WARNING: I’m going to be cruel.
Christine O’Donnell’s victory in the Delaware Republican primary may not be cause for celebration. A Christine O’Donnell in Washington may just mean one more vote for endless war in the Middle East.
This statement was sourced from her 2008 campaign website by ‘On the Issues’:
Strategy to bring troops home from Iraq: it’s called victory
“Christine has a strategy for bringing our troops home from Iraq: It’s called victory. Past mistakes should not deter our need to stabilize Iraq so we can get our troops home. We can succeed in the future, but we must accompany our efforts with the honor and respect we’ve earned as a people. We cannot leave on the enemy’s terms. We must leave on our terms.”
Our Terms? Take a look at what imposing “our terms” on the people of Iraq has done to that nation thus far. The United States invaded Iraq under the pretext of neutralizing Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction. In the process, the American military turned an emerging first world nation into a ish, third world cesspit. In the end, no weapons of mass destruction were found. There was and will be no victory, and suggesting that America has earned respect and honor within the context of the Iraq War is an affront to the 1,366,350 slaughtered Iraqis and the 4,736 dead members of our American armed services. Is this her idea of victory, or will that only be accomplished after we have shed even more innocent blood?
Remove the words “Tea Party” from the Christine O’Donnell equation and you may very well end up with your garden variety NeoCon patsy. She has been on the political scene long before the Tea Party was even heard of. In the last four years, she has made a run for the Senate seat on two previous occasions.
During the 2006 race, Ms. O’Donnell agreed with two other Republican candidates that Iran was intent on developing nuclear weapons and that their government had actually benefited from the war with Iraq due to its close ties with Iraqi Shiite leaders. She was, however, the only Republican candidate to go one step further and assert that the U.S. should consider military action against Iran. She stated “You can’t negotiate with the Devil” and also asserted that China has a “carefully thought out and strategic plan to take over America.” No, that wasn’t Sarah Palin saying those things…but it may just as well have been. Keep in mind that ‘establishment’ in bent Mike Castle was among those three “Republican candidates,” and even he was not ready to put his full support behind an attack on Iran. That’s not to say that it isn’t nice to see Castle go—good riddance. But, here is a question that I’ve posed once before: What are we getting in return?
If this woman still embodies the kind of pro-war ideology that she spouts in her previous rhetoric—she will no doubt become a useful idiot to opportunistic war makers on Capitol Hill—who will exploit her religious beliefs to advance their imperialist agenda. Upon her arrival in Washington, the Israeli lobby and the defense industry will routinely court her. Give the charming, fatherly Henry Kissinger ½ hour alone with this naïve young woman, and she will be eating out of the palm of his hand and going out of her way to send your sons and daughters off to die in holy, Christian missions of conquest against the evil Muslim hordes.
Has Ms. O’Donnell changed her stance on U.S. involvement in foreign wars? If she has, I can’t find any mention of it. When I go to her campaign website, I am delivered to a page that asks for a donation, but no information that will help me find out where she stands on the issues.
If I put her name into a search engine, I cannot find any reference to her position on war and foreign policy other than what I have already shared.
However, I did find plenty of information concerning her passionate crusade against masturbation, gay marriage, pre-marital sex and abortion.
I’ve also learned that she has strongly supported censorship and applying Biblical principals into all levels of public policy. But even these issues don’t help us find out what she really stands for. As recently as last night, O’Donnell seemed to be backpedaling on some of the more controversial positions she previously held in an attempt to clean up her image, or at least come off as less of afanatical religious zealot.
According to this morning’s Washington Post:
“In her first post-primary debate against Democratic nominee Chris Coons, O’Donnell said she has matured since making controversial statements in favor of “sexual purity” and against masturbation in a 1996 MTV do entary. “I was very excited and passionate about my newfound faith,” she said about that period in her life.”
“O’Donnell said during the debate that she opposes embryonic stem cell research and abortion except if the life of the mother is threatened. But she said she would adhere to the Cons ution rather than her personal beliefs if elected, and emphasized her views about taxes and the size and role of government over her opinions on social issues.”
