It is hypocrtical to take it to these level of hysteria considering the politicians they have given a pass to.
It was a point worth noting I believe.
I understand what you are getting at and personally I could care less what she did in her youth as lord knows most of us have done something incredibly stupid in our lives. Yet playing partisan gotcha with examples would take up so much hard drive space this site would crash.

Is it hypocritical that some will bash her and give a pass to one of their own, sure. Have not Republicans and Democrats both resorted to this same old tired foolish game, you betcha. Have people and will people continue to point out where one is hypocritical while remaining silent when their team does the same thing, you betcha. Get used to it, it is politics in America today, gotcha!

What the heck?
Oh, is THAT what the problem with conservatives is? Thanks for the tip! lol!

I've never seen "Hustler" so I can't really follow what you mean by this criteria for republican female candidates lol!

And what would you say is the problem with liberals?

Would you say that a female candidate for liberals must be well, let's face it, unattractive in the same vein as Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters? I'd really just be interested in your take on this.

Yes, they do, but her problem is those in the middle do not, which is why she is going to get trounced in November. Only appealing to the far right might work in some states, it doesn't work in Delaware.

Again, I don't think anyone on the democratic side could care less if she calls herself a witch or not. The radical conservative Christian side of the republican party (the side that dominates it today) HAS made strong public stands against witchcraft--remember Sarah Palin's Assembly of God church, and her pastor's praying over her to protect her from "the spirit of witchcraft?" You know--Sarah not reading the background info given to her while she was trying to get ready for a vice presidential debate because she spent the time reading texts from "prayer warriers" who were protecting her from evil? Sarah Palin has a very good shot at being your next presidential candidate. This is not a case of the democrats saying "gotcha" and throwing dirt over something a candidate did in a harmless high school phase. It's over the complete hypocrisy of the Christian right--based on their standards and beliefs (which they hold to be morally superior to the rest of us), they should be outraged by this woman, but because she's a republican, they suddenly don't think witchcraft is such a big deal. That's why it's an issue.

My favorite line by her was "if he's doing that, why am I there?"

Make yourself useful

Chris Coons has a new website up. Check it out!

Haha nice

In her new television ad, Christine O’Donnell says she is you. But unless you think the retirement age for Social Security should be raised, want to further de-regulate Wall Street, are against a woman’s right to choose, think public schools should teach Creationism, and think homosexuality is an "identity disorder,"
she is not you.

By the time she wakes up and finds out it is the billionaires who hate everybody who are funding her it will be just like the coven she was a groupie in. heres the real thing. her squirrley little chat and her crooked smile divulge who is is.....not her personality but deep down. she is a mean cheat and like her benefactor Ms.Lizard Brain just wants to be loved.....she is dangerous, smug and funded...

Lets all sit here and pretend we havent done anything as a teenager that we regret. In the grand scheme of things this should be acceptable considering how much the left dislikes GOD

Clearly she, or her handlers, thought it serious enough for her to attempt to do some damage control, hence the video. Personally, I was amused by this for about a minute when it first broke, and haven't thought about it since. I do find it interesting, however, how many of the same people who continue to go on about the President's alleged 'transgressions' as a youth, are the loudest proponents of turning the other cheek now. Do we really need to go through the list of R's who have cheated on their wives, or tapped three times in a men's room... who continue to get a pass from the right?
It is this continued hypocrisy that grates, really couldn't care less if she was or is a Satanist. Freedom of religion and all that.
Fudging the college record, well, that's something else entirely.
But hey, the guy who lied about his Viet Nam record is leading in CT. All I can say is pragmatism at its finest.
