Rush Limbaugh today stated on his radio show that Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE) voted in favor of House Resolution 1258 on June 11, 2008.
What was "On Motion to Refer: H RES 1258 The Kucinich Privilege Resolution"?
Answer: "Impeaching George W. Bush, President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors"
24 Republicans voted with the Democrat majority and that did include Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE).

Mike Castle = no better than a democrat.
A potentially fatal development to the Castle campaign ... (snicker)
“Mike Castle = no better than a democrat.”
True, its funny watching the RINO’s on this forum support his votes with mental gymnastics.
Scum

While it's understandable to oppose Castle, I'm sorry Rush is playing fast and loose with the facts. I don't think he's stupid enough to not understand the parliamentary procedures employed here, but maybe I'm wrong.
Yep Castle voted for "aye" on this resolution, but only for procedural reason. Peter King and Kevin Brady - hardly two "liberal" Representatives, also voted "aye".
A more detailed explanation may be found here.
You should educate yourself before posting such inflammatory idiocy.
No, he actually didn’t.
This is pretty clear.
Not that I like Castle, but he did not vote to support impeachment proceedings.

I was wondering who the 24 were. One was Frank Wolf, 10th district of Virginia; I remember at the time he gave some explanation about how it was reasonable to vote to send a bill to committee, where it would likely die, instead of leaving it out as an issue by not voting to send it to committee.
On the other hand, the measure to send it to committee passed easily without his vote, so his vote was symbolic.
And, of course, the bill died in the committee, so sending it to committee accomplished it’s purpose. I also think Frank thought it was reasonable to do investigations, in order to discover the truth, but even my own moderate congressman Tom Davis voted against.

And... you should refrain from personal attacks on people have present facts not opinion.
As a Republican, you have two choices on this matter.
A) Vote with the Democrats on a President Bush resolution as Rep. Castle (R-DE) and 24 other Republicans did.
OR
B) Vote with the 166 other House Republicans did on voting NAY on this bill.
Based on your logic, the other 166 Republicans are too stupid to understand ‘parliamentary tricks’.
This is yet the biggest lie from the O’Donnell nutcases. The truth is that Castle voted to send the resolution to the Judiciary Committee to die a slow death.
As to all the O’Donnell supporters: every conservative challenger in local Delaware House and Senate elections this November — and there are many — wants and needs Mike Castle at the top of the ticket. Castle’s crossover appeal is enormous and will help the entire ticket from top to bottom.
If you want to help us build a conservative majority in DE, shut up. We know what we are doing. The shoddy and false interference from Palin and DeMint is reprehensible.
This is dark blue Delaware, not Colorado or Alaska. The best we can get is a Scott Brown type Republican in the US Senate. Castle wants to make the Bush tax cuts permanent, control federal spending, and reduce the deficit. Castle is a deficit hawk.
Voted AGAINST the 05 Republican budget.
Voted AGAINST an amendment to cut spending by 2%.
Voting AGAINST a bill to protect gun-makers from lawsuits.
Voted FOR a bill sponsored by notoriously
anti-gun Representative James Moran,
outlawed exports of .50-caliber rifles,
and it marked the first congressional
vote on any kind of .50-caliber ban.
