I have spent a lot of time lately taking apart, the so called strategy of Bob Mitchell, in his misguided primary challenge of 35th Representative Dave Wilson. So I thought I would take a moment to show why I support Rep. Wilson. The following is a list of just some of the votes Rep. Wilson has cast, which I and many others in the 35th District support.

House Veterans Affairs

Endorsed a DEMOCRAT for Sussex county Recorder of Wills….I believe you forgot that one, Frank. It’s why Dave Wilson will not win.
We need more Sussex Council persons who believe a man’s land is a man’s land where rezoning is an entitlement and runoff restrictions to protect the inland bays are an unacceptable intrusion of property rights.
Oops, wrong rant
We missed you Pat. Now memorize the following:
Register of Wills
Recorder of Deeds
Clerk of the Peace
Sheriff
Dave Wilson will win.
He is popular among Democratic Conservatives. Bob Mitchell hasn’t found or gained that very important link to win his campaign against him. If Dave Wilson was to change party affiliation to the Democratic Party and run on their platform, he would win because he has that much of their support.
Yeah Pat, you’re right, the last thing we need are people with integrity. People who support the person they feel is best qualified, party be damned. As shown above, Dave’s votes are what qualify him as conservative and Republican, not the letter behind his name. I’ll take that every time over shallow opportunistic rhetoric.
So, speaking of shallow opportunistic rhetoric, how about that Rose Izzo again this year?
Wilson is crooked
Dave Wilson is a nice man, a consistent conservative and a good elected official and Cindy Green is a nice woman, a consistent conservative and a good elected official.
All of you need to meet at 16 Mile for a Beer Summit.
Move Delaware forward.
“Say No To Wilson” , what’s your evidence of that, or are you just repeating MOB rhetoric?
And Sad Face, not sure the MOB allows the drinking of beer.
Sleazebirds of a feather flock together.
This is the same Dave Wilson who told everybody registering a will that law required an appraiser when it in fact did not and who then steered and suckered them to an expensive appraisal firm that he had a direct interest in for a nice fat profit. Now, he wants to steal the People’s right to vote for their county Register of Wills in favor of an appointed state office. Next thing you know, the Clerk of Peace, Sheriff and Recorder of Deeds offices will be stolen in the State’s power and money grab.
What’s in it for you, Frankie?
You ain’t nothin’. You never was nothin’ and you ain’t never gonna be nothin’ but a KC Dirtball Transplant.
Knotts, when you talk about integrity, most of the rest of Delaware is laughing out loud as you are, without a doubt, the filthiest Blogscumbagger in the First State. A man is known by the company he keeps. The same applies to tapeworms and cockroaches. its no mystery that you and your G.O.B. Bbuddies support and wallow in public corruption and crap up the GOP. To put it mildly, you and the rest of Delaware Right stink worse than pig manure.
It’s not too late for the voters to throw your egg-suckin’ dawg political hack buddies out of office.
“This is the same Dave Wilson who told everybody registering a will that law required an appraiser when it in fact did not and who then steered and suckered them to an expensive appraisal firm that he had a direct interest in for a nice fat profit. ”
That’s a heck of an accusation, and an accusation of that level of corruption requires proof. So let’s have it.
“the People’s right to vote for their county Register of Wills”
Did you say that out loud before you posted it?
Matador I appreciate that you at least attempt to hide you real reason for commenting here, which is to call me names, by attacking Dave Wilson.
Do you have proof of what you say, or are you just repeating the the Greenwood MOB and Cindy Green talking points? These things were investigated by the AG’s office , which by the way is held by the opposing party. One would think they would have taken any opportunity to take out such a conservative Republican?
Damn right, Knotts. You are wondering why you are called names? You routinely spread lies and manure on the internet, but when you or one of your cronies gets a dose of your own medicine , you bitch and moan and play the victim. We don’t care if you like Trump or not as your influence is virtually zero. You are SCUM, a RINO, a rat, a lowlife, a coward and a politically useless punk. Even your Democrat buddies are laughing behind your back.
When Donald Trump kicks Hillary’s fat Benghazi-stained ass and wins the election, maybe you can take your queue from some of the celebtards who said that they will leave the country. It’s bad enough that we have to look at your ugly face at our county committee meetings. You and Grossman stink up the room every time you walk in. If you don’t like the GOP, get the hell out and form your own damn party!
Matador, you are welcome for having this forum to hurl your insults. As for the monthly meetings, well I hope to be attending tonight. Please feel free to introduce yourself and insult me in person. I look forward to it. And as for leaving the GOP? No, it is leaving me. I am just baring witness to its death. Trump may be the final stab, but it is a death of a thousand cuts.
And as for leaving the GOP? No, it is leaving me.
Yes, it is leaving you and the rest of the country club cross-the-aisle back-slapping appeasers who gave us a $19T deficit and care only about their next re-election.
“You are SCUM, a RINO, a rat, a lowlife, a coward and a politically useless punk.”
Frank, I’m not all that familiar with Republicans. These are the ones that think they have the inside track with Jesus, right?
Yeah Rick, I’m country club😂.
And yes Fishbites. And I was so disappointed last night at the monthly meeting, Matador did not introduce themselves to me. What a shame.
Yeah Rick, I’m country club.
You belong to the Bridgeville Putt-Putt league, don’t you?
I was referring to country club politicians- career parasites like Boehner and McConnell.
Rick says, “I was referring to country club politicians- career parasites like Boehner and McConnell.”
I’m sorry Rick I didn’t know they were running in Delaware this year.
Sadly, they are not running in Delaware this year, Frank.
As much as we have tried to recruit candidates to primary against Senator Christine O’Donnell’s wildly popular incumbent stranglehold, then the country climbers like you will just have to deal with it.
