Meet Chris Coons (D CAND, DE-SEN). Harry Reid’s… pet.

I AM NOT THE ONE WHO OPENED THAT DOOR.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  September 15th, 2010 at 08:00 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Understandable that this would be said of Chris Coons: after all, look at that happy grin!  That marvelous posture!  That glossy coat… pelt… erm, skin!  Admittedly, this isn’t the best example of the breed in the smarts department – Coons admitted to being a Marxist in his more hirsute days, and we all know that Marxism is intellectualism for stupid people – but smarts aren’t everything.  Particularly when it comes to Democratic Senators: after all, when Carly Fiorina gets done with Senator Ma’am there’s going to be a vacancy anyway.  Assuming he survives his own general election, I’m sure that Coons will be a good boy, yes he will, yes he will!

Heck, I bet he’s even housebroken.

What’s that?  I’m being cruel, vicious, and mean by treating Chris Coons as a dog, not a human being?  I am showing my utter contempt for the formerly bearded Marxist?  I am treating Coons like some sort of… pet?

Tell it to Harry Reid.

“I’m going to be very honest with you — Chris Coons, everybody knows him in the Democratic caucus. He’s my pet. He’s my favorite candidate,” Reid said.

Well, maybe there should be an ellipsis and a start-over to the sentence there…

“I’m glad he’s running. I just think the world of him. He’s my pet.”

No, there probably shouldn’t have been an ellipsis and a start-over to the sentence there.

Via Ace of Spades (Conclusion: “Beta-male”) and Hot Air (Conclusion: “Martha Coakley“).  For myself, I’m reminded of a song:

Of course, that assumes that we have to worry about Harry Reid’s opinion once Sharron Angle is done with him.

PS: I swear, the Good Lord looks out for fools, drunkards, small children, the United States of America, and the Republican party. Christine O’Donnell for Senate. Homo sapiens sapiens.

    “Christine O?Donnell for Senate. Homo sapiens sapiens.”

    Day one and there’s already a pile of junk on this guy.

    I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.

  • Scope

    including- We did a bad job of vetting Obama, we can’t afford to run another admitted Marxist that shares Obama’s views.

    The American public has already said that Obama is way too far left. Coons is his twin. He can’t win in this atmosphere, even in the left leaning state of DE.

  • ericc

    …and made a donation to O’Donnell. And, while I was at it, to Angle as well. If we thought they were rough on O’Donnell in the primary, we haven’t seen anything yet.

    Let’s go get ‘em.

  • RedBeard

    Just a passing thought.

  • Adjoran

    That’s the way we do it in the Republican Party. Murkowski has no excuse, unless she is going to use the spotlight Friday to surprise everyone with an unconditional endorsement of Miller. (She may have some additional incentive: McConnell may have whispered in her ear that if she is leaving the party, she’s out of her nice office and into the cloakroom in the basement for her last few months in office, and with no GOP help in securing employment).

    Castle just got rocked, he deserves a few days to let it sink in. He’s already announced he won’t seek to run as an independent, which is more than O’Donnell was willing to say before the vote.

    McCollum needs to suck it up and endorse Scott. It was a rough campaign, but as someone said, “Politics ain’t beanbag.” Bill’s a grown man and a lifelong conservative Republican and he needs to start acting like one. He’s had enough time to cry in private: endorse!

    As to Coons, yes he is a leftist nutbar, but this is a seat held by Joe Biden for over three decades without serious competition. Delaware, Maryland, and DC mark the southern edge of the habitat range for the Shrieking Moonbat.

  • chbroussard

    ,,,send Mr. Coons a can of Alpo.

  • RedBeard

    This primary campaign is the first time I have seen the petulant side of him.

    I hope he reconsiders, and delivers a nice endorsement of Scott, as any mature and realistic man in his position should.

    ?I?m going to be very honest with you ? Chris Coons, everybody knows him in the Democratic caucus. He?s my pet. He?s my favorite candidate,

    Do we want Harry Reid’s pet in office? Is he even housebroken? Think of the mess he’ll leave on the carpet.

