While Castle bombards O’Donnell on back taxes, his own record is hardly clean
New Castle- In another example of Republican Mike Castle’s shocking hypocrisy, today Politico revealed that Castle has had to pay tax penalties and interest three different times on his Washington apartment. This news comes in the midst of a flurry of negative advertising from the Castle campaign, targeting primary opponent Christine O’Donnell for her less-than-perfect financial background.
“It seems the Castle campaign should have done a little self-research before taking that line of attack,” said Katie Ellis, Acting Executive Director for the Delaware Democratic Party. “From Castle’s attacks on Christine O’Donnell, it would appear that he thinks having a checkered financial history should disqualify someone from winning elective office. From what I see, it’s a clear case of the pot calling the kettle black.”
This revelation comes on the heels of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s release of a new website, titled “Mike Castle’s Washington House of Waffles,” which features many of Castle’s flip-flops on the issues. The site can be seen at: http://www.deldems.org/waffles.