I find this all a little too wishy-washy for my taste. Is O’Donnell the kind of “go along to get along” politician who is taking up the Tea Party banner just so she gets into a position of power? Fighting taxes and reducing the size of government are familiar themes that every Republican campaigns on.
I fear that Christine O’Donnell is just the latest in a series of disappointing Tea Party candidates who appear to be merely riding on the grassroots popularity of the movement. How can you take any candidate seriously about ‘fixing the economy’ and ‘reducing the size of government’ when they support the very wars that have created the problem? Ms. O’Donnell, like many other Tea Party candidates, seem to lack a basic understanding of how our economy works.
One of the strongest rallying cries among the Tea Party movement is to take on the Federal Reserve. They vow to audit it or abolish it altogether. But if you support the war effort, you have to support the Federal Reserve. If you interfere with their counterfeiting scheme, funding for these military adventures will cease overnight. In his article “The Hidden Costs of War,” Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) demonstrated that he has a complete understanding of how this works:
“Without the Fed’s ability to create money out of thin air, our government would be severely handicapped in waging wars that do not serve our interests. The money issue and the ability of our government to wage war are intricately related. Anyone interested in curtailing wartime spending and our militarism abroad is obligated to study the monetary system, through which our government seductively and surrep iously finances foreign adventurism without the responsibility of informing the public of its cost or collecting the revenues required to finance the effort.”
Those who are serious about ending the Fed must be just as serious about ending these wars. Campaigning to reverse health care and opposing tax increases are just part of the package, but you can’t cherry pick which pet projects you’ll allow the Fed to uncons utionally finance.
Sure, it’s refreshing to see the symbolic message being sent to the ‘establishment’ in bents. But while we can rejoice in watching longtime Republicans and Democrats losing their seats, can we really celebrate putting someone like Christine O’Donnell in their place? I personally cannot give my endorsement to someone who I know will vote in favor of war. Doing so would be equivalent to loading a magazine into a soldier’s rifle. I refuse to play the ‘lesser of two evils’ card when lives are at stake.
What’s really going on here? One must ask themselves why a virtual unknown is being given so much press. There is no such thing as bad publicity. Like Sarah Palin, O’Donnell is being hyped as a rogue element in the GOP, someone who will restore old-fashioned Christian values and rescue us from the fat cat Republicans that many working class folks have trouble identifying with. In many ways, the Tea Party has become a remarkably effective recruitment tool for the GOP to attract fence sitters and disgruntled royalists who have lost faith in the establishment Republican Party.
This week, the Internet was buzzing over the pseudo-feud between O’Donnell and former Bush point man, Karl Rove. During an interview with FOX News’ Sean Hannity, Rove said some very unflattering things about O’Donnell.
“I’ve met her. I wasn’t frankly impressed by her abilities as a candidate,” said Rove. “One thing that O’Donnell is now going to have to answer in the general election that she didn’t in the primary is her own checkered background. There were a lot of nutty things she has been saying that don’t add up,” he added.
“Why did she mislead voters about her college education? Rove asked. “How come it took nearly two decades to pay her college bills so she could get her college degree? How did she make a living?”
Many have concluded that this confirms that O’Donnell is the ‘real deal.’ After all, if Karl Rove doesn’t like her, then she must be good, right? Rove may be evil—but he isn’t stupid. He knows that he doesn’t enjoy a good public image. Going out of his way to attack O’Donnell is the biggest endorsement he could give. It gives her street cred. Besides, look at the negative things Rove chose to harp on her about—her unpaid college bills? This only makes her seem more ‘down to Earth’ to the average working class stiff.
Now we find Sarah Palin coming out to endorse her and chastising Karl Rove for all those nasty things he said. Don’t you see the game here? The co-opted segment of the Tea Party has become an internal paradigm within the GOP. Those who consider themselves Republicans, but have soured on the Party following the disasterous public relations nightmare that was Bush/Cheney, now have an alternative to invest their hopes and dreams in. But at the end of the day—it’s still the GOP.
