monoblogue moderates comments. So I don’t know if my response to his crazy ass post is going to show up.

This is a hoot Michael. You are a comedian in real life right?

“Returning to my original point, I have to wonder why the Club For Growth instills so much fear in liberal circles.”

Oh my. We are soooo worried about the Club for Growth. The country is really clamoring for a group that wants to shrink the government to a size where is could be drowned in bath water. That’s the winning vision that will sweep your lunatics into office.

And this…

“…the party that dropped its support of Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman just six years removed from being their Vice-Presidential nominee because he didn’t follow the liberal orthodoxy on the Long War.”

My sides…stop..I’m begging. Bad Democrats. That Joe Lieberman was salt of the earth. We were all wet about trying to get rid of that lump. Now our party is rudderless.

Or maybe you are not a comic? Oh my God, you can’t be this stupid. Can you?

He is all about Mike Castle and could give a shit about the party. Just look at it?

The same was true of Gilchrest and the Maryland GOP establishment bent over for him…up to a point.

Anyone who has spoken to both Castle and Gilchrest can sense that the difference in frontal lobe capacity does seem to make a difference.

Those of us who have played the game long enough know that politics is the art of the possible. However, sometimes it is necessary to dump the Establishment. 1964 might have seemed a debacle to some but it saved the GOP from boring irrelevance. Some things take years to work out.

You’ve hit on another thing about Castle that I would hate if I were a Republican. He is all about Mike Castle and could give a shit about the party. Just look at it?

Anyway, since I’m a Dem – it is the only thing I like about him.

Castle may bother a lot of people but in the land of the blind, Cyclops is king.

Mike casts enough sensible votes that he discourages more that the Republican base from taking a risk with someone farther to the left.

This gets him re-elected but does not create the type of grass-roots enthusiasm that can build a party.

The Republican party in Delaware is in such shambles I don’t think it matters much.

They are self destructing just trying to be moderates.

If you think Harris is in step w/ voters – doesn’t Castle drive you nuts?

Harris will win. He is in step with the voters. The Democrats lost the house for 12 years until they could admit that voters liked social and fiscal conservatism. They campaigned that way in a lot of districts and won. Too bad most of them don’t vote that way.

Gilchrest has been an arrogant worm who degenerated into a time-server.

Harris is a true citizen-legislator with a real day job. He took on a seemingly powerful incumbent the first time out.

Kratovil is a another liberal transplant from the Washington Suburbs in a district where the incumbent governor is disliked.

As for any Club for Growth effort against Castle, forget it. Who has the name recognition to run against him? He is preferable to any prospective general election opponent and when he is attacked from the left, it merely consolidates the base.
