The shortest timeframe known to man is the speed in which the Establishmedia begins mocking a Conservative and FReepers join in that mockfest.
Then they will complain there are no Conservatives running.
Pray for America
The MSM is mocking O'Donnell because of the witchcraft soundbite (which is meaningless and which I don't care about) and because of her very conservative stance on social issues (which I wholeheartedly share with her).
I am not mocking her, but criticizing her candidacy because of her (1) complete lack of substantive accomplishments, (2) her inability to accomplish basic life milestones that 90% of GOP voters accomplish (finishing school, remaining gainfully employed for an extended period of time, owning a home, getting married, raising a family, etc.), (3) her inability to meet basic deadlines that all productive citizens would be expected to meet (like filing taxes, filing FEC forms for running for office), (4) her very liberal impulse to engage in politically correct litigation (suing an employer for firing her and claiming that it was due to sexism), (5) her admitted emotional instability (in her court filing she claimed that her continued years of unemployment were due to having flashbacks and breakdowns as she relived her firing over and over in her head, until she was urged by her family to seek psychiatric help), (6) her long track record of fudging with the truth (misleading claims in court filings, misrespresentations on resumes, lying about her college degree), and finally (7) her constant need to be the center of attention, to the point of helping Bill Maher win ratings by agreeing to be the "airheaded conservative" panel member on his show (not to mention her record as a prennial office seeker).
What shocks me about the MSM is that they have not latched onto any of these red flags - leading me to believe that Coons also has financial disclosure issues, resume issues and mental health issues.