Oh—and by the way—just this morning, Rove has reversed himself and is throwing his full support behind O’Donnell’s campaign. That places him among O’Donnell’s other cheerleaders that include Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Mic e Malkin, Bill O’Reilly, Michele Bachman, etc., etc., etc.
Does Ron Paul get that kind of support from the NeoCons?
I rest my case.
Its not that easy to coopt those in support of taking back our govt, it seems.
A white poltician name "Coons" is a goddamn racist. I like O'Donnells chances.
Hey Parker, if you come across an article explaining why Coons would be a wonderful choice can you post it?
Hey SnakeBoy, if you come across an article explaining why O'Donnell would be a wonderful choice can you post it?
I bet in real life she is a kinky little . She looks like the type that would just love it if you walked into the kitchen, ripped her clothes off, and broke her over the kitchen table like an over/under shotgun and just pounded the out of her.
I didn't necessarily liked the first look...
The main point:
Oh, and this...
“Without the Fed’s ability to create money out of thin air, our government would be severely handicapped in waging wars that do not serve our interests. The money issue and the ability of our government to wage war are intricately related. Anyone interested in curtailing wartime spending and our militarism abroad is obligated to study the monetary system, through which our government seductively and surrep iously finances foreign adventurism without the responsibility of informing the public of its cost or collecting the revenues required to finance the effort.”
I would eat the corn out of that tea baggers ass.
Corn out of her ass? Certainly she's got for brains.

The Old Adventures Of New Christine
ThinkProgress has put together a do ent compiling what we know about Delaware GOP Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell in her own words. Here are the issues:
ON SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS
O’Donnell led a campaign against masturbation, claiming it is a form of adultery. In a 90s era discussion on MTV, O’Donnell said, “The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. So you can’t masturbate without lust.” [Huffington Post, 9/2/10]
O’Donnell warned coed dorm rooms will lead to ‘orgy rooms.’ Quoted in a Washington Times article which noted, “Dorm life has evolved into a blending of the sexes, from coed buildings to coed floors, coed bathrooms and now even coed rooms,” O’Donnell commented, “What’s next? Orgy rooms? Menage a trois rooms?” [Washington Times, 9/18/03]
O’Donnell wants to stop the ‘whole country from having sex.’ Asked by MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, “You’re going to stop the whole country from having sex?” O’Donnell replied, “Yes.” [Scarborough Country, 11/13/03]
O’Donnell warned there’s ‘a connection’ between ‘freak dancing’ and ‘date rape.’ “What freak dancing is isn’t just like the safety of mosh pitting. This is sexually explicit activity for minors. We do limit the expression of minors. There are drinking laws. There are — you have to be 18 to smoke. You can’t go to school in a bikini. On one hand you have people saying this is squelching their freedom. And then you scratch your head and say, ‘Look over here. Date rape is such an epidemic.’ There’s a connection. And if people realize there’s a connection, then they’ll realize that these limitations and restrictions exist for a very valid reason.” [O'Reilly Factor, 9/22/06]
O’Donnell believes that spouses who have been cheated on possess compromised ‘purity.’ O’Donnell wrote in an article published in Cultural Dissident, “When a married person uses pornography, or is unfaithful, it compromises not just his (or her) purity, but also compromises the spouse’s purity.” [TPM, 9/7/10]
O’Donnell believes that handing out condoms at schools is like legalizing drunk driving. Arguing that abstinence is the only acceptable option, O’Donnell if said of condoms at school, “go ahead and have a condom. That’s like saying, don’t drive drunk but if you do, make sure you wear your seat belt. It’s going to kill.” [Hannity & Colmes, 6/6/00]
O’Donnell argued that distributing condoms is ‘just going to further the spread of AIDS.’ “About President Bush’s stand against condoms, condoms will not protect you from AIDS. So to just throw a bunch of condoms over to Africa and say, here, we’re helping you with AIDS, is just going to further the spread of AIDS over there.” [Donahue, 8/27/02]
