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.
So are you saying the other 166 Republicans who voted against it were actually voting to keep it alive, and the Democrats voted for it were actually voting to kill the bill?
I live in Delaware, and your post is a load of horse manure.
We are not dark blue, when 35% of Delaware voted FOR O’Donnell againsy Biden in 2008.
Castle is NOT a deficit hawk, when he voted for bailouts and for Cap and Trade.
Crossover appeal? Forget it. Why would Dems vote for a Dem with an “R” after his name when you can vote for the real thing in Coons?
The “many” that want Castle on the top of the ticket are Democrats—because they will cream him in November, after all, how will he be different from Coons?
You are building a conservative majority in DE—on what? Sand?
Conservative is the LAST label Castle wants.There is nothing about him that is conservative.
Go ahead and vote for the RINO—and may your chains rest lightly upon you.
If Castle is the king of your "conservative majority", precisely because he has "enormous" corssover appeal with democrats and other liberals, perhaps you should look up the definition of "conservative" again.
As for any of the rest of us 'shutting up', kiss my a$$. When we spoke out against McCain as the nominee in '08, we were warned to shut up and take it, because McCain was "electable".
Castle's minions, including you, are no longer in a position to say that we conservatives must forsake our principles because of your moderate's "electability".
Its very confusing and terrifying, but you're right, people who live outside Delaware should shut up.
Seeing both sides of this argument is not helping me, so I'll just be over here under my bed, trembling, with my fingers and toes crossed.
