This is cool -- the Daily News now has a blog for my own corrupt and contented Delaware County. In a shocking development, it's called TheDailyDelco.
My first impression? You think Attytood is opinionated (and maybe a tad self-righteous) -- check out when Brother Bill Bender gets wound up -- about the Tea Party and transparency:
Tea party groups from southeastern Pennsylvania are hosting a Republican candidates’ forum tonight at the Quality Inn Conference Center in Montgomeryville. It’s being billed on tea party Web sites as “an evening of frank discussion between the Tea Party Coalition and those candidates who seek our votes for public service.”
Then there’s this: “The entire event is OFF THE RECORD as we expect a forthright but respectful conversation. No recording or video devices will be permitted.” What?
There’s a time and place for off the record, but this clearly ain’t it, with a major election less than two months away. Why can’t the candidates be on the record and “frank” simultaneously, so the rest of the electorate can hear what they have to say?
I could not have said it any better myself.
do you think Obama considered his remarks "on the record" when he said this to the AFL-CIO: "I happen to be a proponent of single payer universal health care plans. . . A single payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. And that's what I'd like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately."— Bud Fox- hey, at least the tea party says it's off record. I rather have them admit that than have say chicago politicians meet behind close doors to discuss their...um...business.— palmyra21
Welcome to The System, Tea Party.
Clever, and probably the only way the candidates would agree to appear. After all, what sane GOP candidate really wants the rest of the electorate to see him having to pander to these wackos?
I hope someone taped all the open and transparent meetings the Democrats had during the healthcare debate. I'd like to see those.— jmc

- LOL, apparently our wankers agree that the baggers do have something to hide from the electorate.
The first post in a Delco blog you mention is whining about the Tea Party in Montgomery County?— Mr. Smith- Comment removed.
- How 'bout the SC Dem Rep who demanded no cameras or recordings at a debate? http://www.midlandsconnect.com/news/story.aspx?id=507353 And why the heck is a Delaware county blog worried about Montco?— RG
- Bag o cheese beat me to it.— RG
- Too funny. But understandable. Look what happens every time Wailin' Palin opens her pie hole. No wonder they don't want it recorded.— CiceroSpuriousDeodatus
- Off the record. Hm. Isn't that kind of like how Obamacare came about? That was even more than "off the record" though. That was done behind closed doors.— Refounder