O’Donnell thinks condoms ‘will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases.’ “Even not from a moral perspective, if you take it just purely from a health perspective, condoms will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases. There’s a 20 percent failure rate that it will protect from pregnancy.” [Hannity & Colmes, 12/17/99]
O’Donnell’s explanation of the need for chas y until marriage: ‘we’re not a slave to our sexuality.’ “We’re not a slave to our sexuality. Our sexuality is a gift for us to be used in the context of marriage, and we need to support young people in that, and teach them the facts that 12,000 teenagers a day contract sexually transmitted diseases. And the only way to protect yourself from this is to save sex for marriage, and then to remain in a monogamous, committed marriage.” [CNN, 7/10/97]
O’Donnell claimed abstinence-only education has been an ‘incredible success.’ “Overwhelmingly, programs that teach abstinence only have an incredible success rate because you’re not giving them a confused message.” [Hannity & Colmes, 6/6/00]
O’Donnell wants her children to ’see Christ’ in her future husband. Explaining what she is looking for an ideal husband, O’Donnell said, “I want my children to see Christ in him.” [Wilmington News-Journal, 11/12/06]
ON WOMEN
O’Donnell believes the proper role of a woman is to ’submit’ to her husband. ”This is not about merely a Baptist doctrine. This is a biblical doctrine. And the passage from the Bible the Baptist article is taken from talks about a submissive family. And yet, what the media seems to be reacting to is the word “submit” in the wives. But yet, even in, Mary, your introduction, you ignored or you left out where it says they graciously submit to a servant leader. And that is God’s design for the family. It is not about dominating and it is not about being a slave to your husband.” [CNN, 6/11/98]
O’Donnell believes women do not enjoy sex, using it only as a means to love. “Women play sex to get love. Men play love to get sex.” [Fox News, 8/2/03]
O’Donnell warned that allowing women to attend military academies ‘cripples the readiness of our defense.’ “By integrating women into particularly military ins utes, it cripples the readiness of our defense,” O’Donnell has said. She also argued that West Point “has had to lower their standards … in order for men and women to compete” [Politico, 9/16/10]
O’Donnell believes Sarah Palin is the ‘epitome of a modern woman.’ “She is the epitome of a modern woman. She’s strong, independent and utterly feminine. She makes me so proud to be an American female candidate.” [Gannett News Service, 9/5/08]
O’Donnell believes Roe v. Wade needs to be overturned. “We need to turn the power back to the state. And Roe v. Wade, if it’s overturned, will not make abortion illegal. It will simply return the power back to the state.” [Donahue, 8/27/02]
ON SEXUALITY
O’Donnell doesn’t understand why gays get ‘upset’ when called ‘deviant.’ Asked if she could “understand why gays might be upset?” by someone calling sexuality a “deviant sexual orientation,” O’Donnell replied, “Absolutely not. I cannot understand.” [Hannity & Colmes, 6/26/00]
O’Donnell believes gays are ‘attacking the very center of what is America.’ “This same group that is — is fighting against Paramount are the ones who claim to be devoted guardians of the First Amendment. Yet they are fighting for government-sponsored censorship of anybody who disagrees with them. They’re — they’re attacking the very center of what is America, freedom to have different views.” [Hannity & Colmes, 6/26/00]
O’Donnell believes gays ‘can get away with so much more,’ such as ‘nudity.’ “But let me tell you something! They — sexuals’ special rights groups can get away with so much more than nobody else can!” she said. Asked for examples, she replied, “They’re getting away with nudity! They’re getting away with lasciviousness! They’re getting away with perversion! They’re getting away with blasphemy!” [Hannity & Colmes, 6/26/00]
O’Donnell excused gay bashing as ‘kids being kids.’ Asked about disparaging comments children had made about a gay peer, O’Donnell dismissed it, saying, “It’s kids being kids, that’s it.” [Hannity & Colmes, 7/19/00]
