You're worried about ethics. Aren't you worried about Coons ethics?

Yes, and in a thread on the topic, I will discuss them. By the way, google is not giving me any info on his ethical problems so I cannot judge them. They are however, entirely irrelevant to O'Donnell's ethical issues.

So the fact that she called herself a wiccan for a while in high school or freaked out about masturbation back in the 90's shows that she's an airhead?

Obama bumped lines of cocaine throughout high school and college.
Biden plagiarized during law school and his presidential campaign.
Hillary held seances in the white house.

What does each of those facts show about Obama, Biden and Hillary?

Well Gee, George W. Bush went AWOL from the Alabama National Guard and may have been involved with insider trading...

really? where were the charges filed and what Court handed down a decision? Obama admitted coke use and Biden was found to have engaged in plagiarism.

What is really moronic was those who defended Kerry's questionable use of the three wound early out with three bandaids including at least one that was self inflicted defended Kerry's actions and his questionable medals with the claim that it was the military's decision and that decision is not subject to second guessing years later

well I actually agreed with that and since the Military never court martialed Bush, let alone charged him, your claims have absolutely no merit and are merely an urban myth

Which has what to do with the point I'm making? You made a foolish comment about how her statements showed that she was an airhead. I'm asking you whether you apply that same logic in other situations or whether you're just an unabashed partisan.

The fact that she believes in withcraft at all is probably the most frightening thing about her.

Why? Do Pagans scare you? And you should edit that. At one point she said she believed in witchcraft. Does she believe now? Maybe. And honestly, I don't give a ****. You can be a Zoroastrian-Quasi-Hindu-Part-Time-Norse believer if you are competent and otherwise rational for all I care.

Aside from her dubious finance issues, being a YEC bothers me. Basically, someone who can effectively live a huge lie without blinking should not be elected. When your belief system requires you to reject what you can test with your own hand, rationality is not something you hold.
 
None of it. Think of what realistically could be done politically with such views. Not much. The most you would see is a generous amount of conservatism, but held back where it counts, because reality hits.

Me: "O'Donnell said some dumb things in the 90's. How does that prove she's an airhead?

You: "Look, here's something else that she said in the 90's!"

Me: "......"


Once again, I acknowledge that O'Donnell said some dumb things in her past. What I'm asking you is whether you're arguing that those past dumb statements mean she's an idiot now. If you think that's the case, I'm asking you whether you apply that same logic when its your own preferred candidates under the microscope. I think I know the answer.

Okay, let me try again. The OPs poll gave other reasons to conclude O'Donnell is an airhead besides her dabbling in witchcraft and her opinion about masturbating. The most popular reason is that she is a YEC. I agree with all the reasons in the poll to find her an airhead and I would add that her poor spending habits make her unfit to hold office. But you want to talk about Hillary, Obama and Biden and compare them to O'Donnell. I'm sorry, but I don't see a valid comparison, nor do I think it relevant to the topic since they aren't running for office. So now what, are you going to call me an "unabashed partisan" and pretend your not? Or am I still missing your point?

I really don't think you have shown any equivalence here. If there was a Democratic candidate that acted the way she has, I would be wary of that candidate. I would need to what that person accomplish since that time. As I understand it, O'Donnell has been a professional candidate and that's it. zip, zero, nada. I don't think she was even a community organizer which is something good to have on your resume. :mrgreen:

What has she done, that makes here worthy of the job?

You're still missing the point.

Every single thing mentioned in the OP is something that she said back during her 20's. You're arguing that because she said those things, that means she's an airhead. I'm noting that many other prominent politicians did unsavory things in their past, such as using cocaine, plagiarizing articles, and holding seances.

For some reason, you don't see any problem with writing O'Donnell off as a lunatic because of her past statements, but you decline to criticize politicians on your side of the aisle who did those things.

Do you think Obama is a scumbag druggie because he used coke in his past? Is Biden an untrustworthy liar because he plagiarized in his past? Is Hillary a loony crackpot because she held seances in her past? If not, then why is this woman clearly an airhead because of the things she said in the past?

