THE SPIGOT OPENS:
Tea Party Express Launches Independent Expenditure Campaign for
Christine O’Donnell in Delaware U.S. Senate Race
The Tea Party Express (website: www.TeaPartyExpress.org) is pleased to announce the commencement of its Independent Expenditure campaign in support of Conservative Republican Christine O’Donnell’s bid for U.S. Senate in Delaware against Liberal RINO Mike Castle.
The expenditures can be tracked on the FEC’s Independent Expenditure page here:

“We are launching an aggressive multi-media and multi-platform campaign to help propel Christine O’Donnell to victory, and we’ve only just begun,” said Amy Kremer, Chairman of the Tea Party Express.
The launch of the Independent Expenditure campaign comes on the heels of a new poll which shows Conservative Republican Christine O’Donnell surging. O’Donnell and Mike Castle are now in a tight single-digit race with O’Donnell leading Castle in 2 out of 3 of Delaware’s counties.
##
Conservative Republican Christine O’Donnell has made a dramatic surge in the polls, and now trails Liberal RINO Mike Castle by a margin of just 43.7% – 38.0%. But wait – it gets better. O’Donnell now leads Castle in 2 out of 3 counties in Delaware!
“O’Donnell now leads Castle in 2 out of 3 counties in Delaware!”
This poll is pure BS. How many people did they poll? Where are the cross tabs? The O’Donnell-ites are known liars and frauds!! I’ll laugh my ass off at you nit wits the day after primary day.
O’Donnell is a walking corpse of a candidate. She is done. Finished.
I attended the Delaware 9-12 Patriots meeting last night in Millsboro and spoke to their spokesman and representative and they support Christine 100%. Why is that not a surprise.
Perhaps it’s because O’Donnell will based on the issues instead of the money and power.
You detractors can take you kudos now because you won’t get them later. Oh! while you’re taking your Kudos buy a pizza and beer. It will make Castles’ defeat more palatable.
NOOOOOOOooooooooo!!!!!!!
Sorry Jason
Get the psychological help that you need. The next bad thing to happen is that your trust fund may be seized by the socialist government. You will have to work. They are hiring in the evisceration department of Allen’s chicken plant in Harbeson DE.

Sounds good, but if O’ Wackadoodle pulls off a miracle and beats Castle – I think I’ll be able to scrounge up a silver lining elsewhere.
I’m voting for O’Donnell but way I figger, whether she wins or loses….either way…I WIN.
Should Christine win….well that eventuality speaks for itself.
Should Castle win….listen up….especially TW, Judson, yes even Mr. Fink….I will be watching every….I mean EVERY move Castle makes as a Senator. You let him vote FOR anything involving Cap and Tax you will see me tearing up these boards with I TOLD YOU SO’S.
I will Blog on my own Blog, on Frank’s Blog, I will write letters to Caesar Rodney, I will be sure that YOUR CHILDREN know what you promoted, what you actively and openly endorsed. I am saving the posts….not Apo Witchy-Woman or Jason the Trust Fund nutball….these are people without meaningful lives. I am saving the posts of once proud Conservatives who jumped on the bandwagon and when they could have just kept their damn mouths shut all laughed and mocked and hollered and hooted and beat the hell of a candidate…a single woman who….God forbid please…had money problems. You could have kept your mouths shut but you went the extra mile to get the fine, fine, honest Mike Castle elected and just wait. Wait until Senator Castle votes for Cap and Trade….no matter what they call it. Wait until Castle votes for five more TARP bailouts. Wait until Castle votes for more DISCLOSE acts. Wait until Castle joins the Maine ladies as we know he will.
All this for a known traitor who voted, get this, for TARP bailouts for GM, banks and other big companies who too had money problems and managed themselves into the ground but this is only a bad thing when you are single, pretty woman, not a big company who can give me money.
For I have lost any respect I ever had for anyone who ever once called themselves a Conservative then threw away all respect they had to get Mike Castle elected.
But hey….Christine O’Donnell will finally be paying her damn bills and for this the country and Delaware will be waaaaay better off,.
“All this for a known traitor”
Have you lost your mind? Just because someone does something you don’t believe in you call them a traitor?
It’s crazy talk, Mark. Pat’s also going to make sure that YOUR CHILDREN know what you promoted.
Yeesh. What Mark said.
I think he is a traitor to the Conservative movement.
