Actually, he said it was capricious and destructive and he called Demint’s endorsement of O’Donnell irresponsible. Wow!

Its that kind of thinking that lead to McCain in 2008. Sometimes standing on principals counts more than which way the wind blows. Otherwise people, such as the so-called independents, won’t trust the party.

"He prefers sociopathic body servants to push his wheelchairs."

What's his wheelchair got to do with anything? I prefer numb skulls like you push up daisies as soon as possible, but that's not relevant to the current issue now is it?

Krauthammer may have jumped the Lutefisk...

Is that like jumping the scrod?

...if a Republican wins, the Rats could wake up on Nov. 3 facing dim prospects for their vaunted lame duck session...may be an added incentive to the people of DE to go with O’Donnell."

Great points that need to bear repeating - to ALL DE voters!

I didn’t know that. Truly stunning!

Krauthammer endorsing Castle is destructive and irresponsible.

I read the article. It's got elements of propaganda in it. That happens when the writer necessarily knows the whole story, in detail, and excises certain critical portions ~

I know the technique. I can use the technique.

Imagine this ~ writing excuses for Postal Service outrages for over 3 decades and NOT ONE TIME did anyone try to assassinate me ~ nor were there follow up complaints. You better believe I recognize the style.

The writers who are published in the Weekly Standard get into this sort of thing every primary election ~ so they cannot be trusted. They'd be more entertaining by standing aside and just discussing it rather than siding with anybody.

Read the article.

She is a scammer.

Ariana Huffington was once the most darling of all Conservatives... until she got where she could do some damage.

Read the article.

She is a scammer.

How do we know she is a Conservative? Because she says she is. How do we know Obama is a Christian, because he and the Rev. Wright say he is.... and they are willing to swear to it on a stack of Bibles.

Read the article.

“Love the Kraut. But when he is wrong, he is wildly wrong.”

Yes he has, however in the past he was man enough to admit it. We will see what happens this time.

Looks like I nailed that one right on the head.

Now, go back in your cell ~ we've had enough of your kind in government for a very long time.

Krauthammer is to Sarah Palin as Henry Higgins was to Eliza Dolittle: “Why can’t she be more like me?”

He is incapable of understanding - much less liking - a woman who can field dress a moose while running a state and raising five kids.

Krauthammer is an atheist/agnostic, and pro-abortion, that’s why he doesn’t like Palin or most social conservatives.

Krauthammer supported Moslem Obama (the undocumented one) in the last election.

My memory is precisely the opposite.

Kraut is a globalist Foreign Agent, and should register as such.

Krauthammer is a Democrat.

That's baloney. If he were a RAT, he'd be thrilled to have Christine as the nominee, since CW holds she would lose to Coons.

You failed tt answer my question. Do you know ANYTHING about Castle’s voting record? Let me educate you via Michelle Malkin. I seldom agree with Pissant on anything, but tonight he is correct: an axe murderer would be preferable to Castle:

AboutContactArchivesRSSColumnsPhotos Michelle Malkin Lead StoryThe DE Senate GOP primary: Castle, Soros & a health advisory
By Michelle Malkin • September 13, 2010 12:18 PM

On August 20, I endorsed Christine O’Donnell for the Delaware Senate GOP primary race. As I said on Sean Hannity’s TV show last week in repeating that endorsement, she is certainly far from perfect (who is?). But I think nine terms are enough for duck-and-hide, cap-and-tax liberal Republican Mike Castle — and it looks like GOP primary voters in Delaware are coming to the same conclusion as the primary looms tomorrow. I repeat: Entrenched incumbency is not an argument for more entrenched incumbency.

Castle’s campaign questions O’Donnell’s trustworthiness. GOP primary voters need to question Castle’s. He was just one of two Republicans to vote for the $26 billion Edujobs/BigGovJobs bailout a few weeks ago. He supported the TARP bailout that benefited many of his political donors. And he is the co-founder of the George Soros-tied Republican Main Street Partnership — which, as I reported in 2005, successfully pressured the House GOP majority to cave in to enviros on the ANWR drilling ban. The Republican Main Street Partnership PAC supports ACORN-friendly, Big Labor-backing, tax-and-spend, abortion radicals in GOP clothing like Dede Scozzafava.

This isn’t “Main Street.” This is the road to progressive hell. We already have one too many shady Soros Republicans in the Senate — and John McCain doesn’t need any more company.

As I noted a few weeks ago, the stakes are raised — not just for Delaware, but for the nation — in this race because this is a special election for VP Joe Biden’s Senate seat. The next Senator from Delaware will serve the remaining four years of Biden’s term. Which means he or she will be seated immediately after election and will be in place to vote in any lame duck Senate session. Cap-and-tax is on the table for this session. From his record and from his radical enviro associations, we know what Castle would do in the name of “Republican Main Street” values to screw over not only Delawareans, but all taxpayers.

Nine terms are enough.

Look, I think what many are saying including myself is that the article is a hit piece and cannot be trusted.

Mark Levin did some digging into the lawsuit O’Donnell filed and determined it had merit. In regards to financial troubles, is that now a disqualification for running for office? If so, only the Elite need run.

Is O’Donnell an unknown? To some extent, yes. Is Castle an unknown? No, I think it’s quite apparent what he is....A Republican in Name Only.

>>> Anyone who mentions Krauthammer’s disability is way off base.

Tingly-legged cultists do not tolerate blasphemers. Bad luck for Krauthammer as he and his wheelchair get pushed under the bus by the righteous.

>>> Do you know ANYTHING about Castle’s voting record?

Just What Is Mike Castle’s Voting Record? (Without the histrionics)
