No, where you and I differ is that you think she is a nut, and cannot offer convincing proof.
Everything Rove accused her of was asked and answered, with documentation.
So, she dabbled in witchcraft. So what?
Has she lied about it? Has she deceived anyone about it?
You’re the one using a comedy show that was a humorous political bull session 11 years ago to nail her hide to the tree when there is serious business at hand.
You vainly try to build a case on nothing.
No sale.
I don’t see you taking the slings and arrows she is.
I don’t see you being perfect under the withering onslaught of attacks she has borne.
I don’t see you still standing after Karl Rove and Charles Krauthammer attack your character and veracity.
I don’t see you taking on the entrenched political establishment and paying the price like she is.
At least she is in the arena, fighting for me and my family and I can respect that.
What I can’t respect is all of you naysayers trying to drag this all too human candidate through the mud instead at least fighting the Left on her behalf, with the future of the country at stake.
So move on, and let real patriots fight for the citizen candidate who is not oh-so-polished-and-urbane.
You can sit there and risk nothing if you are right.
I am committed to her, and risk looking stupid if I am wrong.
My money and time are already invested in her, you know, “the idiot”.
So sit there and snipe. May your chains rest lightly upon you if she loses.
The fact that you wrote this sentence, really sums up my entire argument.
When speaking about a Republican Senate candidate, you say "So, she dabbled in witchcraft. So what?", and you don't see the problem in that statement.
Here's the bottom line - O'Donnell can be better than Castle, FAR better than Coons, and still be a peculiar, strange or even nutty person.
She has absolutely no record of personal achievement, other than being a guest on MTV and ABC talk shows. She has started no businesses. She has managed no businesses, or even have a record of any discernable mid-management experience in any business. She has not held prior office of any kind. She not a remarkable military leader. She has published no scholarly works, or possessed any other kind of notable acedemic achievement.
And in spite of all that, she's the person to hang your hat on. It's simply amazing.
So many other quality Republican candidates out there who need help - and have a likelihood of winning - and yet it's this very odd woman who's being sainted.
