TEA PARTY EXPRESS ENDORSES CHRISTINE O’DONNELL

FOR U.S. SENATE – DELAWARE

The Tea Party Express (website: www.TeaPartyExpress.org) is pleased to announce its endorsement of Christine O’Donnell for U.S. Senate in Delaware.

O’Donnell is battling liberal Republican Congressman Mike Castle for the GOP nomination.

“Christine O’Donnell has established a reputation as a strong voice for conservative constitutionalist principles consistent with the ideals of the tea party movement,” said Amy Kremer, Chairman of the Tea Party Express and one of the founding activists of the modern tea party movement.

In contrast, Mike Castle has proven himself to be one of the most liberal establishment Republicans who has repeatedly turned against conservatives and those in the tea party movement.

“We’re so excited to see the strength behind Christine O’Donnell’s campaign,” said Joe Wierzbicki, Coordinator for the Tea Party Express.

“We long ago announced our intention to hold Mike Castle accountable for his failed record in Congress, and now we have an excellent shot to make sure he is defeated by a solid conservative candidate,” Wierzbicki said.

A recent Rasmussen Reports poll shows O’Donnell polling ahead of Democrat candidate, Chris Coons by a 41%-39% margin.

During the Tea Party Express’ first national bus tour, Wierzbicki declared to CNN and other media outlets that Castle was one of the worst-offenders who needed to be defeated by the tea party movement.  The CNN report can be found online here:  http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/09/08/tea-party-express-takes-aim-at-lawmakers/?fbid=iwlPMpEotVu

The Tea Party Express has been one of the leading tea party organizations impacting the 2010 elections.  The Tea Party Express helped propel Sharron Angle to the Republican nomination against Harry Reid (spending over $550,000 and providing her a massive boost in the polls).  The Tea Party Express similarly supported Utah Senate Republican primary victor, Mike Lee, as well as Massachusetts Republican Senator, Scott Brown – with over $350,000 spent in that race alone.

The Tea Party Express also launched a $250,000 “Defeat Bart Stupak” campaign and tea party rallies in Congressman Bart Stupak’s district immediately prior to his decision to resign from Congress.

Additionally the Tea Party Express supported Kentucky Republican Senate nominee, Rand Paul, and worked to defeat Pennsylvania Senate candidate Arlen Specter (first as a Republican and then as a Democrat) as well as working to defeat West Virginia Democrat Alan Mollohan.< /P>

Below a post I made to the Sunday Talk Show thread yesterday.

Some of it might not make sense in the context of this thread but I think y'all will get the gist.

=======

Mary responds to my assertion upthread that the upcoming Delaware senatorial race between Mike Castle The RINO and, if he wins the pub nom, Coons, a Democrat. Christine O'Donnell is running against Castle for the pub nomination. The Delaware GOP, entrenched Blue Bloods all, enamored of Du Pont, went ahead and RE-NOMINATED Castle although the guy voted FOR Cap and Trade, something that not even the bluest of bloods can justify as good in any way for Delaware. Castle and that Vietnam guy were the only two House pubs who voted for that monstrosity, about to come up for a vote Tues so I hear, that will effectively legislatively over-rule the recent Supreme Court ruling on campaign speech by companies.

Castle also voted FOR Tarp, AGAINST the Iraq surge. He votes with the Dems 80% of the time. There's a groundswell here in Delaware to get rid of the guy and that's what my past week has been filled with. I always seem to get in the middle of these things even though I am just walking down the street and chewing gum.

I hope y'all can read between the lines cause I got to be very vague. They follow me everywhere.

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not after me, if you get my drift.

Now Christine O'Donnell, a lady who I know VERY well, and have through the years. She's a devoted Christian and has ran several times. Last general election she did get nominated by the blue blood GOP cause she was running against Biden and the GOP knew no one would beat Plugs. Still, O'Donnell got more votes running against Biden than anyone EVER did in the past. Christine has also ran on write-in votes and did win in one county that way. Delaware only has 3 counties, bear in mind, one of them the biggest this side of the Mississip. That is also an impressive feat.

Below a pic of my granddaughter with Christine.

Anyhow, let me first explain WHY this upcoming little Delaware race is sooooo important, more important than any other senatorial race coming up this November.

Whoever wins Delaware's senatorial seat will be SEATED IMMEDIATELY!

That's right. Cause this vote is to replace Biden and the winner will ascend to the senate the day after any victory.

So we got a Lame Duck congress coming up, right? Y'all have heard the story about nefarious plans to slip through a liberal agenda during that lame duck session, right? Cause the libs and Communists now running the ship of state into the ground know that it'll be a loooong time before they get any kind of power again.

If Mike Castle wins that senate seat, folks he's going to make the Maine sisters look like Rush Limbaughs by the time he gets done.

Again, us savages living here in the swamps of Delaware want to get rid of Castle and until the Biden thing, he was scheduled to retire after graciously serving as Delaware Governor for two terms and in the House, as Delaware's ONLY Representative there, Del being the only state with more senators than reps, for eight years or so.

But the Du Pont GOP in this state decided that only Castle had enough name recognition to wrest the senatorial seat away from the Dems although, technically, Mike Castle IS a Dem.

Imagine that! The Gop, our own Republican party, nominated this guy AFTER that awful Cap and Trade vote...how the hell can they sleep at night? Not only that, but by putting Castle in the Senate they're giving him all that power during a lame duck session when the guy, go with me here, CANNOT be trusted. Power he'll now have for SIX YEARS and as one out of a hundred. When he was in the House he at least faced the voters every two years and was only 1 out of 490+.

The REPUBLICAN PARTY FOLKS!

Screwing us always and always and always.

Now there's lots of stories I'll share about local goings on but wanted to get the big story out there. FreeRepublic is a big forum on this Internet. Hot Air started covering the O'Donnell/Castle race. Mark Levin got on the air about two weeks ago.

Christine has been interviewed and is being vetted by the Palin people. If every anyone deserved a Palin endorsement it's Christine....seriously, she is one of the sweetest and most sincere females...a true conservative and she hangs in there though the Blue Bloods, the Du Pont devotees, smack her down silly every time.

So we need to get this into a national campaign. Remember, the Delaware GOP spit in our faces and nominated that awful Castle despite that vote on Cap and Trade. To thank them, Castle then was the only House pub to vote for that assault on our freedom of speech, just recently.

The Delaware GOP nominated this guy again!

And oh I got stories...stories on them all. I know so much I scare even myself.

For the republican party...they want to hold onto their power. They don't necessarily care about the teeming masses, folks. Castle's got power and Castle's got money.

We're fighting tooth and nail here in Delaware but if I did nothing else...at least I put it all in writing.

>> the Delaware GOP spit in our faces

You never hear good things about local GOP.

We’re arguably in this mess because of the spawn that surfaces from local GOP.

Game Changer?

No, it’s the same game as last week. Castle was never going to be endorsed by any T.E.A. organization and it was inevitable that Christine would be.

It’s news, It’s publicity, it’s good for Christine, but it’s not a game changer.