  • SteveLA

    Check back on November 4th to see if Rove and Krauthammer are right or wrong when it comes to Ms. O’Donnell and her appeal to voters in Delaware in the general election. They have stated an opinion, which is what their job is as paid talking heads.

  • stephaniet

    …will look like Stanley Steemer just got through with it in comparison to the country.

  • kowalski

    He looks like he’s figthing someone’s fist off with his face. Successfully.

    Listen, if you go to Amherst and you want to be a Republican, you’re guaranteed to be a frustrated little pisher. Don’t do that. Amherst is no place for you, and you *never* got laid while you were there.

  • ericc

    Rove is on Greta right now going over the same litany of O’Donnell’s “problems.” It is maddening. So eager to show how reasonable and enlightened he is. Turn your fire on the enemy, not on your own team!

  • gekster

    I liked him for a long time.
    But now I’m putting him with Newt and his

  • http://www.libertytreehugger.com reverelth

    And he won’t. In fact, he is doubling down on some of it, comparing her tax liens to Geithner’s tax evasion.

    Ugh.

    I’m on record already being skeptical about O’Donnell, but you go to war with the nominees you have. Fight for her and the rest of our people, and let the chips fall where they may.

    As for the Architech, he was so clever in never responding to the “Bush lied” allegations about WMD in Iraq. And he was shocked that Teddy Kennedy was vehemently opposed to Sam Alito. And note how he secured that long-term Republican majority by supporting Medicare part D and amnesty.

  • Dan McLaughlin

    with Geithner and others. I prefer to judge pols and appointees on what policies they will subject me and the economy etc too, and not mostly irrelevant personal issues and even most so-called character issues, especially for legislators whose job is to VOTE, not be a role-model Uncle Sam parent substitute! smile

  • kowalski

    Maybe Harry Reid knows something I don’t. It’s within the realm of possibility. He didn’t want to be seen as having a “Brokeback Moment” a couple of years ago, but that could have been to defer the speculation. It could be that he’s just longin’ for a man’s company out there in Las Vegas, the City of Glittering Lights, so nobody can quit him. In fact, there might be a record of what happens when Reid gets lonesome out there on the trail…

  • Locked and Loaded
  • jo11882

    Voters are fed up with the establishment. The fact that the establishment is against O’Donnell will likely accrue to her benefit.

  • The_Rebel

    I understand he contributed $5,000 to O’Donnell’s campaign today. Maybe he sees the handwriting on the wall.

  • rickintexas

    But unfortunately the tea party assured him of victory. I love the tea party movement but this is one state that it won’t work with Democrats enjoynig a 17 point registration advantage.

  • JSobieski

    the primary.

    This is just stupid.

  • kowalski

    And you know, even if it were to be true, I wouldn’t hold it against Harry Reid.

    Really. I wouldn’t. It would be a nonissue to me. Hilarious, perhaps, but ultimately a nonissue.

    What’s much more imporant are the things he does every single day in terms of policy in the United States Senate as the Majority Leader. Those things effect us all, each one of us. My opinion is that as a politician he’s a very crafty guy who should be removed from power as soon as possible. What else would he expect from someone commeting here at Redstate?

    As far as the rest of it is concerned, I couldn’t care less.

  • wormyguy

    I wouldn’t put it past Murk to counterthreaten to vote for the rest of the Obama agenda if she’s punished.

  • http://moelane.com/ Moe Lane

    Was there anything else?

  • NeoKong

    Do they really want to elect someone who will be Harry Reid’s pet…?
    Things could get….ruff.

  • SirGladiator

    They should definitely put that Harry Reid quote into an ad. Remember that while Christine is largely unknown to the voters of Delaware, Coons has that same problem. For all the worries we might’ve had before today of O’Donnell being ‘negatively introduced’ to the state in the days to come if she couldn’t raise enough money fast (it certainly appears now that she can, I donated again earlier this evening), Coons has that same problem also.