O’Donnell believes AIDS victims should not be called ‘victims,’ and that too much money goes to fighting the disease. Appearing on C-SPAN in 1997, O’Donnell said calling them “AIDS victims” is “the kind of spinning with words and manipulating words that empowers the bias when it comes to AIDS.” O’Donnell also complained that “there is a gross disproportionate allocation of funds” going to AIDS treatment and prevention in comparison to resources designated to combat heart disease. O’Donnell suggested people change the “lifestyle” (i.e. sexuality) that she said leads to AIDS.” [TPM, 9/15/10]
ON SCIENCE
O’Donnell warned about mice with ‘fully functioning human brains.’ “Now we’re using this to start cloning humans. … They are — they are doing that here in the United States. American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains.’ [O'Reilly Factor, 10/16/07]
O’Donnell believes there is ‘just as much, if not more, evidence’ supporting creationism than evolution. “Now too many people are blindly accepting evolution as fact. But when you get down to the hard evidence, it’s merely a theory. … Well, 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.” [New York Magazine, 9/15/10]
O’donnell compared psychics to a ‘pimp.’ “Psychics exploit the human beings natural desire that longs for something higher,” O’Donnell told Bill Maher’s in October 2001. “The same way a pimp exploits the natural desire to be with the opposite sex…psychics put people in spiritual harm, the same way pimps put people in physical harm. [YouTube, 10/14/07]
ON TRUTH
O’Donnell is so fervently pro-truth that she wouldn’t lie to Nazis looking for Jews in her home. Appearing on Political Incorrect with Bill Maher, O’Donnell explained the
importance of truth-telling, refusing to even entertain the notion of lying when a gust asked if she would tell the truth Nazis looking for Jews hiding in her home. “I believe if I were in that situation, God would provide a way to do the right thing righteously. I believe that! … You never have to practice deception” [ThinkProgress, 9/15/10]
O’Donnell doesn’t believe in shades of gray. “There’s only truth and not truth. You’re either very good or evil. I went back to my dorm and asked myself what I was. If your principles aren’t grounded in absolute truth, you don’t know what to think.” [Wilmington News-Journal, 11/12/06]
In a lawsuit, O’Donnell falsely implied she was getting a masters at Princeton. In her suit, O’Donnell had considered not taking a job because “she had applied for admission to a Masters Degree program at Princeton University, to start in the fall of 2003, and was concerned that the ISI position would not fit with her plans.” However, as the Weekly Standard reported, “in fact, O’Donnell had not yet received her bachelor’s degree at that time and had not been accepted to a master’s program at Princeton.” [Weekly Standard, 9/12/10]
ON GOD AND RELIGION
O’Donnell says she “dabbled into witchcraft.” On Politically Incorrect in 1999, O’Donnell said, “I dabbled into witchcraft — I never joined a coven. … I hung around people who were doing these things. I’m not making this stuff up. One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic alter, and I didn’t know it. I mean, there’s little blood there and stuff like that. … We went to a movie and then had a midnight picnic on a satanic alter.” [Politically Incorrect, 10/29/99]
O’Donnell believes God speaks to her personally and guided her campaign. “During the primary, I heard the audible voice of God. He said, ‘Credibility.’ It wasn’t a thought in my head. I thought it meant I was going to win. But after the primary, I got credibility.” [Wilmington News-Journal, 11/12/06]
O’Donnell blamed school shootings on the lack of prayer in schools. “We took the bible and prayer out of public schools, and now we’re having weekly shootings practically.” [New Statesman, 9/15/10]
ON PROGRESSIVES
O’Donnell believes that Obama’s liberalism makes him ‘anti-American.’ Asked about the Democratic field during the 2008 presidential campaign, O’Donnell said of Obama, “He’s soooo liberal. He’s anti-American. He’s beating the ‘change’ drum. But let’s look at the change. He did not vote for English as the official language. What does that say?” [Fox News, 1/7/08]
O’Donnell warned that the ACLU is trying to ‘ins ute a communist country.’ “In the guise of so-called freedom of separation of church and state, they’re trying to ins ute a communist country and that sounds radical but that’s the truth. I mean why aren’t they trying to take out, you know, thou shall not kill? That’s a religious concept. That’s a commandment. Why are they not taking that our of our legal system.” [Savage Nation, 5/24/03]
