DE GOP Leader, Mike Protack Breaks W/ Mike Castle

Filed in Delaware by on July 20, 2009

It looks like Protack has his issue: Mike Castle sucks. (Who didn’t see that coming?)

Protack now has his own blog topping a video of him trashing Castle and someone set up this site bootmikecastle.com in late june with most posts coming in the last few days.

Bonus Morning Castle Conjecture: George reads the ogre’s body language.

As I’m watching that, and seeing Castle so calm, with all of those total nutbag, racist, xenophobes spouting garbage at him, I could just tell that he had the look of a man who knows in about a year he won’t have to deal with that BS any more.

I was wondering whether Castle would run for Senate, or not, but his body language in that video said it all. These people have destroyed the Republican party in this state and in this nation. They are paranoid, delusional, and frightening.

I like Mike Castle, while I don’t agree with him on some of the major issues of the last decade or so, I think in sum, he’s been a good public servant to Delaware. I think it’s been good to have at least one Republican in statewide office (Wagner doesn’t count), and it doesn’t get much more liberal for a GOPer today, than Castle. He’s done some good work and for him to be so disrespected like that is shameful.

I hope he has a great retirement, enjoys some time with his wife at the beach, and let’s those people drown in their own ignorance.

    What will we do when we don’t have Mike Castle’s future to kick around anymore?

    Well, there’s always Carper.

  2. A. price says:

    PLEASE tell me you guys have a way of digging up all of mike’s old castle-humping comments

  3. As always you guys are delusional.

    The vote in question is cap and trade and I do not ‘trash’ Mr Castle but I do say his vote was a wrong one in my opinion and as it turns out so do the majority of Republicans.

    Go to http://delawarerepublican.wordpress.com/drtv/ and watch the video. I point out the fallacy of cap and trade and also talk about an alternative.

    There was no vindictiveness or personal attack but a discussion of the facts, something liberals are incapable of doing.

    Gee, Mike Protack, look in the upper right corner and you’ll see where it says “Advertise on Delaware Liberal.” How about you actually do that instead of link spamming and freeloading here. But then, repubs don’t usually pay their own way, so why should anybody expect the Leader of the Delaware Republican Party, Mike Protack, to be any different.

  5. I just can’t believe Jason went over to Protack’s site and watched a video. *shudder* He’s a stronger person than I am for sure.

  6. Geezer says:

    Mike Protack, leader of the Delaware Republican Party, has always been a freeloader. Perhaps one of the DL’ers can give us a link to the Ron Williams column about how he stiffed the young aides who worked for him a couple of years ago — y’know, just to remind any strangers what kind of lowlife we’re dealing with here.

  7. cassandra_m says:

    The Ron Williams column is behind the archive pay wall at the NJ, but here is the classic thread where almost all of the usual litany of Protack issues are brought up: the pink postcards, the sockpuppets, and Protack not paying his bills to some consultants. And of course, the usual unearned confidence that is a hallmark of the Protack campaigns is up front and looking even sillier in retrospect.

  8. liberalgeek says:

    I was talking to a person on Friday about Delaware Politics. The issue of Protack came up. The guy said that he and his wife used to own a small business and Protack was regularly coming in looking for something free. Kind of like the people that show up at Costco just to eat the samples. It does all seem to jive now.

  9. “repubs don’t usually pay their own way”, Sure do, it is called my tax bill for all the liberal ideas which never work but drain a person’s pay check.

    As for Liberal geek, nice try but unless you can name the business you are a liar.

    Advertise here? I am not selling anything but providing information to help save this country and state.

    As for young aides, nice try again but completely false. I assume you have contracts to prove otherwise? You folks remind me of passengers who when the plane is late threaten to “have my job”.

    Bottom line, the videos are very effective and counter all the rubbish you folks spew here.

    Your President is ruining the country one step at a time so of course you have to trash someone else.You need better material.

  10. cassandra_m says:

    Most of your tax bill goes to pay for tax cuts and for the wars still, so I don’t think your taxes are paying for much in terms of liberal ideas yet.

    Perhaps you could get the clue that you don’t have any information that is in the least bit useful to us. But I’m sure you can find your fellow 21%ers and they’ll be suitably enthralled.

