You don’t know what you’re talking about.

It’s more like the same ones who nominated Christine O’Donnell turned against her even though she was once good enough to run against Biden.

You a Castle supporter and lie just like one.

NRA-PVF Endorses Christine O’Donnell for U.S. Senate in Delaware’s Republican Primary

http://www.nrapvf.org/news/Read.aspx?ID=14227&T=1

The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is endorsing Christine O’Donnell for election to the U.S. Senate in Delaware’s September 14th Republican primary.

“We can count on Christine O’Donnell to defend the Second Amendment freedoms of Delaware’s law-abiding gun owners, hunters and sportsmen.”

Christine O’Donnell’s commitment to preserving the Second Amendment has earned her an “AQ” rating and endorsement from the NRA-PVF.

Wagoner and Bonnini’s great sin is that they are running their own races and not endorsing Odonell.

They're not burning up the air waves endorsing Castle either.

Castle's NOT a candidate's friend.

Excellent detailed analysis of the demos of Delaware.

But you’re wrong about Sussex County being the biggest county in any state west of the Mississippi.

Some counties in Maine are larger than all of Delaware, and are nearly unpopulated.

Delaware 1,954 square miles

Maine counties
Washington 3,255 square miles pop: 33,941
Hancock 2,351 square miles pop: 51,791
Penobscot 3,556 square miles pop: 144,919 (contains Bangor)
Aroostook 6,829 square miles pop: 73,938 (Aroostook is the largest county east of the Miss R)
Piscataquis 4,377 square miles pop: 17,235
Somerset 4,095 square miles pop: 50,888

You know I read something about Sussex county being the largest something or other east of the Mississippi but obviously I am wrong.

Thank you for the correction and the time you took to provide the correct data.

I’m pretty new to Maine, have worked in Delaware.

It’s always interesting to me how many huge counties with almost no people there are in Maine.

Half of the area of Maine has no local government. Unincorporated townships.

There are areas the size of Delaware that have no people at all.

I don’t know much about Alaska, but it’s probably just like that, but 100x more.

I shall strongly suggest to Cornyn who, often unfortunately, is my Senator, that they need to reevaluate their policies if this be the case. They need to stay out of primary races. This year it has provided further demonstration of the fact that our RINO’s are continuing their habit of not paying attention to those that pay their salaries!

The more things appear to change the more they stay the same!

The Republicrats will never do what is best for America, but they will do what is best for their clubbies.

As soon as Buckley endorsed the weasel Carter’s brilliant scheme to hand over the Panama Canal to ‘Panama’ (which didn’t even exist at the time our men were slogging it out doing the seemingly impossible.) I canceled my subscription to NR.

I guess being in DE you know more baout it. It’s tough because Castle is pretty much a lock to take the seat and O’Donnell is pretty much a lock not to. Whatever the %, Castle has a far, far greater chance of winning in the fall. Although, perhaps now neither of them really has a good chance since the primary could leave some bad feelings.

I can totally see that if O’Donnell wins Castle refuses to endorse her, tells all his supporters to stay home or vote Coons and the dems hold the seat. I could also see enough conservatives who may have been ok with Castle in the spring now no longer ok and they would stay home.

I don’t have a major problem with Castle in that at worst he’s another Snowe or Collins or Specter, and even at their worst, they were better than having a dem in the seat.

At the same time, can I really see Castle providing teh 41st vote to sustain a filibuster, the 60th vote to break one, or the 51st vote to pass a bill on any really important conservative issue(say repealing Obamacare, a key tax vote, a key energy bill, a border security bill, confirming a conservative judge, a key foreign policy vote, etc...)? Not really.

In the end, given the opportunity to pick up a seat in a state that is deep blue I think this is one where Castle is worth taking the seat. I totally understand tose on the other side. In the end, Castle will probably win the primary and the general, but hopefully O’Donnell does well enough that it send a message and keeps the grassroots and conservatives and tea party folks energized and excited

You must not be aware that there’s a large number of Independents in Delaware that will vote for Christine in the general election.

Actually, it’s the other way around. Christine’s supporters will not vote for Castle if he wins the primary. You can blame that on the DE GOP Chairman. I won’t vote for any candidates endorsed by the DE GOP!

Too bad the Constitution doesn’t have a “Kicking out of the Union” proviso..

It does. Amendment 463(A) {The so-called Bunk Rump State Amendment}

I. "Any rump state smaller than a Texas County, which has the unmitigated chutzpah to send an ass-klown as typified by Joe Biden to Washington as a Senator, shall be removed from the Union and attached to the Government of Guatemala, to be operated as an autonomous province of that Republic, or another utility Third-World hell hole yet to be named. The star representing that state shall be removed from the US Flag and tattooed on the forehead of all elected officials of the rump state, who henceforth shall reside in the capital of Guatemala, having been transported there in a 1947 diesel Bluebird Schoolbus driven by an illegal alien from Mexico, with a bad DMV record."

Section 1. "Popular election of Senators is a bad idea. It must be ended immediately, and while the ass-klowns in state legislatures are being replaced or shot, Senators will be chosen by a duly constituted body of Mercedes Benz Service Managers until such time as the state legislatures are able to fulfill their constitutional duty and select Senators."

This historic, but for some reason ignored amendment must, must I say, get out of committee and be ratified immediately.

For me, it’s just an absolute DELIGHT to imagine the outrage in THEIR minds when they get thrown out of office. These people are so damned arrogant once they get in office, they forget those two magic words...

“PUBLIC SERVANT” - Emphasis on “SERVANT” We need to remind them at every opportunity that THEY are nothing more than the “hired help” and can be REPLACED.

They should be paid minimum wage too. These positions were NEVER supposed to be lifetime money-generators. This should be something we force an issue on. Term limits, and pay limits.

Nothing would please me more than to see Boehner (or whomever) walk up to Pelosi in January and say, “Bitch...you’re FIRED. Step ASIDE, Sit DOWN, and shut the hell up.” Followed by US Marshalls walking in and slapping the steel bracelets on her, and a quick frog march out of the House.

Won’t happen, but it’s a beautiful image, nonetheless. And after all...One can have “HOPE”, can’t one?

F**k ‘em all. I want my country back.

It is time We the People depose the “ruling class”

In the old days, they had a rock concert held in their honor, i.e. public stoning.
