Transcript:
Teacher: OK, class - listen up. It's education week and our guest educator is Senate hopeful, Christine O'Donnell, gave save us... O'Donnell: Class. I have several things I want to teach you today. Firstly, like, I only dabbled in witchcraft and all that. Y'know, like for youthful curiosity, right? Then, like, I ran for U.S. Senator, like... next, campaign funds have only one purpose and that's to be misused! Hey - you leave that money lying around what's a girl to do? Right? That's fiscal responsibility, right? Next, masturbation is, like, lustful and sinful, and you MUST stop it! Like that boy, there - stop that at once! I stopped it and so can you! Run for Senator instead. It's the same thing, anyway. And another thing - evolution is a myth! If it were true I might have evolved into a stupid monkey! I am a Tea Party member endorsed by that great intellectual Sarah Palin! We have taken over the Tea Party! Tomorrow, the world! Study hard! It's education week. Student: She lost me with that masturbation bit.

She will probably win: By now, most people will settle for “not too bright” over “criminally insane”…
And they did elect that world renowned genius, Joe Biden.

@Radish : Devolution is real. You don’t have to look very far to see the evidence. Jerry Casale said that. He is / was right.

Washington State is politically divided by a mountain range. It is a given that DEM win the west and GOP win the east. Doesn’t matter who the candidates are.
CorosiveFrog Premium Member over 13 years ago
She will be elected. It’s what we’have seen in other places at other times; a nation in pain falls for demagoguery.
raycity over 13 years ago
Maybe she can get together with All Green the dem’s wisard.

“It’s the same thing anyway.” LOL!!! Even more so for the C-Street Republicans.
Jaedabee Premium Member over 13 years ago
What’s she doing out of the house, anyway. Didn’t Bob McDonnell write in his thesis that working women are destroying America?! Good conservative women belong in the home.

CF, she is double digits behind. I realize you have an agenda you are trying to voice but, you don’t understand America nearly as well as you think you do.
Jaedabee Premium Member over 13 years ago
^ You’re right. It’s time to start executing people we don’t like for religious reasons, formally state a national religion, put women and gays in their place, and force the “lower people” to work long hours for little pay. And if I say certain people need not apply, I mean it. *
Truly the Golden Ages are upon us.

America is made of people. When times are hard, people turn to people they think can help them, often to the most flamboyant and the one who tells them what they want to hear.
And it usually ends bad.

“the age of American Progressivism is over”
Where have you been? “Liberal” has been a dirty word in American politics since Reagan. The country has been on a long swing to the right. I’ve seen it, and Justice Stevens spoke of it upon his retirement. Conservatives have ruled the roost, and they are the ones who have failed.
They are the reason we will be the last country in the G8 to offer health insurance to all it’s citizens. It is fashionable among conservatives to scoff at anything European just because it IS European, thus they ignore many useful examples that we could learn from. Yet how can one explain away this fact? England currently has “socialized medicine”, and a 7.8% unemployment rate while we are at 9.6%. Yeah, it really screwed them up, didn’ t it?
I recently heard a British citizen express his dismay over the American health care debate. He asked how we could watch billions of health care dollars go to fund large insurance company profits, executive salaries, lobbyists, corporate red tape, drug company adds and the like; and think we are acheiving high efficiency. What he didn’t realize is that laissez-faire capitalism has become a near religion in the US, and as such, it’s adherents no longer feel the need to use logic.

Narrowminded - Jade was using a bit of hyperbole, but the spirit of what she was saying is spouted out on Fox every day. If you haven’t heard it, it’s because you aren’t listening.
SmokyStover over 13 years ago
Narrowminded, what an appropriate name for you. Both you and Ms. O’Donnell are not conservatives. You are reactionaries. And your ideas are bankrupt. But at least you have a proper name.

I’m beginning to understand why the spammers keep coming here.
After all, a guy who would buy the notion that the Progressives have been in charge for the Past 30 years will buy anything

What the heck is the point of bringing up her tween dabbles of “witchcraft”? Why does anyone care what she did when she was 12/13? This isn’t 17th century Massachusetts. Give it a rest. Besides, it take emphases away from the other things that make her an undesirable candidate.

Spaghettus1 – not to mention the shameful, excessive, ostentatious money that is wasted on filling the airwaves with lies for stupid elections every 2 years.

“What the heck is the point of bringing up her tween dabbles of “witchcraft””
Even as far back as Barack Obama’s childhood has been used against him politically.“Jade, In my opinion, your views of conservatism aren’t based in reality. I am a conservative and don’t hold to any of the positions stated in your post. Could you further explain your perspective? I’m curious where these ideas on conservatism are taught.”
While it’s a bit of an exaggeration, (I flagged my post as such), here’s where I get it:”^ You’re right. (1) It’s time to start executing people we don’t like for religious reasons, (2) formally state a national religion, (3) put women and gays in their place, (4) and force the “lower people” to work long hours for little pay. (5) And if I say certain people need not apply, I mean it. *
The “death penalty for being gay or a ‘gay ally’” in Uganda was founded by staunch conservatives in the U.S. who are very “friendly” with Congress, in fact several members stay at their apartments…er .. “church.” Sally Kern and several other prominent Conservatives have rated gays more of an enemy to the country than terrorists, who they claim need to be killed on sight. Several prominent conservatives claim that this country was founded by Judeo-Christians and that is the only religion whose laws should be recognized. It is another reason why gays are treated as second class citizens. Potential Presidential hopefuls such as graduate-of-Pat-Robertson’s university Bob McDonnell “I’m a man of business but one of my first actions was to remove equal state protection for gays” wrote in his Thesis that one of the primary reasons for the sinking of our country is women out of the home. The Conservative attacks on unions and minimum wage laws while protecting the rights of executives to completely sap their companies dry. The Conservative attacks and demands for the repeal of the 14th Amendment; the attacks on Muslim Americans; the attacks on illegal immigrants even when the practice they’re highlighting is done by affluent legal tourists.Rotnrichard over 13 years ago
This is what you get for voting.. We should all read and take to heart, P.J. O’Rourke’s book, “DON’T VOTE it just encourages the bastards.

CF, we will revisit this after the election…

I hope you all realize that Jade is being sarcastic–and very clever her remarks are!
