DelawareLiberal.Net: Another Dispatch From The GOP Braintrust

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:21:05 -0500

This is probably what you would consider a classic political gaffe: It’s been a couple of weeks since the RNC’s Michael Steele said something foolish and had to walk it back, so I suppose we were due for another gem. Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Michael Steele, who is known for making [...]

Delaware Libertarian: And, as usual, the Libertarian Party will miss this boat as well

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:27:00 -0500

Thanks to the underlying homophobia evidenced by the likes of Bob Barr and Wayne Root (both of whom conveniently believe that States have rights when it comes to policies like same-sex marriage), the Libertarian Party is missing its opportunity to pick up the undying loyalty of one of the most [...]

TommyWonk: NRG and Bluewater: Is There a Catch?

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:05:00 -0500

Could this be a trick or a ploy? Could NRG have bought Bluewater Wind to somehow control the growth of windpower? Could NRG have bought the windpower football just to pull it away from Charlie Brown?
I don't think so. NRG VP Drew Murphy yesterday repeatedly' [...]

Delaware Way: Claiming Obama Could Have Drawn GOP Stimulus Votes With Tax Relief, FOX News Conveniently Forgets That A Third Of The Stimulus Was Tax Relief?

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:50:00 -0500

When is enough enough? The Republican's admitted 2010 strategy is to deny Obama the least success. When will the White House and DEM majority stop watering down policy to appease the GOP? Reportedly, Larry Summers fought against major infrastructure spending in favor of the tax give-aways that have seemingly not [...]

DelawareLiberal.Net: Advice For Blanche Lincoln: Go Big Or Go Home

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:15:44 -0500

Blanche Lincoln is one of the worst weak-kneed ConservaDems in the Senate. She’s voted against the public option and seems to be following the losing Creigh Deeds strategy – pretend to be a Republican. Why would people vote for a Democrat if they want a Republican? Steve Benen has similar [...]

The results of the referenda in liberal Washington and Maine would suggest so. Marriage is more popular than limiting government spending. Civil Unions bearly squeaked by in WA and Traditional Marriage won in Maine. President Obama is not hesitant to take propose a four fold increase in the deficit, [...]

And I agree. In fact, quite a few of us have been saying almost exactly the same thing. The key thing to understand about that rally is that it wasn’t a fringe event. It was sponsored by the House Republican leadership — in fact, it was officially billed as a G.O.P. [...]

I am sure that the Quaker school took this message from the Westboro Baptist Church directly to heart: “Quakers?! Are you frigging [...]