O’Donnell believes House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a false Christian. “Nancy Pelosi has — can benefit from making Christians look bad because she touts her Christianity when it’s politically expedient for her, yet, she doesn’t follow any of the Christian moral principles.” [O'Reilly Factor, 1/25/07]
O’Donnell warned that former President Clinton hosting a TV show would be a ‘threat to our national security.’ Responding to a rumor that Clinton might host a daytime TV talk show, O’Donnell said it would be “so undignified” but “also a threat to our national security” because the network could reveal “classified information” to which he had access. So do you really think the networks are going to sacrifice ratings for the sake of not revealing information that he has?” [Huffington Post,
9/15/10]
ON HER CAMPAIGN
O’Donnell compared herself to Ronald Reagan. Responding to critics who think O’Donnell is unelectable, she noted, “They also said that Ronald Reagan wasn’t electable.” [Good Morning America, 9/15/10]
O’Donnell feared her political opponents are ‘following’ her and ‘hiding in the bushes.’ “They’re following me. … They knock on the door at all hours of the night. They’re hiding in the bushes when I’m at candidate forums. In 2008 they broke into my home. They vandalized my home. They wrote nasty notes on my front door, on my front porch. They jeopardized my safety. They did the same thing to our campaign office. They broke into our campaign office. They vandalized our campaign office. They stole files. … I would be a fool to be pressured into disclosing where I live.” [Weekly Standard, 9/2/10]
ON CONSPIRACY THEORIES
O’Donnell warned then Sen. Joe Biden had pushed a U.N. ‘global tax.’ “[Biden]’s refusing to allow the people of Delaware to hold him accountable for things such as the global tax that he pushed through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee without a public hearing, something as serious as the United Nations taxing America’s GNP should certainly have a public hearing.” [Larry King Live, 8/27/08]
O’Donnell wanted to investigate President Clinton for murder. The
1996 suicide of Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster promoted right-wing conspiracy theories that Clinton was somehow culpable. O’Donnell bought the theories, saying on C-SPAN, “we’re not giving the case of Vincent Foster a fair trial — when there is a lot more empirical evidence that Clinton is involved in wrongdoing.” [TPM, 9/16/10]
O’Donnell called the Supreme Court a ‘cons utional monarchy.’ “It’s kind of like we have the nine people sitting there in Washington who have a cons utional monarchy and that is an abuse of the system but that’s the way that they push their agenda. And, if you’ll also notice, with all of these cases it’s a few people, a few people who oppose the masses.” [Savage Nation, 5/24/03]
ON THE ECONOMY
O’Donnell believes Bush did a great job saving the economy after 9/11. “Look at what Bush has done. The economy took an incredible hit after September 11. That was a huge shock to the economy. And we’ve recovered a lot quicker than we thought, thanks to Bush and his economic policy.” [Donahue, 11/22/02]
ON MODERN CULTURE
O’Donnell found the Middle East’s censorship ‘refreshing.’ “I’ll tell you, I just came back from the Middle East, and it was refreshing. With all that is going on, it was refreshing not to be constantly bombarded with smut all the time.” [MSNBC, 3/23/04]
O’Donnell believes Britney Spears is ‘dangerous.’ “Not only is she [Britney Spears] sending a dangerous message about sexuality to girls, but I think she’s setting the feminist movement back a bit, too, because she’s saying that sexuality is the core of our iden y.” [Fox News, 11/15/03]
O’Donnell believes ‘Sex and the city’ is ‘very dangerous.’ “I think that this show is very dangerous, especially to the women’s movement. It’s no wonder people call it ‘ s in the City’ because it teaches young women to be s, basically, to be used by men, to bed hop. And it ignores the fact that you know when you are treating sex like this that there’s shame, there’s loneliness that follows. And I think that the characters on this show are very revealing in that they long for a true relationship. They long for something meaningful in their lives.” [CNN, 6/1/01]
