Now if we are honest with ourselves as conservatives, fully understanding what that means - dismantling centralized government control so that individuals are once again responsible for their own decisions and actions, while forcing any government activity down to the lowest possible scrutinized jurisdiction, individual, family, community, State, - could any one of us faithfully vote for Mike Castle, the Professional Politician?
Whether or not they admit it to themselves, or to us, Professional Politicians, predominantly lawyers, are in it to deceive us; to speak half truths, to spin their agenda's for cultivating votes, and tragically to not only think they really do know what's good for us, but willing to force that on us through police power. How obvious is it?
Mike Castle, is all of this. Not necessarily an evil individual, but through position and complacency an arrogant one. Acquired arrogance.
In NO way do I expect the people of Delaware to replace Mike Castle; I know them, they are far too selfish, cowardly, and feckless. But there is absolutely NO better example of the tragedy that is facing America than the re-election of just another Professional Politician who has accrued such arrogance that he becomes just another puppet Yes-Man of the Oligarchy.

I think you are mistaken. An incredibly small number of votes are needed to win a primary in this state. Castle's TV buys will mean nothing. They won't motivate the average Republican (the only ones who can vote) to actually get to the polls on September, 14. But believe me, pissed off Republicans will be there. Help her if you can. I am watching this unfold and I really believe she can kick his butt.
Then there's his opponent, who takes months to raise a few thousand dollars. But I have to wonder...how is she going to win a general election and make momentous decisions if she can't even do this...or pay her mortgage...or give specifics on things...or make proper FEC filings...or...?
