US Representative Michael Castle (R) of Delaware loss his differentiation as a voice of reason in the Republican Party by being enchanted by their ultra rightwing de facto leadership of bigoted talking heads of America’s Racist Trinity of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glen Beck through his lockstep vote against universal healthcare. Has Castle loss contact with the reality of the impact of poor senior citizens not taking their medications because they are unaffordable?

Commonsense suggests that when seniors are not taking their medication it is tantamount to forcing end of life decisions upon these people.  It is disingenuous for the Republican Party to attempt to take away the potential higher quality in life for senior citizens by killing healthcare knowing that it closes the doughnut hole in Medicare.  Perhaps the Republican Party sees Dr. Jack Kevorkian (Dr. Death) as their pied piper to eradicate poor senior citizens who they want euthanized by withholding their life sustaining medication.

The Republican Party’s aggressive posturing to continue attempting to kill universal healthcare indicates that they are espousing a reincarnation of eugenics.  Thereby, the Republican Party is letting the unforgiving hand of nature purge American society of disabled and old people under the guise of death by natural causes. Does the Republican Party see disabled people and poor senior citizens as political fodder to be written off in their efforts to preserve their fat cat constituencies?  

As a senior citizen, I am struggling for the first time in supporting Castle in an election effort. I will pay very strong attention to his Democratic rival in the fall 2010 Midterm election. I find myself tumbling over in my mind, “Is it time for Michael Castle to retire?”

When I think about a strategic mistake that the Delaware Republican Party has made with national ramifications they have not fostered the development of new generational candidates to succeed their stalwarts for good tough primaries have been avoided. Senator J. Caleb Boggs (R) was defeated by Vice President of the United States Joseph Biden (D).  Senator William Roth (R) was defeated by US Senator Thomas Carper (D). Who will dash Castle’s US Senatorial dream?

Will a good old fashion Republican primary prevent the party from abdicating Delaware leadership to the Democratic Party?
