Michael Castle An Out of Touch Politician?



You be the judge.

"I am honored to welcome Sen. John McCain, probably the nation's most popular politician, to Delaware this coming weekend," Castle said in a press release. "It will be fun to show off Sussex County to him."

John McCain, the nation's most popular politician?

UPDATE: As Castle's best new buddy comes to town, let's take a quick look at the so-called "moderate" and "popular" Senator McCain.

WHAT MCCAIN STANDS FOR: THEN AND NOW

Abortion

THEN:McCain Opposed Overturning Roe: It Would Force Women To Seek Illegal Abortions. [San Francisco Chronicle, 8/20/99]

NOW: McCain Wouldn't Be Bothered By Supreme Court Ban On Abortion, Would Sign South Dakota’s Abortion Ban. [CBS News, 1/25/06; ABC News, 3/29/06; ABC News, 2/26/06; NationalJournal.com, 2/28/06]

Evil

THEN: McCain Called Falwell "Evil Influence" on GOP. [Kansas City Star, 5/28/05]

NOW: McCain Met With Falwell To Lay Groundwork for 2008 Run And Agreed To Speak At Falwell’s Liberty University. [US News and World Report, 11/14/05; Lynchburg News & Advance, 3/28/06]

Click here for all the “moderate” positions he’s rescinded since pandering to the right-wing. Now I'm sure Celia will be too flushed with giddy and girlish hero worship to report on this, but when McCain visits with Castle the headline should read:

One Fake Moderate Stumps for Another

Comments:
So much for Romney eh? Your a double-talk express man now.
 
People don't know McCain. That is why he is popular.

Talk about flip/flop. He makes Mary Lou Retton look like Christopher Reeves.
 
At last some truth.

The R's are not "for" anything - they are simply motivtaed by hatred for Clinton.
 
Sorry. He is my correction based on your comment.

The R's are not "for" anything - they are simply motivated by fear of Clinton.
 
Moynihan said that 25 years ago! Since then we've TRIED all those Republican ideas and now the results are in - most of those ideas sucked.

So when Democrats now insist on returning to tried-and-true values, why do you complain they aren't dreaming up new harebrained schemes like Republicans do?
 
We've had people run on those values and ideals but betray them when they are elected.

Yup... Reagan, GWB... I guess the third time will be the charm, right?
