Delaware Dem endorses Libertarian Wendy Jones in the 19th State Senate Race

No secret that DelDem and I have our issues, but it would be churlish of me not to acknowledge his classy cross-party endorsement of 19th District Libertarian State Senate candidate Wendy Jones over at Delawareliberal:

You know, I am now rooting for Wendy Jones to win this race. It would be something. A shot in the arm for Libertarians, a death blow to conservative Democrats and Republicans a like. This country and state need an honest and strong opposition party, and the Republicans are neither. It is time for the Libertarians to rise.


DD also joined me (I can't find the link right this second) in noting that Polly ADAMS Mervine's campaign website was--charitably--a bit short in the issues department.

Thank you, DelawareDem, for this statement of support for a new multi-party system.

Who says we cannot find agreement in the Delaware blogosphere?

Although I don't really think kavips' call for a blogosphere political party is going to take off anytime soon.

No, Kavips is oft in the 'osphere part of things. Beautifully wrought impossibilities...oh well.

Wendy Jones might have a chance.

It is an unusual election in that there can be only one player from each party with each under a ferociously brief timeline. Can the Libertarian withstand established party infrastructure?

I guess it will come down to 'what have they done for me, lately?'.

reminds me of a Libertarian friend of mine who always votes Democrat.

Hi reason is that it will hasten the downfall of the Federal Government. He believes total collapse is the only cure.

I attended the candidates' debate earlier tonight at Crossroads Community Church in Georgetown. The most disappointing aspect of this was Polly leaving the debate after the opening speech that was given by the candidates. She stated that she had"prior committments" that would not allow her to stay for the rest of the debate. Meanwhile, Wendy gave an fine effort in this debate despite being in pain from back disc surgery just 4 days earlier. It was obvious who the more dedicated candidate was..certainly not the one who didn't have the respect to provide the constitutents a chance to find her true stands on any issues.

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...
