GOP fights to hold off Tea Party in Delaware (Murkowski warned Castle)

The Republican party's candidate in Delaware says he won't be caught off guard by the Tea Party in the final days before Tuesday's primary.

Mike Castle, the moderate Republican congressman whose Senate bid has the support of the state GOP, is trying to avoid becoming the next Lisa Murkowski.

Sen. Murkowski, the Republican incumbent in Alaska, was ousted by a Tea Party challenger last month. Soon after her defeat, she phoned Castle with a warning, the congressman tells CNN.

"I actually received a call after the election saying, 'Mike, you need to be prepared, they'll come at you hard,' " Castle said after a campaign stop in Millsboro, Delaware. "It was part of a broader wake-up call that's been going on for several months now."

Somewhere up the food chain John Cornlyn and Mitch McConnell are behind this.

They are both corrupt insiders. But I think Castle is even further to the left.

If he wins, is the Dim strong enough to beat him? I would not like to see this human debris Castle go to Washington and pollute the new Tea Party candidates that will win this fall.

>> ‘Mike, you need to be prepared, they’ll come at you hard,’

Yes, we will. The days of the Republicrat Parties is drawing to a close, unless they can steal enough elections from the People. Now if we can just get the working-class Dems to wake up and see the truth about their half of the Republicrats, then we can start making some progress to get Americas back on track.

For those stragglers who still equate "Republican" with "Conservative".

All of these articles keep calling Mike Castle a moderate. He is anything but a moderate.

He is a liberal to the core.

HE MUST BE DEFEATED!
