The ‘Old Goat’ Castle is senile!
Friday, I got a letter from Castle (using his franking privilege) saying that he signed on as a co-sponsor of Wally Herger’s bill to repeal health care law - “Common Sense Health Care Reform and Affordability Act (H.R. 4038)”
Well, not quite...
Seems he is a bit confused - he actually signed on as co-sponsor of Herger’s H.R. 5424 - “Reform Americans Can Afford Act of 2010”
Putting aside his using our tax dollars to send out campaign motivated correspondence, this is the same guy who claims he reads the bills - including when 300+ pages are released only 2 hours before voting. I have zero confidence in his statements, and his competence.
Whatever the reasons (senility, strokes, etc.) it is time to retire Mike Castle!
I think the logical solution (as Christine O’Donnell suggests) is to defund immediately and repeal when possible. That IS possible (with a Republican controlled house in January) whereas overriding a Presidential veto is not.
