The fact that Castle voted for this bill gives the appearance of supporting impeachment. I don’t claim to know what was in his heart during this process.

What I do know is that today, because of his weak voting record on other issues that are important to conservatives, his vote on the Kookcinich bill raises serious questions.

Did Castle actually support impeachment? Was his vote calculated only to appease the Rat voters in his state? Or didn’t he have enough integrity to say “no” to his Republican leadership? Did he feel so secure in his position of power that he felt he could simply play the political game with no future consequences?

Only to someone who doesn't understand the legislative process and the gamesmanship that is employed EVERYDAY in that process.

"What I do know is that today, because of his weak voting record on other issues that are important to conservatives, his vote on the Kookcinich bill raises serious questions."

Only in the minds of people who don't understand the process.

Read the Geraghty piece. It was crystal clear to him at the time of the vote what was going on, as it's just as crystal clear now. Your questions are facially absurd.
