither the dollar cost nor cost in lives subject for polite conversation anymore. The troop escalation was announced in January of 2007. Since that time over […]
