Politicians are like offensive lineman. If they're doing their job, you don't hear much about them.

Did anyone else notice that her "dabbling" occurred in high school? She's 41 years old and the best the left can do is pull up things from HS?

They aren't interested in Obama's adult cocaine use. They aren't interested in his ties to radical anti-American terrorists. They aren't interested in forcing him to produce a legitimate birth certificate to prove he's natural born and constitutionally qualified. They aren't interested in whether he agreed with Wright for 20 years while sitting in his church. They aren't interested that Pelosi's husband made money because of her office. They aren't interested in Frank's association with Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. They aren't interested in Obama's stimulus payola. They aren't interested in the lie Dems told about ear marks. They weren't interested in Hillary's Rose Law Firm activities. They weren't interested in Clinton's blatant acts of sexual harrassment and possible sexual assault IN THE WHITE HOUSE. They weren't interested in why the Park Service performed the investigation of a high level WH staffer's "suicide".

But they ARE interested in whether O'Donnell might have dabbled in witchcraft as a teenager?

What a joke!


I tend to think they're both a joke, that is possible, isn't it?

its political game, make no mistake if she was a democrat we'd be saying it as well. thing is i rather have a witch instead of having a present day democrat

I can agree with this. Hell, if witches can make magnets work, they can do anything.

Seriously though, this woman is insane. I am against all forms of stupidity, including that of Alvin Greene. I am just waiting for her to pull that whole Glenn Beck "I was just baiting you" crap.

Yes and no. The left has used considerable media resources to discredit O'Donnell in every imaginable way.

There is NO POLITICIAN anywhere that doesn't have some embarrassing quotes or things in their past. The question is whether the media majors on them or allows the opposition to major on them. With Obama, they ignored them and hammered anyone who tried to expose them.

The question then is why are they in attack mode with O'Donnell? IMO, it is because of her stated policies and their perception that she is really serious about pursuing them... ESPECIALLY the fiscal ones.

"It is not enough to be abstinent with other people, you also have to be be abstinent alone. The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery, so you can't masturbate without lust." - Christine O'Donnell (MTV Interview)

"We took the Bible and prayer out of public schools. Now we're having weekly shootings. We had the 60s sexual revolution, and now people are dying of AIDS."

"God may choose to heal someone from cancer, yet that person still has a great deal of medical bills. The outstanding bills do not determine whether or not the patient has been healed by God."

"A candidate said several years ago, 'I'm not concerned the reason you vote for me as long as you vote for me.'" (Press Conference)

"America is now a socialist economy. The definition of a socialist economy is when 50% or more your economy is dependent on the federal government." (Campaign Speech)

This woman is insane.

The most insane thing she has ever said, though?

"Creationism, in essence, is believing that the world began as the Bible in Genesis says, that God created the Earth in six days, six 24 hour periods. And there is just as much, if not more, evidence supporting that."

There's more...

On co-ed dorms:
"What's next? Orgy rooms? Menage trois rooms? Coedness is like a radical agenda forced on college students."

On women in the military:
"By integrating women into particularly military institutes, it cripples the readiness of our military. When you have women in that situation it just creates a whole new set of dynamics which are distracting to training these men to kill or be killed."

Let her run, she does nothing but hurt her party.

That stuff really is quite disturbing.

What about here POLICIES do you have a problem with or are not within the mainstream of American political dialogue. I am challenging you to demonstrate that you aren't just following the herd mentality.

you have to admit that the list of quotes that keeps growing daily paints her as absolutely batshat loony.

My problem with the OP is this. LG has to learn the difference between a b**** and an idiot.

Nancy Pelosi is a B. This loon is just a brick short of a full load.

she's definitely the weakest of the Tea Party backed candidates who won their primaries

however, when compared to Alvin Greene, she's an intellectual giant on par with Aristotle or Plato

.

More people believe this than believe in atheistic evolution according to Pew: Reading the Polls on Evolution and Creationism - Pew Research Center for the People & the Press

And fwiw, there is as much if not more evidence supporting direct creation than undirected evolution. In fact, it is the exact same evidence... the difference is the interpretations of the data and one's philosophical starting point. If you start with "no god" or "no god sufficient to explain creation" then you read the evidence necessarily one way. If you accept the idea of a supreme, omnipotent, omnipresent creator then you are not bound by the constraints of materialism... nor are you prohibited from considering those explanations.

Would you or would you not agree that such a painting could be done to any politician? I mean to a large degree all the press would have had to do is quote from Obama's book to find much worse.

I resent the fact that Biden has gotten a free pass. I'll openly admit that.

This whole masturbation thing is creepy/crazy.

you forget that LG is incapable of finding fault with the left. His main criticism of Obama is that he is not governing from even deeper left field.

most say idiotic stuff and are lost on at least a couple of material topics, but this is stuff this woman earnestly believes and is part of her campaign platform. She's an absolute nutjob. Most politicians have issues and can be painted in a very bad light. One need no light to get it done here.

if Biden happened to be drunk and stupid Republican, his career would have ended eons ago.

BTW, the left has no basis whatsoever for attacking O'Donnell as long as there is such an animal as Senator Al Franken. What an absolute embarrassment for the whole country!

Which things that you object to and are "nutty" are part of her platform?

actually, "part of her platform" is probably strong, but she is definitely running on her conservative Christian social approach. The lunacy regarding masturbation and shooting in classrooms now that we've removed the bible are just a couple. Teenage witch doesn't help anything either. You might have been a warlock as a kid and see that as viably normal, but I wasn't and don't.

So you are saying it is OK for someone to make a big deal out of being homosexual as a candidate, strongly advocate abortion as a means of birth control, advocate condom distribution in school since the little animals can't control themselves, etc, etc, etc, but advocating self control over sexual urges is not?

There was a time not all that long ago when biblical morality was generally taught or supported in public schools. The Bible was used and revered. We did not have the level of violence in schools then as we do now. Making an exclusive cause-effect claim there is probably not valid but the move from a Christian moral paradigm to a secular one in public schools does very much parallel the rise in a whole host of social ills in HS's to include shootings.

I saw a survey once of HS teachers in the 1950's compared to modern teachers. The biggest concerns back then were things like talking without permission, being late, failing to do homework, chewing gum, etc. Now it is weapons in school, gangs, drug trafficking, teen pregnancy, etc.

So basically she has been the subject of a smear campaign and you are buying it?

I cannot imagine that anyone is worried that she will be up there casting spells or frying up some newt (no pun intended).

But her bringing this up in her usual kind of "I have no filter and say idiotic things as though they were absolute and undeniable fact" kind of manner is off putting.

The wisdom of talking about it sort of makes you scratch your head. It would be like a Democractic candidate talking about how he used to play D&D and was a 12th level wizard. You just kind of go, "Now there's a sober person with a strong head on his shoulders."

And of course it is coming to light just as she has her defenders taking on the mainstream GOP pundits who are bemoaning the fact that their tried and true candidate got ousted by her.

ah yes the old two wrongs make a right argument.

There is a certain demographic that right now is really responding to people that, frankly, come off as rather naive. Some really trust Palin and O'Donnell because their patriotism is sincere.

I totally get that.

But I prefer competent management to people who think they can channel 18th century politiicans. And while you might disagree as to Obama et al's competence, if you ponder for one moment what it would be like if Palin and O'Donnell were in charge and the inevitable deer-in-headlights moment(s) we'd be in for, the lustre wears off.
