It’s official – Charlie Copeland is a piece of shit

I have wrestled with what to think about Charlie Copeland. Some people that I like and respect say he is a decent guy in a tough spot, just trying to do his best. He comes from a decent philanthropic family, and his own father was instrumental in establishing Planned Parenthood in Delaware. And then I get this is my mailbox, and it reveals the truth about what kind of person Charlie Copeland really is.

Charlie Copeland still “fully supports” Donald Trump for President

Charlie Copeland still “fully supports” Donald Trump for President

After the first Presidential debate on September 26th, Charlie Copeland released a statement saying that Donald Trump won the debate with a performance that made it clear that he should be supported by Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike.

Since that time Trump has revealed the fact that he is a serial sexual predator who feels that his celebrity status gives him the freedom to grab women “by the pussy.” He has supported Russian geopolitical aims, and taken election aid directly from the Kremlin, and last night Trump said that he will keep the country “in suspense” over the question of whether or not the peaceful transfer of power will continue in American.

And yet Charlie Copeland still fully supports Donald Trump for President. That is appalling. It is one thing for Charlie Copeland to have political differences with Democrats, but to fully support a candidate that is attacking a vital tenant of our system, the notion that election results are honored and accepted by winners and losers alike, that is simply appalling.

Markell Raises an Impressive $1.4 Million

and Charlie Copeland is either bitter or jealous enough to throw his own Republican gubernatorial candidate under the bus..

Former state Sen. Charlie Copeland, one of the governor’s chief Republican critics, said Markell’s $1.4 million is more than enough to win a gubernatorial race in Delaware. “I think anytime he leaves the state, he’s having a fundraiser,” said Copeland, who is supporting [little known Brandywine business man Jeff] Cragg. “Why are all of these people out-of-state giving him this money he’s not going to need this year?”

I am suprised Charlie had to ask the question, but in so doing, he made a glaring admission.

Psst! Your Shallow Bench is Showing

Potential Republican Congressional candidate, Anthony Wedo dropped out of the race Friday.  I believe that this leaves only Fred Cullis, the guy who had a half dozen people (mostly family and volunteers) at his announcement.  They really have no one. I asked Charlie Copeland if he was running and he was pretty clear that he […]

He Was FOR Tough Environmental Regulation Before He Was Against Tough Environmental Regulation

He Was FOR Tough Environmental Regulation Before He Was Against Tough Environmental Regulation

Of course, taking on the “Overregulation” mantra in the wake of Valero closing is largely about an opportunity to push another piece of ideology — one not especially connected to reality. Given that plant’s problems, exemptions and fairly weak enforcement it isn’t as though the State hasn’t been bending over backwards to give Valero the benefit of the doubt. Listen closely to the estimates of possibly cleaning up that plant, think about who will be on the hook for it and then ask yourself if “Overregulation” would have had that result.

I was looking at my email the other day and a web ad appeared on the page for the Delaware GOP.  I know they get charged if I click on it and I wanted to see what they are up to, so I clicked.  It took me to their Stop the Biden Dynasty page, where […]

DE Rethugs Prove the Obvious: All About Politics, Not Responsible Governing

Filed in National by on November 9, 2009 15 Comments

Someday soon, a smoking gun of a document will surface. Possibly penned by Frank Luntz, Eye of Newt Gingrich, or some other Rethuglican ‘thinker’. The document will confirm what should already be obvious. At every level of government, the Rethug strategy is to delay and seek to stop anything of value from moving forward. They […]

My Take On the Carney vs. Fill-In-the-Blank Congressional Race

Filed in National by on October 13, 2009 7 Comments

Yesterday, the News-Journal’s Ginger Gibson wrote that the upcoming race to fill Metamucil Mike’s Oxford loafers would “guarantee(s) the  first real contest in decades” for Delaware’s lone and lonely congressional seat. University of Delaware political science professor Joe Pika, who really should know better, said: “It’s likely to be a true campaign for the first […]
