State GOP Chair John Sigler gets his victim on . . .

To be clear, I do agree with the GOP that Brian Pettyjohn's name should be placed on the ballot in the 19th District.  With a candidate withdrawn for over 100 felony charges and a duly nominated replacement, democracy is not served by playing politics with ballot access here.

Hi, I'm John Sigler, and I hate the
idea that anybody in America
could be disenfranchised at the
polls unless they're poor, black,
hispanic, Libertarian, Green,
Constitution, IPOD . . . .
I mean, you've got to have
standards, don't you?
That said, it is comical to hear John Sigler whine thus in the current GOP email blast:
Time is of the essence, and the Democratic machine in Dover is trying to squash our voice completely in the legislature. We must not let this happen! 

I cannot urge you enough to donate. No political party should be disenfranchised in our state, and the future balance of power in Dover hangs in the balance!
Now let's get this straight:  this is John Sigler crying, "Don't disenfranchise us!" right?

John Sigler of the same Delaware GOP that . . .

. . . voted to make ballot access more difficulty for Greens, Libertarians, and IPODians by raising the necessary registration totals . . .  
. . . voted to end fusion candidacies . . . 
. . . jerked around Libertarian candidates like Johnny Machurek and Margaret Melson with empty promises of support if only they would desert the LPD for the GOP (but really had no money or resources he was willing to commit) . . . 
. . . belongs to the same GOP that has fought to disenfranchise Libertarian and Constitution Party candidates in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan, Oklahoma, and other states . . . 
. . . belongs to the same GOP that consistently tries to keep minority and poor people from voting in places like Pennsylvania . . . 

Yep, it's that John Sigler.

Because with the Delaware GOP disenfranchisement is only an important issue when it happens to them.

I would say that politically i am indifferent, the only thing i care about politics is the election being over. But seriously, do republicans think? They come out with a talking point and immediately when they do they are immediately shot down becuase of the ineptitude of their thoughts. They should be more like democrates and just do it and not say anything and hope no one catches them.

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba
