Day 30: Mike Castle’s Betrayal of Delaware

Filed in Delaware by on February 27, 2009

According the DCCC calls that are being made to Delawareans:

“Castle’s empty rhetoric can’t hide that he voted to raise the (alternative minimum tax) on 22 million middle-class Americans and against the largest tax cut in history,” the calls say.

Exactly right. Castle betrayed any of his so-called moderation by voting against these tax cuts. And how excellent is it that the DCCC has joined in the effort?

This article notes that Castle has only gotten 11 calls on his vote. Make sure he gets more today. Call his office and tell him that you disapprove of his obstructionist behavior (be polite, but clear):

302.428.1902 Wilmington Office
302.736.1666 Dover Office
302.856.3334 Georgetown Office
202.225.4165 DC Office

    I called WDEL “Talk back” this morning and said that Castle was a bum.

    I doubt they’ll play it though since the question was, “What’s your favorite TV show?”

    Conservatives actually liked the AMT because Bush used it as a way to hide his budget deficit. The Congress would then pass a one-year fix for it.

    Yesterday the TalkBack question was “What DE athlete has done the most to further their sport?” I was this close (holds two fingers really close to each other) to calling and saying “Mike Castle has furthered the sport of marathon by endlessly running away from his record.”

    You should have done it.

    Wow, I find myself missing the Protack slobbering over Castle this morning.

    You should have done it.

    But nemski could photoshop something out of this I bet for a future day…..

    I’m with Nemski — it’s after 6pm and still nothing? What’s up? Where is my daily entertainment?

    day 13 of Protack’s man-crush on Mike Castle? where is he? Mike…. have you gotten over him already? I guess you realized there are plenty of blow-fish (he is full of hot air) (and is ugly) in the sea. GOOD FOR YOU!

    Maybe he’s disappointed that Castle voted for the budget bill. See, Castle’s only a fiscal conservative when Boehner tells him he has to. Or, I guess, when everything he claims to stand for is on the line, and he shows his true colors by voting against it all.

    or maybe JUST MAYBE everyone at DL got to Castle and changed the grinch’s heart….. maybe
