Mike Castle’s “Trash and Grab”
Rachel Maddow explains the “trash and grab” strategy of the Republican party. “Trash and grab” is the term that has been coined to describe the Republican habit of trashing the stimulus then taking credit for funds coming into their district. Mike Castle comes about 6:00 into the clip, and oh yeah, there’s a picture of Castle with a giant check.

As Rachel points out, it’s not just the stimulus – it’s everything that Republicans have claimed to support in the past, even their own ideas. They vote no on PAYGO rules, on a bipartisan deficit reduction plan, on health care reform. They are the party of no, but more than that they’re the party of “no to Obama.” They don’t have any intellectual consistency, and they don’t have any interest in solving the problems they created in this country. They are the anti-America, hope for America’s failure party. Mike Castle seems like a nice guy, but when push comes to shove he still votes with his party. I don’t expect him to be any different as a Senator.

GO RACHAEL! Hypocrisy thy name is Mike Castle!
“Mike Castle is running for Senator now, presumably on the platform of being a giant hypocrite.”

Ww, wht lkr. Wh ws Rchl bfr th gndr rssgnmnt srgr?
and when the right wing has no argument to make, they go for that. good job DumdInfant in the house. way to uphold that stereotype of RethugRetard
Obviously, Elephant doesn’t have an argument to rebut the charges, so goes for the insult.
To be fair, I think most Republicans are running on the giant hypocrite platform.
and these are people who likely find ann coulter and saint sarah attractive *shudder*barf*
how intelligent.
M plsr, sshl.
they are so cute when they dont have anything relevant to say. like monkeys flinging poo… but less interpersonal skills.
And you can’t blame them UI. Our shit ass mass media gives them a free pass.
This is great. Love it that Castle gets a shout out from Rachel.
According to TPM, the DNC, the DSCC and the DCCC are going to make a big push on the GOP trash & grab strategy.
Watch for it, especially if we start seeing this in the local media.
The Republican Trash and Grab sounds a lot like the Democrat “I voted for the war before I voted against it”. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones…
Those who have had all the windows in their glass house busted out by Republicans gotta start returning fire when a couple of rocks drop in their lap.
