Delaware’s Democratic Backlash

Christine O’Donnell’s win in the Delaware Primaries on September 14th, brought an immediate onslaught of democratic opposition that would make any conservative’s stomach turn.  Pandemonium broke out as the last results were released on that Tuesday evening  Several minutes later, Christine approached the stage for her victory speech, every media photographer with a camera was packed in front of the stage with shocked looks on their faces.

Since September 14th, her opponents, with their bile running high have distorted the truth and accused her of everything except the Holocaust.  The latest witchcraft allegations are laughable to most Delaware voters.  They give no credence to those charges and it has only strengthened her support base.  Christine’s record, although not perfect, is thought to be acceptable for the Delaware voters.  Many have said that whatever her baggage is, they can live with it.  “It is the issues,” one man told me at the post primary victory party.  “Christine believes in the Constitution and The Bill of Rights and she is a real conservative.”

While Delawareans listen to main stream national media adamantly, they know it is their responsibility to vote for the person they want to represent them.  Many Independents in Delaware feel that the alternative to O’Donnell, is totally unacceptable.  Her Democratic opponent, Chris Coon is an admitted Marxist Who has raise taxes in his position as New Castle County Executive, wrote an article titled, “The Making of a Bearded Marxist.”   At 21, about to graduate from Amherst College Coons had changed from a conservative college student who worked for Senator Bill Roth to an ardent Marxist.

In this senatorial race, the choice is clear, with no gray areas.  We will either elect Christine O’Donnell who will represent a conservative agenda, or Chris Coon, who will promote a Marxist agenda but this choice is up to Delaware’s voters, of which I am included.  We will fight hard and win at the ballot box.

      We need all Republican’s behind O’Donnell – we supported John McCain – time for everyone to get behind all the primary winners. Period.

        She can get the vote of every republican and still lose big.

        She needs a fair amount of votes from independents (who in DE are mostly left-leaners) and from Democrats (who in DE tend to be less liberal than their counterparts in NY or CA at least from a fiscal perspective) to be competitive. Those people don’t want to hear about conservative solutions, especially when O’Donnell is so associated with social conservative solutions. They won’t change their entire world-view in 6 weeks. Plus, DE is such a small state everybody knows their politicians. Nobody cares if Coons flirted with 3rd worldism and marxism 25 years ago. He’s been the county executive for New Castle – where more than half of the population resides – for years and they’ve reelected him twice.

        Now, what those potential swingvoters in Delaware care about is a good business environment for Dupont and the banks + clean government. Tying Coons to Obama and Pelosi’s anti-business, anti-growth agenda, the large deficits their policies are creating and all the special interest groups surrounding the national democratic party is O’Donnell’s best chance of closing some of the gap.

            Obamacare won’t decrease health care costs for the government.

            As written, Obamacare covers elective abortions.

            Obamacare won’t allow employees or most small businesses to keep the coverage they have and like.

            Obamacare will increase insurance premiums — in some places, it already has.

            Obamacare will force seasonal employers — especially the ski and amusement park industries — to pay huge fines, cut hours, or lay off employees.

            Obamacare forces states to guarantee not only payment but also treatment for indigent Medicaid patients.

            Obamacare imposes a huge nonmedical tax compliance burden on small business.

            Obamacare allows the IRS to confiscate part or all of your tax refund if you do not purchase a qualified insurance plan.

            If you wonder why so many American voters are angry, and no longer give Obama the benefit of the doubt on a variety of issues, you need look no further than Obamacare, whose birthday gift to America might just be a GOP congressional majority.

            And remember what Chris Coons said:

    These recent polls, that show O’Donnell down about 15, but Castle up about 15 in a hypothetical matchup with Coons. Take the Fox poll, I think that was 54-39 Coons over O’Donnell but 48-33 Castle over Coons. I haven’t heard anybody bother to analyze that, but what that really means is that Coons actual support is at 33, 6 points BEHIND O’Donnell, and the rest of the vote is a mixture of groups like sore loser Republicans and folks who are opposing O’Donnell based on the lies/misleading statements in the media about her past, so that once O’Donnell clears those up and the GOP base rallies behind the nominee of the Party, she will probably be pretty comfortably ahead. Thats before voters even start taking a good look at Coons and his ultra liberal record of tax raising and huge defecit spending. This race is way more in our favor right now than people realize, but just like those NY races that recently went from over 20 point defecits to 1 and 6 point defecits, this one’s gonna move REAL strong in our favor, and it’ll probably start real soon.
