and surprise no mainstream media coverage or attacks ala O'Donnell
remmember the Dems always use the personal attacks when thier candidate has problems or skeletons in his/her closet to misdirect from thier 'shining star'. Please feel free to post the attack and hit pieces from aminstream media on Coon's jaded past and opinions, if you can find them.
Again another lessor of two evils election

From what he wrote when he was 21?
The article wrote:
Coons, 47, has already been targeted by Republicans for an article he
wrote for the Amherst College newspaper when he was 21 -- a piece
entitled "Chris Coons: The Making of a Bearded Marxist." |

I think you HAVE to be nuts to get into politics these days, however, with the bar being set so much lower, maybe my entry-level discharge and intoxicated mug shot would be less of an impediment to politics. Now I just need to pick a hard-line stance on some controversial, preferably social issue, and immediately have a base.

So the witchcraft comment from when O'Donnel was in high school is a sticking point, but the writings from the "bearded marxist" from when he was 21 isn't.
Irony is ironic...
Anyway, Had to go to the UK to get a news reporter to cover our local Tea Party monthly meetings here in Fairfield...
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/8010919/Tea-Party-insurgents-prepare-to-seize-power-in-2012.html - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/8010919/Tea-Party-insurgents-prepare-to-seize-power-in-2012.html
No way would a American "journOlist" cover this with a fair article...
"That was before I attended a Tea Party event. The gathering I chose was essentially at random. I happened to be in Cincinnati, Ohio and wanted to see a local event, rather than a big Tea Party rally, for myself. A few hours later, I was inside the Old Spaghetti Factory in Fairfield, Ohio. "
I wish I had known he was there...
"First they were ignored. Then they were derided as the tools of Big Money. Then they were branded as racists, the unhinged, the unwashed, the paranoid, the subversive and the ignorant - or some combination thereof.
Now, they stand accused of aiding and abetting the enemy by splitting the Republican party and giving Democrats hope for the November mid-terms. It has been a rough ride for members of the Tea Party in the 19 months since their movement sprung up.
But each insult and attempt to marginalise them seems only to have stiffened their resolve and swelled their numbers. Polling indicates that they are now more popular than either Republicans or Democrats. Despite all the claims they are extremists, around half of the electorate now identifies with the Tea Party and up to a quarter view themselves as members.
The time for them to be taken seriously is long overdue. The Tea Party will be pivotal in November. It has ripped up the playbook for the 2012 Republican primaries. Asnd it could just end up kicking http://telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barack-obama - President Barack Obama out of the White House.
Christine O'Donnell's Senate primary victory in tiny Delaware last week rocked the world of the Republican establishment in Washington. Widely portrayed as a kook and bitterly opposed by the Republican party, she defeated Mike Castle, a moderate Republican who had held continuous political office in the state since 1965.
Castle was widely regarded as a shoo-in against the Democrat on November 2nd. O'Donnell is a political novice and a patchy campaigner. The secret of her win? Endorsements by Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor, and the Tea Party.
Oh, and Delaware primary voters didn't give a fig about Castle's electability. As far as they were concerned, he was a professional politician who was a RINO - Republican In Name Only - who could not be trusted. In the Senate, he might switch parties or vote with the Democrats to give Obama a bipartisan sheen. And, after 45 years in office, why not give someone else a chance?
The Tea Party has often been portrayed as a fringe group within the Republican party or a support network for Palin.
Dig deep and you will find that it is neither. There is, of course, a problem with the word "it". Although the Tea Party is referred to as a single entity, it is really a loose conglomeration of some national organisation and a plethora of groups formed in local neighbourhoods all over http://telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa - America . Standing for Taxed Enough Already, it took its inspiration from the 1773 Boston Tea Party protest against British colonialists.
A desire for small government, lower taxes and fidelity to the United States Constitution binds members together. There is a prevailing mood of anger towards Washington and a sense of having been conned. Mention the $700 billion (£448 billion) bailout, health care reform or cap and trade legislation and they will go into conniptions.
But beyond that, the Tea Party is a vast, teeming muddle of opinion and impulses. Many of its strong supporters don't attend public meetings. "The Tea Party is more an attitude than anything organised," one Southern conservative told me.
I used to think that the highest expression of American democracy was the Iowa caucuses. There, on a freezing evening in Des Moines, Iowa in January 2008 I watched ordinary citizens trudge through the snow to pick their favourite Democratic presidential candidate.
Obama was their man and the caucuses were his launch pad for the White House. Checking back, I described the scene in the school gym as "grassroots politics at its most vibrant". "

At the time of her campaign paying for part of her rent.
Where was said campaign headquarters located?
Mudslinging is often offset by thinking.
If she was running her campaign from her house, then logically, her campaign would help pay the costs of the headquarters...
Meals where discussions on campaign are discussed can also be paid for by these funds. As well as any "event" where her campaign is discussed.
Do you really think that golf outings aren't covered by campaign funds?...
This is as petty as it gets.

