Republican Mike Castle doesn't support repeal of health care (his opponent does)

When is the Delaware Republican primary?

September 14

Wonder how much money the RNC is funnelling into his campaign ....

I can tell you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, they aren’t getting a penny from me.

[Sergeant Tim]

Ping!

Much later in the year (don’t know exactly when) but I can tell you the first hurdle is their Republican convention in May. Hopefully enough delegates will vote for O’Donnell to give her a good showing. She probably can not win because there are too many liberal Republicans in Delaware, especially Wilmington, and the Republican machine is behind Castle. But a less than unanimous showing for him at the convention could be helpful to her. Sussex County should help.

Thanks for the ping!

I don’t have a problem with his saying there’s no way the full bill will be repealed as long as Obama is in office. He’s right. There’s no way the repubs will have a veto proof or filibuster proof majority after the November elections. 2012 on the other hand will hopefully increase our pending majority and bring in a Republican Conservative President. Then we repeal the full bill and replace it.

Ping!

[Sergeant Tim]

I disagree. Even without veto-proof majories in the House and Senate, simple majorities could defund HRC, and should.

[ChuckHam]

Good point. We use the reconciliation process to defund it. For some reason I was thinking a bill would have to be approved and sent forward for the residents signature.

"While this president is in office, repealing this full law is not realistic and not the best use of our efforts," he said in a statement.

What's to argue with there? He's right -- it would be a symbolic measure at best. Next year, a GOP majority in both houses will be able to slow things down, mostly be funding this c**p at $0, but it'll take until 2013 before repeal is a serious option.

My tagline says it all: De-fund Obamacare in 2011, repeal in 2013!

[Sergeant Tim]

See comment 10.

[mrsixpack36]

Even the most RINO members of the senate want it repealed. Any “republican” who supports this bill is an outright liberal.

[Sergeant Tim]

Sorry. I meant see comment 12.

[DelaWhere]

Thanks for the ping - I already sent it to Bill Colley @ WGMD. He is on-air right now till 7pm will see if he opens it up for discussion.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Truth be known, neither does John McQueeg.
