UPDATED: Mike Castle Joins With Democrats To Call For Larger Federal Role In Insurance Regulation
This is some kind of window dressing or ass covering. Obviously I have been duped by Mike Castle and his staff who are low life lying ass losers.
When I say Castle is a “grown up” I’m talking about stuff like this.
A Delaware congressman is among a group of seven urging new Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to increase oversight in the insurance industry.
Rep. Michael Castle (D-Del.) was among the authors of a letter to Geithner Jan. 23 asking him to either create an office within his department or assign someone “to fill a void on insurance oversight and expertise at the federal level.”
“We strongly believe that this would be a valuable – and indeed necessary – interim step which would provide policymakers with insight into issues surrounding the insurance market as reform is contemplated,” the letter reads.
The authors of the letter are Rep. John Adler (D-N.J.), Rep. Melissa Bean (D-Ill.), Rep. John Campbell (R-Calif.), Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.), Castle, Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.)and Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.)
We all know that the idiotic wingnut talking points about “smaller government” really mean a smaller regulatory presence in the market place that will allow corporations to run amok.
I’m glad Castle does not sign onto that nonsense.

Did you catch the “D” they put next to his name? Kinda funny. Guess they made an assumption.

Barn door is open.
Horse is gone.
Castle writes letter to increase oversight of barn door.
Jason applauds wildly.

Jason, with Castle growing up and Bush gone does this mean you are going to be irrelevant! LOL just joking.
Keep their feet to the fires !

Well that was certainly a whirlwind romance.

Oh well. I’m all about hope and looking for the best in people.
It didn’t work out, so now back to work.

Huh? What happened?Nevermind. I saw the other thread. You were swayed by others’ opinions.

Hooray Jason! Welcome back!
It is good to look for the best in people, and retirement would be best for Castle. But I think you knew that all along.

Dingle and Kennedy fought for years to take insurance regulation away from the states so they could give the jobs to their family members.
- then came Enron
- then came the banking bust
- then came what’s his name who ran the $50 billion pyramid scheme
Giving this power to the feds means its all-in, all-done; time to move to Canada.

Does a time serving hack such as Mike Castle really inspire Republicans in the State?
Perhaps he is part of the problem.
The ‘cult of personality’ style of leadership typically leads to political entropy after the Golden Boy croaks.

You were swayed by others’ opinions.
The great moderate bi-parisan stalwart, Mike Castle made a prediction that zero Republicans would vote for the economic recovery act.
It is getting national attantion. You must have missed it.
