Democrats shouldn’t crow too loudly about Christine O’Donnell’s Republican primary victory for the open Senate seat in Delaware.
Yeah, she’s nuts.
That’s all the Tea Party serves up is a bowl of mixed nuts. It’s gotten so bad that the Planters corporation is suing for product defamation.
O’Donnell is especially odd on the matter of sex. She’s on record saying condoms don’t prevent AIDS, that AIDS victims shouldn’t be called “victims,” and that masturbation is bad, bad, bad.
Yes, O’Donnell’s upset will make it more likely for the Democrats to win the Senate seat there, and thus hang on to majority control of that chamber. But don’t count her out, since hard-core conservatives are going to show up in huge numbers on November 2, no matter what.
Even if, as expected, she loses the campaign, O’Donnell represents the rise of the far right in America. She was correct when she said, in her victory speech, that she’s riding a wave.
It’s a wave with a dangerous undertow, and it could take our democracy away with it.
Her victory on Tuesday was another triumph for Sarah Palin, who’s proving to be quite the queenmaker.
Palin’s endorsements have paid off dramatically, and with every new one, it seems more and more possible that she could actually win the Republican nomination. Already, she has the highest favorability ratings among the leading candidates, and her unfavorables were comparable to Romney’s. It is Palin, more than any other Republican figure in the country, who senses the moment and is seizing it.
Some Democrats think that’s great, on the assumption that, as the Republican nominee, she’d have no chance of beating Obama.
But be careful what you wish for. She’d start with about 40 percent of the voters who can’t stand Obama. And she wouldn’t have far to go to make it a race. If the economy continues to stall, who knows?
The Progressive? ‘Nuff said...
Still don’t see how this wave could ‘take our democracy with it’
O’Donnell is aising $2,500 a minute right now. See the link on Drudge. She started with a 50k goal. Now she’s 93% of the way to 500,000. There are 700,000 voters in Delaware in total. The RNSC got scared (of us basically) and gave her $47,000 earlier in the day as well. :P
Dem Dems is in troubles.
That's right.
Just 11%.
Libturds still haven't figured out that they live in a Republic.
U.S. Constitution Article 4 - The States Section 4 - Republican Government The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,...
All this does is give Coons a CHANCE to win, when he had NO chance before. He is not guaranteed anything...not in this climate. People see that others feel the same as they do, and they are responding exponentially...
“Still don’t see how this wave could ‘take our democracy with it.”
It would get rid of the Dem’s mob-ocracy & restore a REPUBLIC!
(((PING)))
Anyone know how Mr. Coons is doing in his fundraising as compared to Mrs. O’Donnell?
God Almighty - Planters jokes? I haven’t heard those since George Jessel died.
If pundits are right and democrats have a disastrous November 2nd, the lib rags will be a SCREAM to read!!!
EVERYONE: Put the money bomb link from Drudge up on your facebook.
“she’s on record saying condoms don’t prevent AIDS,”
So if I put a condom on my winky then shoot heroin into my eyeball using a needle I found on the floor or a junkie crack house, I’m not at risk for AIDS?
cool beans!
IIRC, condoms have a 3-5% failure rate, even in the best of circumstances, so it’s Russian Roulette.
Liberals like to insist that we are democracy, when in fact, we are a "Constitutional Republic". Probably because they have trampled on the Constitution so much, they forgot we have one!
“Still don’t see how this wave could ‘take our democracy with it.”
By “Democracy” they mean voter fraud schemes, amnesty for illegals, public union payoffs for votes along with any other way they can steal elections to push their agenda through.
