Republican Congressman, Mike Castle, doesn't support repealing ObamaCare. He is running for Joe Biden's old US Senate seat this November. All polls show Castle has a huge lead over any Democrat. Delaware conservatives need to join together to defeat this RINO in the primaries!
Delaware politics: Castle won't join GOP effort to repeal health law Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware voted with other Republicans against health care reform legislation, but he isn't joining his party's call to repeal the bill.
I received this message in an email from Castle's conservative opponent, Christine O'Donnell.
Mike Castle, RINO candidate for the Senate in Delaware, just thumbed his nose at you, America's patriots. He said he opposed efforts like mine to repeal ObamaCare as futile.The AP broke a major story not even 24 hours ago:
"While this president is in office, repealing this full law is not realistic and not the best use of our efforts," he said in a statement.
Trust me, if we keep sending Mike Castle-types to the Senate nothing will ever change. But if we send enough people like me, then sooner rather than later everything will start changing . . . for the better.
We - you and I - want our America back, but I need your help!
About repeal of the health bill, my opponent Castle is saying we should wave a white flag. No, we need to unfurl our American flags and help lead a national crusade to end ObamaCare . . . and end the assault on our liberties.
When the Lords of the Backroom - the career politicians in Washington - are shoving a rancid health bill down our throats, Mike Castle's timid response is, "Well, let's just swallow it."
My response is far different. I say kick down those backroom doors, shine a bright light on the corrupt people inside, and spit out this abomination of a health bill.
I pledge to follow the example of true Republicans leaders like Jim DeMint and Judd Gregg. I will help them drive a stake through the heart of the health bill monster.
Unlike Castle, I will never surrender. I will never accept this travesty known as ObamaCare.
I will vote to repeal and replace!
Mike Castle has rarely met a special interest group he won't sell out to. In my case, I reply on you, American patriots, for the donations I need to fight the battle to repeal healthcare . . . and to oppose the rest of Obama's socialist agenda.
I'm a proven vote-getter among Delaware Republicans. If you help me, I can beat Mike Castle, and he knows it. He's running scared.
Help me to help our country survive this liberal onslaught against our freedom. I promise I will never - not in this lifetime - let you down.
Take a stand with me today. We will fight this until the end.
When is the Delaware Republican primary?
September 14
Wonder how much money the RNC is funnelling into his campaign ....
I can tell you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, they aren’t getting a penny from me.
Ping!
Much later in the year (don’t know exactly when) but I can tell you the first hurdle is their Republican convention in May. Hopefully enough delegates will vote for O’Donnell to give her a good showing. She probably can not win because there are too many liberal Republicans in Delaware, especially Wilmington, and the Republican machine is behind Castle. But a less than unanimous showing for him at the convention could be helpful to her. Sussex County should help.
Thanks for the ping!
vote him out

I don’t have a problem with his saying there’s no way the full bill will be repealed as long as Obama is in office. He’s right. There’s no way the repubs will have a veto proof or filibuster proof majority after the November elections. 2012 on the other hand will hopefully increase our pending majority and bring in a Republican Conservative President. Then we repeal the full bill and replace it.
Ping!
I disagree. Even without veto-proof majories in the House and Senate, simple majorities could defund HRC, and should.
Good point. We use the reconciliation process to defund it. For some reason I was thinking a bill would have to be approved and sent forward for the residents signature.
What's to argue with there? He's right -- it would be a symbolic measure at best. Next year, a GOP majority in both houses will be able to slow things down, mostly be funding this c**p at $0, but it'll take until 2013 before repeal is a serious option.
My tagline says it all: De-fund Obamacare in 2011, repeal in 2013!
See comment 10.
Even the most RINO members of the senate want it repealed. Any “republican” who supports this bill is an outright liberal.
Sorry. I meant see comment 12.
Thanks for the ping - I already sent it to Bill Colley @ WGMD. He is on-air right now till 7pm will see if he opens it up for discussion.
