Christine O'Donnell: 'I Dabbled in Witchcraft'

1069 said:
Newsflash: college students aren't "kids"; they're old enough to get married and have kids of their own, or go get blown up in wars.

Additional breaking newsflash: nobody with half a brain cares whether O'Donnell did or did not practice "witchcraft"; we care that she still seems to believe that "witches" exist, even though she's purporting to be stable enough to hold a position in government.
Wiccans, by the way, do not practice blood sacrifice; according to her own statement about "blood" being "involved" in her "dabblings", what she actually "dabbled" in was not witchcraft but satanism.
I still don't care; it was the 80s. Everybody and their grandma were listening to headbanger music and carving pentagrams into their chests.
Again, the problem is that she does not brush it off as a ridiculous 80s cultural trend.
She seems to believe it was somehow real.
And that's pretty funny. :lol:

She was on Politically Incorrect when she said all this, right? Have you ever watched it? To get invited on 22 times I think you would have to be somewhat entertaining, but not necessarilly to be taken seriously.

But what about her financial irresponsibility? That's a very adult subject. And Republicans are supposed to be big on it. Embraced anyway?

There are a lot of Americans who can relate to her financial problems.

The part about not to be taken seriously is very correct

She would have been on PI because loons are entertaining, and she appears to be a loon or at least was

It'a sad my country can't come up with a viable third party that really believes the things the teaparty says it does. Instead what I see are a bunch of republican Obama haters that have candidates that are mediocre at best and pathetic at worst. And the fact that Palin is their bat girl really ruins it for me.

candidate one: "merry meet, blessed be," "bubble, bubble, toil and trouble," "i'll get you, my pretty..."

candidate two: ""the ideal of america as a beacon of freedom and justice was not based on reality," "beliefs in free enterprise and the boundless opportunities to be had in america were largely untrue," "distrustful of american power and willing to question the american notion of free enterprise"

bring it on

in times like these
 
candidate one:

"The small elite don't get us. They call us wacky. They call us wingnuts. We call us, 'We the people.'" We're loud, we're rowdy, we're passionate. It isn't tame, but boy, it sure is good."

"Washington is not the boss of me."

"There are a lot more of us than there are of them."

"I never had the high-paying job or the company car. It took me over a decade to pay off my student loans. I never had to worry about where to dock my yacht to reduce my taxes. And I'll bet most of you didn't, either."

"We're not trying to take back our country. We are our country. That's what's happening in America today, the grown-ups are taking away the keys."

"They even want unelected panels of bureaucrats to decide who gets what life-saving medical care and who is just too old, or it's too expensive to be worth saving. They'll buy your teenage daughter an abortion but they won't let her buy a soda in a school's vending machine."

"When I talk to people out on the campaign trail in Delaware, I'm hearing frustration, not only with the direction our country is headed but with the anti-Americanism that taints every outlet of the ruling class. Americans want our leaders to defend our values, our culture, our legacy of liberty and our way of life, not apologize."

You know what's really sad? It's the partisan right wing hacks here that would defend Guber on Mayberry RFD if he was a tea party candidate. He's one of us! Riiiiiight. :lamo:

this comparison is unfair to the goober character
besides being a dim bulb, goober was honest and had integrity
the latter characteristics are sorely lacking in those candidates endorsed by palin's tebaggers

She is for fiscal restraint, smaller government, repealing the health care bill, and is against cap and trade. I trust her to vote that way.
I'm not going to hold what she said on Politically Incorrect years ago, against her. It's a comedy/ entertainment show, and she seems to have succeeded in either being funny or entertaining. Apparenly Maher must have thought so to invite her back so many times.

Nobody reads the whole posts. You skim a few lines and move one. If someone cannot make proper sentence structures then it is a waste of time.

What I think is, what do you feel (site specific examples please) Charlie Rangel did that bares him the response from the right who also live in glass houses?

PostPartisan - Charlie Rangel is no crook
~snip
On his federal tax returns, Rangel failed to declare rental income from a vacation property he owns in the Dominican Republic -- a mortifying embarrassment for the one-time chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, which writes the tax code. But certain facts about this transgression rarely get mentioned. For one thing, Rangel’s so-called “villa” can’t be very palatial, since it cost only $82,750 when he bought it in 1987. For another, Rangel has already filed amended tax returns and paid everything he owed, plus penalties and interest.

The remaining charges are yawn-inducing. Even assuming that the allegations, as presented to the House Ethics Committee, are wholly true, the case against Rangel has a Gertrude Stein problem: There’s no there there.

Rangel is accused of abusing his office -- using congressional staff, official stationery, and the unique access that his power and seniority gave him -- to raise funds for a Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at the City College of New York. The idea was to create an institution, situated in his Harlem district, that would house his papers and curate his legacy.

This can accurately be described as hubris. But if it’s a crime for powerful, long-serving members of Congress to hold themselves in abnormally high regard -- and to believe that future generations can learn from their sterling example -- then we’re going to have to build more prisons.

Rangel apparently was careless in filling out his required financial disclosure forms; he should have known better than to take that important exercise so lightly. And he’s accused of using a rent-controlled Harlem apartment as a campaign office -- which, I suppose, makes him the first New Yorker to look for loopholes in the city’s Byzantine rent-control laws. But where’s the old-fashioned venality? Where’s the out-and-out graft? Where’s even the hint of avarice?

What’s missing is any allegation that Rangel bent or broke a single House rule -- or even a New York city ordinance -- for his own gain. The Ethics Committee charges make much of a promotional flyer for the proposed Rangel Center that indicated Rangel would have an office at the facility. But, come on, does that really constitute a “personal benefit” under the law? Does anyone think that the legendary Charlie Rangel, after representing Harlem for four decades, doesn’t have a friend or two who would be happy to give him all the office space he wants once he eventually retires?

Rangel was trying to satisfy his ego, not line his pockets. The real crime would be if such a long, distinguished, important public career ended in disgrace.

Oh hells bells, is this seriously the best that the opposition to O'Donnell can do? They have so little real dirt on her that they have to go digging 10 or 20 years into the past? :lol:

How about we focus on, oh I don't know, something more recent? Like the accusations about how she's spending her campaign money?
