Why Do Our Elected Representatives Support ACORN?

Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD)

Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD)

Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD)

What do these folks have in common?  They’re Democrats.  They’re left wingers. … and they all support ACORN.

While Barack Obama’s former employer is using YOUR tax dollars to assist child prostitution rings, YOUR representatives in Congress are doing all that they can to make sure that these criminals stay on the Federal Gravy Train.

Mikulski (see video), Cardin and Kratovil have all voted to keep YOUR tax dollars flowing to this merry band of mobsters.  Why?  Because ACORN helps to get them re-elected.  It’s that simple.

Ireton Belittles Voters, Shills for Kratovil, on WICO

When Jim Ireton was running for mayor many folk asked how I could support a flaming liberal like Jim Ireton.  The answer was simple.  Jim Ireton never hid the fact that he was (to be kind) left of center.  Yet, like councilwoman Terry Cohen, Ireton professed a responsible approach to city government despite his spendthrift attitudes towards state and federal fiscal policy.  That said, Ireton doesn’t get a free pass for attacking average citizens in order to shill for “his friend”, Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD).

Appearing on Delmarva Talks with Bill Reddish this morning, Ireton ridiculed average citizens who gathered last week to share their concerns about ObamaCare with Kratovil at several town hall meetings.  Ireton accused voters of “having marching orders” and shouting down Kratovil.  Ireton specifically cited Kratovil’s meeting at Mardela Jr. / Sr. High School.  Here’s some video:

 

That older gentleman really was SCARY!  Wasn’t he?

I Didn’t Know That John Kerry Was Running in Maryland

I had to “opportunity” to attend the Frank Kratovil dog and pony show in Salisbury yesterday.  As Yogi Bera said – it was deja vu all over again.  I thought that I was having a flashback from the John Kerry for President campaign.  We were treated to Kratovil’s having opposed the federal bailout before he supported it and Kratovil again stated his support for amnesty for illegal aliens.

For purposes of disclosure, yesterday’s show was a Young Dem event.  This was NOT mentioned in the press release I received regarding the event.  Had Kratovil’s campaign been honest about the event I wouldn’t have raised a stink about it yesterday.  Of course, I doubt any media would have showed up either.  Kratovil’s release made the event appear as if it was an SU event.

But I digress.  Sen. Barbara Mikulski got up and did her duty for party and the liberal cause.  She explained to the group of students that they all needed to get out and work for Barack Obama and Frank Kratovil.  As usual, she was pretty impressive.  I don’t agree with Sen. Mikulski on much, but I have always admired her constituent service and her willingness to take a stand.

The Bloom Is Off of the O’Malley Rose

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley was once a rising young star among the liberal elite. That no longer appears to be the case.

Accustomed to being treated like left-wing royalty, O’Malley has no real part to play in this week’s Democrat National Convention. While Marylanders Barbara Mikulski, Steny Hoyer, Chris Van Hollen and Elijah Cummings all have speaking roles, O’Malley has been relegated to the role of average delegate.

Why? O’Malley justifies the cool breeze because of his early support for Sen. Hillary Clinton. Perhaps. It is more likely because O’Malley is an unpopular Democrat governor in one of the bluest of blue states.

The Re-Packaging of a Boondoggle

Salisbury Mayor Barrie Tilghman’s “State of the City” address on Monday provided us with a glimpse of how a truly devious mind works. For several years Tilghman and her “Dream Team” promoted the idea of a revitalization of the “North Prong” area of the city. The unstated goal has seems to be the gentrification of the West Side of Salisbury. To those of you not familiar with the term, gentrification usually has the end affect of driving the poor black folks (and Latinos) out and replacing them with nice, well coiffed white folk.

To date Tilghman and her minions have been unsuccessful in their pursuit. Their desire to subsidize developers through a Community Development Corporation (CDC) have been a bust. Too many of the unwashed see it for what it is (a bureaucratic boondoggle designed to consolidate Tilghman’s power while funneling city funds to her friends). The state has, so far, refused to fund Tilghman’s attempts to push a large portion of the minority community out of the city. Oh, what to do?

To get around this little problem Tilghman has devised a brilliant solution! The North Prong project is no long an economic development issue. It is now an “environmental disaster”! Tilghman is now seeking federal funds, with the help of Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), and Rep. Wayne Gilchrest (?-MD). Read more