My point was that context matters.
Pulling a life experience from high school and saying "she is a witch"... Cause in high school 20 + years ago she said she hung out with witches... Therefore we can tie them to today, collelation = causation and all...
The media is attacking her non stop, she provides proof that the attacks are baseless, and yet, the stories keep coming... Ignoring her many responses.
That is typical of the left wing media, they attack and attack and attack, ignoring the responses.
I hope she does like Palin and just stops giving them interviews... They clearly care not about the facts, but only want to make her look bad.

I guess I'm just confused as to what constitutes an "attack?" I've seen articles about the controversy stirred up from the statements she's said and her moralistic anti-masturbation stance. I've also seen articles about her responses to those quotes and questions of if she would attempt to legislate morality. What exactly is an "attack," to you?

Now, we all know that I'm not a fan of Obama either, but why is it okay to hold things Obama wrote in his twenties against him, but it's not okay to hold what she wrote when she was younger against her.
All politicians are crooks, it's just a shame that a movement like the TEA Party isn't willing to be firm enough to stand it's ground against its own members.

She's unemployed, has no personal finances to speak of, and as such, decided to kill two birds with one stone by making her home her campaign HQ and call her dinners "meetings."
As loophole-tastic as that is, I think it shows that her interests were a bit more self centered than the average tea partier publicly states that they'd like to see.
I'm not really sure how much political wrangling takes place at the Alexandria Fish Market, but seeing as how O'Connell's was right across the street and I know the managers and chef there personally, I'm guessing not much. What is she doing in Alexandria when her campaign is taking place in Delaware anyway?

Oh wait, O'Donnell is a crook? Please enlighten me, as I thought this was all just the left trying to tear her down, with false allegations from "non" partisan sources... who are actually partisan, but, who checks anymore...
There is a big difference between someone like O'Donnell, who has been on tv for years, and pretty much anyone can see where her ideology sits. And Obama, the unknown guy who had one good speech...
He has kept his past a secret.
We are just finding out about his aunt... Who got all kinds of special treatments!
And now says she should be given American Citizenship.
One was running for President of the entire country, with no experience except teaching... The other is running for the congress...
Big difference.

I should clarify that I have no interest, concern or care at all about the "Witchcraft" quote.
Her personal choice in religion is her own choice, be it Wicca or evangelical Christian. I personally pick my candidates based on where they stand on certain issues, not which religious beliefs they carry.
However, her statements and stances on morality - masturbation, in this case - brings up the question to me if she will attempt to legislate morality when in office. I don't think I am alone in being concerned with this as a potential voter.
She has addressed that, too. Not sure I believe her answer, but she answered it very articulately.
I guess I fail to see where the vicious attack is.

So his time in the Illinois Senate and the U.S. Senate is a liberal cover-up conspiracy?

Logically, if a news article is concerned with tearing down a candidate not for their positions... but, for something in their past, while ignoring said positions...
That would be an "attack" article.
You want examples, google her right now.

Ignoring my point again, huh...
How about this...
Can you vote for O'Donnell?
Can I?
Could you have voted for Obama?
Could I?
Now do you see any difference?

How do you know what the article is "concerned with?"
If the story is "Some groups are concerned about statements that Candidate A has previously made," how is that an attack article?
Should the media simply pretend that some people don't take issue with what was said?
When Jimmy Carter accused people who disagreed with Obama of being racists, and the media reported that people were upset by that statement, was that coverage "Attack" coverage?
not for their positions... but, for something in their past, while ignoring said positions... |
So the articles about people questioning if Obama is a Muslim because he attended an Islamic elementary school as a child, those were attack articles?
Silly, yes, same as people concerned with her witchcraft statement, but I don't think it is an "attack."

What?
You said that he had "No experience" besides teaching.
I'm wondering where his two previous elected offices fit into that.

It is funny how you pick one piece out of the above post... And run with it, while ignoring the rest of what was said.
That is amazing.
Sure Obama was in the state legislature, and then congress... How many payroll checks did he write while doing that? How often did he have to have meetings on productivity, how much time did he spend on the assembly line, or out on deliveries? Or paying taxes...
If he had been a in charge of a state I would have felt differently, but he has proven with the past two years that he is ill equiped to run this country... His economic advisers are jumping ship to go back to "higher education" where they belong, as their attempts to "fix things" have been complete failure.
Plus, look at how corrupt/crime ridden Chicago is... Not an example of a "good government"...
Let's not even get into Obama's house which he got from a ton of help from a felon like Rezko...
Naa, let's focus on where a politician puts their campaign headquarters...

So, in your opinion, being a part of the legislative branch does not equate to experience?

I don't really care about the witchcraft. My original posting was to question her authenticity. It just cracked me up to hear on the non-masturbation nonsense as well as the thinking that condoms are evil. Even going so far as to rally agains the idea of distributing condoms in Africa to help with the spread of Aids and possibly population control. And then to be shown to have dabbled in Witchcraft. Seems off to me. She strikes me as someone who is desperate for attention and will swing whichever way is going to give it to her. There was also an article where two previous associates were quoted as saying she is not even truly conservative, but essentially jumping onto the Tea Party bandwagon as a means to an end.

On the witchcraft issue- has she, in fact, been weighed to see if she weighs the same as a duck?
