Democrats shouldn’t crow too loudly about Christine O’Donnell’s Republican primary victory for the open Senate seat in Delaware.
Yeah, she’s nuts.
That’s all the Tea Party serves up is a bowl of mixed nuts. It’s gotten so bad that the Planters corporation is suing for product defamation.
O’Donnell is especially odd on the matter of sex. She’s on record saying condoms don’t prevent AIDS, that AIDS victims shouldn’t be called “victims,” and that masturbation is bad, bad, bad.
Yes, O’Donnell’s upset will make it more likely for the Democrats to win the Senate seat there, and thus hang on to majority control of that chamber. But don’t count her out, since hard-core conservatives are going to show up in huge numbers on November 2, no matter what.
Even if, as expected, she loses the campaign, O’Donnell represents the rise of the far right in America. She was correct when she said, in her victory speech, that she’s riding a wave.
It’s a wave with a dangerous undertow, and it could take our democracy away with it.
Her victory on Tuesday was another triumph for Sarah Palin, who’s proving to be quite the queenmaker.
Palin’s endorsements have paid off dramatically, and with every new one, it seems more and more possible that she could actually win the Republican nomination. Already, she has the highest favorability ratings among the leading candidates, and her unfavorables were comparable to Romney’s. It is Palin, more than any other Republican figure in the country, who senses the moment and is seizing it.
Some Democrats think that’s great, on the assumption that, as the Republican nominee, she’d have no chance of beating Obama.
But be careful what you wish for. She’d start with about 40 percent of the voters who can’t stand Obama. And she wouldn’t have far to go to make it a race. If the economy continues to stall, who knows?
If there was an award for tired lame jokes...
Let's see if we can help the liberal out on this one (and anyone with a probabilities background is welcome to join in).
According to planed parent hood, a condom is 90% effective at preventing pregnancy.
A woman can only become pregnant approximately 6 days out of every month.
That means a condom only has to work 20% of the time, and during that time, it is only successful 90% of the time.
AIDS is transmissible 100% of the time. My statistics and probabilities haven't been used since college, but I put a condom at about 18% successful at preventing AIDS.
Hardly a ringing endorsement, but it hasn't stopped the government from spending millions to promote “safe” sex!
And this is from Obama's CDC.
LOL...remember when Sarah quit her governorship and all the “experts” in both parties said that was the end of her influence in politics? Yes, they are proving that they can be wrong all the time.
Mayby so--but the nuts of the Tea Party are nothing compared to the hate-filled, bigotted, greedy, intolerant, un-liberal, America-hating psychos who make up the Leftist Freakshow.
“She’s on record saying condoms don’t prevent AIDS, that AIDS victims shouldn’t be called “victims,” and that masturbation is bad, bad, bad.”
What planet do these people live on? Condoms might retard the spread of AIDS, but they don’t prevent it. AIDS-infectees, with the exception of people like those who got it long ago from blood transfusions, are not “victims”, any more than people who get herpes are “Herpes victims”. As for masturbation, last time I checked, it was still considered a moral indiscretion by almost everyone, even if it’s a commonplace one. If there’s nothing wrong with it, we wouldn’t sneak off to the bathroom or wherever to do it :P
I sure as hell hope so, we need to restore a constitutional Republic.
“IIRC, condoms have a 3-5% failure rate, even in the best of circumstances, so it’s Russian Roulette.”
The “best of circumstances” is key to that statistic. Really, it means they don’t count the malfunctions that can happen if the product is not “deployed” just right, which is not uncommon.
I love it that conservative women are winning. Conservative women have spent decades in the wilderness preparing for this. The insults and belittling should just run off our backs.
Let’s roll.
If you are a lawyer, and the person that you wish to discredit is female, employment of the "Nuts and Sluts" strategy has some success with juries. It is a chavenistic technique to discredit the female opposition without actually having to address relevant issues related to credibility. First provide some irregularity in the female opponents history; it doesn't have to be related to the present. Then find a sexual irregularity, no matter how trivial. The jury will then draw their own conclusions.
Read what this guy wrote again. He even gets it in the right order. First a paragraph about nuts, then sex.
It's rather vapid when you know the motive.
And as someone e-mailed me, people that have unprotected sex with and HIV positive person don't ALWAYS become infected - so maybe I need to increase the probability of condom protection for that (although I don't know how you'd factor such a possibility).
Bottom line to me is this: if I had a choice between reliving my youth and spending another year in Viet Nam, or having sex with a known HIV infected person for a year (with or without a condom) - I'd take Nam. I had more confidence in the guys I was with keeping me safe than a thin plastic doohickey.
I really don't understand how people feel so indestructible just because they use a condom.
So what exactly is happeing today with the likes of Obama as president and Reid/Pelosi as the leaders in Congress?
Author of this article is a moron.
People usually 'sneak off' to the bathroom in order to have a dump as well, there is nothing morally wrong with it, its just that kind of thing is best done behind closed doors...
>>Still don’t see how this wave could ‘take our democracy with it’<<
He was talking about their version of democracy. His expression of “our” didn’t include us and our version of democracy.
After all, she took out a Castle...
Cheers!
“People usually ‘sneak off’ to the bathroom in order to have a dump as well, there is nothing morally wrong with it, its just that kind of thing is best done behind closed doors...”
Ok, then why do people who masturbate in public have to register for life, while people who take a dump in public only have to pay a fine?
> “She’s on record saying condoms don’t prevent AIDS, that AIDS victims shouldn’t be called ‘victims’”

This is a big one to the leftists and the pharma poison vendors.
“AIDS” is a much bigger hoax than global warming or ozone depletion. Dr Duesberg established that AIDS is not itself a transmissable disease, and pretending that it is is a multi-billion dollar per year hoax that empowers numerous scammers world wide.
