He&#8217;s fired everyone who ever made a difference in the inner-city school districts and run any effective\u00c2\u00a0bureaucrats out of the city making Baltimore his private fiefdom.<\/p>\n<p>Further on in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washtimes.com\/metro\/20061021-115011-5954r.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Washington Times story<\/a>, the quotes from O&#8217;Malley supporters at another rally are staggering.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mrs. Gladden said she supports Mr. O&#8217;Malley&#8217;s bid for governor only because it would help his fellow Democrats regain power.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0&#8220;I have never voted for Martin O&#8217;Malley, never in my life, because I don&#8217;t care for him,&#8221; she said. &#8220;But you know what, I&#8217;m wearing his shirt, got his sign on the lawn, and quite frankly, I hope to God and I pray every day that O&#8217;Malley becomes our next governor.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s pretty bad. If I may paraphrase this moonbat&#8217;s quote; &#8220;Our guys an idiot and an incompetent moron for whom I&#8217;d never vote &#8211; except for purely political reasons. It doesn&#8217;t matter how much damage he does to the State, families or our children. He&#8217;s a Democrat so vote for him&#8221; But there&#8217; s even more;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I know politics better than you do. Support O&#8217;Malley,&#8221; Mrs. Glenn, a candidate in District 45, told the audience packed into a storefront room.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another paraphrase, if I may; &#8220;All you stupid idiots just vote the way I tell you.&#8221; It keeps getting better;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Focus on the seat,&#8221; said Mr. Tarrant, who likely will represent District 40. &#8220;We need the right Democrat in the seat. He can make the right selections.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The best guy we have is an idiot, but he can pick people who aren&#8217;t so much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At least we&#8217;ve got the Democrats recorded as being Democrats. They&#8217;re not so worried about putting the right people in office as they are about putting Democrats in office &#8211; whether they think those Democrats can do those jobs or not. It makes you wonder about the other seats across the country doesn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>It seems that Democrats are just running photogenic candidates who can talk sweet and stroke the crowds. But then, that&#8217;s nothing new, is it? This inside look of what Democrats are telling their party-faithful should pretty much wake up those indecisive independents, and it should drive the Republican voters to the polls who&#8217;ve vowed to sit this one out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, Maryland&#8217;s Republican\u00c2\u00a0Governor Robert Erlich campaigned with Baltimore Democrats who are discouraged with their own party&#8217;s &hellip; <a title=\"&#8220;I know politics better than you do.&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=26\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;I know politics better than you do.&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
