Day 23: Mike Castle’s Betrayal of Delaware

Today we commemorate the 23rd day of Congressman Mike Castle’s betrayal of Delaware when he did not vote for the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009. He even got a second chance in February, but failed to vote for the people of Delaware, instead he chose to vote for the wingnuts of Delaware.

So we focus today’s post on Congressman Mike Castle’s reelection chances.

Day 19: Mike Castle’s Betrayal of Delaware

The LTE that I submitted to the News Journal yesterday:

With his vote against the Stimulus Package (and against the largest middle class tax cut in history), Congressman Mike Castle definitively demonstrates that his allegiances are no longer with the citizens of Delaware he was elected to represent. Mr. Castle was quick to support every facet of President Bush’s agenda that increased both the deficit and the debt: tax cuts that took us from historic surpluses to historic deficits; voted for Patriot Act provisions that increased spending on multiple fronts, including unneeded surveillance of Americans; an unnecessary war in Iraq that adds to our debt burden every day; and Medicare Part D, which made sure that the government would not be able to negotiate preferred pricing of prescriptions paid for by taxpayers.
