“This happened a lot in the 2010 election. For some reason, conservatives think the Tea Party candidates (no matter lack of credentials or how poorly they present themselves) are preferable to GOPers with solid track records. Think O’Donnell, Angle, Joe Miller and numerous House races where “Tea Party” (sometimes ron paul’s Campaign for Liberty disguised as Republican) and Club for Growth pushed their own candidate when there was already a credible conservative/Republican running.”
I think you forgot your sarcasm tag...
Oy vey.
We got to see what kind of person Mike Castle was. He lost the Republican primary, fair and square. Now, instead of being a "good Republican" he stood by and let the I-495 crowd trash the Republican winner, while he did nothing. Nothing! This to you is a good Republican -- someone who loses and then doesn't have the grace to even endorse his own Party's nominee?
It's hilarious. Conservatives are expected to fall in line without fail for the "moderates," but given EXACTLY the same choice, these "moderates" go out and trash the people who pay and volunteer for this Party as "extremists." BS. The moderates don't man the phone banks and they don't make the donations, but they sure as hell feel entitled to a conservative loyalty they've never returned.
