or
are they lying to us now since the RNC has a pet RINO in this race?
They better get their heads out their butts. The sort of reckless smear job they are pulling now is going to be impossible to walk back if O'Donnel wins the nomination again.
There are no moderates. It was a ruse used to pacify the people. Most of congress now are nothing more than cheats, liars and thieves.
They have to go.
According to the ACU, Castle voted 72% liberal in 2008 and 80% liberal in 2007. If you are cool with that then you are not a conservative "fellow traveller".
You’re right. The more they beat the hell out of Christine O’Donnell, a candidate THEY endorsed in 2008, the more it looks like it will backfire on them.
Yes, thank you, he was one of eight Republicans to vote for cap and trade in the House, and last night there was an article here about Reid looking forward to Castle’s vote in the lame duck session for kneecap and tax.
And Scott Brown is quite Moderate. Many here would call him a RINO. He also was facing one of the worst candidates in Modern History.
O'Donnell can't win in Delaware. She might be more Conservative than Castle, but she's a perennial candidate, and she doesn't stand a chance in the general election. If you want to hand another vote for Reid as the minority leader, by all means, support her. Castle is far from perfect, but we have got to make sure that Reid isn't the majority leader come January. Castle will help that happen, Senator Coons will not.
It will be interesting to see what, if anything, "she who shall not be named" will do about an endorsement in this race.
I am amused at how out of staters perceive tiny Delaware. As in most states, Delaware is really two states - urban GOP decided to play friendly with the RATs. Or LA along religious lines.
As in most elections, turnout is the key. Historically, turnout percentages in DE are less than Congress’s favorability rating. Then to assume that Coons wins is to make the same mistake Castle has made - ignore your opposition.
The time for nose holding when voting will only encourage the RINOs to keep on pushing like-minded candidates in our face. The Tea Party protests and Washington marches should have told Conservatives two things - 1)we the people still hod the power and 2)GOP needs us more than we need them.
Rod,
I am just so surprised at you.
Do what you have to do I suppose.
Are you going to disclose any of the negatives on Castle - or are you going to wait to do that once he's running against the Democrat Coons?
That's the ultimate question, in a nutshell! If Castle wins, Conservatives LOSE! I would rather face an avowed enemy than attempt to placate a traitor in my own camp.
But back to your excellent question... I suspect the real answer (why elect Mike Castle?) is that the GOP establishment is NOT conservative, does NOT favor limited government, and does NOT respect the Constitution. The GOP is run by closeted Socialists who merely favor a more incremental approach than their Democrat brethren. THAT is why the GOP establishment supports a wool-covered Democrat like Mike Castle. When the chips are all the way down, people reveal their true colors -- and the GOP establishment is blue.
It is time to spew out the duplicitous Republican leadership and their RINO puppets, and reclaim the party.
Just the establishment doing what the establishment does. Chris Christie’s endorsement means nothing, btw. He is the epitome of an establishment Republican.
Perhaps some one can explain why some people on this forum are so quick to denounce O’Donnell while ignoring the RINO’s baggage. Is it because they hate women, or are they trolls, or they are more PUB than Conservative?
If we really want to elect a Senator who is pro-cap and trade, pro-DeathCare, pro-abortion and anti-gun, what does it matter what letter is after his name? If Castle wins the primary, the general election will be a choice between “Tweedle-Dee” and “Tweedle-Dum”. If O’Donnell wins, we have an election with choices.
Just trying to figure it all out. You have a freepmail.
I’m from Fla. I don’t have a clue about Delaware.
BINGO! You will always get more of whatever you reward.
Cite please.
Sharron Angle will see to it that this does not happen.
