Weekend Open Thread
“It was a wrong-headed move, made for all the wrong reasons, but it was mine.” — Failed U.S. Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell (R), writing in Troublemaker that her now infamous “I am not a witch” campaign commercial was a disaster.
I had read earlier in the week somewhere that she passed the buck on that ad, saying that it was not her decision. I guess we are all going to have to go to Ken Grant’s dramatic reading at the Brandywine Brewing Company to find out….
Ken Grant and the rest of the Greenville GOP created COD. I find it endlessly humorous that Grant now feels that nurturing the crazy was a mistake.
The mea culpa boosts her self-image that “I coulda’ been a contenda.'” She was never a contender; just a side show.
Rehoboth voters reject mayoral candidate who got into the race because his brother got a ticket for riding his bike at night without a light.
Phil, that is not why Tom McGlone got into the race for mayor. Wow, you really come up with some bullshit sometimes, but this one ranks right up there.
” …it wasn’t until late last summer that he started getting involved in the city’s politics… It was also last summer that his brother, who came to visit from New Jersey, had an unpleasant run-in with a Rehoboth Police officer while riding his bike home from a restaurant… McGlone would like to adopt a “customer-service” model, in which the city would work to satisfy all its customers, meaning the businesses, residents and tourists”
PLOW!
Jason, you keep claiming I had something to do with “creating” COD – please explain.
For the record, I have never supported Ms. O’Donnell in any way, shape, or form. I have never voted for Ms. O’Donnell, I have never worked with Ms. O’Donnell’s staff, I have never worked with, encouraged, or said anything supportive of Ms. O’Donnell. I don’t believe I’ve ever even talked with Ms. O’Donnell.
Jason, if you’ve got anything to say to challenge any of that, please let me know – otherwise I would appreciate it if you would stop lying.
Thanks.
Oh this is rich. George W. Bush supporter, Ken Grant, wants to pretend he has clean hands. I guess if you want to play lawyer-ball you can claim some distance between you and your monstrous creation. Whatever gets you thought the night.
Just don’t ask those of us who were aware of he DE GOP’s strategy since Clinton to buy your sanctimonious Pontius Pilatus routine though.
Have fun at your history denying hoedown.
🙂
Jason, you are why I always come back to DL.
Phil, have you ever spoken with Tom to find out why he ran for mayor? Obviously not. Your basing you bullshit claim on one sentence from an unreferenced quote. Tom did not even mention his brother during any of the debates or forums or in any of his literature.
Plow right back at you, asshat.
Your comment is not PLOW! worthy, sorry.
Jason, you have yet to share a single bit of evidence to support your allegations – what was my role? How did I “create” Ms. O’Donnell? Please share.
Ken Grant had as much to do with creating COD as Mike Castle did in creating COD. Just being a Republican and voting for Bush does not mean someone “created” her.
I think Jason is going for a guilt-by-association thing. There is some moral truth there but not necessarily a literal truth.
The Tea Party and Christine O’Donnell did not come out of nowhere. The Tea Party represents the logical extension of mainstream Republican rhetoric.
Mainstream Republicans accepted these kooks into their party for a very long time, and worked with them, took their money and their votes, and encouraged them behind the scenes. They allowed their extremist viewpoints to poison the GOP nomination process, catering to them in primaries.
The kooky Tea viewpoint has been bubbling along for decades in wingnut PACs, think tanks, and extremist social conservative groups. Mainstream Republicans had every opportunity to confront and renounce these freaks, but did not begin to do so until they became a liability, around 2006.
So kudos to any Repub who got off the crazy train. May you be followed by many more.
Phil, you still haven’t provided a link to your supposed quote. That’s why it’s bullshit (like most other things you post on here).
And I believe you know where you can stick your plow.
No, MJ, he just mentioned that anecdote in an interview with WGMD, broadcast to thousands of residents. Excerpt here. Be sure to click on the audio.

PLOW!
Obviously you either didn’t listen to the audio or you heard something entirely different. He doesn’t say anywhere in that 21 second clip that he’s running for mayor because his brother got a ticket for not having a light on his bike.
Just more bullshit from Phil and now an anon.
And Phil, I heard there’s some extra room in your arsehole for your head.
I’m just saying I wouldn’t use a financial advisor who recklessly wastes so much of his own money on crazy longshot schemes.
Not to mention his failed health food business…
So you’d support a slum landlord over someone who’s at least trying to be successful? And he wasn’t soliciting for clients.
What’s your next excuse going to be?
MJ – No need to get huffy. Your guy lost resoundingly. Sorry about that.
Please present proof that Sam Cooper is a slum landlord.
Go search the property records at the Sussex County Recorder of Deeds, as I did, anon (after reading an article in 2009 about West Rehoboth). Those slum mobile homes, many without sewer hook-ups or hot water, are owned by Catts, Cooper, and Burton.
Cooper claims he doesn’t want to see RB turn into a “party town,” yet he turns a blind eye and a deaf ear to the noise coming from Conch Island every night. Oh wait, that’s owned by one of the Five Families, who support Cooper. Gee, what was I thinking?
God has made another prank call, this one to Rick Perry.
God has an awesome sense of humor.
MJ – The property records do not include the condition of a dwelling or whether one has hot water. Did you drive by the two parcels of land Sam Cooper owns in that area, inspect the conditions of any homes located there and ask the residents about whether they have hot water? How do you know that they are “slum mobile homes”?
