Christine O’Donnell Fires Back At Sen. McCain For Insulting Her On Senate Floor
Mediaite ^ | 7/28/11 | Frances Martel

Posted on 07/28/2011 9:47:13 AM PDT by Nachum

In a fit of anti-Tea Party rage, Sen. John McCain tossed a media exposure lifesaver out to former Delaware senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell, insulting the Tea Party for having launched her to the Republican nomination. O’Donnell graciously accepted the opportunity to make headlines once again, releasing as epic a statement as we haven’t seen since the Homeric tribute to Newt Gingrich last May.

Needless to say, being dismissed as a crazy candidate did not sit well with the Senate hopeful known mostly for having to clarify whether or not she was a witch. In a short and sweet statement, she reminded Sen. McCain of the “nightmare” that was his presidential race as proof that nominating Tea Partiers like her (and not “RINOs” like him) is the key to success:

I think that it is inappropriate to insult the judgment of the majority of Republicans in Nevada and Delaware and that the implication that nominating RINOs somehow means we win was irrefutably disproven by McCain’s own presidential candidacy debacle. After that nightmare, McCain had to veer right so fast he almost got whiplash from all his flip-flopping just to keep his Senate seat. It doesn’t help him to attack those conservatives and Tea Partiers who graciously gave him another chance to keep his job.

Maybe only 5 or 6 here, but across the country there are millions of chumps who think that McCain makes sense. We can’t concede ALL the votes of the clueless!

So, people who think Palin should break with the liberal RINO McCain are “liberals”,

YES - and a good way of them showing it is how they want to CONTROL people - like the commies!

Yes, but thankee rightbackatcha, just the same. Your POS’s are just as much your fault as McCain is mine. People who blame Sarah Palin and AZ FReepers for John McCain make me sick.

Just bringing a dose of reality around for the demagogues.

What are you babbling about now? Who wants to control anything? I'd like to see Sarah Palin slap down McCain, and this is the perfect opportunity.

Are you on medication? That's a serious question, because if not, you may want to contact a physician. You make ZERO sense in terms of logic. We're on the same side; we just disagree about how damaging Palin’s endorsement of McCain is to her future as a conservative candidate.

Is it fair to say, then, that those candidates bashing McCain are acting on principle, while Palin is taking the “DC” approach?

If so, that damages her as a serious reform candidate, IMO.

Yeah! Billboards asking “Where is McCain’s Birth Certificate?” should really get people thinking.

Carling, if you can’t see that she cannot blast McCain, since she was his running mate, and that it would be regarded as disloyal, I can’t explain it. She’s using good common sense. We don’t need Gov. Palin to comment on *everything* for us. We can use our own strong voices.
MCCAIN, YOU’RE A DUNCE! There. LOL Bob

Are you comparing McLame to something good for you, like Cheerios?

OMG!!! It's AMAZING!!!!!!! how some read into things for their own agenda. But you gave me a great laugh at the stupidity and I'll tell you why - just got my mail and on the top were store advertisements and I saw Cheerios and just used that. And Cheerios doesn't make me sick either!

Gawd - what kind of nuts am I dealing with here!

Now you can see why I'm laughing and how your 'mind reading' to suit your agenda falls flat. Sorry, I didn't use Valvoline Oil and say my car doesn't take well to that. .

I guess I gave you more credit than due. However, considering you are in the 'anti Palin' group, I should have known better - they are desperate and have no bounds.

So, back to the scenario - it must HAVE reached a nerve - since you ignored it and ran after the cheerios instead. LOL!! You can't make this stuff up but here it is!!

Please don’t go off the rails. McCain faced hell on earth in Vietnam, and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

From here I will remain silent and let your inane posts speak for themselves.

Nothing I say could make you look as silly as your own words have already done.

Cheers!

You SHOWED you are. LOL! What does YOUR McCain BC have to do to the below what I was referring to! Can't you EVEN follow posts?? Or is it you're a McCain lover?

It is almost as if the senator is glad that Harry Reid is the senate majority leader.

It is almost as if the senator is elated that Delaware, Nevada and Alaska were not gains by conservatives.

It is almost like the senator is really a liberal double agent working to destroy the conservative cause.

It is almost like the senator ran a campaign such its goal was to ensure Obama was elected.

It is almost like the senator was the republican nominee so that his birth in Panama could be used to inoculate Obama from scrutiny about his mysterious bastard birth and forged documents.

It is almost like the senator has spent his career as the faux-republican on political talk shows so that real conservatives are never heard from, providing cover to the networks against the charge of being one sided.

It is almost like McCain is the enemy within. Almost???

By your fruits you will know them.. Jesus Matt 7 If it looks like a lib, talks like a lib and acts like it lib it is ... a McCain? 19 posted on Thursday, July 28, 2011 1:35:48 PM by DaveyB