    If we can get enough money together in the next few days, and run an ad like that, blanket the state with it for a week or so, the whole ‘Coons is my favorite candidate’ thing, with the whole ‘he’s my pet’ thing done for great comedic effect, maybe have a picture of a poodle with Coons head on it, being led by Reid with a picture of Reid holding the leash, that’ll really tie him right to the incredibly unpopular Democratic Leader and in general the Washington Machine, and it’ll do it in an incredibly effective and hilarious way. It’ll also play perfectly into O’Donnell’s whole ‘Outsider vs the Establishment of both parties’ theme, that I actually mentioned in my own Diary a little while ago.

    So let’s do to Coons what Reid did to Angle, swamp him with negative ads right after the Primary, before he has the chance to introduce himself to the voters. Sounds like a winning plan to me!

    …we have another Constitutionalist in the Senate from Delaware. Now the good voters and tax payers in Delaware have a true choice in the general as they had in the primary….More Liberty or more Tyranny? A candidate who espouses less government, lower taxes, fewer regulations and starting to remove the heavy boot of government off our necks versus someone who admits he is a Marxist. I think they choose the LIBERTY candidate AGAIN!

    I bet it’s equally fun to rub both their heads, though.

  • davesinsanantonio

    “Republican in the general” is still okay in my book. Now, if squishes such as Rove would just get that through their thick heads.

  • davesinsanantonio

    people lie to pollsters, vote their brain/pocketbook over their “heart”, and vote against anyone who smacks of bigger government. So, Delaware is still a state that may surprise you.
    I believe the voters of America, Delaware included, are smarter than they are portrayed to be. When a clear cut choice is presented to them, especially in such a volatile economy, will vote for basic freedoms, including freedom from overwhelming debt.

  • davesinsanantonio
  • JadedByPolitics

    Rush is RIGHT that a large majority of Americans have had “something” in their history with a government agency because the Country is so govermentized. Karl Rove btw knows absolutely NOTHING about finance and the fact that a lot of people and I cannot find the figures absolutely DO have problems with banks and their mortgages and false filing most especially during the collapse of the mortgages and values at the height of bubble bursting!…..so he is IGNORANT in his desire to take her out because his boy went down!

  • RedBeard

    It’s about the painfully obvious need for them to stop helping the enemy.

    If this weren’t so serious, it would be plain silly. Rove in particular is acting like a 7th grader whose team lost the playground baseball game, and now wants everyone else to suffer.

    The more Rove talks, the less relevant he becomes. And at this point, he hasn’t far to go before disappearing entirely from serious conversation, and being relegated to Keith Olbermann status.
    ________________

    Dear Mr. Rove: Shut up, Sir. Just shut up.

  • politicalqrm

    Any person with an ounce of self-esteem would take that as the ultimate insult. Coons shows he doesn’t think for himself. And he will vote the way Harry does. Such a good soldier!

    BTW, there are rarely any ex-Marxists. They just change their appearance and wordspeak to get into the establishment. Then when they get power, it’s back to the program.

    The O’Donnell campaign should run with this. And her handlers shouldn’t be afraid.. I think they would be the death knell for her campaign if they don’t take advantage of EVERY opportunity. Always, always use your opponent’s words against them. There can never be an accusation of smearing…

  • RedBeard

    Give up?

    Pelosi is going to be in town (Charleston, SC), to speak at an NAACP fundraiser. The cream on that pie will be that Shirley Sherrod will also be attending.

    Which is a good thing, I guess. I thought she was coming to town searching for her long lost sister – the Wicked Witch of the East.

    In the article, I love in the opening paragraph how the reporter has NO CLUE when the Speaker was last in the Lowcountry. …My bet – NEVER.

    LOL

  • edintexas

    “…against attacking making tax problems a big deal” actually means you have no interest in whether a politician, or appointee, is involved in tax fraud (e.g. Geithner)?

