Well I'm not going to respond to your bait about sexism. I'm moving on.

I will take this opportunity to tell you my Mike Castle story. Mike Castle is a RINO Rep who is President of the Main Street Republicans...paid for by Soros.

Now I've often read you folks going on about RINOS and why do states keep electing them. And I've learned a bit about how it all goes down via Mike Castle, Delaware's ONLY Rep in the House.

Two years ago Castle voted AGAINST drilling in ANWR. This angered me, his constituent. I complained to the Republican party and they said they NEEDED Mike Castle. So I voted for him.

Just recently, Castle voted in FAVOR on federal funding for embronic stem cell research.

Folks, there's just no reason for this, no reason at all. Embryonic stem cell research is in no way, shape or form ANY issue that a Republican would endorse. First, pubbies should be discouraging the spending of federal monies. Second, pubbies should be going FAR away from any sort of experimentation on embryos.

So when is enough, enough? I forgave him ANWR although there was no excuse for it...drilling on our own land for God's sake, and no caribou would have cared a whit.

But voting to take my tax dollars to grow a handsome embryo somewhere so we can harvest its parts?

Nope, for ME, THIS was the line. RINO Castle overstepped it.

Of course I was not alone. Almost every other nobody pubbie like me who bothered to attend the meeting came specifically TO COMPLAIN about Mike Castle. Yet the Republican party tells us...."please, we NEED Mike Castle."

Well I no longer NEED Mike Castle no more than I've vote for Hitler if he was a Republican. Dear Lord, we all have some limit on who we'll put in power, don't we? Don't we?

So Castle's Aid was there and she read all of us Sussex county herding cat Republicans the riot act. "It's best to give a little," she told us angry ones, "in order to please the ENTIRE state."

So how is the entire state pleased when I, for one, am damned unhappy?

We have a line, folks. One by one by one these Republicans keep crossing the line. I've made my decision....I'd rather the party be OUT of power than to be IN power to keep a selected few fat and happy. In neither case am I all that happy but at least with the hypocrites OUT of power I can yap, nip and nag at the party IN power.

She wasn't happy, folks and it wasn't just me beating her up. There's a grass-roots upheaval going on across the land and who knows, maybe it'll lead to good things.

Whoa! Fish, my tongue in cheek post about Rush and your reaction to his attempt at humor (failed or not) garnered this rant?

And you're declaring that you'd rather have Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in charge of the legislature and someone like Hillary Clinton in the White House in 2008 than one of the "tainted" Republicans who have so disappointed you? That is the inescapable conclusion from your statements in this post and that is simply WRONG.

I'm frankly disappointed to think that you would take this 100%er stance and cut off my nose to spite your face. That is a nihilistic and self destructive position, if that is in fact what you're saying. Please tell me I'm wrong.

Piss on the RINOs available to you and work to defeat them, I'll help, but don't turn your back on those that haven't done the things you say your own rep has done. He's your rep. Defeat him or move somewhere else. Don't work for a situation where my representative (Marsha Blackburn) or Senators (Alexander and Corker), who I generally approve of, have a harder time doing the things that need to be done.

And please don't take my lame attempt at humor in my last post as an attack. It was not meant as such and I apologize if you took it seriously. But also please refrain from the kind of invective that you've been directing at anyone that has challenged your position on what Rush was doing this last week. We need to be able to disagree without resorting to the kind of crude personal attacks that have been flowing all too freely today. When I did the awards last week I was most impressed by the ability we've developed to disagree without getting angry with each other. Please don't prove me wrong.