  11. Geezer says:

    “Advertise here? I am not selling anything but providing information to help save this country and state.”

    You can’t resist lying even about something this simple. You’re selling yourself and acknowledge it. Cheapskate.

    “As for young aides, nice try again but completely false. I assume you have contracts to prove otherwise?”

    Nice try yourself, dipwad. I’ve spoken with both of them. You’re a liar, a quitter and a delusional clown. Go ahead and sue. Then we’ll see what they have to say under oath.

    “Bottom line, the videos are very effective and counter all the rubbish you folks spew here.”

    Bottom line, I doubt anybody watches them except for your lickspittle Jason O’Neill — and I gather he types in the address with one hand.

  12. You are as dumb as a fence post when you say such garbage. Perhaps you can tell me and others how much of my tax bill goes for the tax cuts or the war? I will save you the embarrassment, you don’t know, you do not have a clue and you never will.

    Unless you have lost what little mind you have, Mr Obama is spending and spending on the war just as Bush did. Obama is spending everywhere else like it was monopoly money and is supporting tax increases of record growth.

    Liberals always have ideas on how to spend other people’s money and how to expand the government but always reject freedom, liberty and opportunity.

    Come back when you have something to say more intelligent than a third grader. Otherwise, let me sunnarize- I won and you lost.

  13. Most of your tax bill goes to pay for tax cuts

    I’m always amazed by folks who believe that allowing Americans to keep the money they earned through their hard work constitutes an expense that must be paid for.

  14. I read somewhere that at least 60% of the deficit came from the Bush tax cuts.

  15. liberalgeek says:

    Mike Protack has called me a liar. I finally have some credibility. 🙂

    The business is no longer in operation, but my source is a fine, upstanding citizen. I suspect when they closed, you moved on to Kinko’s for your needs.

  16. UI: And I read somewhere that the moon is made of green cheese — and that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. I also read somewhere that Chelsea Clinton is Webster Hubbell’s daughter and that Hillary Clinton had a lesbian affair with Janet Reno.

    My point? That your “I read somewhere” comment has little credibility standing alone. After all, I’ve read each of the garbage claims I mentioned above somewhere, but that does not give them any credibility.

  17. John Tobin says:

    I have never met Mike Protack and don’t have a dog in this particular fight,but this is the first time I can remember a potential statewide political candidate commit in writing or in public discourse to calling a potential constituent “as dumb as a fence post”.
    I am hoping that public servants across the spectrum will seek “win-win” situations rather than revel in an “I won , you lost” locker room mentality.
    I may be off base,but I am thinking candidates for public office should be a little more diplomatic than some of the bloggers might be . Elected officials have to build consensus. Bloggers don’t.

  18. Any thread with the word ‘lickspittle’ in it is a worthwhile thread. Tragically underutilized, IESHO. Expect ‘bulo to appropriate this word from Geezer’s vocabulary whenever the mood strikes. Lickspittle. Roll it around in your brain and see what images come to mind…

    BTW, is a lickspittle like a food taster, except that they only taste spit?

  19. cassandra m says:

    I actually wrote a post about where the deficits are and where they came from — said post even included an awesome chart for the reading and numbers challenged among us (I am including both RWR and Protack). So that is where the numbers come from and you have none. Just your usual sneering ignorance. Which doesn’t even get you a seat at the table with the 21%ers, Protack. But keep it up, Protack — you continue to make this blog the permanent repository of every one of your shortcomings and stupidity. Please run for something else so we have an opportunity to share the wealth.

  20. Yes, RwR, I’m at work so I don’t have the time to find the link. You know how to use The Google I assume. I know I didn’t read it at some source with a questionable relationship with the truth like Drudge or WorldNutDaily. I know it’s inconvenient for Republicans to admit that Bush inherited a surplus and created a record deficit while more than doubling the national debt.

  21. Thanks, Cassandra, for the link again. I’ll have to put it in my bookmarks for easy reference.

  22. Laughing says:

    Mike Protack “GOP Leader”????????? I needed a good laugh. Thanks.

  23. Interesting, You say Mike said something, he links to his actual statement, and then you criticize him for linking to it. That says more about you folks than Mike.

