Happy Hour With Mike Castle

The campaign for U.S. Senate is now joined. New Castle County Executive Chris Coons has decided to take on Congressman Mike Castle. As an alumnus of Tower Hill School, it is nice to know the Senate seat will go either way to a Hiller. I believe it will be Castle ('57) rather than Coons ('80).

I will be giving every effort I can to the Castle Campaign, which was the first campaign for which I volunteered as a very young person in 1984.

Castle's record of service to Delaware is simply unparalleled.

For those who would attempt to make an issue of age or health in this race, think again. Mike Castle is as mentally sharp and physically spry as I have ever seen him. He is in excellent physical health and, from all I can see, truly fired up for this challenge. He's also only 4 years older than our esteemed Vice-President.

But don't believe me. See for yourself.....please join us in the Young Republicans of Delaware this Friday evening from 6-8 pm at Dead President's on Union Street in Wilmington for a Castle Campaign happy hour.

The guest bartenders will be the guests of honor...the Congressman himself and his lovely and gracious wife Jane.

I'll pass.

When Castle was Governor, during his eight years state spending increased 3x the rate of inflation (this includes adjustments for population).

During his tenure he out spent Ruth Ann and Tom Carper.

This was hardly what we hoped for as someone who served as Pete DuPont Lt. Governor.

Other than the "coins" what else has the a guy actually done for Delaware. Everyone thinks the guy is a moderate he is not. His voting record during the Bush years show him voting with Bush 93% of the time. All the tax cuts, all the military spending, War in Iraq, the first big Paulson bailout (with no mechanism to pay back the taxpayers). Now again I defy you to list the accomplishments of this neo con.

Frankly I'm glad I don't have a laundry list of federal government nonsense pushed by Mike Castle.

Leave that to central gov't showboats like neocon Joe Biden with his statute-clogging "Biden Crime Bills".

This is a libertarian blog. Unless you're talking about slashing the wasteful, fraudulent, abusive federal government then you are barking up the wrong tree.

Nevertheless I will put you and Mr. Galt down as "unconvinced".

But get used to calling Castle Senator, because he is bound for victory, even against the wily wealthy tax-raising Democrat political careerist Coons.

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

With apologies to Hube: dopey WNJ comments of the week

(Well, Hube, at least I'm pulling out Facebook comments and not poaching on your preserve in the Letters.) You will all remember the case this week of the photo of the young man posing with the .22LR squirrel rifle that his Dad got him for his birthday with resulted in Family Services and the local police attempting to search his house.  The story itself is a travesty since neither the father nor the boy had done anything remotely illegal (and check out the picture for how careful the son is being not to have his finger inside the trigger guard when the photo was taken). But the incident is chiefly important for revealing in the Comments Section--within Delaware--the fact that many backers of "common sense gun laws" really do have the elimination of 2nd Amendment rights and eventual outright confiscation of all privately held firearms as their objective: Let's run that by again: Elliot Jacobson says, This instance is not a case of a father bonding with h

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?
