Why are these clowns so afraid to report on Coons?

Its reminiscent of the way the media treats Barky.

In 2004, when Coons first ran for the job, he promised not to raise taxes. Since then he has raised taxes not once, not twice, but three times.

Coons inherited a surplus. Celebrating victory on election night in 2004, he said his “top priority would be to continue balancing the budget without increasing property taxes,” according to an account in the local News Journal. Yet in 2006, he pushed through a 5 percent increase in property taxes. In 2007, he raised property taxes 17.5 percent. In 2009, he raised them another 25 percent.

Coons wanted to raise other taxes, too. He proposed a hotel tax, a tax on paramedic services, even a tax on people who call 911 from cell phones.

“He was able to restore New Castle County to fiscal responsibility.”

Well, not exactly. In January 2009, Coons warned the county might be headed for bankruptcy.

Now, on his campaign Web site, Coons expresses deep concern about the federal government’s “runaway debt.”

“He’s my pet,” says Harry Reid

with his record of raising taxes, has shown throughout his career that he would rather take orders and directives from Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid than do what is right for Delaware and the country,”

Christine sounds like a truly decent Christian person who cares deeply about her country and religious beliefs(for which our country was founded upon) She is being attacked by the great unwashed who have run our country for decades. We(true Americans)have had enough(I realized how corrupt the country had become during my service in the 60’s) Every president I lived under (from Ike to obamma)has disappointed me drastically. George W. could have given me a lot of hope after the 9-11 overt declaration of war on America, but he failed miserably with his overspending and failure to secure our borders(just to pacify certain voting blocks)
I have no idea how O'Donnell will vote and what she bills she may be able to present, but something must be done to turn this ship around while keeping our security as strong as it is.

Right! Coons is the communist, self avowed marxist with a beard...and yet they’re all over O’Donnell for stuff she’s cleared up in the past (her tuition and degree) and a couple other inadvisable items that I’d place under the broad folder of ‘she’s human’.

Her star is rising - time to MOVE ON DOT ORG!!
