Focus on another race then.
In Delaware, a good conservative has a good chance to win.
There are 2 senate elections in NY. Go root FOR someone there.
There are A LOT of elections on tuesday.
Find a RINO you like there. Don’t tear down conservatives.
Showing that she later satisfied the lien does not make her statement truthful that she was never pursued for foreclosure or had a judgment against her before she took the steps of getting it sold before the judgment was carried out. Otherwise, this would not have been nearly as big of an issue to many. Merely falling on hard times is not a mark against one's integrity - it can happen to any of us when we least expect it...
She has a whole section on her web site showing all documentation from her home lien, satisfaction of mortgage. she deals with it all, provides PDF files from the IRS. I don’t know what you want from this woman but another symptom of Christine O’Donnell derangement syndrome...she can never do anything to correct the issue.
Once again, whether or not she ended up satisfying the debts is not relevant to what we are discussing. The issue is honesty about what happened - or merely telling people it is none of their business would be fine. Saying things that aren't true to cover up, on the other hand, is not appropriate conduct. Making false complaints in court filings as part of a lawsuit is not appropriate conduct (claiming she was forced to drop Master's degree courses that she apprently wasn't even enrolled in), even assuming the other underlying merits of the suit were legitimate to begin with, although thinking about this particular issue further there is another party, her lawyer, that could have been in error rather than O'Donnell in that case as she did not write that brief herself...on this she may not be a culpable as appears on the surface.
It is difficult to believe those excusing this behavior or making light of it - if the shoe were on the other foot and these allegations were to come out against a Democrat there would much, much made of it by those saying it is no big deal in this instance.
Main thing I'm getting at is that our standards for integrity should apply equally. In fact we should hold those who would represent our own views to an even higher standard if anything - they represent us. I'll leave it at that. I don't envy your position being in Delaware - I can sit here without making a choice and just analyze the situation which doesn't provide the same perspective as someone who is viewing it specifically through the lense of election politics. I really don't think I could vote for either of them - Castle because of his ideology, and O'Donnell is not looking like a viable alternative...but what I'm getting at here wasn't advice on who to vote for - just addressing specifically the issue at hand and whether we should find it appropriate.
Have a good one! - RW
We really have only one choice here, Senator Coons or Senator Castle. I'd take the later any day of the week.
That’s because what you know comes not from O’Donnell but from your gods in the Ruling Class.
>>>Your past has a huge impact on electability, and it does have to be factored in when deciding who to vote for in a primary. I mean, this is just reality. It may not be fair, but then, life isn’t fair.<<<
Sooo, that is supposed to be justification for ignoring the opponents obvious wrong-ness?
Castle is morally and spiritually bankrupt!
I suppose you support his almost macabre obsession with abortion and experimentation with human cloning.
You must also buy into his Al Gore ‘Global Warming’ BS.
Do you really think he is right to base votes for Cap and Trade on George $oro$ funded Center for American Progress? You know, John Podesta and Van Jones!!! READ HIS PRESS RELEASE!
His senility is showing when he uses YOUR tax dollars to print and send me a letter on 0bamacare where he says he co-sponsors Common Sense Health Care Reform and Affordability Act (H.R. 4038) Oooooops, wake up Congressman! You DIDN’T do that... You actually co-sponsored H.R. 5424 the Reform Americans Can Afford Act of 2010..... AND you waited till your feet were held to the fire - July 30th, 2010.
Castle’s heyday was when he was approving designs of quarters and naming post offices! His every venture since have been one disaster after another!
Go away!
There are a lot of other races to worry about on Tuesday.
A lot of US Senate races, a lot of Republican Primaries.
Make sure your favorite RINO wins there.

NO
MORE
RINOS
Stop Cap & Trade
Stop Castle
Delaware and other RINO/Democrat strongholds are stinking liberal cesspools precisely because crooked liberal politicians have been allowed to attain and hold public office in those areas.
"Roll over and die" is not a winning strategy, anywhere.
No. And if you want to silence dissent, that you are no better than any leftist fascist.
No, Delaware is a stinking liberal cesspool, because the people who live there are predominately liberal. That’s just a fact. Further, handing a Senate seat to a filthy Rat who will vote against you EVERY single time, is not a winning strategy either. Coons can’t beat Castle. Coons WILL beat O’Donnell.
Yes, “let’s see things for what they are.”
