Christine O’Donnell versus Bush’s Brain?

The new Republican nominee for United States senator in Delaware said this morning that Karl Rove, the Republican strategist who had predicted her defeat, was “eating some humble pie.”

In an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America, Ms. O’Donnell responded to withering criticism by Mr. Rove on Fox news late Tuesday night, in which he called her dishonest and plagued by scandals that will make her unelectable in November. He also said of her: “There’s just a lot of nutty things she’s been saying that just simply don’t add up.”

Ms. O’Donnell dismissed his comments. “Everything he is saying is unfactual,” she said. “And its a shame, because he’s the same so-called political guru that predicted I wasn’t going to win. And we won and we won big.”

Maybe not yet, but he soon will be. A prophetic word from Christine.

I have been a loyal GOPer my whole life. That changed yesterday listening to the RNC drones trash talk one of their own nominees.

I am donating my time and money directly to candidates, like O’Donnell in Delaware, from now on. The RINO machine running the GOP needs to be terminated.

The best way to hammer the message home to the RINO clique is for the Conservative movement to pull out all the stops to make sure O’Donnell wins in Nov.

“It took me 12 years to pay off my college degree, my college loans,” she said. “I’m not a trust fund baby. Most Delawarians can relate to having to work hard to pay for their college education. I was never dishonest about that.” ___________________________________________________________ Fine with me. Go Chrisine. Take out another lib in the general.

How much of the tea-party wins are coming from cross-over, primary voting by.....Rats?

[Oshkalaboomboom]

I looked at the article on Drudge and the first thing I noticed was how they put down her grammar. So the MSM will be adopting Karl Rove’s strategy of casting her as an unbalanced bimbo.

Why won’t the GOP help O’Donnell win the Seante seat? The Party held a primary, and she won it. She is the choice of GOP voters in DE. Or did the people make the WRONG choice, according to party leadership? Kinda points out where the problem is, doesn’t it?

HEY ROVE! - - YOU JUST DON’T GET IT!? DO YOU?

[Genoa]

Send their reply envelope back empty with TEA PARTY written on the back in block letters with a red sharpie.

I watched Rove duke it out on Fox last night and came away with the distinct impression that O’Donnell failed to suck up to him adequately when they met. But I could be just imagining things.

“It’s humiliating that the party gets behind this guy who they say is the only person who can win but doesn’t stand for anything that the party stands for,” she said.

As for the charges by Mr. Rove and others, including allegations that she lied about payment of her student loans and taxes, Ms. O’Donnell said her campaign had already answered those questions and posted information on her campaign website.

“It took me 12 years to pay off my college degree, my college loans,” she said. “I’m not a trust fund baby. Most Delawarians can relate to having to work hard to pay for their college education. I was never dishonest about that.”

Bingo!

"I am donating my time and money directly to candidates"

GOP:

I didn’t hear Dana Perino last night, but according to several posts in one of the LIVE threads, she was thrashing against O’Donnell.

This morning, she was on with Bill Hemmer (FoxNews). She had toned down and was saying O’Donnell could win but it was going to be an uphill battle.

Maybe the elites have been reading the various general public posts and their own emails and found they are losing popularity.

Karl Rove made an a** out of him self.

[ilgipper]

The Bushies and Rove did this to Katherine Harris back when she ran for Senate. Threw her under the bus before she even had a chance as the nominee. It is incredibly frustrating. This may be the best development out of the Tea Party movement...a new infrastructure to actually support the best candidates. The RNC and related congressional committees are not interested in expanding conservatism, only maintaining their own power structure.

Karl Rove’s strategy of casting her as an unbalanced bimbo

Maybe he's using reverse psychology to turn out the voters. You, know, getting us really, really mad?? Rove, you magnificent bastard!

[Crichton]

How much of the tea-party wins are coming from cross-over, primary voting by.....Rats?

None. Delaware, for instance, has a closed primary.

“So the MSM will be adopting Karl Rove’s strategy of casting her as an unbalanced bimbo.”

Exactly. Who the hell wants to donate money to fund a smear campaign against conservatives?

[bcsco]

Here's a post I just made on another thread, along with the relative email address. I'm letting them know how I feel... RNC Fire Pelosi Tour.

I'm fed up.
