Typical John Carney: attends LGBT fundraiser and doesn't say a damn thing about marriage equality

The Washington Blade has the story of Jack Markell, Beau Biden, and John Carney attending the fundraiser put on by the Delaware Stonewall Democrats.

Quotes from Markell and Biden, but nothing from Carney.

Here's the million-dollar sentence that tells you everything you need to know about John Carney's position on marriage equality:

Biden joined Markell in expressing support for a same-sex marriage bill in Delaware.

"Biden joined Markell"?

Where the hell is John Carney?

Where he has always been on marriage equality--hiding.

If you are LGBT, or if you support Marriage Equality, then you need to think about voting for the only political party in Delaware whose candidates are actively trying to make that happen.

And you need to think about Scott Gesty, Congressman Carney's Libertarian opponent, who has signed the Libertarian pledge to support Marriage Equality.

This year there is only one choice for the US House if marriage equality matters: Scott Gesty.

Support the Scott Gesty "Dog Days of August" Money Grenade, and Scott will support you in Washington DC!

Delaware Gov. Jack Markell (D) expects his state to take up marriage equality in the next legislative session.

WASHINGTON -- Delaware could legalize marriage equality next year, according to Gov. Jack Markell.

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here: chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.” The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

Libertarian National Committee Deathwatch Part 1

As the LNC continues to lurch towards collapse, with the latest news of mass layoffs at HQ, I've decided to begin tracking those things leading the national party to irrelevance, even as state and local parties gain power. As news, rumors and rhetoric break out, I shall chronicle them in this ongoing series at Delaware Libertarian. Organizations approaching failure have a number of characteristics. One of the most striking is renunciation of their purpose and effort to reinvent themselves as a "me-too" provider of services in the marketplace. In this, the LNC has been on a collision course with destiny for a while now. Recently, for example, it hired Republican Party web site developer TerraEclipse to redesign the LNC web site . Terra created a web site very similar to those of the clients it brags most about -- far-right Republican conservatives like Tom McClintock and BJ Lawson. A quick look at the web site they built for the LNC is instructive. The tagline on the ...

The disturbing decline of the Delaware blogosphere: a very unfortunate Around the Horn (even if it's not Friday)

I've noticed a change in my own blog-checking habits over the past several weeks, and I don't know if it's just me or the reality of the last month of a divisive political campaign. I automatically used to check out Delawareliberal first and several times a day, because it was where I could find edgy, thought-provoking, and (dare I say it) funny banter going on. These days visit several other spots first, and my visits to DL are both shorter and less engaged. Why? Because the combination of invading neo-con commenters with the stridency of some of the major contributors has led to such pleasant exchanges as a post dedicated to labeling another blogger racist by donviti, whose own sense of provocative humor is generally so far out there that he makes John Belushi doing Samurai bartender on the SNL look positively pro-Asian. Or I can find Delawaredem and jason periodically spewing the idea that anybody who is not a liberal or progressive Democrat is somehow a non-American,...
