Delaware Republicans Attack Tea Party Senate Candidate As Unelectable ‘Liar’

Washington (AP) - Delaware Republicans call Senate hopeful Christine O'Donnell a liar who "could not be elected dog catcher" in a fierce attack that underscores GOP fears of the tea party-backed candidate knocking off top recruit Rep. Mike Castle and winning the nomination.

Stunned by tea partier Joe Miller's upset of Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Republicans are taking no chances in Delaware, which holds its primary Sept. 14. The party sees Castle, the state's lone congressman since 1993, as the best candidate for the seat long held by Vice President Joe Biden.

Republicans circulated audio of a testy, 22-minute interview that O'Donnell had with radio station WGMD on Thursday. Party officials also have said she inflated her resume and made flat-out untrue statements while being dogged by questions about tax liens and foreclosures. Castle says she has misrepresented his record.

"She's not a viable candidate for any office in the state of Delaware," state Republicann Party Chairman Tom Ross, who is backing Castle, said in a telephone interview. "She could not be elected dog catcher."

Castle's campaign began running radio ads on Thursday and prepared negative television ads against O'Donnell. The radio ads cite a News Journal of Wilmington, Del., report on O'Donnell's finances and declares her "a financial nightmare."

"According to the News Journal, O'Donnell has become a professional candidate, living off contributions from her two failed campaigns," ...

RINOS only care about how large their share of the Loot will be if they get control. I would go for the T-Party. RINOS are useless in the long term. Just look at the Maine Twin RINOS.

Again, untrue. The truth is the "Maine Twin RINOS" do have some value. We need them to make a majority. The Tea Party effect is working. This is the perfect lesson on how to advance a conservative agenda. Primaries are a gift. Successes have been made. We work to get the best conservative candidates we can get out of the primaries and then VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN in the general election.

Let us celebrate the advances and build upon them.

This same article was posted a couple of days ago. The problem here is that it isn't just as simple a matter as "evil RNC RINOs vs. white knights in shining armour Tea Party candidate." The sad fact is that what the Delaware GOP is saying about O'Donnell are essentially true. She HAS been...irregular...with her taxes (and hey sister, if I gotta pay 'em, then you do to), she did run her own business on her employer's time and then sued for "gender discrimination" when she was rightly fired for it, and she did make several easily disproven claims (i.e. falsehoods, i.e. lies) on the radio, and then tried to claim that the radiomen were "on Castle's payroll" when they called her on them. She is unstable and has ethical problems.

I realise the natural inclination is to assume that O'Donnell is pure as the driven snow and that these all just come from dirty tricks by the RINO-infested RNC - but that isn't the case.

AND, to top it off, she's going to get killed in the general election. Nominating her means Senator Coons in November - guaranteed.

“It would help the country if RINO politicians went and took over the ‘Rat Party and made the socialists join the Commie Party where they belong.”

The RAT party is already the American neo-Marxist party.
They should NEVER be refereed to as “Progressive”, “Liberal”,
or “Socialist” They are COMMIES.

I'm glad *somebody* around her gets it. Even the Evil Twins from Maine could, potentially, mean Senate Majority Leader DeMint, if enough of the incoming class of real conservatives united with folks like Inhofe, Barrasso, and Johanns to overthrow the McConnell regime. Think about it, if all the Senate races go our way - as they look like they may well - then Sens. Angle, Buck, Johnson, Rossi, Paul, Rubio, Hoeven, Boozman, Toomey, all conservative and none with any institutional loyalty to McConnell, form a solid core around which to built the necessary 26-27 votes needed to give it to DeMint.

That can happen only if we have the seats. Which means that in places where a red-meat conservative won't win - like Maine, Delaware, California, etc. - RINOs with a 50% ACU rating are needed, and certainly better than Dimocrats with 10% ACU ratings.

Are you from Delaware? Can’t tell since you haven’t bothered to post a home page. This is DE’s fight, and suggest you stay out of it unless you have a dog in the fight.

Said by a guy from Virginia.

Selective. Reasoning. It's an ugly thing.

Fair Enough. Let us observe the "dog-catching credentials"
of RINOs like Castle, Ross, or Romney.

"But the details of the event are more than unseemly — they may, in fact, be illegal.
Massachusetts's animal cruelty laws specifically prohibit anyone
from carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel
or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the
animal carried thereon." An officer for the Massachusetts Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to a description of the situation
saying "it's definitely something I'd want to check out." The officer,
Nadia Branca, declined to give a definitive opinion on whether Romney broke the law
but did note that it's against state law to have a dog in an open bed of a pick-up truck,
and "if the dog was being carried in a way that endangers it, that would be illegal."

"Dog on Roof? What Was It Like for Romney's Pooch?
Scientists Say Dog Likely Experienced Wind-Whipped, Uncomfortable Trip
"Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter,
in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack.
e'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog," read the article.
Jordan Kaplan, the owner of Petaholics, a dog walking service in New York City,
and a lifelong dog owner and dog lover, said Romney's actions were uncalled for.
....What Happens to a Dog on a Roof Traveling 50 MPH?"

"Romney's dog - This is a distinction Mitt Romney probably could do without, but he is surely
the first presidential candidate to be attacked for putting a dog with diarrhea
in a carrier and tying it to the top of a station wagon.
Romney's defense: Seamus liked it. "He scrambled up there every time we went on trips,"
the Republican said during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh. "He got in all by himself and enjoyed it."

"As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon,
keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble.
''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window,
payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours.
As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust,
Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station.
There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car,
then hopped back onto the highway."

"Story about dog on car roof comes back to bite Romney
Critics, jokesters make issue of tale
TIME.com's Swampland blog has been flooded with more than 200 comments
from readers complaining of animal cruelty"

Romney's bad behavior Exposed by Seamus

"Romney Loses Nomination Over Dog Abuse?
Romney was traveling that summer with his wife, five sons, and Seamus to his parent's cottage on Lake Huron.
But hours into the ride, Seamus apparently suffered diarrhea,
which ran down the back window of the car. Romney's sons, all under 13, howled in disgust.
Romney pulled off the road into a service station.
There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, and they drove on to Ontario.
.....David Kravitz wrote on BlueMassGroup, a liberal blog.
"It also strikes me as classic Romney: it solves a problem efficiently,
in a business-like manner, and with no regard whatsoever
for the suffering that the solution may cause."

Mike Castle is a total jerk, creep, RINO nit wit.

No argument there.

Makes Marxist Obama look good even.

Um, no. Castle has a 55% lifetime ACU rating, Obama has a 5%.

"Cin-day" is an emotionalistic idiot.

Castle voted for Cap & Trade!

All Congressmen who voted for Cap & Trade MUST BE REMOVED. They are either TRAITORS or simply too stupid to hold public office. (I think almost all of them are Traitors)
