I could care less if she is a pagan or not, having known several, the main issue I have with her is if she used her campaign account as her personal checking account, which is illegal.
Then perhaps the hit machine should focus on that instead of trying to villify her for "I dabbled into witchcraft when I was a teenager" bullshit. Morons...too stupid to realize just how pathetically stupid they are.

She should convert to Islam.. that would really make the lefties head explode.. It is pretty clear though that they are pretty much against any woman achieving any sort of position of power.

Really? Then why are there more than three times as many women in the house, and in the senate, who are democrats than who are republicans?

You are right about the primary system.

Sadly the Democrat vetting process in 2008 turned out to be "he is a black man who doesn't sound like a black man" :swoon: and not much else.

What does a black man sound like?

It's actually not BS, if someone was gullible enough to believe that as a teenager means that they weren't raised right. Where were her parents and why did they allow her to date witches/Satanists? It gives another peek into how screwed up an upbringing she had.

Also, you should answer the question marks I raised in my last post:

<<<1) Work background: How is she supporting herself if she only made $5,800 from 3/2009 - 6/2010? She's never been married so who is supporting her and why isn't she disclosing how she is paying her bills? Why would someone want a person who's never had a real job to fix the Delaware/US economy?

2) Educational background: Why did it take her 9 years to pay the judgement she owed to her college Farleigh Dickinson (filed in 1994, she paid it in 2003); isn't it the same "charge it now, pay it later" mentality that tanked our economy? Also, why did it take her 16 years to finish an English BA and only do it this year when she knew her background would be scrutinized?

3) Blatant Lying: Saying she beat Biden in 2 counties which was obviously false, and saying she went to grad school in her lawsuit against ISI.

4) Religious issues: She claims to be a Christian and against mastrbtion/pre-marital sex but she's never been married. So she's a real life 41 year old virgin? I'd love to see someone ask her that.

5) Irrationality: In a debate last week, she claims that there is more evidence that God created the earth in 6 days than there is for the theory of natural selection. While I am a believer in creationism, even I admit that there isn't any evidence that God created the Earth in 6 days other than the Bible. Does she not think before she opens her mouth?>>>

because it's out of the 'norm' which leave her open to ridicule.

Glad to oblige.

I imagine that the amulet business is booming and she's not reporting it on her taxes.:eek:

Why would someone want a person who's never had a real job to fix the Delaware/US economy?
Valid point...and I think we're finding out right now just how serious this problem is with our current leadership.

2) Educational background: Why did it take her 9 years to pay the judgement she owed to her college Farleigh Dickinson (filed in 1994, she paid it in 2003); isn't it the same "charge it now, pay it later" mentality that tanked our economy???
"charge it now, pay it later"...is this really something you're concerned about? If so, you have much bigger fish to fry than to attack someone running for office from a backwater state...no? Or do you just feign concern because you're a moronic hack and it's expedient for you to allege hypocrisy? So tell me...who's the real hypocrite here?

Also, why did it take her 16 years to finish an English BA and only do it this year when she knew her background would be scrutinized?
No nit is too small for you. Seriously...wtf is with you?

3) Blatant Lying: Saying she beat Biden in 2 counties which was obviously false, and saying she went to grad school in her lawsuit against ISI.
F'ing lying witch! Burn her at the stake!

4) Religious issues: She claims to be a Christian and against mastrbtion/pre-marital sex but she's never been married. So she's a real life 41 year old virgin? I'd love to see someone ask her that.
F'ing lying, hypocritical witch! Throw her in a volcano!

5) Irrationality: In a debate last week, she claims that there is more evidence that God created the earth in 6 days than there is for the theory of natural selection. While I am a believer in creationism, even I admit that there isn't any evidence that God created the Earth in 6 days other than the Bible. Does she not think before she opens her mouth?>>>
And you, of all people, have the audacity to speak of irrationality. But then again...you do appear to be an authority on the subject.

Paganism is like any other religion. There are level headed pagans that you would never know were pagan unless the told you. It's no different than believing in an all powerful all knowing god who can't really control anything. both are based on myth but most pagans have a nature based belief system.

Yeah that hit machine really knows how to focus on irrelevant things like birth certificates, Rev Wright, etc.

Do pagans run for Senate in a party whose social belief is God? And then publicly state they used to be a pagan but now believe in God? Consistency matters and it astounds me that there isn't a more electable candidate than her in DE.

Paganism is a legitimate religion which you post seemed to say you did not think it was. And like I said it's no worse than believing in an invisible man in the sky. All religion is for the gullible. I;m sure there are atheists who used to be Christians in office but don't announce it because of the repercussions.

It's actually not BS, if someone was gullible enough to believe that as a teenager means that they weren't raised right.

As for her fitness for office, I'd be more worried about the reports of her using campaign fund for personal use.

