Mike Castle Slams Biden Pick Via Rackstraw
Being Anti-Obama/Biden right now is not a smart move for Delaware Republicans. Even Bill Lee is giddy about Obama’s pick. Mike Castle, however, has been quiet. He has not posted a statement on his web site and gave only this meager crumb to the News Journal:
U.S. Rep. Mike Castle called him “a friend and an effective advocate,” he stopped short of endorsing him, instead remaining “a supporter and ally of Senator John McCain.”
I’ll leave aside the fact that his support for McCain means that Castle is seriously lacking in the judgment required to represent Delaware in the US House and say that this statement does nto satisfy the the rag tag GOP remnant’s need for red meat.
Priscilla Rakestraw seems to have drawn the short straw and was given the job (by Castle) of being Delaware’s lone anti-Biden Republican. This statement, strongly criticizing Obama’s selection of Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate.
“While this announcement brings excitement and recognition to the state of Delaware, in choosing Joe Biden, Barack Obama has admitted his total lack of knowledge of foreign affairs and national security,” Rakestraw said in the statement. “In his first potential executive decision, Barack Obama has chosen a fellow liberal senator and an established Washington insider. Rather than bringing change, an Obama-Biden ticket will continue the same liberal establishment mindset that has obstructed real solutions to our energy security, economic security, and a safer America. Barack Obama has sent a clear message in his choice of Joe Biden – that he plans to continue advocating the failed policies of the past.” – h/t DWA
hahahaha
today you crazey lefties declare him St Joe and demand thath his opponents do the same.
a month ago you loons were screaming about Joe the neocon war monger and bemoaning the lack of a true progressive to primary him…
moonbats
“start with a man, the take away reason and responcibility”
Snark…that was Carper. We want to primary Carper. Perhaps you are too stupid to tell the difference between Carper and Biden.
And what is it with you conservatives and spelling? “Crazey?” “Thath?” “Responcibility?”
We all have our typos, but the batshit crazy right literally can’t go a sentence without misspelling a word. I wonder if all the hate and fear in their brains rots it.
I should wait until I stop laughing before I type. thanks for the reminder.
One of the most overlooked episodes during the 1987 collapse of Biden’s campaign was a snippet of footage captured by C-Span in which the Delaware senator, in response to a question about where he went to law school and what sort of grades he received, delivered this classic line: “I think I have a much higher IQ than you do.”
Quite frankly snark I am pretty sure he has a higher IQ than you do. And that so do we.
and he got the Jack Nicholson quote wrong too
Irony alert: Priscilla Rakestraw said “failed policies of the past.”
The thing is though, Delaware doesn’t matter much….. Three electoral votes? who cares about Delaware?
HAHAHAHA DelawareDem….attacking someone for their spelling. That’s some seriously “progressive” thinking. Shouldn’t you be coddling them and offering a program for their poor spelling/grammar? Maybe you should be offering some of your hard earned cash to have them re-educated since their state run education didn’t work the first time around.
Fuckin’ wingnuts.
