How about her actions? Anyone can say anything. Her actions seem to say that she doesn't care about paying her bills or working hard. Her actions seem to say that she thrives on media attention.
How is pointing that out a "vicious" attack?
No pictures?
lol...THAT was funny!
I wasn’t referring to your answer when I was talking about vicious attacks? Yours were part of a whole picture.
But I get from your response that you agree that neocons aren’t Conservative, they do want to destroy Conservatives through personal attacks, but you don’t think their attacks would be called vicious, perhaps justified.
Yes, when you don’t like somebody, when you want to hurt them, you can attack them. I’m just pointing out the neocons don’t like conservatives and want to hurt them. And they don’t argue about policy, because they would reveal themselves as being unconservative. So they attack her personally.
The Conservative (Christine) was attacked by the enemy (the neocons fairly. I shouldn’t have said that the neocon enemy was vicious. But the behavior of the neocons toward the conservative was the behavior of one enemy to another.
To those of you who feel the need to dismiss, ridicule or otherwise demean Christine O’Donnell; why don’t you get the hell off your fat asses and do something? At least she is engaged in the battle. It’s so damned easy to sit on the internet and anonymously post criticisms but it solves nothing. You’re worse than liberals.
I am afraid she is our version of Al Sharpton. She is going to use politics as a way of supporting herself financially. Lets not kid ourselves, she was not a good candidate. She doesn’t kid herself, the last thing she expects is to actually win. This way she can support herself without having to actually work for a living, like Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
I gave a lot of money to her.
She means well but she is not surefooted enough.
>>Mostly because I have heard that she used the campaign funds she raised last cycle for personal bills.<<
What you have “heard” is what the media wants you to hear. She is being sued, by Biden operatives and the GOP RINOs, because she used campaign funds to pay rent on a townhouse she “claims” was a campaign headquarters.
I’ve been inside and a)it is not the lavish palace as portrayed and b) it was most definitely a campaign HQ. She didn’t use GOP facilities, because THEY REFUSED TO LET HER. When she opened two campaign offices after the primary, the RINOs rushed to support local candidates and plastered Castle for Senate signs all over the place.
Please be a little more selective in believing what you hear.
“Based on their reaction to her, I count her as an ally and someone worthy of my support, even if I don’t know anything else about her.”
I’m with you 100%.
That needed to be stated. Thanks.
I don't know if your comment was supposed to be funny or you are unintentionally a comic. I can only hear what is presented. I have not heard a commentator give a positive report on her situation, but would be open to hearing it. The only talk show that brought it up was M. Medved. He HATES her with a passion, and I hate him above all "conservative" talkers.(I listen because he is on at noon, the alternative is the comic). The gist of the argument is that she raised huge money, and spent like a pauper. She either banked the money, or spent it on herself instead of getting her message out. I could easily be persuaded if there was any other message out there. There is not one, not even a long thread about it on this forum.
How can I hear the truth of the situation, if O’Donnell does not present a defense. I have not heard Rush, Beck, Medved or Levin bring forth a defense at all. The MSM has really not covered her except to report any allegations. THERE IS NO IN DEPTH ANALYSIS. If you know of any, please point me to it.
O’Donnell has presented a defense. So what does that say about YOUR research skills, intelligence, and political awareness, that you don’t know what it is?
You can drag a fool to facts, but you can’t make him think.
I’m neither a comic nor particularly funny. My point is if you listen to those that blast her (Rove, Medved, Krauthammer, etc.), it will bias your opinion against her.
Much has been made of her fund raising and her campaign spending, much of it distorted (intentionally). She ran her primary against Castle on the cheap - no lit drops, volunteers doing the polling, etc. - and ran up some bills for HQ rent and phone bills.
After the primary, DE GOP Party fought against her, National Party gave her a pittance, and she was sued by a Biden operative in cohoots with Tom Ross. She didn’t start raising big money until two weeks before the general election. By then, all the TV and radio time was bought up. She had to rely on invites on radio and a local cable access channel (who “lost” the tape, twice!) The rest of her campaign funds remain in escrow for legal battles.
Now consider this, 18% of DE PUBs voted for the Marxist, Coons, rather than try to win.