If you were actually complaining about the legitimate issues, that would be one thing. However, all I see are 300 post threads about witchcraft or masturbation.

The mice statement was 2007.

O'Donnell In 2007: Scientists Have Created Mice With Human Brains! | TPMDC

Furthermore, has she disowned some of them as "stupid **** I said when I was young?"

Honesty, I don't know of many YECs who once in their mid to late 20s abandon those beliefs. And if you belief requires you to deny as truth what you can test yourself in your own sink, that's not a good sign.
 
So far, Christine is NeoCon flunky; a pro-war, sham religious zealot, tyranny follower.

I'm going to out on a limb...no, on two limbs, I'm going to go walk outside and say that I could craft a simple science quiz no lawyer trained Congressman could pass.

Their skills are how to bamboozle, not science. How many of those clowns in the legislature know that mouse DNA is a close enough match to human DNA to allow successful splicing? Hell, how many of them can tell what the DNA stands for? How many of those would say it's a protein?

Ask one of the fools how a nuclear reactor works.

Ask someone as obviously intelligent as Nancy Pelosi how the mechanical advantage of a lever is calculated.

Ask Maxine Waters how a refrigerator works.

Want to know why I don't care if those cretins don't know the answers to those questions? It's because it's not their job to answer them. Their job is to write laws that fit inside the Constitution. O'Donnell can believe that human potential is being held back because each and every one of us has been invaded by Thetans who came to earth twenty billion years ago in spaceships that look like DC-8 airplanes, if that's her wish. So long as she's willing to obey the Constitution and not sell the federal government to Tom Cruise and John Travolta, that's all that matters.

You people that dislike O'Donnell dislike her not solely because of her religion, but because she's credible when she says she's going to uphold the Constitution, and you don't want Constitutionalists in the government.

Your agenda dies if the Senate starts to obey the Constitution again.

But Vince Foster's death was never adequately explained. Clinton's role in the cover up is certainly worthy of investigation.

My own opinion is that Foster suicided elsewhere and his body was moved to the park because it would have been embarassing to have Hillary's White House bedroom become the site of a major crime scene investigation.

Just kidding about that, but where did he die? It clearly wasn't the park, and that clearly raises many fascinating questions.

So there's nothing unusual in wanting that investigation opened and finished.

However, O'Donnell should look closer to now, and demand a full audit of Acorn, the federal reserve, and just how the Justice Department is using race to dismiss or ignore cases.

The link you included provided the context that explained her statement. She erroneously said that they had developed mice with human brains when the truth was that they developed mice with human brain cells. An embarrassing error to be sure, but hardly serious.

And to the best of my knowledge, she's stepped back from many of her statements, particularly those about sexuality.

Safe to say this lady is quite the character, my worst nightmare has come true as there is indeed more than one Sarah Palin and they can even be dumber!!

1- She dabbled into witch craft, dabbled being the key word here people. She only wet her beak shall we say. Never went all the way plus she was in high school. As she said who doesn't hang out with an satanists who carry out blood sacrifices on a blood alter during their mischievous teen years?

2-She believes scientists are cross breeding humans and rats, leading to rats with human brains...I wonder if she was indeed a member of one of these experiments but ended up a human with a rats brain?



3- Against Masturbation....this one speaks for itself :lamo

4- She is a YEC (young earth creationist). She believes that the Earth is indeed only a few thousand years old and that dinosaurs were planted by Satan to deceive us.


I think this tea party has just come to a point where regardless of whether you are right or left you have to say "this is getting out of hand". The Tea Party will not receive the respect it desires from both sides if this is who they back and want to run our government. Sarah Palin backed her, how on Earth is that a wise political move if you are going to run for POTUS in 2010.

The hilarity is all the intellectual snobbery on the left that is ****ing up every time they get in office after executing their incredibly stupid policies.
 
She said she is not a witch and if she was Karl Rove would be supporting her.
By the way, everytime they run that clip on TV I want to scream. Right there it is time stamped Oct. 29, 1999. No one ever mentions
Halloween. Don't they think maybe there is a connection? At least mention that maybe that's why she was talking about witches in the first place.