    Every tax cheat “just made a mistake”. Every white collar criminal “just made a mistake”. They all believe they were too smart to get caught (and frequently aren’t). They still are criminals (it doesn’t take a conviction to make one a criminal) and I prefer my politicians and appointees to at least be devoid of criminal activity in their resume. And, frankly, having a “sweetheart deal” of paying the taxes they attempted to avoid without penalty isn’t exactly a resume enhancer for me either.

    A tax lien is something else entirely, There is no evasion involved. Policies are important, too. But I, for one, can’t overlook having a criminal in office, whether elected or appointed.

  • http://908StraightSt.wordpress.com/ mbecker908

    & Sarah Palin & Mike Huckabee and their right to campaign for and raise gobs of money for Republican candidates.

    I just hope none of ‘em run for any political office in the next 30 years because they’ve amply demonstrated that they’re no more qualified to be President in these times than the guy who’s sitting in the Oval Office right now.

  • edintexas

    Am I mistaken, or didn’t I hear on Wednesday that Castle will NOT endorse O’Donnell? If that is correct, it doesn’t take a few days to suck it up and support the party candidate. But the Republican squishes frequently refuse to endorse/help a Conservative who beat them in the primary. And that’s when they don’t actively help the Democrat.

    It was one thing when DE republican Chairman Tom Ross said before the election that that O’Donnell couldn’t get elected dog catcher. She did that and then some. And of course, now we discover Coon’s is Reid’s pet.

    It would be awfully nice if this dog catcher picked up Mr. Reid’s pet next time its running amock in the neighborhood.

    Coons should stop peeing on the constitution and the people of the USA.

  • realskinny

    I wish Greta had asked Rove if he wanted the D to win. If he denied it, she should have asked why he keeps throwing mud at O’Donnell when Coons has more baggage than she does.

  • http://andrightlyso.com/ civil_truth

    Though I’d say for Romney and Huckabee – not until 2112.

  • realskinny

    of a high school clique’s irrational hatred toward some outsider.

    Christine O’Donnell was the GOP candidate against Joe Biden 2 years ago. 2008 was a big Democrat year. Biden outspent her 40 to 1 and she still got 37% of the vote. It’s foolish to contend she has no chance against a parody of a left-wing Democrat in what should be a huge Republican year. The people of Delaware are just as upset about the direction of the country as the rest of us. If O’Donnell has enough money to get the message out of putting a stop to spending and gangster government so the people can rebuild the economy she can win. As was said above on this thread, these so-called Republicans need to stop helping the Dems, get aboard the bus or be run over.

  • http://www.leverettepost.blogspot sirjason

    Rove is the guilty GOP elitist who led the Bush’s to progressive governance! Bush 43 went from ‘Compassionate Conservative’ to spend, spend like a Democrat, i.e. Obama! Bush 43 started TARP and when the Stock Market bottomed out he gave Paulson the 872 billion to issue the moneay to foreign entities and saved the Wall St. gang!

    remind me of Rocky Raczkowski’s (MI-9) crew. They are the rowdiest folks. Gary Peters (D) is going to get blown out of the water on Nov. 2.

    In fact, the Dems are on the run all over this state. One Dem candidate for county commissioner never even mentions on her campaign literature that she is a Dem! You’d never know we have a two-party system.
    More:
    from The Detroit News on Wed, Sep 8, 2010
    “Benishek leading in internal poll”

    “…A poll shows him leading 54 percent to 31 percent against state Rep. Gary McDowell, D-Rudyard, in a two-way ballot. Fourteen percent of the 406 respondents were undecided.

    “In a four-way ballot with independent Glenn Wilson and Lonnie Lee Snyder, one of The Tea Party candidates recently removed from the ballot by the Michigan Supreme Court, Benishek took 39 percent of those polled while McDowell took 25 percent.

    “In a statement, Benishek said the ‘poll numbers reflect the energy and enthusiasm I am seeing all over the First District.’”

    I know I’m off topic, but that photo and music — they make me want to *shout*.
