Castle Votes YES On Financial Reform

Filed in National by on June 30, 2010

The new Financial Reform legislation just passed the House of Representatives 237-192. Mike Castle voted yes on this bill, despite previously voting no (Two other Republicans voted yes – Ahn Joseph Cao and Walter Jones). I guess Castle is not worried about Christine O’Donnell or the teabaggers. Judging by the turnout at the Tea Party rally at Dover today, Castle is right to ignore them (photo by Mike Matthews).

Wow...teabagger attendance on legislative green is embarrassingly low!!

    The News Journal counted 80 teabaggers which is ten times more than any other first hand report I’ve heard. Time for a “ethics in journalism” panel.

    I think this was a ‘free’ vote for Castle. The measure was going to pass, anyway. Voting for the act helps polish the supposedly moderate credentials he claims each time elections roll around. The corporate powers that would like to see him in the Senate will not object to a free yes vote, and I agree – he is not troubled by the teabaggers and providing any fodder for O’Donnell. This vote was just one more calculated move in Castle’s plan to retire after his time in the Senate.
