Clearly Mike Castle is going to have to run (for all intents and purposes) as a Dem and his announcement this week on the Charlie Copeland hour of the Rick Jensen show will no doubt be full of “moderate” asides, “bi-partisan” flibble-flabble and good will towards men.
Well, it seems that wingnuts, both near and far are getting their preemptive freak out on. One of my favorites is a nut bag writing at patriotroom.com.
It’s a personal thing with me, but I like people that go by the name they were given at birth. Sorry to all your alternative Michaels out there, but “Mike” seems to me to be indicative of a weak spirit (this only applies to him – I don’t like him. If you’re a Michael, feel free to use Mike – sounds good. Strong). So this guy sucks even before I write anything about him.
That’s just a warm up. This guy has picked up the fact that Castle is the sworn enemy of unborn, fetus-Americans:
Drifting into other areas in which “Mike” has sold his soul to Beelzebub, I find it instructive that Planned Parenthood gives him a rating of 75, while the National Right to Life Committee gives him the goose egg -0-. This guy’s a Republican?
Further on interest-group rating, wheat growers dislike him (25), farmers are skeptical (37), agricultural employers would rather have manure-spreading duty (-0-) (trust me, it sucks – talk about stains that are tough to get out), and fresh produce would rather spend the night in the field with gas heaters to ward off a freeze (-0-).
Surely he helps hunters, right? Sportsmen and Animal Owner’s Voting Alliance: -0-.
It seems “Mike” isn’t very pro-the-stuff-we-need-to-eat unless, of course, the stuff-we-need-to-eat is dead babies. What a douche.
Please note: That’s not me saying that. That’s an upright patriotic American teabagger in his full wingnut glory. But wait! There is an honest to gosh “litmus test” let’s see how Castle does…
Taxes? National Taxpayers Union -D-. His shining light: National Education Association -A-. Good for him. He’s loved by the group that single-handedly destroyed the public-school system. The American Family Association tosses a shoe at him (-0-) and the Family Research Council manages a measly 23.
Onto the litmus test: That machined and polished metal that you will remove from my cold, dead fingers … the 2d Amendment personal right to be locked and loaded. National Rifle Association gave “Mike” a grade of F, and the Gun Owners of America gave him … wait for it .. a rating of F-. F MINUS?!?! Have the hell bad to do you have to be to add a MINUS to an F. Oh my fricking lord.
F minus. Ouch! Let’s be fair. Mike Castle wanting to grab all the wingnut guns is the one thing I like about him. The one thing that I think we can all agree on is that the wingnuts need to stop going around shooting everyone. I applaud Mike Castle for his stand on that one.
Enough with the love-fest. Art Downs, our local wingnut tries to work up that kind of bile but it just seems like so much Wahhh!.. after that classic smack down.
