Today in Florida Mitt Romney used these examples as to why he should be president.

His words….


It it ironical that Romney is justifying his existence by using two current items that were financed by government money. Both of which are gone in the Ryan budget.

Kind of drives home the point that we certainly need government in our lives… and you know what? WE LIKE IT THAT WAY. It’s actually pretty cool….

As for Romney’s way? Everybody hates work… Why on earth would we want our government to run us, the same way our bosses run us? Really? REALLY? Like that IS a GOOD thing? Not hardly…

Only Obama. yes, by default. But only Obama.


1) You know he is not going to win.
3) You can’t pin down where Romney stands on anything.
4) He tied his dog to a car.



1. Become reality driven. Don’t kid yourself or others.
Find out what’s what and base your decisions and actions
on that.

2. Always be honest and tell the truth. It’s extremely
difficult to do any damage to anybody when you are
willing to tell the truth–regardless of the

you actually accomplish, the louder your critics become.
You’ve got to learn to ignore your critics. You’ve got to
continue to do what you think is right. You’ve got to
maintain your integrity.

4. Determine your goal, develop a plan to reach that
goal, and then act. Don’t procrastinate.

5. Make sure everybody who ought to know what you’re
doing knows what you’re doing. Communicate.

6. Don’t hesitate to deliver bad news. There is always
time to salvage things. There is always time to fix
things. Henry Kissinger said that anything that can be
revealed eventually should be revealed immediately.


Honesty. Integrity. Principal.



1) He cut the rate of government growth in half,


3) Privatized half of the prisons in the state,




7) Shifted Medicaid to managed care.











When facts get thrown around, Republicans look pretty shabby.






Then watch the economy take off……





That said..

America Embarassed At UN

Perhaps you caught it, the leader of the free world dissed with a total lack of respect…

From the Christain Science Monitor:

George W. Bush’s last speech as American president to the United Nations General Assembly stuck to a familiar theme: the global fight against international terrorism.

Calling the threat from violent extremists “the fundamental challenge of our time,” President Bush on Tuesday reminded the world’s assembled leaders that “every nation in this chamber has responsibilities” in the battle with terror.

Speaking before the United Nations, Bush railed at the threat of extremist terrorists, from who we have heard nothing from since the London attack which killed 52 innocent civilians… Out of a global population that amounts to 0.00000076 of today’s estimated population.

We are currently pondering whether we can keep our economy alive to feed people, when everything crashes…

It shows our current administration, whom most would agree is just a precursor of what McCain will bring….is out of touch… The world is about to spin out of control financially, and “the greatest threat of our time”… fundamentalist extremists….

The question is not whether they are a threat…. it is a point of degree… Are they our ‘GREATEST THREAT’?

Bush said so; and the world ignored him as one does at every town meeting, where the universal fool goes on far too long about the tiny crack in his sidewalk….

I have done a lot of talking with people who know what a Great Depression is like…

They all say, get food… Believe it or not it disappears… Against this backdrop, we are supposed to believe our ‘GREATEST THREAT’ is fundamentalist extremists…

And almost as an aside, Bush characterized “the UN as a critical force in the 21st century – one that is uniquely positioned to meet the challenges of extremism, poverty, authoritarian rule, and a lack of human rights. But its promise is too often limited, he said, by inefficiencies and member states’ failure to work toward common interests.

Apparently even he realizes his unilateral approach, forced on him by the neocons surrounding him, was pure bunk…. Otherwise why would he pull out a page from Obama’s position of foreign relations?

Sorry dude, the world has moved on… You and McCain just don’t get it… Neither of you can lead, simply because you have no idea of what is really going on….

Taking the Easy Pass Lane











Brief notes:

What didn’t happen?

SB 04 did not escape fast enough when Thurman Adam’s bottom drawer was quickly open and shut. It and HB 04 expired last night from lack of oxygen.

Few gave much chance that either bill would survive once they entered the dreaded Senate Executive committee. Gee, who is on that committee? One, the chair, is a Democrat! Thurman Adams who hails from the Sussex County town of Bridgeville. The others include the following Democrats: Patty Blevins, Tony DeLuca, and Jim Vaughn, who can now retire since it will not matter how his replacement would vote. The committee is complimented by the ghost of Wayne Smith, Charlie Copeland, and the renewable resource fox lover, Liane Sorenson

If you need a good cry, look back through the January archives of Delaware’s bloggers and see the hopefulness that burned within. Then on 1/11 the Senate bill got pegged. On March 20, the House Bill 04 disappeared along with it after being passed 38 to 1 in the House.

So lets see…….in the House, which is Republican, almost everyone except for Rehoboth’s Democrat, voted to have the Bond Bill brought out of committee three days before the last day of the session. This year, the bond bill came out and was passed sight unseen at11:01 by the Senate, and at 12:54 by the House. 3.4 Billion and now you know more of what was in it than any of those voting yea did in the early morning hours!

So who failed us? We did, you and me. As any high school student of physics will tell you, under the law of inertia, it takes an unbalanced force to challenge and change the direction of a moving object. And our General Assembly has been traveling in this direction for a long time.

Only Delaware’s bloggers are “unbalanced enough” to create the precisely applied force required to change the direction of our legislature. Now, after tonight, it is public knowledge as to where that force needs to be applied………….

So we’ll give those lobbyists who packed the galleries early into the morning, fingers crossed that their special projects would go unnoticed until passage, then high five-ing their way down Lockerman Street to their favorite watering hole-(Hi Diana (bartender))……… them, we give the first round.    But it was no TKO;   just a one point split decision. We now know their Achilles heel.

Incidentally,  of all the personalities. on either side of the aisle, in either chamber,   the most impressive personality was,……………………………Karen Peterson.  Someday she really could be governor.
