Karl, is that you???
She isn’t liberal enough to be a daily conservative commentator for the MSM.
You must have posted on the wrong thread because you are out of it.
Guess you are young because COD has been around WAY before she started running for office.
She didn’t “damage” anyone’s image. The multiple exclamation points and ellipses, bad grammar, and use of the feminist “Ms” identify you as a troll.
COD is better than Patty Murray. You RINOs are such sore loserwomen.
I agree. Time for her to display some substance and go quietly. She lost.
And since Ms ODonnell has no other abilities it seems then to be a professional candidate for public office
She said she was exploring a possible book thing. Heck she’ll be on the book tour before long. Maybe just in time to follow Bush who’s getting his kicked off next week or so. Money has to be made..
Please.....
Barney Frank is a professional candidate for public office as are about 535 other folks who actually did manage to get elected or reelected the other day.
O’Donnell made a good stand for herself with Greta and on her commercials and other interviews. I’ll concede that the “I’m not a Witch” ad was ill conceived, but that was more reactionary to a series of ridiculous assaults that managed to unravel her campaign a bit.
She is absolutely correct when she says that the back room machinations helped do her in.
As for her being immature....well lets us all be informed when you get up the stones to run for office.
OK?
I promise to not to call you names.
So you would have preferred that lying, taxing, Harry's pet, balded marxist, creep Coons to this wonderful, decent, christian, conservative candidate Christine O'Donell? Hello?
Reposted from another thread:
You are correct in your analysis. COD is not going away anytime soon and her fans within the movement will rally behind her making it a litmus test of sorts, as if it is only possible to support fiscal conservatism by supporting this women, and rabidly attack anyone who disagrees.
I think what happened needs to be viewed in the context of the current political landscape. Right now the formula is a new face (or at least new to the movement) challenges a democrat and an establishment GOP person.
Then:
(1)They get alot of hype online and via the usual sources (Rush, FOX, etc.)
(2)They come out with some hard hitting messages about Obama/Pelosi/Reid and the debt and healthcare and such.
(3)Then they are attacked somehow by the media usually on personal matters (Palin’s baby for example) but sometimes gaffes (Angle’s hispanic/asian comment).
(4)Then the conservative base rallies around them and carries them to victory to the horror of Democrats.
So in COD case people, largely from out of state who did not know her, were introduced and simply thought to apply the formula. They saw a pretty lady talking bad about the state of washington so they thought this was the next Palin/Bachmann. No one bothered to check into her background as a professional political campaigner, the lawsuits, living off campaign money, the poor financial situation, odd personal history. They didn’t think they needed to as COD was saying all the pick up lines to get the Tea Party to fall in love. When CODs gaffes came out (ignorance about the constitution and supreme court, weird personal statements) people just chalked it up to step 3 and assumed that step 4 would follow as this was supposed to be a tidal wave election.
When this failed to happen many in the movement who have internalized COD as being one of us want to defend her and will attack anyone for perceived betrayal. Look at this thread for instance. Lots of comments about “COD has conservative principles damnit! Don’t you like conservatives?” with no proof at all for any of that. Palin was mayor then governor in Alaska. She can point to things she has done when asked to prove she is a conservative. Scott Brown could point to things and say he is a conservative (which for someone in Massachusetts he is). Angle could point to things and say she is a conservative. COD? Not really. Sure she is a social conservative but I don’t really see signs for abortion and abstinence only education at the rallies. Everyone is focused on fiscal issues right now and COD’s fiscal reputation is troubling.
The problem we have now is that people have dug in and assume like with Palin that skeptics will come around and her reputation will somehow soar. The difference is Palin is a very smart politician and COD is a walking gaffe machine. The movement has already damaged itself by jumping in to bed with her without really thinking it through.
We should make it very clear that COD is not an accurate representation of our movement which is a perception that Democrats will attempt to solidify amognst moderates (aka the people you can’t win the white house without). The good news is that this should be easy to accomplish as more and more people look into her history without an impending election. Instead of COD vesus Democrat with the “us vs them”/”vote the bastards out” thought process people can look at it with a “what does she bring to the table for us” mentality. Then they will find they do not like what they see and don’t want to have this bizzare* woman as a face of the movement at all.
* = my sincerest apologies to anyone on this site who is unmarried 41 year old woman, who don’t believe in masturbation, lives off campaign money and used to have picnics with witches on satanic altars.
You and Castle damage us more.
She did fantastic.
Now not only is there CES and PES but now O'ES
It seems to be incurable even when a Tea Party Conservative does a good job exposing the treacherous (to our Constitutional Republic) establishment GOP
