Republicans have been slammed lately.
Nothing is going right for them. You say the name of their party and the room you’re in erupts with laughter.
They have become the butt of all jokes.
“Say, did you hear about the Republican who had a case of diarrhea?” ” No?” “He got sick after drinking the twelfth bottle….”
Remember that guy who held up the entire class because he was so stupid, and it pissed you off so much you just wanted to slam his face into a wall?
Well, that is the Republican party today…
Every one who calls himself a Republican should bend over and prepare to get kicked unmercifully.
But guess what?
There is someone worse… and they actually call themselves Democrats.
Mr. Pam Scott, president of New Castle County and District 3 Councilman George Smiley, both guilty of selling out their constituents to developers, are far worse.
Read Down With Absolutes factual account of Tuesday’s Council Meeting, and join me in wishing to slam some Councilpersons faces into the New Castle County Chambers wall.
1) This was stupid.
2) Impeachment options must now be explored (a lawsuit would be as effective).
3) When you need help in Delaware against corruption in its most virulent form, you turn for help, to blogs. Everyone else is bought out.
Any Republican wishing to run against these two idiots who continue to consume a case of diarrhea just because they don’t know better, has my support. At the very moment when Republicans looked like they had no shot in hell, a light shines down from above..
If you are not absolutely disgusted with the behavior of the New Castle Democratic County Council leadership, you need to move overseas to New Jersey. Right Now.

Disclaimer: There are many Republicans to whom the characterization does not apply. Just wanted to get that out there. My characterization is meant to apply specifically to it’s leadership. not the individuals on the ground…..

Sorry, I am in a better head space today. Yesterday I was on the ACORN bus to the DC health care rally.
We went to chat with Sen. Kaufman’s aide first. Ted is fully on board with an affordable, universal access plan for the health and security of the American people. Carper..not so much.
Traveling down the hall, I strode right up to newest DEM Sen. Spector and took his hand in greeting. ” Hi there DEM Senator! Nancy Willling from Delaware here”. He gave me a huge grin in response.
And later, after meeting with Tom Carper’s staffers….(Carper ducked in the door to lecture us..his secretary interrupting after a few minutes..”your next appointment is here”
Carper “I’ll be right there” and continues to blab when Jennifer Hill, SEIU spokesperson, interrupted Carper and boy, then he jumped down her throat saying please don’t interrupt me.
She shot right back saying that since he was evidently going to leave without hearing a single direct word from any of the two dozen Delawareans crammed into his conference room that she wanted to be sure that we were able to say a few words to him directly.
And he did let her get a few sentences in.
After that meeting concluded (and the presentation from the DE coalition was submitted) we gathered in the atrium hallway in front of his office doors. An organizer from Health Care For America Now was telling us some good future actions would be to keep the pressure on Carper and that Jay Rockefeller had just presented A REALLY GOOD bill to focus on and promote.
Right then, Jay himself, on crutches with a knee brace and an entourage of interns squeezed around our crowd and we all hailed him with cheers!!!!
So, while the interview with Carper was VERY disappointing, the rally was great and the coalition intends to move ahead.
(of note: Carper’s staffers were polite but firm that the bill had to be bipartisan and when Jennifer said that we only would need 51 they fell out. A sore point. They said nooooooooooooo that most of the items under consideration would not be appropriate under the reconciliation rules.
Once again, Jennifer didn’t hesitate to say that the most important piece was the financial piece which certainly did fit under reconciliation rules. The staffers were none too please.
Thanks for letting me vent. 🙂 K

No, it is my place to thank you for the real time insight into Carper’s frame of reference…
.. and don’t be put off by the next appointment crap… they plan it that way… for effect…
We are supposed to think, “oh, we have an important congressman, he is always so busy. So that is what we get, when what we want …. is someone to listen to us for a change…
Perhaps their ears would hear us more if we provided free booze?

heh, every single one of us knew that Carper had his secretary pull him out of there after a few minutes.
This is what Frieda Berryhill wrote about that MO of Carper’s this morning ~
I can just hear Tom Carpers endless, longwinded “educational” diatribe , a million words signifying nothing…
It is his defense mechanism .
I have stacks of letters just like it.
When he gets done you feel like a first grader needing to be educated…..He feels good about having bamboozled you and you go away feeling having just been insulted. BEEN THERE DONE THAT
Thanks for going Nancy.

And then Floyd McDowall continued (if someone would translate the grave diggers rule for me that’d be great)
Frieda, this guy was born and reared in Danville, VA. He’s had marbles in his mouth and confusion in his brain from the time he attended his first snake handling ceremony. A casket will not be needed at his demise. A simple screwing in the ground will suffice. There’s an old grave diggers rule that applies to some politicians and lawyers and it’ll apply to Tom if he goes the conventional way. It’s “At least twelve feet down and in the far corner of the yard.” I swear my finger typed a t first before I changed it to a y.

Nancy,
I did not blank you out. I banged out a post in about 10 minutes and I apologize if I forgot to add that you almost got kicked out of the meeting because you couldn’t control your constant interjections. That being said, you did speak briefly on the Item J and you made it known that you didn’t feel its classification as an Item J was appropriate.
Again, I’m sorry I left you out.

Mike, I was expecting your usual, twitter input, like, hey, my girl Nancy is here.
Esp. since you solicited my participation via both phone and blog the night before.
It didn’t phase me particularly to not get mentioned in any way –outside of surprise– until people started talking about how terrible it was that no one else was standing up with you. Well, I was. And I was only there because you asked me to be there. 🙂

Nancy,
I didn’t *ask* you to be there. Yes, in the thread that started all of this, I sent a general invite for anyone interested to show up, but I didn’t *ask* you to show up. You did it of your own accord. It was certainly nice having you there…as it always is with these County issues because you really do know your shit.

I also know by now that respect is earned with these people. They haven’t earned it by a long shot and therefore they don’t deserve my respect so I do usually purposely irritate them (I am talking Paul and George here and Bob Weiner).
It is customary for me to try to cause them some minor distress.
I have yet to be tossed out but when and if that should happen, I’d be surprised. I am usually pretty good at letting them get just steamed enough at the gills to explode and then I back off having had my fun. They have enough fun at my expense, that’s for sure.