I can’t say this?
Y’all know that sooner or later Castle’s going to do something horrific. Y’all know it in your heart of hearts.
To those who want to paint me as a nut….you know he’s going to let you down.
And you have nothing else.
As for your children knowing….well I’m going to put it out there. Try to make it sound sinister.
It’s what Castle defenders do.
they have nothing else. Cause their guy WILL let them down.
I don’t think O’Donnell’s going to win. I’m positive that Castle will do something to embarrass you all.
Pat – I don’t have a meaningful life??? LOLOL
you’re the O’donnell supporter – that alone tells me what kind of life you have!…LOL
Typical wingnut – making statements on which you know NOTHING about
But the lives I spent saving, the uniform I wore and the meritorious serice medals I won – mean nothing to you – why would they???
BUT- I do know those who are alive because of me and those who now have a chance at life because of me – don’t feel my life was meanless at all – and their feeling about me matter – not yours
so fools like you – just are that – ignorant, sad, angry …fools
Pat honey – we don’t have to paint you as a nut
you done did that yourself
Pat — the only ones I know who think Castle is a conservative are morons like Jason “Trust Fund” Scott over at DL. So, how can you be a traitor to a movement which you were never a part of?
Hey, I’m just a misguided Dem, but I thought a song that reminds me of all you true believers. Proclaimers
Remember, its O.K. to fall down at the door but you must rustle the GOP out of the Bush – or the other way around. I’m conflustered.
Pat Fish, do you know what cap and trade means? How it works. Why Castle would stick his Republican neck out to vote for it?
Are you aware that “cap and trade” was first signed into law in 1990. I was known as “emissions trading”. A free market solution to reduce the acid rain that was killing forests throughout the Northeast United States. Remember acid rain. We fixed it with cap and trade. Coal fired plants in the Midwest where spewing sulfur, that eventually came East in the form of killer acid rain. Cap and trade was devised by free marketeers as a way to harness human nature in a positive way. I worked great!! The reason the forests are not being killed, the reason you don’t hear about “acid rain” anymore is because of cap and trade. It worked. We can solve problems.
Now we’re considering a new deployment of cap and trade. This time the idea is not just fighting pollution, but also to incentivize alternative clean energy.
The mega players in oil and coal are the main forces lined up against cap and trade. Here’s some more history:

think123 – intelligence and reason are lost on this blog with people that have no intelligence and cannot or will not think for themselves
leave em to it – they would rather stick their heads and their wallets into a dung heap than breathe fresh air
I guess then that I had better get my acid proof umbrella back out because that Cap & Trade market you’re boasting about went bust two months ago.
Sulfur Dioxide emissions, once trading at $1,600 per ton, are now trading at $3 per ton and expected to go to zero shortly.
The problems began with the market at its peak in 2005 when the EPA expanded rules for the market to include a much broader range of pollutants. That drove the price of new permits up to historic highs. The courts ruled that the EPA could not do that. That created uncertainty in the markets. That in turn led the Obama Administration to issue new rules this summer that pretty much left investors holding worthless permits.
The Sulfur Dioxide program did work in a local fashion in that it lowered emissions by 52% in its twenty years in the United States. It did however cost jobs. Jobs that moved to China or other places where businesses could pollute with less regulation. Such pollutants are then borne by upper level winds and scattered around the planet.
A cap & trade program on carbon dioxide emissions cannot succeed. It would cover almost every human activity carried out within our borders. It would cause the price of energy to rise exponentially. That in turn will drive businesses and jobs off our shores and into the waiting arms of the Brazillians, Chinese and Indians. And the carbon dioxide will still come… And thats assuming it works in as devastating a manner as planned. What will happen when the EPA decides to mess with the rules, as it did with sulfur dioxide?
Look, flawed as she is, O’Donnell can win the primary, with an unprecidented turnout in Kent and Sussex. This is a fact. And, with the prevailing anti-Obama (read; anti-liberal) sentiment, it could happen. The key- turnout.
A free market solution to reduce the acid rain that was killing forests throughout the Northeast United States. Remember acid rain. We fixed it with cap and trade.
One problem is that carbon dioxide is not the equivalent of sulfur dioxide and pseudo-science is not the equivalent of science. Although perhaps you should have a cap placed on how much you breath, then you could buy a permission to breath from me or get a tax credit for breathing less.
