Simple. She was seen as a threat to the establishment. A threat to Liberalism and their agenda. Alvin wasnt a threat. She had a chance to win. So they did their part, along with Hollywood, to make sure she didnt get elected. They left her opponent alone much like they largely let other Liberals get away with things, like Barney Frank, Boxer, Waters, ect.
The media and Hollywood will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to promote and push the liberal agenda while demonizing and putting down anyone who is a threat to it. We saw this with Palin and many others.
When you thought it couldnt get any worse than what they did to Palin in 2008, it has. And believe it or not, it will get much much worse. Hard to imagine the media and Hollywood being more despicable and corrupt, but it will happen.
That's what I love about the Republican party. Anybody that doesn't agree with them has been brainwashed by the media and Hollywood because they are too stupid to see it their way.
Here's a thought for you conservatives. Maybe people don't like O'Donnell because of her actions. Furthermore, if you don't act like an idiot or appear like one, the media has no opportunity to portray you as such.
Greene was ridiculed quite a bit by the media after the Primary. The Primary in SC was several months prior to the Delaware Primary.
Also one of the issues is how competitive each race would have been if Rawl and Castle won the Primaries instead. It doesn't matter who the Dems nominated in S.C, whether it be Rawl or Greene, they weren't going to win that race. In Delaware, Castle would have very likely won the seat, with Castle the seat was pretty much viewed as likely as a pick up for the GOP as Arkansas.
The Dems did not throw the seat away by nominating the idiot Greene, they weren't winning regardless. The GOP did throw the seat away by nominating O'Donnell, Castle would have very likely won.
How pathetic that we have deteriorated to a point where it is now considered "elitist" and "liberal" ... and somehow almost unAmerican....to actually expect a candidate for public office to know and understand the constitution of our country and to at least have some grasp on Supreme Court decisions and how they impact the life of the citizens. There was a time when it was expected that a high school student would be expected to have this knowledge. The dumbing down of America is rapidly becoming complete.
Too bad this thread got to page 2 before I got out my tin foil hat and had the opportunity to post a reply. Please warn me next time before started another thread like this.
