At this point, I'd rather him not run. He wouldn't try to keep Dems in check. So what is the point in getting him to run?

From a Republican perspective, would you rather have somebody that votes with you 50% of the time or 0%?

It's called principle. Try it, sometime.

Republicans vary a lot on social issues and even a little on economic ones, but Cap and Trade is a big no-no.

It's called stupidity. Are you seriously saying you prefer party line DEMs to "RINOs"?


No, try learning to read. The again, you are probably thinking that I'm asking if you like fish.

Son, try to learn spelling before attempting to prove your wit to one of our most respected members.

I'm not trying to be witty. I feel sorry for you that you do think it is just that.

This is what you said. If there's "no point" in getting him to run, you appear to claim that a Senator Castle would vote practically the same way as any Democrat.

Do you also believe that Olympia Snowe or Susan Collins are as bad as a partisan Democrat?

It baffles me that you'd not prefer someone who votes your views 50-60% of the time compared to someone who never shares your opinions.






Let me spell it out again.

Core issue= Denied

Other issues don't matter, if a core issue is ignored.

Yes, that means putting up someone less likely to be elected.

I have one foot out the door myself on the Republican Party, but that's because the Republicans are showing a lack of core support for fiscal conservatism. That and their obsession with social conservatism. It goes completely against principle.
