Biden: GOP said 'no moderates need apply' with Delaware primary

Republicans sent a message of "no moderates need apply" in their Senate primary on Tuesday night, Vice President Biden said.

Biden said he found it "tough to explain" how conservative insurgent candidate Christine O'Donnell managed to beat Rep. Mike Castle in a Republican Senate primary,

"the truth is that it’s real tough for the Republican Party. It’s kind of hung on a shingle," Biden told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow in an interview to air this evening. "You know, no moderates need apply. It’s sort of spawned a tone in politics that is not helpful to getting things done. And we’re a moderate state."

Biden said that if the state's 185,000 Republican voters had all turned out to vote in yesterday's primary, instead of the small number who did, then Castle, a popular longtime congressman and former governor, would be the Republican candidate for the vice president's old seat today.

Biden is almost correct.

Liberal Democrats posing as Republicans are no longer welcome in the Republican party!

Go to your commie scum baby killing party AKA the democrats.

Democrats sent a message of “no one to the right of Lenin need apply, including our left-wing former Vice Presidential nominee” in their Conn US Senate primary in 2006.

Perhaps that’s why voters are sick of Democrats, Joe.

Actually, the GOP leadership wanted liberals.

The public told the GOP where to stick them.

Damn right. Let the Democrat party have them, they plan to support that agenda anyway.

I love Justice Scalia's answer on being a moderate.

He said he would like to be a moderate, but he never knows what part of the Constitution he should ignore.

Only as seen from his uttermost left-wing perspective. Viewed from the middle of US public opinion, the moderate O’Donnell defeated the statist extremist Castle.

I knew Hussein was an totalitarian racialist, but I really didn't know he was stupid until he selected Biteme for VP.

The Anti-Constitutionalists booted out their “moderates” long ago :-)

Castle is a liberal, not a moderate.

Biteme is clueless as usual.

The only active part of Biden’s skull are the hair plugs.