‘Sex and the City’ ‘angers’ O’Donnell because it’s ‘offensive’ to women and is ‘pornography.’ “As a young woman, seeing these women behave like that and acting like that’s normal or that’s even fashionable angers me. These shows are really soft core pornography. … It’s offensive to anyone who really understands what it’s like to be a woman.” [MSNBC's Hardball, 6/20/03]
O’Donnell insists the TV show ‘Friends’ is doing a ‘disservice to society.’ “It makes the treadmill go faster, but it is doing a disservice to society at large. It makes casual sex look fun. It makes the consequences of casual sex look glamorous. And they’re ignoring sexually transmitted diseases. They’re ignoring the broken hearts from pregnancy” [O'Reilly Factor, 5/10/02]
O’Donnell thinks ‘The Sopranos’ are a model family. “The thing that attracts people to “The Sopranos” is the family element. It shows that America still has a longing for that traditional upbringing.” [Hardball, 6/20/03]
O’Donnell feared that bloggers are ‘dangerous.’ “What makes bloggers good makes them dangerous. They don’t have to answer to anybody. They can give a local story attention, but they also can publish rumors with no accountability.” [Wilmington News-Journal, 1/7/07]
O’Donnell fretted that Generation X revived ‘Satanism.’ “Satanism has re-emerged among Generation X with an arrogance that mocks its members as
it blatantly destroys them.” [Washington Post, 6/15/97]
ON FOREIGN POLICY
O’Donnell advocated military action against Iran. The AP reported, “Ms. O’Donnell was the only candidate, however, to assert that the U.S. should consider military action against Iran. ‘You can’t negotiate with the devil,’ said. [AP, 9/6/06]
O’Donnell warned China wants to ‘take over America.’ China has a “carefully thought out and strategic plan to take over America. [AP, 9/6/06]
O’Donnell explained why there were never WMD found in Iraq by comparing the war to raiding a ‘crack house.’ “One of the biggest lies that’s going on is that we had no reason to go in. … If we were going to invade a crack house, and we said, ‘We’re going to invade this crack house. We’re going to raid this crack house.’ For six months, we gave them warning. And then you walk in and you go, ‘Hey, there’s no crack. There’s only these little pipes. Now, there’s no crack with the little pipes, so we can’t assume that these pipes are used for crack.’” [Hardball, 6/20/03]

=============
Crooky, Jack, Yoni think the above is a HIT JOB, just compiling HER OWN WORDS.
Delaware would become an Honorary Confederate Bubba State electing this dumb, ignorant, ditzy as US Senator.
You're Raising The Bar, Delaware.
Just a matter of time before she picks up the endorsement of "Weight Watchers". I don't see her getting an endorsement from Princeton though.
With that melon head and pie face, I was expecting her to be pretty fat, but I can't find any full length pics. The hyper-conservative, snobby, ever-present strings of pearls and colorful suit jackets seems to be her campaigning uniform. Her arms look pretty chunky, probably muscles from years of lifting those heavy Bibles.
echoes of head: rabidly anti-gay SALT-founder O'Dumbell's sister is openly lesbo.
O'Dumbell's 41, never been married. Maybe she doesn't want to follow her own belief and be a submissive wife. Or maybe she's a closet lesbo. Anybody got pics of her playing softball or at a WNBA game?
O'Donnell's sister is germane how? And I assume you mean Cheney....
O'Dumbell's 41, never been married. Maybe she doesn't want to follow her own belief and be a submissive wife. Or maybe she's a closet lesbo. Anybody got pics of her playing softball or at a WNBA game?If you can't be a racist and a phobe, maybe it ain't even worth being white.
<burp>
lol boutons, just when I start to think you're sane...
It's germane because of ODonnell's public anti-gay statements and her sister being openly gay..O'Donnell's sister is germane how? And I assume you mean Cheney....
This Bible-thumping, Cons ution-thumping idiot thinks the Repugs and conservatives are God's Chosen People:
"And the Cons ution is making a comeback. It's simply unprecedented in my lifetime. I think it's a little like the chosen people of Israel and the Hebrew scriptures, who cycle through periods of blessing and suffering and then return to the divine principles in their darker days."
I wonder if she ever read any book other than the Bible. Maybe she just read Cliff's Notes for the Bible, is parroting the Main Bible Talking Points from the Bible-thumping gang.
