Mike Castle stands for changing the Senate Rules to disallow the use of the Filibuster to stop Legislation going through.  Such a move serves only to empower the Lame Duck Congress to speed through more Far Left Programs like Cap and Trade, Card Check, and more.

Mike Castle is the presumed-to-be GOP nominee in the Delaware Senate Primary for this November’s Special Senate Election to fill the Joe Biden Seat.  This is a series on Mike Castle that details his unconstitutional, extreme left Liberal voting history.  If Mike Castle wins the GOP nomination in the Delaware Senate Primary race, Freedomists, Constitutionalists, will have no hope of stopping the Obama-Reid-Pelosi Lame Duck Congress from cramming Cap and Trade, Card Check, and many more extreme left programs through.

Castle expressed to blogger/reporter Mike Stark a willingness to look at Senate filibuster reform.

Stark: If you win your Senate seat, would you support filibuster reform?

Castle: I might. I’d look at that, it’s something I would certainly look at… I think that’s an issue that transcends Republicans or Democrats. It’s a question of how well does the Senate function. I’m impressed with Senators who have been there a long time, who argue that’s it’s perfectly good. But from the outside, it looks to me like a distraction from pursuing an agenda.

Castle: I am basically looking at a lot of procedures in the Senate, in terms of their rules and lack thereof, and you know, trying to determine what improvements can be made… I may speak to that before the election.

At one level, this is not an entirely credible response. Castle would have six years of job security and would not be beholden to anyone who elected him, namely Republicans, to follow through on filibuster reform, especially if Democrats still held the chamber. However, Castle wasn’t altogether forthcoming about what rules he would seek to change, and could potentially find common ground on some that Democrats wished to push. Either that, or he’s talking out of both sides of his mouth.

The Delaware Senate Race of 2010 is the most important Election this midterm cycle.  A true Constitutional Conservative could take a seat in the Senate immediately.  This one seat could derail the Obama-Reid-Pelosi plans to cram through Obama’s Leftist agenda with a Lame-Duck Congress.  The Freedomist recognizes only one candidate in the Delaware Senate Race who can fill this role, Christine O’Donnell.  To that end, we are producing this series of articles on her first opponent, Mike Castle, in the GOP primary.  We encourage fellow Freedomists to share information on the details of this fundamental race for Freedom, the Delaware Senate Race.