I’ll even sell you an indulgence for other sins against Mother Nature if you want, as it would seem that you’re an easy mark for charlatanism.
Look, flawed as she is, O’Donnell can win the primary…
It might be better for Republicans in Delaware if she won and lost to at least reform the party some. It seems that the people in charge are generally similar to the ruling class that virtually destroyed the party nationally.
I’ve been meaning to switch my party affiliation to independent.
Switching your party affilliation is just what they want. It keeps conservatives out of the primaries and out of the conventions. At least keep your affiliation so you can vote for conservatives and better yet if you really want better leadership attend 3 party meetings in two years to vote for conservative leadership and delegates.
You make some good points about the pros and cons of cap and trade. Nice to actually discuss some facts now and then. I hope you agree that cap and trade with all it’s imperfections is seen as a more market based approach when compared to outright government set limits on pollution. It’s a tough area.
I go back a long way with this stuff. As a traditional conservative I was against government mandated catalytic converters. Not sure there was a problem. It would drive the cost of cars way up. Platinum in muffles is too expensive. Same with acid rain. Didn’t really believe coal burning in the West was really killing forests in the East. Emissions trading cap and trade was impossibly complicated.
My take on the current cap and trade for carbon dioxide is that it’s one part environmental, two parts energy policy. Sort of a win win if you are on that side. Reduce C02, make carbon fuel more expensive thereby making alternatives more viable. I am not much worried about climate change at all, I could be wrong again. But I am very worried about relying on imported carbon fuel for so much of what makes America tick.
Michael, if somebody wants to run a business that pollutes the neighborhood air water and can’t find a willing neighborhood here in the USA, then let them move to China.
The idea that we have to poison ourselves to maximize money making is way past in the USA.
We led the way in environmental clean up, we managed to turn pollution control into a thriving new industry. Whatever costs are born by the polluting industries, that money goes to the new anti-pollution industry. It is not a zero sum game.
It might be better for Republicans in Delaware if she won and lost to at least reform the party some. It seems that the people in charge are generally similar to the ruling class that virtually destroyed the party nationally.
This is true, and it’s why I didn’t vote for McCain.
Creation out of Destruction.
2010- Repudiation!
…if you really want better leadership attend 3 party meetings in two years to vote for conservative leadership and delegates.
Perhaps, yet apparently many of the people involved in the conservative movement are impossibly petty and shallow, some seem more interested in personal politics and $500 debts than philosophy. I half expect to read an expose about how someone ate the last cookie at a meeting, therefore no one should vote for them.
My take on the current cap and trade for carbon dioxide is that it’s one part environmental, two parts energy policy. Sort of a win win if you are on that side.
Actually it’s more likely that you will shut down the engine that runs the economy, i.e. the internal combustion engine. I.e. ““a mortal threat . . . more deadly than that of any military enemy.” according to Al Gore.
There is almost nothing more ridiculous. The internal combustion engine is arguably the greatest invention of mankind, saving more lives and generating more wealth than any other. It’s little wonder that our modern pagans have figured out a way of making the engine that runs our economy a crime against their Mommy Nature. There is little rationality or science in their minds. Nearly every position of the Left has more to do with their psychological dynamics than facts, logic and evidence. They are against wealth, which happens to be the way that fathers provide for their families. They are against guns, which happens to be the way that fathers protect their families. Those subject to psychological dynamics of this sort are for Mother Earth and against Father God so clinging to God and guns is almost criminal. And so on. Is this really about science? Don’t make the mistake of believing that the unfalsifiable pseudo-science typical to nature based paganism has anything to do with actual science based on empirical and experimental evidence.
Reduce C02, make carbon fuel more expensive thereby making alternatives more viable.
You’re relying on private inventors but the Left smothers them in favor of a scientific establishment which for all the money it gets (to keep people “safe” with more regulations and more studies and so on, safety first!) seldom actually invents anything. Indeed, from the Wright brothers to Thomas Edison it instead tends to attack the craaazy inventors and private entrepreneurs who actually do invent things.
After all, a heavier than air flying machine is impossible and the concept of a light bulb is just a “waste of time.” See generally: (Alternative Science: Challenging the Myths of the Scientific Establishment by Richard Milton) Fortunately the Founders established patent law based on the principles of intelligent design, not more government grants for research to supposedly keep people safe/smothered and so on.
Good post.
Remember, there’s a pinkish tint to the green movement.
