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.

Calm down? - LOL! So I see you’re embarrassed.

Sit down and enjoy a bowl of cheerios and then check your oil! LOL!! Check to see who is promoting them first - that’s the key you need to look for!

“Good post. It should be on billboards across the nation!! People WILL start thinking!”

How did “billboards across the nation!!” work out for you last time?

Maybe if you frame it as a big conspiracy that McCain was in on that will convince people you are serious people discussing serious issues with a serious mindset.

Not likely, just a bunch of wackadoo conspiracy theorists stocking up on tinfoil.

LMAO....funny stuff. Actually, McCain has just earned the wrath of Tea Partiers and a bad wind is heading his way. Too bad for him. Guess it qualifies as a bad spell. LOL

I'd like to see Sarah Palin slap down McCain, and this is the perfect opportunity.

That's your opinion - but you have no clue if McDonnell would want that. Do you think McDonnell isn't capable? She's doing a great job and SARAH isn't so obnoxious as some of you here to interfere w/someone who is VERY CAPABLE of shining on their own.

That's conservatism - which many here can't grasp because their agenda is too blinding.

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.

Shove your control through intimidation up your liberal *ss - that game is so old, you are obviously a tired OLD fool.

We're on the same side; we just disagree about how damaging Palin’s endorsement of McCain is to her future as

Don't flatter yourself - and don't try to attach yourself to me in any way. Sarah isn't damaged - that's your rabid 'anti-palin' stance speaking. You keep pouncing on it hoping others can see it your way. Only a small mind would think someone endorsing a candidate is damaged. More so, SARAH!

Sold out or camp out where ever she goes. And here you are - spending time on someone you think is damaged. LOL!! It's quite obvious who the damaged one is and credibility shot!

The most dangerous place in the world is between McCain and a camera.

I’ll take that as things are going over your head today. Not too much going on ‘upstairs’, I see.

I’ll let you seek the attention you crave from someone of your own kind who see from empty eye to empty eye.

How embarrassing for you. Unable to defend your position on billboards and their glorious past in bringing your position to the promised land of Trump glory and birther deliverance- all you can do is try to insult me ineffectually with all the wit and prowess of a middleschool lackwit.

EAT CROW AND LIKE IT!

Hey, that’s your bag, not mine. I’m actually married to a liberal woman, so my options are limited.

While I’m on record as thinking Johnny would have been better than Obama for prez, I am also of the firm belief that the average crackhead would perform similarly. That said...

The last go around in 2010 there was only 1 vote left blank on my sheet. McCain. I couldn’t bring myself to vote Dem, nor would I vote McCain after his hit job on Palin and constant traitorous behavior... so I can relate. I now think I should have as well. He still would have won, but I would likely sleep better.

Side note: For those that take offense to McCain being called traitorous, he has earned that through his constant siding with dems and attacks on loyal Americans.

RINO’s are more damaging than hard lefties.

And have been for the past 30 years.
