I hope you are right. The country could use her, or any Republican in the senate from a northeastern state at this point.

I think the NRSC with their war chest needs to back AlL of their candidates and that includes Christine.

Why else are they sucking up people’s hard earned dollars? Surely it’s not to sit on it.

Valid point. Campaigns are expensive.

$3.5 million is nothing in a tough race, Angle is blowing through a million a week.

“rino” Castle.

Eh. So you don’t believe that Castle was a true “RINO”?

Was it his support for Obama, go along, get along or crap and trade that convinced you to add the quote marks?

Look, Mike, I am sorry that you lost a tough race, but Christine is the Republican nominee, and if you are a conservative you need to get behind her and stop smearing her.

If your accusation is that I am not particularly fond of mindless populism, even when many of the issues raised by the mindless populists are on point, then I am guilty as charged. As fun as it may be to support the populist pitchfork brigade when we are angry at elites, it doesn’t make for very good strategy or tactics, much less policy.

You keep sending her money, or claim to, yet you keep bad mouthing her at every chance here at freerepublic, you even work in Palin at times.

My guess is that social conservatism is something that bugs you.

I think you have me confused with some other iconoclast posting on this board. I haven’t donated to either Ms. O’Donnell or Ms. Palin. Wish them all the luck, however.

As for my social conservatism, I am an orthodox Roman Catholic. I’m opposed to abortion and same sex marriage, and hate the homosexual sin (and sin in general) but not the sinner. I’m take a libertarian position on most issues that my faith doesn’t address. I’ve always thought of myself as a social conservative, but hopefully one who follows reason and not invective. But, maybe I am wrong.

Sorry mate, but name’s not Mike. As for Castle, I have no use for him other than for the fact that he is a Republican who can win a senate seat in a northeastern state. If the GOP amasses 51 votes, they dictate the committee chairmanships and the budgets and the policy making machinery. Like it or not, that’s important.

If O’Donnell wins the seat, it will be better than Castle winning the seat and I’ll apologize to you guys and admit I was a stubborn old foolish “realist.” I hope it happens, but I don’t think I’m going to need to develop a taste for humble pie any time soon.

I see what happened now, you post our remarks to you, as your own, you don’t even bother with quote marks.

I have never seen that before, how are we supposed to know which words are yours, or someone else’s?

The GOP really needs to get with the program.

If O’Donnell loses - they’ll be blamed. And deserve it.

Thing is, part of the reason she’s behind is all the GOP backbiting.

She’s behind because the GOP is split. Time for the GOP to man up and do the right thing. Help the lady win. She can, if the GOP pulls out the stops - and the benefits of an O’Donnell victory would be earthshaking for life during the next Senate.

ROVE. Get with it.

Fair enough. I just worry about Ol’ Jumpin’ Jim.

Once burned twice shy. At least with Castle we have a chance to win it all.

They certainly are. Even the palm cards they hand out. $$$$$

BTW, I got the same letter, and I’m going to make another contribution. I’m in NY, so I can’t vote for her, but I think she’s got what it takes. I like her a lot.

I don’t know. I am still getting requests for money from Michelle Bachmann’s campaign....two letters in the last week and two phone calls. She has raised millions!! And only two weeks left! Something else is going on with these requests, this late.

I think they are adding a cushion for future use.

You don't get it at all. This has nothing to do with handing the keys back to the Rinos that got us into this ditch in the first place. And, I don't mean a cyclical economic slowdown. I mean a bloated fedocracy with prescription drug plans and no child whatever legislation and all that stuff.

If this battle takes 50 years, fine. Its a battle of ideas not chairmanships. And Castle, once elected in Delaware will prolong the battle not advance it.

I get about on average 8 solicitations a day....some from Bachman...COD...Angle...Rubio...etc etc....

I know some of them are very well set....

but I think the intimidation factor is big.....if you have a huge war chest, the opponent gets very worried...

but we can only give what we can give, right?....

I hope she wins....Rasmussen has it at 11% with 9%undecided....I’ll take those odds especially if the campaign starts making big inroads which it should...
