Nothing like a little research of the opposition....But of your own candidate???
This is why I am without a party.

Bill Kristol has been advising Sarah No, he hasn't. He was her debate coach during the campaign and that was that.

These attacks come in waves. We’ve see the waves hit, and after a few days it’s not nearly as bad as it sounds. Certainly Odonnell is ambitious, and she has had to scramble in life. I suspect she didn’t get caught up with paying for her degree for so long is because she didn’t have the money. Shame!
Big question though. Castle waits until just a few days before the election to drop this “bombshell”, is this it? No, this is the last minute Bush DUI hit piece meant to bloody her up. She won’t have time to fend of the last wave. I suspect this is not as bad as it sounds.

See #130. I'll add that the mortgage lawsuit, the college non-graduation flap, the FEC fines, and the failure to pay campaign staffers all took place after the GOP nomination in 2008.

“Once in a while, the smears are actually the truth.”
With this logic, you would have to have 1,440 broken clocks placed around your house, and then you would have to know which one to look at corresponding with each minute of the day.
Just to know what time it is.
Now tell me, how many smears do you plan to listen to, in order to know what’s really going on in the world?

Your excellent post needs to be repeated in bold red letters!
Dont believe the liars on this thread who state that none of this was known back in 2008.
Christine ODonnell ran against Tom Carper back in 2005 for Gods sake. She ran as an Independent, as a write in.
Then in 2008 she was nominated by the same Delaware GOP now villifying her, to run against Joe Biden.
All of this stuff was known and frankly its pretty much all theyve got.
Some money problems, now all paid. This lawsuit she filed but dropped but look at how the hyenas hoot and holler like this is a big deal.
Its all been known for years.
Theyre hoping to manipulate emotions and it seems to work for some of the lower IQ who dont stop and think...hey, why didnt they vet Christine in 2008 if shes so bad.
Who dont think it odd that she was good enough to endorse when she ran against Biden who she couldnt beat but is a woman who probably murdered her mother now that she might beat their hero, Mike Castle.
Mike Castles votes in the House are more damning than anything theyve ALREADY FOUND on Christine ODonnell.
And they justify the Delaware GOPs nomination of this mother-murderer in 2008 because they knew she couldnt win but now that she might win...
You think theyd let Obama get away with that?

Tell your wife that she is supposed to be subordinate to men.

Is that what you would tell a daughter?
Ahhh, I know where I’ve heard that before - Sharia Law....

>> O’Donnell’s problem is that she is just a regular person, with zits and skeletons in the closet, just like me, just like you.
No, she is not a regular person. Sharron Angle in AZ is a regular person. Mike Miller in AK is a (very accomplished) regular person. Ron Johnson in WI is a regular person. They are normal people - and they may win or lose their election (Angle has an uphill battle), but they are all reasonable candidates.
O’Donnell is a fruitcake. I’m sure there are plenty Angles, Millers and Johnsons in DE, but unfortunately none of them wanted to contest the nomination. So, we are stuck with the RINO, but you cannot get all the breaks go our way.

“He put his support behind Castle, admitting that Castle was a RINO, but adding that Castle was a sure winner in the election while O’Donnell was not.”
So we should start electing Republicans who are more liberal than the average Democrat? How is that a “sure winner?”

I figure it’s just that people are so tired of all the attacks, and so sure that all the attacks must be false, that they are no longer thinking, just responding mindlessly.
I can’t imagine that, if you put that quote in any other context, conservatives would argue that a solid conservative candidate would ever say “ISI’s conservative philosophy dictated that women must be subordinate to men”.
The lawsuit failed, so apparently even the liberal courts didn’t buy her argument.
But apaprently, we are supposed to believe that since a RINO party allowed her to win a primary in 2008, that nothing we now find out about her could possibly be true.
Because, you know, we never learn anything about anybody by going through the political process.

Who says the lawsuit is absurd. She like everyone else in this country has a legitimate right to have their day in court.. She felt she was released from employment and harassed due to her gender. Based upon the way that the GOP of Delaware is treating hr in hr bid against a Pro-Abortion, Pro-CArbon TAx LIBERAL Republican it is no wonder that she might feel harassed by a supposed conservative entity. Up until tort reform is a reality, and loser pays is put into place in this country, it is not only a conservatives right, but also their responsibility to use the courts to their advantage, just like the liberal SCUMBAGS.
This is much to do about nothing and everything to do about helping party favorite Mike Castle. Castle has been at the Government tit for over FOUR DECADES, he is part of the problem, NOT part of solution.
It would be far better to have her win in the primary and lose in the general even if it allows for the Senate to remain Democrat. Better that than a mildly Republican Senate with one more LIBERAL Republican like the bitches from Maine and their “moderate” brethren.
The House is the important chamber to take and to take big in order to control the spending. If the houses are split Obama will have much more trouble blaming anything on the Republicans. As for Castle having him lose in the primary is as good a way as any to end his worthless and harmful career as a RINO.
I hope he loses big. He is a RINO Pig at the Government trough long enough. If elected to the Senate he would be one more hurdle for the true Conservatives to overcome in every meaningful and important legislation which we MUST undertake.

Most conservatives who supported Castle did so only reluctantly. This makes it even harder to support him.

“Wow. Glad this got out before the primary. If all this is true, she is probably so fundamentally flawed as a candidate that there is no way she can win a general.”
IF. A very big IF. So big that you can put it in the category of “conveniently timed election smears.”
The weakly standard is the voice of the RINO elite. Of course we can expect them to to come to the defense of their boy.

I personally don't care if Christine robbed a bank. All of her problems or inconsistencies affected HER, not ME. And those problems and/or inconsistencies PALE in comparison to the modern-day Royalists we have in Washington destroying and plundering our great nation.
Mike Castle's support of Cap and Tax, abortion, and not repealing Obamacare directly affects me, my family, and community.
Is Christine a bad candidate? She has her flaws, and it's too bad nobody else in DE stepped up to challenge Castle. But she has a right to run, she ran in 2008 and apparently the GOP didn't care about her background enough just as long as they were happy she was a sacrificial lamb to Biden.
So the Christine haters can go pound sand. I hope this woman wins, and if she loses, I hope DE conservatives stay home and deny Castle the seat.

The old boys club does not take kindly to women crashing their beltway party. Unless you are an America-hating, pro-gay marriage, and pro-abort of course.

I didn’t tell anybody not to vote for her. Feel free to vote for her, despite the evidence.
I’m just saying that before I thought it would be good to have her beat Castle, and that I thought she might be able to pull out the general. I was almost certain of it after Palins’ endorsement.
But that was a false hope based on ignorance. This article, and the subsequent research I finally did for myself rather than relying on other freeper’s personal testimonies, has convinced me that she will NEVER win a general election.
Unless of course we count the votes the way she did when she claimed she won two out of 3 counties.
