Senator

As the tentacles of arose yet again this week to threaten Hillary Clinton, the media began to anoint a possible savior in the (unlikely) event she is breaking rocks at Leavenworth on election day. He’s “Martin O’Malley”, a former governor of Maryland. Before you latch onto this guy as the next big thing, here is a thumbnail bio (from Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_O'Malley
· Never held any national office. 2 terms as governor, and before that Baltimore’s Mayor
· Put Maryland taxpayers on the hook for college tuition for illegal aliens at state colleges
· He attended parochial school (teachers unions aren’t going to like THAT)
· He’s an attorney (of course) – University of Maryland Law School
· Malley has never worked in the private sector. His only jobs have been in gummint
· His f1st foray into politics was as a volunteer for the ill-fated campaign of Gary Hart
· He ran for mayor of Baltimore on a law and order platform, and defeated 7 other democrat primary opponents, all black. As mayor he delivered on his promise to separate Baltimore from its reputation as the "murder capital of america"
· While Mayor, O’Malley was the subject of vicious rumors of marital infidelity. The rumors were later tied to a website called “MD4Bush” (Maryland for Bush) and were ultimately traced back to democratic party official Ryan O’Doherty (no relation) as a political dirty trick to build up sympathy for O’Malley
· During his first term as governor, O’Malley raised Maryland taxes 14%, plus authorized a speed/red light camera system state-wide to fund additional spending on government programs.
· O’Malley closed the Jessup House of Corrections, one of the most abusive, horrific prisons in the nation
· O’Malley supports same sex marriage rights and opposes capital punishment, the same as this writer.
· Martin O’Malley has no positions/track record on foreign policy; use of the military; the federal deficit; global warming; free community college tuition for everyone; higher federal gas taxes; the public school dropout rate; doubling the minimum wage; or Iranian nuclear weapons
Full disclosure – Catherine Curran O’Malley (Martin’s wife) is a Baltimore city district judge. Her father was former Maryland Attorney General J. Joseph Curran. Log rolling alert!
