Think Progress has this quote from Castle speaking on behalf of Republicans everywhere who favor “surrender”:
“I think a lot of us feel that the time has come for us to look for solutions to bring this war to a close,” Castle said. “And I don’t think that’s just a feeling among moderate Republicans but among Republicans in general.”
Now, suddenly, he is turning “surrender monkey” and throwing George Bush under the bus. I have two questions.
1) What took so long?
2) Why don’t you vote that way? You just passed on two chances to underscore your WORDS with Actions.
Here is the real deal. This is just so much talk. Castle wil never ever, ever, ever do ANYTHING to defy Bush. Castle’s polling shows that his continuing support for George Bush is killing him. So he will claim that he opposes Bush, but will continue voting with him.
RELATED NOTE: I’m still waiting for Castle’s office to reply to my request for any documents related to Castle’s claims to have been “working” on changing Bush’s Iraq policy. AND the word on the street is that the Ogre refuses to debate me for fear that being confronted with the truth about his record – and some simple fact about the Constitution could induce another stroke.
