Where public policy meets common sense
Posted in Election 2012, Glen Urquhart, Sussex GOP on Dec 15th, 2011
Thanks to the 2010 census, Sussex County has gotten a new state senatorial district, the sixth. It will encompass Milton, Lewes, Rehoboth, and Dewey Beach. Since this is a new district there will be no incumbent. The Democrats already have a candidate, Andrew “Andy” Staton, a Rehoboth real estate agent. On the Republican side [...]

FIX WHAT’S WRONG: Restore CONFIDENCE Something’s wrong. We all feel the disappointment. The needed confidence isn’t there to spark job-creation by investors and employers. Since more jobs are created by small business, we must restore small business confidence in particular. Hopefully both liberals and conservatives would agree. But here’s the key: To restore small business [...]

The Daily Borg had an insightful observation that you should all read in its entirety. The DB is one of my favorite reads but it does not currently have easy article archives so for future readers, I will reprint a large portion here. And just where was the point of ignition? The tall engineer with [...]

“ADULTS” Face Their SPENDING-ADDICTION, They Don’t “COMPROMISE” With It The President should be the “adult in the room, not just talk about. His government spends too much — 25% more than Bush. Credit rating threats, and Debt Ceiling limits are the symptoms. The disease is overspending. He must face that hard fact. Politicians overspend [...]

FairTax is a fundamentally different way for the Federal government to raise its revenue. FairTax is revenue neutral. It is neither a tax increase nor a tax decrease on the American nation. It is just a very simple and fair way for the Federal government to collect its needed revenue. It is also sweeping in [...]

The following link is to the letter sent to the attorneys of Christine O’Donnell from United States Attorney, Charles M. Oberly III. In the letter the Justice Department states that it will not being pursuing the charges brought against Ms. O’Donnell by the organization known as CREW. The charges allege that Ms. O’Donnell [...]

Chairman Urquhart of the Sussex County GOP Committee released a statement today titled, “Why Ban The Faith That Gave Us Freedom?” The “radical transformers” seem bent on stamping out cherished and vital traditions. Having tried to expunge “Easter,” they’re now attacking prayer before Sussex County Council meetings. All that’s left is attempting to force the [...]

This is a part of a series on the election. If you would like to give your point of view, email me or depolitics@gmail.com. Bring something unique to the table and you will be considered. How can any Republican win future elections in Delaware? After Obama’s 2008 landslide, people asked whether the GOP would go [...]

I am writing to correct some misconceptions promoted by a News Journal article of recently regarding the interaction of the Republican State Committee and The Lawson for Senate Campaign. Most of the article involved a criticism of the Republican State Committee and its leadership and the lack of organization within the party. The small part [...]

For what it is worth, Mike Protack is the rank and file Republican choice for New Castle County President according to a new poll. Due to the fact it is a special election, we know the real primary is in the mind of Mike Flemming who by law is the final arbiter of who runs for the [...]

In May 2009, I gave a call for a conservative moderate coalition for Senate and U. S. House. The establishment was too high handed to adopt the proposal. I just want to remind the failed establisment that conservatives where willing to work with you. You were not so willing to work the other way. Now [...]

By: Richard L. Abbott The Delaware Republican Party is a paper tiger (perhaps cub). As Republican victories swept across the U.S. last week in a wave, little ‘ole Delaware was immune, in fact opposite from the national trend. Here, Democrats made gains, almost taking every statewide office for the first time in modern history. Last [...]

I am intrigued by how many close elections the Democrats hung on with. Allegations of funny business have not been proven. I hear complaints in Illinois, but more intriguing are the ballots found in some places. We first heard of that in Minnesota with Al Franken. Now they found ballots in Connecticut and Texas. It almost [...]

I really wanted to avoid this. On Tuesday night at the Hilton in New Castle there was considerable Christine trashing for the loss of the Treasurer’s Office and the loss of Delaware House of Representative seats. (Yes we will pay and pay for the latter.) I thought the critique was premature and unfair. We need [...]

I think there are only three logical choices. Who has an organization that can be fielded with in the next 6 weeks? Who has the name recognition that could actually win? Who could make organized labor yawn and not be fired up during the Christmas holidays? In a low turnout special election for New Castle [...]

One of the great joys of this election season was the victory of a great friend, Glen Howell. Glen was elected to the 6th district Levy Court on an uncompromising platform of property rights and fiscal responsibility. Glen had lost a few races in the past. One primary for the 32nd district and some countywide [...]

I think we can assume that Nancy Pelosi and the San Fransico progressives are the poster children for out of touch. Instead of reaching out, she insulted concerned citizens. This is why Nancy Pelosi had an 8% approval rating among Independents. The GOP added minorities to its party. Retired Col. West won his race and State Rep. [...]

It is official. Republicans won the U. S. House and made gains in the Senate. Governorships are falling into place as well. It is a good night. Locally, I am pleased with some gains in Kent County in particular. Regionally, Toomey looks like a victor in Pennsylvania and Harris won in Maryland-1. Do not be surpised [...]

What a choice. DP Hall of Poverty inductee John Kowalko has a challenger who is a young businessman. Read more about this race. Please vote wisely. Remember to be in the hall of poverty, you had to have a perfect zero on growing the private economy. Notice in the article that Rep. Kowalko just seems [...]

Just a friendly reminder. Barbara Vilches-Cruz wanted the protection-from-abuse order. Her account to Family Court was told under oath, as was Flowers’ denial of it. She could not be located for an interview. In a sworn statement, Vilches-Cruz described a scene as they argued and she decided to leave. “I pushed past him and ran [...]

Naturally, everyone will watch the statewide races. There are also several local races which could be bell weathers. I am not going into the prediction business this election. I will leave that to others, you in fact in the comments. I will give a quick analysis of the races to watch. One of my top [...]

Why is the Delaware Economy suffering? Part of it is national, but part of it is because of poor local leadership. Look at this economic scorecard. Look how many legislators never vote for the economy including Senate Majority leader Patricia Blevins and House Speaker Robert Gilligan. The only legislator that I saw with a greater [...]
