Christine O’Donnell, Conservative Republican from Delaware
RedState ^ | 5/25/10 | Bryan McCarthy

Posted on 05/25/2010 4:48:51 PM PDT by outofstyle

In 2008 Joe Biden won two elections; he was elected Vice President and he was also re elected to the U.S. Senate from Delaware. Opposing him in that election was conservative Republican Christine O’Donnell. It is both an obstacle and an opportunity for Ms. O’Donnell that many of those who voted for her in 2008 still do not know her. The votes she garnered then were mainly from those who were not buying the “hope & change” scam being peddled by Obama and Biden. At that time, not many voters had woken up to the fact that liberal Republicans were part of the problem. In political terms 2008 is light years behind us. The radical leftist transition that has occurred in this country as a result of the recent Democrat lock on power would not have been possible without the active cooperation, over many years, of career liberal politicians from both parties.

One of the most liberal Republicans in congress has been Rep. Mike Castle from Delaware. He has been a career politician since before Ms. O’Donnell was born. He voted for Nancy Pelosi’s cap and tax energy scheme and also voted for the job-killing minimum wage hike. He voted to increase the national debt and has consistently supported Washington’s reckless spending. Accordingly, he has voted for virtually every tax bill that has crossed his desk including the “death tax.” Mr. Castle is anti life. He has voted to subject children to out-of-state abortions without consent of parents, has voted to use U.S. funds to support Planned Parenthood at home and abroad, has supported human cloning, and sponsored the bill to destroy, exploit and experiment on unborn children. He voted with the Democrats for the federal bailouts and the government takeovers of private industry. Although he did ultimately oppose it, he remained undecided about Obama care until four days before the vote, and he has indicated that he would not work to repeal it.

Mike Castle is quite fond of entitlements. In fact, he now considers himself entitled to the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate. He has only two problems in this regard. Problem number one is an army of newly minted registered republican activists who have had enough of Mike Castle’s betrayals. Problem number two is a September, 14 Senate primary and Christine O’Donnell.

In contrast to Mike Castle, Christine O’Donnell is an unapologetic pro life conservative. She is on the right side of every issue that matters. She supports smaller government and lower taxes and the active roll back of recent socialist advances. She is opposed to an activist judiciary. She believes terrorism is an act of war and not a civil crime, and she believes in meaningful school choice. As U.S. Senator from Delaware, Christine O’Donnell would be a courageous conservative leader. She deserves the support of Delaware conservatives and the endorsement of leading national conservatives.

How can you be a moderate Republican in the face of this president?

It’s time to retire Mike Castle. Sign up to support Christine at http://www.christine2010.com

And join the fight against the most liberal Republican in the house, the HATED RINO Mike Newbold Castle at www.cscsociety.org. Help us take down the liberal RINO!

This could be a very big race. It’s a classic conservative tea party grass roots vs out of touch RINO GOP establishment race.

Every single one of the conservative endorsees should get behind her. DeMint, Palin are the most important I think. The people who support Castle are RINOs.

Castle is clearly a RINO that we do not want. O’Donnell is clearly in the Palin / Bachmann mold. We definitely want this O’Donnell in the Senate.

Let’s put it this way, put aside the politics of it. Do the Republicans want someone like Castle as a Senator - just looking at the picture. Or O’Donnell? We need more stars.
O’Donnell will be swapped in many 2012 lists here if she wins.

Palin/O’Donnell will be seen often. And she’d be taking hits that Palin would get.

The way to hype this race is to post threads on this race. People see a lot of stories, people respond to em, the visibility is raised. You seem to be a big supporter, more interested in this race than most. You should find those stories and post them. A good way to do that is through Google News. If you’re in Delaware you might be aware of local press there, they might run stories that don’t appear on Google News. If there’s a shortage of O’Donnell stories, you might think about making some. Start a blog, maybe? Get a webhost, one that has something like joomla preinstalled, configure it a bit, and you have a blog where you can just write O’Donnell stuff. And then post threads here with your blog as the story.

I’m here on this thread now because I was just on Google News trying to find info on O’Donnell. This very thread was linked to by a blog.

I would be extremely surprised if she backed Castle

“After she beats Castle she will be the biggest political story of the fall and she will chew up her corrupt Democratic opponent in November.”

Good call.

At the time it was written the "when" part may have been wishful thinking. But it was predictable that if she could pull it off, she would become a political rock star.

Thank you for your part in this.

You’re welcome.

With the wishful thinking, yeah, there are things that were necessary that are beyond control. What Sarah Palin does is up to Sarah Palin. What Tea Party Express does is up to Tea Party Express.