    The fact that his statement was nearly indisputable by facts has to be even more irritating to you.

  24. Geezer says:

    David: Considering your level of intelligence, I believe you might need this advice: Inhale. Hold it in. Now exhale. Repeat.

    “Kids, want to go to out to lunch?”

    Where?

    Costco?

  26. Ed Heath says:

    I’m new to viewing all of these blogs on both sides of the fence. It looks like politics as usual “he said…, no he said…”. Does anybody know of a common sense, middle of the road, blogger (or for that fact a politician) that searches for answers instead of mud slinging?

    On another note, Sam’s Club has some good samples too!

  27. notjason330 says:

    Ed Heath. Read Jason330. He is a very common sense, answers oriented blogger.

  28. Yes, reporting someone’s words now counts as mudslinging. I guess we need a no-nonsense blogger to tell us what the words actually meant.

  29. MJ says:

    I believe the only thing republicans pay for are (1) meth; (2) massages from male escorts; (3) plane tickets to Argentina; and (4) alimony.

  30. massages from male escorts

    I thought those are called mouth hugs.

  31. If you can’t tell I’m in a pissy mood.

  33. orestes says:

    Mike Protack is a lying opportunist who has unfortunately latched onto the Republican party. Most Republicans think he is being funded by Democrats. Since his campaign finance reports are a joke no one can quite figure this out. Protack has a core group of lackeys who patrol these websites looking for any opportunity to insert his name. They are a sorry bunch like Jason O’Neill. They have no girlfriends or sex life.

  34. Ah, the usual from liars like geezer and geek and those who throw out personal attacks and get upset when someone responds to them.

    To geezer from WDEL please put them under oath and for geek name the business. To cassandra I am sorry I insulted fence posts.

    Liberals are in a pickle now. Their President is slowly wrecking the country and they can’t figure out what to do so of course anyone who speaks up must be silenced.

    For the folks here please do log and record every minute and every word. As liberals like Obama destroy all we value your blog will be seen for what it is, whining, blathering and nothing of substance.

    Now that you have been silenced I will go rotate my tires.

  35. liberalgeek says:

    Good one there, sport. I am willing to go under oath. As soon as the lawsuit comes through. Let me know.

  36. Will the comedy from Mike Protack lift my pissy mood?

    Now that you have been silenced I will go rotate my tires.

    *giggle*

  37. cassandra_m says:

    Hey Mr. Shallow Bench, at least we have readers. The only way people know you have something to say is if you do it over here — no one knows you are running for anything or even blogging. But there is a symmetry in that, yes? No one will vote for you and no one will read your blog or watch your silly videos.

    But no worries, Mr. Shallow Bench — rotating your tires is way more useful to you than either running for office or putting your intellectual deficiencies on display here are.

    Just hope that someone tied a string on your finger to remind you to replace the lug nuts.

  38. liberalgeek says:

    I’m guessing that he is getting his tires rotated at Costco. Either that or it is another euphemism, like hiking the Appalachian Trail.

  39. Art Downs says:

    Back in 1964, it was said that the Goldwater Gang had ruined the GOP and many ‘moderates’ sold out to the utterly corrupt LBJ. This is the nature of ‘Moderate Loyalty’. Yet Goldwater rescued the GOP from ideological irrelevance and brought us Ronald Reagan.

    Perhaps those party leaders who advise us to ‘forget Reagan’ would foist another Wendell Willkie on the party. For those who either never learned or forgot history, Willkie was a former New Dealer who did a party switch and became the darling of some print media moguls. He used paid demonstrators to stampede a deadlocked convention. He went on to found the Liberal Party of New York.

    We saw a variety of sellout tactics by the goofy Senator Chafee. Then there was the blackmail of a third party run by Jim Jeffords before he did his infamous switch.

    What is the purpose of a Republican Party if it is to be merely ‘Dem Lite’? The alternative to the politics of incremental abandonment of principle is a migration of Republicans to a variety of fringe-party sideshows. We are already seeing this in the special election in Sussex County. Winning this one for Booth could send a message and could allow an even more powerful message to be sent by electing a Republican has his successor.

    Let’s not have another Ross Perot fiasco.

