Krauthammer got it wrong! Castle was part of the problem, not part of the solution. Go along to get along in DC is what got us huge deficits, out of control spending, and government growth regardless of which party was in control.
If Republicans win and then proceed to bargain with the left we gain nothing while the DC establishment continues to grow government. We will still be headed in the same general direction just not as fast. We need to slam on the brakes and Castle seems more comfortable with the big spenders.
And I respect and understand your opposite view, eggman.
Irony, from Charles.
I liked the part where he was saying that in some other year you could afford to go with a conservative candidate instead of a liberal but NOT THIS YEAR. This election this year is too important.
I've been voting quite a few years, and I don't remember a time yet where these people weren't telling me I had to eat a crap sandwich. Maybe some year I could have a hamburger instead of having to swallow crap again, but NOT THIS YEAR. This election is TOO IMPORTANT.
That a Republican House could block the worst stuff Obama could come up with isn't relevant. That 40 solid conservatives in the Senate could prevent cloture on the same stuff isn't relevant. No. What's important to Charles is 51 votes, even if a bunch of them will side with the Democrats on anything more critical than the naming of some highway or building.
