You are right that all are sinners. I agree. However, O’Donnell has demonstrated that she has an integrity problem. She lied about so many things during the campaign, I have no reason to believe that she would be a principled conservative.

She lied about her education, she lied on a conservative radio show when confronted with her previous lies about her prior electoral performance, she lied about her lawsuit against a conservative organization (using a femi-nazi cause of action), she lied by presenting an image to the public that she doesn’t abide by in private.

If she lies about these things, why should I give her the benefit of the doubt? Especially when there are other options? Would you take away my right as an American to point out my misgivings or to select another candidate who better fits my values? I’m not saying to support Coons, as he also is a liar and a marxist to boot. However, one can support one of the other options on the ballot, or write in a better candidate.

Real Freedom means that I might not support the candidates that you like each and every time. If you want to vote for O’Donnell, fine. I’m not telling you not to. I’m telling you why I can’t support her.

Hey, I'm not trying to take your rights away. The government's got that covered. If you honestly don't think she'll do ok. Then don't vote for her. I honestly don't think most of the people who will be elected will be principled conservatives. That's your job as a citizen. You have to pressure them to vote the way you want them to. That means the ones who stray to the left will have to be defeated in the primaries in '12. I still want to see the Dems get a serious beating on Tuesday. I'm watching this race from afar and if you think those things are substantive, then you need to follow your conscience.

I've been thinking she's a political newbie who's a typical woman who tries to make herself look better by telling people what she thinks they want to hear. That usually means lying about things like sex for women (underreporting by 2/3).

In summary, I've been watching this from afar without any prior knowledge of her but with great skepticism of negative things I hear in the media. Therefore, I've accepted that she's a flawed person, but probably a conservative who can be made to vote the right way - if the people keep her in line.

I’m confused, I thought dems were the heroes of womens rights, equality and all that.

What is it? A fella could do this and not an eyebrow would be lifted; it would be a non-story.

I hope she wins— she lands right on the issues and that’s what we need.

Though... I wouldn’t pick her for a friend.

You and Danny H/dannyHH wouldn’t happen to be part of a concerted effort to suppress the conservative vote, would you?
