It's not a mosque it is a cultural center. Technically a kitchen facing Mecca could be a.site of worship
 
whatever it is, the people with whom the rauf says he wants to improve relations don't want it

IMPROVE RELATIONS, mr rauf

it's your move

Democrats Rebel Against President Obama's Tax Hikes
by Donald Lambro
09/15/2010


A growing number of Democrats in Congress or running for open House and Senate seats are telling party leaders to extend the top income tax rate cuts that are due to expire at the end of this year.

The intraparty rebellion against a central Democratic campaign party
pledge in the 2008 presidential election is shaping up as an embarrassing rejection of President Obama’s plan to raise taxes on investors, small businesses and wealthier Americans makingover $250,000 a year.

No objective data supports that assertion, not even in econ 101.

Sure, people change. And i'm willing to accept change if she presents some evidence of change. Even if she simply says she was wrong then, I'll accept it. But would you simply believe a democrat changed without any evidence? Be honest. ;)

Christine O'Donnell seeks to reassure voters - David Catanese - POLITICO.com
"I was in my 20s and very excited and passionate about my newfound faith. But I can assure you, my faith has matured, and when I go to Washington, D.C., it'll be the Constitution on which I base all of my decisions, not my personal beliefs," she explained Thursday to cheers.

Coons, who has been careful not to go near any of the controversial aspects of O'Donnell's record, appeared to agree that her commentary on sex should be off-limits.

"It's my hope that in the general election campaign, my opponent and I can focus on our policy proposals, on the constructive ideas that we've got ... I don't think [voters] are particularly interested in statements that either of us made 20 or 30 years ago," he said in a line that also won applause, including O'Donnell's.

I wonder if Coons would be saying this if he didn't have "The Bearded Marxist" in his past?

Explain the origins of the Petrified Forest National Park and the Grand Canyon, then get back to us on that one, okay?
 
I say its in the public interest to condemn the land under the Antiquities Act to prevent the loss of an irreplaceable national landmark.

Of course, we'll need to replace the Muslim in the Whitehouse first.

That's what I found so funny.. it was so un-subtle I wonder if he meant that to be an explicit reference to it.

Usually they wait until someone loses a general election to throw them under the bus (Palin) but these conservative power brokers are brutal. O'Donnell is making her primary victory speech, and Karl Rove is tossing her right under the bus.

Tell him to throw it in reverse too, make sure this political career is dead. You don't want her hanging around as a political zombie like Palin.

What about it? Does it matter? Because personally, I really don't give a crap.

Yeah, it matters a bit. First, it is stupid, and that speaks to competence. Second, I have to ask is she's stupid or just pandering. Neither appeals to me much. So, I have more trouble with it than the sex silliness.

Awww, are you sad that the Tea Party is doing what Libertarians haven't been able to do? That's get people in position to win elections?
Click to expand...

You won a primary. Libertarians win lots of primaries for their party too. You ain't won the election yet; and I don't think anyone wants these type of rabid religious nut jobs in control. What we need is to restore sanity and install some amount of intellectualism into government; not the exact opposite.

Personally, I feel basic understanding and acceptance of science is a pre-requisite to anyone in a position as important as United States Senator. I don't know this for a fact, but given her strong faith there's a strong liklihood she doesn't accept the science behind evolution. If she can't accept basic biological facts, I have to wonder what else she might be grossly misinformed on. Say, for instance, basic economics.

edit:
CHRISTINE O'DONNELL: 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.

Oh dear.

O'Donnell won. She is the Republican that needs to beat Coons. Those are the choices.
Rove can think for himself without being all over FOX news and talk radio bashing her the way he is. It all sounds like sour grapes to me. He really wanted Castle to win. He's acting like a poor loser.

Imagine that! A rightie being a "sour grapes poor loser"!!!!

There, fixed it for you. Now it's saying what you really believe.

A good term for the Republican Party candidate for United States Senate in the state of Delaware.

Laughable.

She's just won the primary, and polls before actual candidates are nailed down are pretty useless, so it's too early for me to proclaim she'll never win. Therefore, I must for now consider the possibility that she has a chance of winning. Now it's not so funny. Faith is not a bad thing for a politician. Blind faith is.

Of course it is. He believes, and you probably do too, that every scientific theory that reinforces liberal goals is correct, while those that don't are only believed by fruitcakes.
