Mark Levin should have done his homework on O'Donnell.
Oh, look. You know how to copy and paste Castle’s smear machine talking points! You’re very clever.
No you should your homework instead of just mindlessly accepting the smear job paid for by the NRC.
Sit down and shut up. You utter morons.
You cannot hold O'Donnell up as a “great candidate” when she is running against Biden in 2008 and then go all in for trash talk against her now.
Castle is a Democrat in everything but name. Even if Castle were to win, he will vote more with Harry Reid then he will with Jim Demint. This is one race it would be better to lose then to spend all our time electing Castle only to have him pull a Jeffords on us in Jan 2011. Your choice here are O'Donnell or a Progressive, there is no other option.
Hey, Mac. Go shill for Castle elsewhere. Drive-bys such as that don’t work her. Try Rightosphere. Or better still, DU
Why are you for Mike Castle, a career politician who’s more liberal than conservative and who’s already said he will vote for kneecap and tax and against repealing obamacare?
Sounds like a better conservative could have beaten Castle in a primary but ODonnell is not the best they could have put up. Too bad. Though as far as who is electable is concerned, it looks like even Castle is no sure thing. 0bama has a 55% approval rating in DE. I have to wonder if that state isn’t just too far gone. Maybe they should be written off.
You must really love your guy.
And I’m sure you are an impartial commenter just surfing the net.
;)
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.
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.
Wow, and if you read through all of those posts, the reasons they say she should go away are based on a smear campaign by Castle. It sounds as though you have not read anything about Castle. This attack on Christine is disproportionate and the good ol boys are going to be very sorry they pulled out all the stops for Castle, who will be voting with the democrats to further shackle our children.
Christine Counterpunches
September 3, 2010 By eTeam
As the Castle Campaign continues to sink in the polls, he is desperately digging up issues to distract voters from the fact that he voted with President Obama on just about every major spending bill this summer.
Sad but true, his tactics have dominated a whole news cycle distracting some reporters from the real issues, like how we’re going to get private sector jobs back in Delaware or why he voted for Cap and Trade. Because of this, I am amending the “Christine Counters” section of my website to clarify their latest accusation.
Mike Castle is making an issue of the fact that it took me 12 years to pay off my tuition bill and as a result my diploma was delayed. As you can see from the picture below, I participated in my school’s Cap and Gown ceremony in 1993. Yet, the “diploma” in my hand is actually a bursar’s bill for outstanding tuition payments. It took me over a decade to pay off that bill as well as my student loans.
Once the bill was paid in full over 10 years later, the question of whether or not my credits had expired became an issue that even further delayed the awarding of my diploma.
In the meantime, I was awarded a 2002 Graduate Fellowship in Constitutional Government from the Claremont Institute in Claremont, CA. This fellowship was awarded based on professional accomplishments rather than academic achievements. I was upfront with the Claremont Institute about the status of the degree, yet it was not an issue because my professional merits stood on their own.
After a very long process, my undergraduate credits finally have been re-instated and I am a proud alumna of Fairleigh Dickinson University.
As your senator, I will focus on stopping the Mike Castle supported Obama agenda, including being the 41st vote in the upcoming lame duck session voting against cap and trade, and further budget breaking stimulus.
_____________________________________________
As the O’Donnell for US Senate team continues to gain momentum and rise in the polls, my political opponent is making an issue of the fact that, unlike him, I am not a multi-millionaire. His surrogates are generating stories based on half-truths and twisted facts. Perhaps this is a desperate move on his part to distract from his liberal voting record. Perhaps he really believes only multi-millionaires or incumbents should run for office.
Whatever his reason for spreading rumors, please allow me to set the record straight so we can get back to the business of discussing the issues and serving the folks in Delaware.
1. My opponent claims I owe money to the IRS. The IRS says the erroneous tax bill was a “computer error.”
During my previous campaign against then Sen. Joe Biden, I was audited by the IRS – so were some of my family members and a campaign worker. (Let’s chalk that up to a coincidence.) After a long appeals process, this was supposed to have been wrapped up this past spring.
Yet, in March, rather than a letter finalizing the appeals process, I received an erroneous tax lien claiming I had not responded to their previous correspondence. The IRS admitted the letter was a mistake, issued a Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien on May 19, 2010 and chalked it up to a “computer error.” The remaining balance was paid in full on May 16, 2010, clearly proving yet again that my political opponent is desperate and because of which he is ignoring the facts and circulating copies of the erroneous lien to reporters and bloggers.
Please find below, a copy of the letter from the appeals officer assigned to my case. You will notice that it is dated just weeks before the erroneous lien and clearly demonstrates I had been cooperating with the IRS and heading towards resolution.
IRS Appeal Letter
On a side note, whether this is foul play or really just a computer error, it is big government at its worst – the IRS’s “computer error” should not be able to cause such a nightmare in a citizens’ life.
This is exactly why I have pledged to work hard to reform the IRS and simplify the tax code. The IRS has become a burden on too many families and businesses. We need to shrink it, not expand it as proposed by the Obama/Reid agenda.
2. I sold my home in 2008. My opponent claims I lost it in foreclosure.
Please find below, the letter from Citimortgage proving my home was privately sold in 2008 through a realtor and private mortgage company, not a public foreclosure. Yet, my opponent is circulating a supposed foreclosure notice. Could this document be the result another “computer error?”
citimortgage letter
Although I did not have the misfortune of facing a home foreclosure as my opponent alleges, millions of Americans – including scores of Delaware families – ARE facing just that right now. Catastrophic unemployment rates are robbing the American dream from so many who want to work, but can’t find a job. In trying to “smear” me with false accusations of being involved in a foreclosure, Mike Castle is smearing the character of every American family facing foreclosure. Not everyone is as lucky as Mike Castle who has been living on the taxpayer’s tab and a cushy government payroll since 1969.
3. My opponent is trying to start a rumor that I am not a Delaware resident. This is simply not true.
During my 2008 campaign, both my home and campaign office were vandalized, broken into, files were stolen, threatening messages were left and nasty names were scrawled across my front door and porch. For security reasons, I simply do not want my home address made public this time around. Most common people understand this.
Thank you for taking the time to read my response. As we continue to gain in the polls, no doubt new accusations will come. I will continue to remain open and honest. It is my goal to earn the trust and support of Delaware’s voters. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do just that.

Why would you go out of your way to post this on a conservative website? You are working for Mike Castle.
I don’t care about her sex life or her finances, or even if she’s a nice person or not. I care about if the senator from Delaware is going to vote with Obama or not. Castle will, she won’t. End of story.