  40. I love the idea that Mike Protack is going to save the GOP. 🙄

    Mrs Isotope write:

    I read somewhere that at least 60% of the deficit came from the Bush tax cuts.

    No, 100% of the deficit comes from Congress (and state legislatures) spending more money than the government receives in revenue.

    Governor Bush ran in 2000 on a platform including large tax cuts. As it happens, Vice President Gore ran on a platform which had a large tax cut, simply not as large as the one Mr Bush proposed. The American people want lower taxes, and vote for the candidates who promise them. Heck, even Barack Obama was running on tax cuts, and had a tax cut calculator on his campaign website showing you how much more you’d save in taxes under his plans than under John McCain’s proposals. Heck, it’s still available!

    There was, of course, a candidate who ran on raising your taxes; anybody here remember how many states Walter Mondale carried? 🙂

    Our good friends in California, probably our most liberalest of states, are facing a huge state budget deficit. Governor Schwarzeneggar and the state legislators bravely put tax increases on the ballot, to let California voters decide for themselves; the tax increases — supposedly only temporary ones — were voted down by nearly two-to-one margins.

    Congress and the state legislatures should spend no more than what the voters are willing to pay in taxes. If some programs have to be cut, then they need to be cut.

  42. cassandra_m says:

    No, 100% of the deficit comes from Congress (and state legislatures) spending more money than the government receives in revenue.

    Which equals the Bush tax cuts and other programs that he and Congress decided to borrow money for. To the tune of about $670B. Not that you’ll understand how the books balance, but if you wanted all of those tax cuts and wars and Medicare Part D, then you should have been screaming 7 years or so back that this was unsustainable.

    But following the money is definitively NOT a repub strong suit.

  43. Cassandra, silly, deficits only matter when Democrats are in charge. Don’t you know anything?

  44. For the record, the budget-busting deficits were run up by a Republican president with a Republican Congress.

  45. cassandra_m says:

    This is more of unitary magic unicorn theory of budgeting according to the GOP. You get your tax cuts, you get your new programs, you get your wars, you get your transfer of taxpayer funds (generated and borrowed) to your buds and Life Is Good! No sacrifices, no need to worry because they are all getting their slice and telling everyone else that government services are just plain free.

  46. Dana says:

    Cassandra, I was screaming about the idiotic Medicare prescription drug plan, and IO continually scream about the wasteful spending we have. Our biggest problem is that we don’t know the difference between necessities and luxuries.

    You put me in charge, and I’ll be able to both cut taxes and balance the budget, and I can do it almost immediately. Of course, I operate on the if you don’t work, you don’t eat philosophy, so some people might find that they have to get off their dead asses and work.

    If the government writes a check to an individual that is not for salaries earned, direct services provided, or retirement paid for, it’s illegitimate.

  47. jason330 says:

    Just a note of clarification. Walking to the mailbox and taking out a divided check is productive work in Dana’s wingnutopia.

  48. cassandra_m says:

    I’ll be able to both cut taxes and balance the budget, and I can do it almost immediately.

    No, actually, you won’t. You cheered on the wars and you cheered on the tax cuts and those things created structural deficits. You will not wipe out enough of the social services to address those deficits and if you did, you would not last very long in office. The massive bits of waste are really in the DOD, which you folks don’t mind overspending on. The thing that you folks ignore is that there are real constituencies for many of these government services. And many of those constituencies are in the buildings that ring the DC beltway from the Vietnam Memorial Bridge to the Wilson Bridge. Until you start emptying out those buildings, you will never reduce the size of the budget, you will never cut taxes much. People want the services they want. The politician that is frank with people about what they have to pay for has a chance to reduce any of it, but there is no American pol who will do the heavy lifting to do what you think needs to be done. None.

  49. I think you’re right Cassandra, that we won’t be able to address the deficit until we face the defense budget. Obama is having a hard time just getting rid of the F22s that we don’t need. I don’t see any politicians brave enough to take on the defense budget.

  50. Geezer says:

    You are what you are, Mike — lying, cheating, welshing and clearly not fit for public office. Waiting for the lawsuit, sport. Can’t wait to depose the two kids you stiffed.