It's immaterial whether she was a witch or not, there are better views she has that can be picked apart.

You can take the opportunistic outrage position doc or you can look at the facts. Sure some people are taking shots at her because she is so far out there that even mainstream republicans have called her nutty.

If you look at the facts like living off of campaign contributions and lying to Media about her past then she has serous ethical concerns.

Most people outside the conservitive echo chamber has serious questions about her competency. Same basic questions we had about palin btw since she has about the same vetting.

You can jump up and down in outrage or you can deal in facts.....

It's still like 99% purely partisan driven. If the letter next to her name was a D instead of an R, all the people making fun of her would shut up, and everyone who is not mocking her now would.

You can jump up and down in your own circle jerk, or you can look at the larger facts yourself. We have a President who once "dabbled" with a guy who set off bombs throughout this country. Fake witchcraft in highschool? Shall we continue the pointless partisan hackery? That's all this is.

Oh, the double standards are heavy in this thread. She said she dabbled in it as a teenager. She hasn't done it since.

Where are the cries then for Obama when he was younger and dabbling in Communism?
Where are the cries for Ted Kennedy after murdering a girl by drowning her in a river?
Where are the cries for Charlie Rangel and the corruption?

Obviously, the right has just as many flaws if not more, but these were things that occurred a long time ago and have not reoccurred since (except for Charlie Rangel, yet he keeps getting re-elected). Are we to hold everyone responsible for what they did as a teenager?

Fucking morons, how about just pointing out the obvious flaws with her? Examine her use of campaign funds; examine her tax problems; go after her political views, etc.

So you basically agree with everything I said. And 16 years to finish an English degree? You seriously don't think we deserve better than an uneducated moron in the Senate running this country? A nit? Let me turn the tables: What the fck is wrong with you?

Karl Rove: What makes you think O'Donnell is a witch?
MSNBC: She turned me into a newt!
O'Donnell: I'm not a witch I'm not a witch!
Karl Rove: But you are dressed as one.
O'Donnell: *They* dressed me up like this!
The Media: We didn't! We didn't...
O'Donnell: And this isn't my nose. It's a false one.
Karl Rove: Well?
MSNBC: Well, we did do the nose.
Karl Rove: The nose?
MSNBC: And the hat, but she is a witch!
The Media: Yeah! Burn her! Burn her!
Karl Rove: Did you dress her up like this?
MSNBC: No!
ABC: No!
CBS: No!
MSNBC: No!
CNN: Yes!
MSNBC: Yeah a bit.
ABC: A bit!
CBS: A bit!
MSNBC: But she has got a wart!
Karl Rove: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
MSNBC: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Karl Rove: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
MSNBC: Burn them.
Karl Rove: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
MSNBC: More witches.
CBS: Wood.
Karl Rove: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
CNN: ...because they're made of... wood?
Karl Rove: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
MSNBC: Build a bridge out of her.
Karl Rove: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
MSNBC: Oh yeah.
Karl Rove: Does wood sink in water?
MSNBC: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Karl Rove: No, no. What else floats in water?
MSNBC: Bread.
CBS: Apples.
CNN: Very small rocks.
MSNBC: Cider.
CBS: Gravy.
CNN: Cherries.
MSNBC: Mud.
CBS: Churches.
CNN: Lead! Lead!
Charles Krauthammer: A Duck.
Karl Rove: ...Exactly. So, logically...
MSNBC: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Karl Rove: And therefore...
CBS: ...A witch!

I don't have issues dealing with facts...I'm just trying to make a distinction between what's relevant vs what's bullshit. It appears that we have more than a few here that are having a difficult time distinguishing the difference.

If some liberals are now going to set such lofty litmus tests for conservative candidates such as dumb things a candidate did as a teenager or how long it took them to get a degree...they'll either need to do this with every one of their own candidates or, failing that, tatoo the words "hypocritical partisan hack" onto their low, sloping foreheads.

If a candidate has ethics issues, they should be investigated...let the chips fall where they may. But this nit picking the minutia to smear a candidate is bullshit.

Like accusing Michelle Obama of saying "whitey"?
Like repeating Hussein over and over until 30% the slopeheads in West Va think he is an "A-rab"

You...and every moronic hack who thinks like you.

Nice retort from a mental midget. I bet it took you 16 years to get an English degree as well. You sure have cast your spell of idiocy on us all, and it didn't even take snake blood or a mouse tail.

Spoken like a true GED candidate. I get it, you guys never went to college. Shame on us scrutinizing a possible Senator for taking 16 years to finish their English degree, not working a real job, won't disclose where they got money to pay bills since they don't work, and having a horrible financial history despite touting fiscal conservatism in the Tea Party. They are going to help fix the economy... /roll
