“the NRSC/John Cornyn have endorsed her”

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that’s winning

You say I let you down
You know it’s not like that
If you’re so hurt
Why then don’t you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that’s not where it’s at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You’re in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I’d make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don’t know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, “How are you?” “Good luck”
But you don’t mean it

When you know as well as me
You’d rather see me paralyzed
Why don’t you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I’d rob them

And now I know you’re dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don’t you understand
It’s not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You’d know what a drag it is
To see you

The language was vitriolic...Ms O’Donnell called Mr Castle "a closet Democrat and a RINO"

Ooohhh...nasty vituperation. Horribly vitriolic. LOL -- bed-wetting pansies.

ANY state GOP chairman should be fired for bad mouthing ANY candidate in a primary. And ANY one who even hints at resigning to support a democrat should be forced to resign then have all republican credentials taken from him.

"a closet Democrat and a RINO"

See, even the Democrat-loving, liberal media know that words like "Democrat" and "RINO" are vitriolic!

Something my former brother-in-law used to say is pretty spot-on here:
I would rather have a sister working in a house of ill repute than to have a Democrat brother!

Not one member of the panel to Chris Wallace today said “Now that she’s won the party needs to support her.” Their mantra, even Krauthammer, is “elect people who can beat democrats”. But when the people decide to elect someone who is a true conservative they throw their hands up and, with tears in their eyes, say “We surrender!”

Besides, if they already KNOW who will win, why hold an election? Just go ahead and quit, you whimps!

Contact that State RNC chair and tell him NO MONEY to the GOP until they FIRE Michael Steele and replace him with a TRUE Conservative.

Thanks!

Forget about Castle. It’s time to take on “Chris Coons: The Making of a Bearded Marxist.” This is the title he gave himself in college. See: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0510/36726.html

Anne Marie Fahey was the appointments secretary to Governor Tom Carper (D), now US Senator, at the time of her murder by her lover Thomas Capano who was not the Attorney General of Delaware. Thomas Capano was a high powered and respected lawyer. Mike Castle was not involved. The Attorney General was M. Jane Brady (R) now a Delaware Superior Court Judge.

The presiding judge in the case was Bill Lee (R) who later ran for Governor unsuccessfully twice after retiring from the bench. The most incriminating piece of evidence was a cooler in which the body of Anne Marie was disposed at sea, later recovered by a fisherman.

Capano's brother testified that they had seen a member of a woman's body protruding from the cooler as it was tossed over board from Capano's boat. It was fourteen years ago, but I think I remember that when the cooler failed to sink Capano fired shots at it to get it to sink. As you say the body of Anne Marie was never found.

Well, that is interesting because the program I saw this week (Forensic Files) definitely mentioned Mike Castle as Governor. Did he become Gov. AFTER Carper — perhaps when the trial was going on? That might have been the reason that Castle’s name was mentioned.

I’ve seen at least 3 renditions of this case on TV and did not ever remember Castle being mentioned before. And now that YOU mention it, I do remember that Carper was the name referenced in the other versions of this sordid tale.

Thanks for the correction.

Last night I asked my husband (who has worked for various large corporations in upper management) if it were possible for people who worked in prominent positions in an organization to be carrying on an affair without being noticed by the boss (Governor). He laughed and reminded me of one of his co-workers who was carrying on with a secretary for years and NOBODY knew until he divorced his wife and married the secretary.

BTW, you are right about the cooler. They tried to get Capano’s brother’s testimony thrown out saying that he (the brother) was a known drug user. Capano certainly was/is a creep. He’s still trying to get out of prison. If he ever does, he’ll probably off his 2 brothers and his other mistress.
