Great Demolition of the notion that Mike Castle is a moderate
Blue America’s Down with Tyranny blogs about Mike Castle and seven other mainstream conservatives who like to pretend to be moderates.
So they call themselves “centrists” and “moderates” and now they’ve started their own PAC, the Tuesday Group PAC, based on a ragged gaggle of GOP House members who refuse to wear white sheets at the regular GOP caucus meetings; they meet on Tuesdays in a dank, windowless Capitol Hill basement and talk about how to not get defeated, their bowling scores and barbershop quartet, what a terrible man Tom DeLay was, and what Dick Cheney will do to them if they voted to end the U.S. occupation of Iraq (which they never do).
Now that the DCCC has someone who knows how to fight Republicans– instead of just grassroots Democrats– as it’s chairman, the Democrats will be working to replace as many of these phony-baloney “moderates” as they can, starting with Tuesday Rhinos like Mike Castle, Mark Kirk, Charlie Dent, James Walsh, Jim Gerlach and Heather Wilson. By the way, take a look at Wilson’s radical right voting record to see the nonsense of calling this bunch of crackpots “moderates.” They are all Bush rubber stamps and if you’re one of the 13% who likes Cheney’s policies, these are the men and women to support.
Although Blue America has a tendency to go after even more extreme Republicans, this year we plan to help rid Congress of some of these mislabeled anachronisms.
is Tuesday Morning similar to a Monday Morning Quarterback?
How ironic
For what it is worth, National Journal rated Mr. Castle as 53% conservative and 47% liberal.
