From Senator Coons: Today I’m rolling out my six-point plan to address America’s jobs crisis — and I hope you’ll endorse it. I spent much of August talking with Delaware’s business owners and working families about solving the crisis, and reading through ideas shared by supporters like you. These discussions have been enormously productive, and [...]

S. 978 in the U. S. Senate needs immediate opposition. The bill by Klobuchar, Cornyn, and our own Coons would create another federal felony. It would criminalize embedding videos deemed copyright infringement by redefining public performance to include 10 views in 180 days. The music industry would rue the day that such legislation passes because one [...]

The balanced budget has been a good thing for the State of Delaware and many people think it would be a good thing for the country. One of them is Senator Mike Lee of Utah. He recently proposed Senate Amendment 115 to Senate Bill 23 The Patent Reform Act of 2011. The purpose of the amendment [...]

Delaware’s Two Senators helped block an Earmark ban yesterday. Harry Reid pet Chris Coons spouted the party line, but Senator Tom Carper surprised observers because he had voiced support for the ban. Maybe the Language needed to be worked out. Here is the Coburn amendment, you decide. SA 4697. Mr. COBURN (for himself, Mrs. McCaskill, and [...]

In an interview with ABC NEWS George Stephanopoulos, Chris Coons has said that he would vote to extend the Bush Tax Cuts for several Years. This is in opposition to The Chris Coons previous position. I guess Coons is not as confident in his double digit lead as some tell us. It’s nice that Coons [...]

In the near future there is the possibility that a revelation about something in the past of the Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate from the state of Delaware, Chris Coons, will be forthcoming. As of right now it has not been made public. Since I have been unable to substantiate the validity of the [...]

Lately here in Delaware there has been a lot of discussion about phrases like marxist, socialist, fascist, liberal, conservative and so on. This is due in large part to the statement by the Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate Chris Coons in which he describes himself as a “bearded Marxist”. These were his own [...]

David Broder said in today’s column at the Washington Post that some states would kill to have two candidates for Senate like Castle and Coons. After the Disclose Act, I agree, and if any state wishes to adopt them they can call me at 302-555-1111. I would be glad to facilitate their adoption.
Posted in Carney, Chris Coons, National Dems, Taxes, unemployment on Jul 22nd, 2010
Democrats pushed through the latest gambit to extend unemployment benefits. I have no objections to the extension, but I do object to a 34 billion dollar bill costing around 83.4 billion and 50 billion in new taxes. Democrats use the unemployed like a human shield to push through spending and pork that would not make it [...]

UPDATED with Statement by O’Donnell at the end: The argument for Congressman Castle is that he is inevitable. Rasmussen has just changed Delaware from being safe to leaning GOP. Congressman Castle still looks safe, but he dropped below 50% for the first time against Tax hiker Chirs Coons who is still mired in the 30′s versus [...]

New Castle County Government Thwarts Taxpayers Once Again Joe Oddo, Vice Chairman NCC Republicans “Absurd!” That’s what today’s News Journal appropriately labels New Castle County’s requirement that duly elected members of council must submit Freedom of Information Act requests for public information. Can they be serious? New Castle County Government has long struggled with ethical [...]

Read this disgusting politicization of Memorial Day by Senate Candidate Chris Coons. We are in the middle of two wars but he can not even resist the impulse to allowing a study before starting social experimentation on the military in the name of repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Late Thursday night the House voted on [...]

FYI Mr. Chris Coons shares his schedule for the three county announcement as follows. It’s been almost two months since I entered the race for the United States Senate to make sure Delaware continues its tradition of strong Democratic representation in Washington.

This is an interesting article on where they stand in the aftermath of the Health deform Law. I am always struck by the lack of leadership by Congressman Castle even when he comes down on the right side of the issue. He is right that repeal is hopeless this year. I do not care if [...]
