I don't answer calls from the RNC, or any other "majority maker" organization. I give to the candidates I choose because they support conservatism.

Stop supporting the RINO welfare system known as the RNC.

It's time for a rebellion against the GOP establishment.

Millions for conservatism, but not one cent for liberals, be they Republican or Democrat.

While I agree he is HORRIFICALLY bad. There is no such thing as WORSE than a RINO.

RINO’s are de facto 5th columnists. Traitors within. NOTHING is worse than that, for nothing BUT that can bring about our nations end.

I gave up party support a long time ago, Democrats and Republicans care about getting members of their party voted into office. Whatever principles they claim get thrown out the window. I guarantee you plenty of Obama’s policies only fly because he is a Democrat, sure he can word them however he wishes, but they are the ideas of the RINOs. I still support individual candidates. But the parties as a whole are incredibly corrupt.

Whomever said one should place principle above party was truly insightful as to how party politics would play out.

I will also agree, that most GOP candidates in Delaware are RINOs, having lived there for more than a decade.

Castle received a 28 out of 100 in 2008

I would rather have a 28% conservative than a self-admitted Democrat who is a 10% conservative, but only because the majority party sets the agenda. If that's the choice in November, I'll try to get the votes out for Castle. However, I'd rather have an 80% or better conservative. Next week we get to make that choice, and I hope and pray that patriotic Americans in DE will vote in the primary.

Exactly. Who would they rather have? Biden’s hell spawn?

I say the same thing to MORONS who complain about Scott Brown.

Delaware went overwhelmingly for Obama in ‘08. If O’Donnell can pull this off then Boxer, Reid, Feingold are gone.

Why are you writing Christine off before the vote is held? Do you want more of the same old same old? Then just keep voting for RINOs because you THINK they have a better chance of winning. It's a Conservative tsunami this year. Get on board.

FYI, Rush just commented on this campaign...in O’Donnell’s favor.

If Castle is a RINO, there may be a good reason for it. Delaware is a deep blue State and we should count ourselves very lucky to get a Republican at all. Running a Jim DeMint clone in every State is foolhardy.

Sometimes you have to send a message such as it is unacceptable for Republican leaders to run a baby-hating socialist for office.

Anyway, it's always better to have your enemies in front of you.

To illustrate: Mike Castle makes Arlen Specter look conservative.

I am of the opinion that all RINOs should face conservative opposition in every election cycle. And not just a token opposition but at least great enough to cause them to take notice and spend money. The conservative may not win but at least the RINO will know that he/she is not above the fray and needs to pay attention to his/her constituents.

Nice strawman. Nobody is looking at Castle and thinking "he's not a Jim DeMint clone". People looking seriously at Mike Castle recognize that he is not our ally, and is in fact our enemy: he is essentially a Democrat that will do everything he can to derail conservatives. The few votes he tosses our way are far outweighed by the damage he will do within the Republican party.

there are miles of difference between Scott Brown and Mike Castle. Scott Brown would have a 60-80% ACU rating if he had been in Congress during this period. 28% is terrible.

Massachusetts:

Barack Obama 62%
John McCain 36%

...And yet Scott Brown won just a year later. While I grant you that Brown is more liberal than O’Donnell obviously (especially on many social issues), he campaigned as a candidate decidedly more conservative than Castle.

Further, Brown ran as the 41st vote against Obamacare; now that Obamacare is even more unpopular than it was then, why is Castle saying that he won’t vote in favor of repealing it if he’s Senator?
