One of the Washington Post articles on Obama’s 100 days focuses on Delaware Congressman Mike Castle and his friend, Republican Michigan Congressman Fred Upton and their vote against Obama’s budget in January.
The money shot isn’t until the last two paragraphs when Castle is quoted as saying:
I’m not giving the Republicans a lot of credit for being particularly bipartisan over the years, either.
Sometimes it’s a lot easier to call Nancy Pelosi and Senator Reid and say, ‘Let’s get this done,’ and not worry about scurrying up Republicans. I would imagine the vote on the stimulus didn’t help, because they worked that and they didn’t get anything, so why bother?
With John Carney‘s recent declaration that he is running for Castle’s seat, Operation Restore Moderate Label is on and it is up to liberals like us to remind fellow Delawareans constantly that Castle’s voting record does not represent Delaware, but only the RNC.
