#1 Well crap, the last thing we need in either the Senate or the House is another RINO (Republican in Name Only), just when we thought we got rid of Arlen Spector, this guys wants to torment us for six years.

While I pine anxiously for the mid term elections and the bloodbath that will occur, I do not look longingly toward seeing a bunch of sissies with no spine or principle running as Republicans. Crap, we need some ideological consistency here...as well as...some guts to vote for the general good instead of a bridge in every back yard (pork). Cap and trade will render millions of americans homeless and unemployed as the cost of energy will drive jobs to third world countries with cheap labor and cheap power. I have enough trouble paying the upside down mortgage on my house now because of the machinations of Barney Frank and Jamey Gorelick, without having to worry about my utility bills going up a 1000 percent.

Can we find a hard core, no cap and trade, no healthcare confiscation, fiscal conservative, who will run against this sissy in the primaries?

#2 Sure you could find a Tom Coburn look-alike to run for the seat, but he'd be sure to lose. This is Delaware we're talking about. If Castle turns out to be the 51st trunk, I'll think he's a good one, at least in voting for committee chairmanships.

#3 Good point, now if we can get him to vote the way we want.

As long as we can spike the left's cannons in the next election.

I think the big rush to get all of this legislation passed is because the Democrats know they are going to get clobbered in the next election and none of this stuff would get passed in 2011...

Any guarantee that a coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats (why don't they just call themselves Republicans) can unravel the Stimulus (Porkulus) and the Healthcare reform if they get control of both houses?
