However, I heard on the radio that O'Donnell was only 10 points behind Chris Coons, the Democrat... :?

Meh... I also heard that John McCain was a shoe-in to win the election a couple years back. How'd that one turn out?

Yeah, she also used to run an ex-gay campaign with a guy who told her that his Ex-gay therapy didn't work... she didn't care, it was too important to her TV appearances. This woman is insane. So are the Tea Tards who elected her.

I'm just aghast that someone like this can make it this far but we all know that if Balloon Boy ran for office, about 1/4 of the people would vote for HIM too.

unsung

I wouldn't be so quick to write her off. Most off you either refuse to accept or simply are in denial the power of the TEA Party. We all know you never gave any of them a chance, however even if they don't win the general election many have knocked off lifetime entrenched politicians.

As I said I wouldn't count her out just yet, her opponent has called himself the "bearded Marxist" and has raised taxes three times. That probably won't bode well for him.

Just be sure not to mention wanking and Jesus in the same sentence. Apparently it's unacceptable.

typical Tea Party strategy... run away from the media. What a coward. But I guess if her target audience is the drooling zombie Fox News crowd it's not a bad strategy. Speak with sympathetic people who'll toss you softball questions.



Oh, and did I also mention she's a witch!!!!!

Bill Maher digs up O'Donnell 'witchcraft' clip

By NAFEESA SYEED
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Tea party favorite Christine O'Donnell, whose Republican primary upset in Delaware's Senate race shocked the GOP, canceled appearances Sunday on two national news shows.

Meanwhile, comedian Bill Maher dug up a clip of O'Donnell appearing on his "Politically Incorrect" show in 1999 in which she says she "dabbled in witchcraft."

The context of what led to her comments is not clear, and O'Donnell is laughing while she talks.

"I dabbled into witchcraft. I never joined a coven," she said. " ... I hung around people who were doing these things. I'm not making this stuff up. I know what they told me they do," she said.

"... One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn't know it. I mean, there's little blood there and stuff like that," she said. "We went to a movie and then had a little midnight picnic on a satanic altar."

Since O'Donnell's upset of nine-term Rep. Mike Castle, opponents have unearthed unflattering age-old television clips. Her campaign didn't immediately return a telephone message Saturday, but she has in the past dismissed her previous comments.

Maher said on "Real Time with Bill Maher" that he has more clips of O'Donnell and will continue to air them until she appears on his show.

On Sunday, O'Donnell had been set to appear on "Face the Nation" on CBS and "Fox News Sunday."

Campaign spokeswoman Diana Banister cited scheduling conflicts and said O'Donnell needed to return to Delaware for commitments to church events and an afternoon picnic with Republicans in a key county where she has solid backing.

"The priorities are back in Delaware," Banister said. "Those are people who supported her, who were very helpful to her in the campaign, and she feels obligated to be there and thank them."

Banister said she was unaware of the previous commitments when she booked O'Donnell for the shows. She said she canceled with Fox News late Friday and with CBS early Saturday.

"We felt really bad," she said, adding the campaign apologized profusely for canceling at the last minute. Banister said O'Donnell would be pleased to appear on any Sunday news shows in the future.

On Friday, O'Donnell made her first national appearance since her primary upset in Washington at an annual Values Voters Summit. Appearances on the news shows would have furthered her national exposure.

Fox News had booked O'Donnell on Thursday. Marty Ryan, executive producer of "Fox News Sunday," said in a statement that the campaign canceled late Friday, saying she was exhausted and returning to Delaware.

"On Saturday morning, O'Donnell called us and said: 'I got triple-booked. I had been invited to go to church and then a picnic. I have to keep my priorities to Delaware voters,'" Ryan said. "The invitation to have her appear on the show remains open."

Banister said the decision was solely a scheduling issue and not because O'Donnell wasn't prepared to go on the programs.

However, the cancellations reflect a campaign of about six staffers trying to keep up after being thrust into the national spotlight. Banister said many requests are pouring in and the campaign needs a scheduler and additional aides.

Separately, "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer said that program received an e-mail Saturday morning canceling O'Donnell's appearance without explanation. But the campaign later called to say that O'Donnell had some campaign events.

