Dems thrilled as tea party win stuns Delaware GOP

She was a better choice than Castle ( supports cap and trade) and she is a better choice than Coons. When is the media going to check his marxist background?

Don't play the game Barbbtx. This is just the new game, all Conservatives are idiots, just like Palin. The media managed to savage her, now every time a Conservative gets traction, suddenly they are idiots, loons, kooks...

It's Chicken Little Group Think on a massive scale.

No. There are some realy bright conservatives, from George Will to Chuck Grassley, but O'Donell isn't one of them (nor is Palin). And not many are tea Party members, who really are a kooky bunch on the whole.

:neener

Normally I'd say "As soon as they check her lunatic evangelical background"...

Problem is one of those things HAVE been checked and became the major theme in the media and one of them hasn't. What an AMAZING surprise :roll:

And the savaging begins. Seems like a decent person. She has strong conservative views but she is not an idiot.

Am guessing the media and the left will be making this the showcase contest in the mid-terms and O'Donnell will be this year's pinata. (not unlike Palin was a couple of years ago)

But in all fairness, Rove got things started with his remarks last night. Not sure what that dumb **** was thinking.....:roll:

This Rove crap makes me sad. I liked him.....now....what the hec is going on with him?
Today he said it is his job as a FOX political analist. (cant think how to spell it) oh well ANAL-ist fits.
Well that doesn't mean he should go over board attacking the republican. Still waiting to hear what he says about Coons.

If that was your single issue, fine. But if she can't win over Coons, are you better off or worse off from your POV?

So says conventional wisdom. BUT, here was a case of the people of Delaware, whom are Republican's sending a clear message they want a real difference to vote for. How that runs out in the General we'll just have to wait for Nov. to find out. But the Republican Voters (they live in Delaware too ya know) have spoken. Why do you act as if they don't count?

I do not pretend they do not count, they are all that counted in this election. What I am saying is that I find the attempts to brand these voters as the representative of the whole is ridiculous.

Rove, as I've learned over time, is an Establishment Republican. And he's attacking someone that directly threatens the Establishment. Honestly, I'm growing more disenchanted with the NATIONAL GOP by the day. Locally, statewise... all good. But the National Party needs an ass kicking.

They are the majority of Republican Voters in the State Primary. That's what I'm talking about. And that's what the Vote played out as. Why is this hard to get?

At this point I do think she is an anti-Semite on par with the Nazi's. What I think her answers illustrate is that she poor leadership skills.

All she is saying is that God would give her the answer. She would have said the same thing to any hypothetical question. It had nothing to do with Jews.

Why does the left have to play the bigot card at every turn? Maybe because they are deperate for anything to attack someone who believes in God. Better to get behind the likes of Mahr who makes fun of those people and insists God is not there but Hitler is.

It is not hard to get. There were a few posts that attempted to represent primary voters as a majority of Delawares electorate. Regardless, the real issue is whether she will split the Republican vote and perhaps even shift some GOP support to the Democrat candidate.
 
Honestly, I think Sarah Palin supports the Tea Party because it offers her a chance to take-out the GOP establishment that will never nominate her for a presidential run in 2012. She has known this since the 2008 elections and has supported Tea Party candidates ever-since. Thus, I think this is nothing more than her attempt at political career preservation.

Well here's a positive thing for the Dems.

If Sarah Palin runs for President in 2012 as TEA Party... that splits the Conservative vote between the TEA Party and whoever the Republicans put up...

Meaning an automatic Democrat win.

If he's not going to vote against a thing like cap and trade, we might as well elect a marxist.

Besides, the republicans and dems are going to be in for another surprise when she clobbers Coons.

You guys love that word, Marxist. I just wish you knew what it meant.

That said, the fact is the problem voting on one single issue, is that there are many issues that effect us. So, if you lose, and thus lose not only that one issue, but many others you might not have lost, did you win or lose with your vote? Are you better or worse for it?

I find it humorous, personally. Of course, I'll be voting for Charlie Crist, Independent, for Senator. I wonder whether he will reaffiliate with the republican party when he gets elected, or if he'll become a democrat.

We're trying to improve the republican party not keep it the same. As far as I'm concerned, the dems are welcome to Christ.

I dunno... I'm in the minority that thinks she has no interest in running for president in 2012. Just too soon, and she's very inexperienced. But I do think she may have some interest in running for president at some later date, or maybe start out with a Senate bid in 2014. She's still relatively young, so there's plenty of time for her.

It should be noted that she does not always support the Tea Party 100%... for example, in New Hampshire she backed Kelly Ayotte, who just barely won, over the more conservative Tea Party favorite in the race. IMO, this may have something to do with Ayotte being a woman... Palin has shown a strong bias towards female candidates recently.

Even if Palin does run in 2012, she's not stupid enough to run on a 3rd party Tea Party ticket. It won't happen.

It's getting difficult to look at any dems background and not find a few key words

Comminism, socialism, Kenya, Chicago, Community leader, unions, Islam, Global

The key words I look for in a candidate are
America exceptionalism, Freedom, Jobs, Liberty, smaller government, the Founding Fathers and the Constitution.

Those are words you don't hear from Dems these days unless they are taking a dump on them while they are talking.

So, to fool you, I only have to use key words, and not worry about presenting anything logical? Is that your position?

She's never been afraid to take on her own party. The People are doing the same now. We are tired of voting simply because somene has an R behind there name.
 
Personally, I am never "thrilled" when any party elevates a piss poor candidate.

It's one of Dan's favorite games. Corner him and he'll bring Reagan up and claim Reagan was the great moderate who inspired the left and the right to come together and got independents into it too. That's of course Poppycock, Reagan won by presenting the three things people want in a President.

1. Character
2. Leadership
3. Clear Vision

Reagan didn't draw everyone to the middle, he pulled the middle to him. But don't tell Dan that. He's trying to bring back "Reagan" by supporting republicans like Mike Castle.

spot on

reagan won by INTIMIDATING THE HELL out of the opposition, the rhino's, the media...

and he did it with a SMILE, with VELVET

he was an absolute MASTER

and it derived 100% from his CHARACTER, it was simply WHO HE WAS

which is why it was so easy for him to be so consistent

can you even IMAGINE the present presidential putz on pennsylvania ave pronouncing the prescription, "stay the course?"

the people loved dear ronnie, even the pols like him, he was the same in the oval office as he was in the residence, the same on tv, the same with his staff...

he was a GREAT MAN, he was RIGHT and he was able to COMMUNICATE it

obama's an oaf

There's a whole list of things others have been posting about Castle that I disagree with. Crap and Tax is just the worst one IMO.
And yea, bad enough that that one thing would lose him my vote.

If you want to know what Marxist is, ask Coons what his definition is. He's the one who is/was a proponent of it.

Am always open for getting educated. Can you provide your definition of what it (Marxism) means? And what you believe the mis-perception is from conservatives....??

For some here, being a Marxist is a natural evolution of accepting the proper political ideology, while having say... a religious belief is obviously the product of a diseased mind.
