1. Delaware needs a Democratic Senator.
With Tom Carper (who is ‘torn’ by the Castle announcement) and Mike Castle in the Senate, Delaware would essentially have no Democratic representation in that body. Just two corporate apologists/whores.
The lazy media has somehow allowed the word ‘moderate’ to apply to those who unapologetically defend corporate hegemony against the rights of everyone else.
Granted, Castle and Carper are ‘moderate’ on social issues. But the simple fact that they are not social wingnuts in no way makes them moderates.
They are both bagmen for corporate interests, period. And they both deliver corporate bang for the buck. For all intents and purposes, they are the same person. We cannot afford two people so at odds with the needs of average Delawareans to ‘represent’ us in DC.
