Question... if your assertion regarding Castle and the pledge is wrong... will you have the honesty to retract? Or is lying in some situations OK? I have already identified Castle's vote on H.R. 2028, and he supported the Pledge Protection Act. Has Congress actually held a vote on removing God from the pledge? If so, why can't this mythical vote be located? Is lying OK?

I apologize, I misquoted the O'Donnell campaign. They assert your guy Castle, "Voted to allow liberal activist judges to strip “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance." So, do you take back calling me a liar?

No, you made a bold assertion that was unsupported by fact. You claimed that Castle voted "to remove "Under God" from the pledge." This was not true. (No such vote has every been taken in Congress.

There have been votes to remove Federal Court Jurisdiction over the Pledge (using Congress' power under Article III of the Constitution.) H.R. 2028, was one bill that did this, and as I showed you, Castle voted FOR H.R. 2028.

You seem to think that Castle voted against H.R. 2389. You are incorrect.

In reality, Castle voted IN FAVOR of 2389.

The Roll Call vote is here.

Can you figure out where you went wrong?
