Hmm. Well this is odd. It’s like the state-run media is intentionally hiding this report to protect democrat Chris Coons.

Certainly they wouldn’t stoop that low, would they?



Chris Coons was sued three times in 2007 for retaliating against public employees for their political views.

While the state-run media was out smearing conservative Christine O’Donnell in Delaware they forgot to get around to this.

>>>First Amendment says “Separation of church and state.” It certainly doesn’t say anything about free speech.<<<

You are being sarcastic, right?

CHRISTINE, check this out.

Delaware voters are entitled to know if Chris Coons has financial designs on taxpayers and if Chris Coons intends to use a Senate seat to aide his cronies as he did with his New Castle County executive job.

Candidate Chris Coons Voted To Open A Pension Loophole That Would Have Allowed County Employees To Buy Into The Pension System, Or To Transfer Credit From Other Government Service. Forget taxpayers----Chris Coons Saw To It That His Buddies And Top Staff People — And All Six Of The New County Council Members And Their Staffs — Were Grandfathered Under The state pension Loophole Which Has, And Will, Cost Taxpayers Millions Of Dollars.

In 2004, while campaigning to become New Castle County’s top executive, Dem Chris Coons promised not to raise taxes. Since then he has raised taxes three times.

Are Coons' Delaware political cronies pocketing state pensions double dippers, working in government jobs, and/or collecting other government checks, like disability? (Like Bell, Cali scammers did?)

=========================================

Does the New Castle County executive handle the county's insurance? EXAMPLE In federal court Monday, an insurance broker (in another state) colluded with officials in a massive bribery scheme:

-- Padding insurance contracts by $500,000 to $600,000 a year;

-- Several hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits from the insurance broker were funneled to the officials in exchange for support of the insurance contracts;

-- The purchase of an apartment as a favor to one official;

-- About $8,000 a month in payments to the official to keep the insurance contacts going;

-- A $20,500 Rolex woman's watch given to the official as a gift to an unnamed district employee;

-- A $35,800 Rolex men's watch was given to the official;

-- The insurance broker paid various personal expenses of the official, including the pay down of a $20,000 home equity line of credit; $12,747 in appliances; $5,850 for a plumber; and $13,592 to buy appliances for a relative.

-- The insurance broker was charged with stealing $216,000 from the muni for a nonexistent wellness program for muni workers. ...........the insurance broker is alleged to have lied to the school's insurance carrier, falsely stating that the muni authorized the insurance carrier to pay fees on behalf of the muni from its medical claims bank account for health care related programs and services that never existed. Charges including money laundering, conspiracy, forgery and theft by deception.

No surprise that the Wilmington News Journal - official organ of the RAT party - would not report this. Like Coons, they never heard about a “free press”, which is to publish the news, not suppress it.

I was being sarcastic... Geez!

FReepers love to jump on newbies. They see a troll under every newbie post.

In this case, if you don't want to use sarc tags, something like "as we all just found out, the First Amendment is about separation of church and state..."

That might give them a clue as to the sarcasm ;)

Not surprised the Marxist Coons doesn’t know the First Amendment. Democrats don’t believe in free speech. That’s why they restrict it on college campuses to “free speech zones”.

“Christine needs to make an ad about this, prontissimo.”

Right on. It's now or never to go for the jugular.

“Also, I am surprised Fiorina did not pull an add against Boxer with the treason code pink aiding the enemy in Irak.”

Say it ain’t so, Carly.

I sure hope the Fiorina team is just slow to get out a hard-hitting ad instead of letting this pass by.

First Amendment says “Separation of church and state.” It certainly doesn’t say anything about free speech.

My God.... you are so wrong I am astounded. Your mama should slap your face and you should sue every teacher you ever had.

Thanks Gondring - well stated.

IANAL either, and by far from the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I know these type of suits are never clean-cut, and both sides whitewash the opinion. Seems AD’s cover has little pigment, and COD doesn’t need it.

(Disclosure: I contributed to and support COD)

It is scary that so many people thought I was serious. They say that a good joke must have an element of truth in it. The fact that so many think somebody can be that stupid/biased says a lot about certain elements (Democrats, public schools) in our country.