"I can't remember when anybody has canceled on us on a Saturday, but there's always a first," he said. "If she can work it in sometime, we'll be happy to have her."

All of you had no problem when biden was a senator from Deleware so maybe I should remind some of you just how smart our vice president is and his character.But at least O'Donnell didn't kill anybody at Chappaquiddick (Ted Kennedy), join the Ku Klux Klan (Bob Byrd), "allegedly" commit rape (Bill Clinton), or, like Harry Reid's pet, Chris Coons, dabbled in Marxism and Oh yeah and what about your Messiah Obama and his drug years..

I just listened to a tape of a statement made by Joe Biden during his campaign for president in 1988. Someone in the audience asked him "Where did you go to school and how did you do?"

Joe said. "I will gladly compare my IQ with yours. I went to school and graduated with 3 degrees and was the leading student in the Political Science department. I went to law school on a full scholarship. In my first year I did not want to be there and I was in the bottom 2/3 of my class. I changed my mind and finished in the top half of my class. I will gladly compare my IQ to yours." I cannot be sure that these are the EXACT words but they are very close.

The facts are:

1) He did NOT get 3 degrees, he did not get 2 degrees it was 1 in Political Science. He never answered WHERE he went.

2) He received a HALF scholarship to law school based on need. When confronted with this he said he never remembered paying anything for law school.One can only speculate why that is.

3) His math abilities are not very good. The top 2/3 overlaps with the top 1/2. In addition he lied. He was 76th in a class of 85. That places him in the bottom 10.5% of his law school class.

4) He never stated where he attended school in the answer to this question

The attitude displayed demonstrates how he feels he is superior to others. Somehow he thinks that placing in the bottom 10% (11%, if you must) proves that he has the superior intellect.

He was later proven to have plagiarized on papers in law school and he used a speech originally given by a British politician without giving any attribution or acknowledgment.

Is this the quality of person we want leading our country?



and then there's this See we can play this smear game too.

:roll: :yawn:

really?? Some of you are really pathetic. Gee did it ever occur to you that she's only one person and that she can't be everywhere at once ? I would love to see how you or anyone else on here would hold up in the national spotlight and we could all see just how perfect your past is. I know your not running for office. My point is no one is perfect and you can't please everyone..

Firstly, it's silly to generalize and characterize the "entire left" by a few people... and secondly, what exactly does "dabble in marxism" mean? How does a person go about experimentation in communism? You love to throw around these type of terms but it really is nothing more than catch phrases with no real meaning. So please explain further for clarification and specifics so we can understand what you're claiming or saying.

You should never underestimate the results when a group of well educated and responsible people finally get fed up to the point that they turn to political activism. A lot of people are in denial of the Tea Party's impact.

I know... it's more and more apparent everyday just how stubborn 95% of the people on this forum are sometimes. What they are forgetting and ignoring is history. Deleware has been a red state several times in the past.Both the RINOS and their Democratic counterparts have been showing sneering contempt for the voters for a long time and they are about to pay dearly for it. They have kicked the voters in the face for far too long a time and the chickens are now coming home to roost.

Shit, I didn't realize there was so much material to be used to mock Ms. O'Donnell. Maybe the Democrats won't fuck this one up after all.

"I can't reach it with my mouth!" hahahahahah

I would like to say I don't have the time to worry about a wing nut wacko like her or Palin if I didn't deep down feel like they have a fighting chance of winning a general election. 'Murricans do love their fire and brimstone. We re-elected George W Bush for Christ's sake. We could elect anyone that scares up enough angry white folk.

she'll fit right in with the rest of the criminals in congress


Mr. Keegan explained that in 2009, when Ms. O'Donnell was out of money, she paid her landlord, Brent Vasher, two months rent out of her campaign funds. On FEC forms, Ms. O'Donnell called the expenditures "expense reimbursements." Mr. Keegan also attested that Ms. O'Donnell routinely used campaign funds for meals and gas, and even a bowling outing. This is not surprising given that Ms. O'Donnell has not held a steady job or had a discernable source of income for many years.
