I know I’m not going to be popular here tonight, but you make a good point. I just don’t know how this will play out. We didn’t vote all these Rinos in overnight or in one election and we cannot expect to change the composition overnight or with one election.

Here's my take. It doesn't matter if we take the Senate in 2010 as long as we take the House. Control of the House means that the Obama agenda can be stopped. It does not mean that the damage done already can be reversed. Controlling the House AND Senate does not change that fact. The Senate election that matters will be 2012 when 23 of the 33 seats up for grabs will be Democrat seats. And the only thing that will screw up our chances then will be to have a 51-49 edge in 2011-2012 and have Castle, Snowe, and Collins vote with the Democrats. The people will then rightly say that they gave the Republicans the chance but they were no different from the Democrats.

I will not be voting for any candidate that will sell me out. I will not be voting for Johnny Isakson in November because he sold me out on TARP. The Georgia GOP needs to learn the same lesson that Delaware is about to learn.

We have a great opportunity in 2012 to pick up a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. I am not willing to risk that by supporting candidates like Mike Castle that will join the Democrats in a filibuster the first chance he gets.

When good compromises with evil, it is only evil that can profit.