The only argument against O’Donnell is to say that we need the Ruling Class to stay in power.
Meaning we need Obama and everything he’s doing with Castle. Obamacare, shrinking our military, cap and trade, deficits, government power to control the people.
If you want these things, oppose O’Donnell. If not, support her.
For someone with a user ID like “freedomwarrior”, you sure seem to be in a big hurry to surrender to the communists.
Have you notice the supposedly ‘conservatives’ on this thread attacking O’Donnell also attack Palin in the same manner.
I think it’s more a hatred of women or resentment then on whether they conservative bonafides.
I am soooo glad you asked me this.
NO....the very scary Gaffney NEVER interviewed Castle.
Mike Castle NEVER allows interviews with the media...NEVER.
With one notable exception, just recently. Castle was interviewed for ten minutes by WDEL. Luckily word got around fast because he NEVER gives advance notice because somebody might ask him a question about his voting record. I was able to quick get on line and stream it.
Follows, as I paraphrase, is one of only about three questions the interviewer asked: “What do you think of the Tea Party? Do you think it’s good? Bad? Maybe a little of both?”
I’m not making this up.
BUT....let me assert that this interview came at 5:30, exactly 45 minutes after O’Donnell got the nod from Palin. No interview before that, none since...no advance notice.
Now about that question....you think it was a little loaded? Let’s take Journalism 101...never give your interviewie the answer to your question.
Of course Castle’s answer was, and I paraphrase...”The Tea Parties are a little both. One of the big problems is the out of state money they bring into my opponent’s campaign.”
MIKE CASTLE GOT 67% of his CAMPAIGN FUNDS FROM OUT STATE, BANK OF AMERICA...remember, this is Delaware, capital of American corps....you don’t think they give to Castle’s campaign? BankofAmerica....banks, those who benefitted from his TARP bailout.
Did that interviewer ask how many dollars he...CASTLE...got from out of state?
Castle owns this state. I’ve no doubt that Mr. Gaffney would like to get on that gravy train.
I’ve got every one of those emails. Gaffney’s got a horse in this race, I know it.
I know Christine, personally.
Christine O’Donnell is a nice, sincere lady. She’s had issues with her life but seriously, she did NOT, no matter what they’d have you believe, murder her mother. To see this bashing of this candidate is a bit heartbreaking. and from people I use to think of as Freeper Friends. I’ve been on Freerepublic for almost ten years. I regularly post, can write a word or two, am an honest Conservative.
What Castle is doing here, along with his minions who want some of the sunshine....is a real sin.
Why? Because I am pragmatic about the state of the electorate in Delaware? Can you provide proof that the people of Delaware are any different from my assertion? This is a State where Obama still has a 50-50 approval rating. Where Kerry and Obama won over 60% of the vote.
O'Donnell has run in the State before, and she barely broke 30%. Given her blatant lies and dirty campaigning, there is no reason to think this year would be any different.
There is a difference between picking and choosing your battles, and "surrender." Until you fix the people of Delaware, you have to take what you can get.
They demoted her for violating policy about operating a for-profit venture there. The suit looks retaliatory to me and her claim is very nebulous. She just discovered this supposed repugnant “subservient” policy AFTER she was demoted? No mental anguish over the policy until then, eh? GMAFB, lol! This has the total look of somebody looking to squeeze a settlement out of their employer because they’re pissed off about being told the rules are for everyone.
I don’t want to send yet another person to DC who thinks the rules are for everyone else but them and will go to extremes, including lie to the court, to get their way when told “no.” And I hate the gender card just as much as I hate the queer card and almost as much as I hate the race card. $7M in damages? GMAFB. She’s got hustler written all over her, at least as far as the suit goes, and that just destroys her credibility in my eyes.
Nope, get the hook. She showed some promise, but she’s really an empty vessel, no different than zero or the Clintons - tells people what they want to hear, but lives by a completely different set of rules/no rules for herself.
Clearly that must be it. [/sarcasm] It's just mean old guys who hate women. [/sarcasm]
They are NOT wild conspiracy charges. There’s footage available showing CASTLE’s people videotaping her campaign events.
Now nothing wrong with this as they are open to the public but that’s all the woman asserted, that they follow her. Which they do. They want to catch her eating lobster or something.
>>Please try to pay attention, I know there is a lot of different threads of this thread.<<
However, your insinuations and assertions omitted - as Paul Harvey used to say, ‘The rest of the story’.
