CNN Features Mike Castle as a GOP Stimulus Hypocrite
This is from Rick Sanchez’s show Wednesday, I think — Mike Castle and the ARRA stunt check is featured early in the segment:
And for those of you who might want a screensaver of Mike Castle appearing on CNN labled as a hypocrite, here you are:

Wow, that Castle big check picture is getting a lot of play.
It ignores the fact that some of these projects were just accelerated. They had already been on the drawing board with support from Republicans. Most Republicans supported some stimulus. This one was wasteful and mistargeted. It was a waste. It should have either cost half as much with the better results if done properly.
Democrats took advantage of a crisis to load it up with junk. That is why Republicans voted against it. The result of the misspent package is that we are actually behind the world in pulling out of the recession. The natural economy would have actually been faster if government did not absorb the lending capital and keep it from business. The countries like Germany that did very little bounced back faster. There is good stimulus. There is no stimulus. There is bad stimulus. Bad stimulus is one that is slower than the no stimulus rate. We choose the bad.
This is probably not the way Matt Denn wanted to get national exposure.
Leave it to David to make the case for the hypocricy. If these were supported projects, Castle clearly voted against them in the interests of his party — not in the interests of thes projects that are clearly in the interests of Delawareans.
GOP = hypocrites
Mike Castle is one of the biggest hypocrites in Congress but a post by cassandra yesterday showed that at least half of the Republican caucus has publicly bashed the stimulus while praising certain provisions of the stimulus that benefitted their district.
They are even making the case for the stimulus. The stimulus funding worthwhile projects that created jobs in Congressional districts all over the country. That’s why it was large.
Remember, pass the word “Castling.”
What is Chris Coons plans for Delaware? Will Coons support the public option? Oh wait, he has to check with the Democratic Party who checks with the State Chamber of Commerce to determine what his vote would be.
spending is spending and waste is waste… It is all relative… Using tax dollars to build a nursery center, for example, will always appear as waste to a wealthy republican…one, who if he sacrificed one hour of his average hourly income, it would be enough to build a complete nursery center complex. But that spending is not waste to a previously unemployed person, whose house is a step from being sold out from under him, who’s three months behind on all utility bills, who’s family eats on $8 dollars a day., That is the best spent federal money in the entire history of the United States of America.
Now, the majority of United States citizens voted in November 2008, to reject the republican way of doing things… They did so, because it became obvious to most Americans, that republicans simply didn’t know what to do to help America anymore…..
Therefore what is waste and what is not, is now being judged by an entire different criteria. Most of us if asked, would agree that Mike Castle’s way of thinking which may have had some merit when he was first elected to Congress in 1992… is old and outdated in our present environment…
Hey, go out and try finding parts for a 1992 Toyota or 1992 Commadore 6000. That is the time frame our current Congressmen and the losing party’s candidate for Senate, hails from…
