  1. That is great. Castle and his big stunt check also appeared on CNN. I really do think the hypocrite label is starting to stick to Republicans.

    The Hill reporting not one repuke has signed up to sponsor the jobs bill. Anyone thinking they want this country to succeed, should ask themselves why do the republicans hate this country so much! Harry Reid was a damn fool to reduce the jobs bill by millions when he should have known no republican would have signed on if the bill was even $1 million. Why do the lame ass democrats give a damn what the repukes think? Are they so shy of true leadership they would permit the party of no to stop every measure that benefits the people. Two corporate parties, one headed snake.

    This is why:

    That’s because Reid has left the bill’s central job creation provisions intact, while jettisoning tax breaks and other provisions intended to win Republican support.

    The K Street giveaway bill would have cost 85 billion while the one just focused on jobs cost 15. If you want to do a jobs bill do a jobs bill. It is time to stop treating all of these bills like an Open Bar — where you can drink all you want for no money.

    If repubs will only sign up to a jobs bill if it includes giveaways to their lobbyist pals, then they can explain that.

    Michael Newbold Castle is literally the poster boy for GOP hypocrisy. That is sweet.

  5. Exactly Cass. Democrats are calling the Republicans’ bluff. The Republicans complained about transparency, pork and backroom deals. And they claim to love tax cuts. This bill is simple, transparent, has no deals and contains tax cuts. Democrats are going to make the Republicans vote against it, as a group. Once Republicans do that, Democrats really have no choice but to pursue elimination/curtailing of the filibuster and passing the bill through reconciliation.

    Republicans should be careful. The hypocrite label is really starting to stick to them (ironically I think it was their votes against PAYGO and the fiscal commission that did it). A vote against the jobs bill will just add fuel to this fir. Up until now, there was absolutely no downside to Republican lockstep against Democratic initiatives. That is starting to change, as long as Democrats keep hammering them on it.

    If Coons isn’t careful he might end up winning this thing.

    DelawareLiberal was the first media outlet to publish the smoking gun picture of Castle’s hypocrisy.
