Tea Party Candidates help Dems

Here is some leftist propaganda from the liberal main stream press.:hippy:

Witchcraft? Rent money? Christine O'Donnell's big problem: she's behind. - CSMonitor.com

Washington
Christine Oâ??Donnellâ??s biggest problem right now has nothing to do with an old TV clip in which she admits dabbling in witchcraft. Nor is it related to the complaint filed by a watchdog group with the Federal Election Commission on Monday which alleges that she used $20,000 in campaign funds to pay rent and other personal expenses.

No, her biggest current problem may be that if the election were today, she would lose. After all the hoopla over her stunning upset in Delawareâ??s GOP Senate primary, and all the free publicity she got, and all the money thatâ??s pouring into her campaign, she remains 15 points behind Democratic opponent Chris Coons, according to a just-released Fox News poll.

Thatâ??s kind of a wake-up call for her campaign, isnâ??t it? And if you dig down into the results of the survey (which was conducted right after the primary, in case youâ??re wondering) the news for Ms. Oâ??Donnell does not get better.

Fully 60 percent of respondents said they did not believe Oâ??Donnell is qualified to be a US Senator, while 60 percent said that opponent Coons is qualified.

And hereâ??s the real burn: Mike Castle, the guy Oâ??Donnell sent packing in the primary, appears to be the person the Delaware electorate as a whole actually wants. Heâ??s 15 points ahead of Coons in the Fox poll, at 48 percent to 33 percent.

If there is any good news here, it is that the Delaware electorate does seem receptive to a "tea party" message, if not a tea party-backed candidate (so far). Fully 53 percent said they would prefer a smaller government that provides fewer services.

And weâ??ll note right here that the Fox poll was conducted via automated calling, a method that some pollsters feel is not as accurate as polls conducted by human operators. So it could be wrong.

And there is still time. A month and a half before the primary, Oâ??Donnell was probably pretty far behind, too, and look what happened there.

Plus, GOP troops are pouring into Delaware to help the Oâ??Donnell campaign. Her media work is now being handled by a public relations firm run by longtime Republican operative Craig Shirley. Tom Sullivan, a consultant with ties to former GOP congressman Dick Armey, is helping out as an unpaid adviser.

The campaign has attracted more than $2 million in donations since last Tuesday, Oâ??Donnell aides say.

As to the ethics complaint filed by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Oâ??Donnell herself refutes it.

â??The momentum surrounding this campaign is obvious. Thatâ??s why theyâ??re creating baseless accusations to try to stop it,â?� she told reporters Monday night

ooouhhh oooouhhw Witchy Woman . . :rastasmoke: you guys read my mind i was going to leave a post this morning warning you guys to be careful, hate for someone to get cursed with a spell or something. :D

but seriously, i'm not a fan of either party but you gotta love Bill Mahr for saving this until AFTER she got the repub nomination. :rastasmoke: f'n classic!! i love when this kinda shit happens to either party. :jointsmile:

What I find amazing is there is not one life long native citizen of the state of Delaware that runs for national office. They are all out of staters. Kind of make you wonder... :twocents:

Angle is now BEATING Dufus Harry Reid.....Feingolds losing double digits in Wisconsin.....Cuomo is going down in NY .....Christ and Meeks are gonna lose Florida by double digits.....Toomey is taking Pennsylvania...the Dem majorities will be GONE.

O'Donnels resume looks like half of The Obama Administrations cabinet picks.....and the point was to REMOVE fake conservatives....like Mike Castle who VOTED over and over again to support Obama's policies. Now....the Democrats have totally lost control of the narrative surrounding laughable Obamacare....their failed "Dream Act" of backdoor amnesty to make up all the independent votes they have lost, and the "Dont ask dont tell policy". Obama cant even fill a COLLEGE auditorium anymore. And when he does he gets heckled.

Why would I leave if O'Donnel loses? Sorry, i will never leave because some bleeding heart doesn't like my OPINIONS.....i suggest you get over it pretty quick.I thought progressives were open and accepting of all peoples and didnt discriminate? Until they start losing anyway lol.:thumbsup: Im just happy an establishment FRAUD like Castle is gone forever. Deuce's homie.....dont let the door hit ya on the way out.

Once Pelosi and Steny are gone.....then its 2012 and 2014 time. Its not just gonna subside after the midterms....its gonna crank up. And there is nothing.......NOTHING on the left that can even come cose to competing with the tea party movement....including the PAID SEIU union protesters the democrats have to bus in to events LMAO......OTHERWISE KNOWN AS ASTROTURF. The dems are running from the Obama agenda now......and its hilarious.....after hearing for a year about the "new liberal majority"........bwahahahaha.

Best to be the teabagger than the teabagee's eh? Gargle gargle Obama followers.

Let us see the power of the democratic party in 10/30/10 in washington, we will see people that like to reason instead of accepting ingnorance like the fake teabagers that have no purpose but to listen to Palin.

Sarah Palin? Ummmmmmmmmmmm, sorry, there is no "Leader" of the tea party movement......Sarah Palin is a private citizen with a powerful voice....that the White House themselves have to respond to when she speaks. Leader.......dont think so. Nor will there be some "leader" appointed.....do you really think they are that stupid still???? Hey Mainstream Media and DNC.....here's your new lightning rod to make up stories of racism and swastikas. Sorry, aint gonna happen from a strictly strategic standpoint.

Back to subject......if Mrs. O'Donnel is sooooooo un-electable and into withcraft (funny stuff).....why is the Democratic National Committee (DNC) spending MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of $$$$$ out of their coffers in Delaware now? I believe thats Bidens homestate? Perhaps FEAR?:)

I knew IB wouldn't back his big talk about Reid up with action.
If you can't take the heat keep the teabag out of the hot water.

For the record I, too, need to weigh in on the subject of activist moderating. I understand the need to crack knuckles once in a while; it helps keep the discourse from deteriorating. I have benefited in this regard and I am more careful about what I post as a result. But like others here, I have also seen some actions that draws motive into question.

Most recently a poster here made light of PTSD. It was a one liner and was likely not very well thought out by the poster. The comment was not directed at anyone in particular. Rather, it was a generalized statement suggesting that some political views expressed on these boards may be the results of PTSD. He then went on to state that he didn't believe PTSD to be a real condition. I pointed out that country, flag, and vets were dishonored by this post and I suggested that other vets were also likely to disagree with his position.

This exchange did not involve a personal attack or insult. But it did make the poster look bad. Very bad. And by way of activist moderating the two posts were gone the next day. I did not receive a warning or any explanation for the removal of my post. As someone who has battled PTSD I would like to have heard a retraction and an apology from the poster in question. Further, others readers could have learned something about a badly misunderstood and misrepresented condition from the ignorance expressed by this poster. But that was not allowed to happen. It sure looked like protection to me.

This is one of a number of similar instances that do not fit the stated goals of the moderator. I have no problem being told to tone down the personal attacks. I understand that. But there appears to be pattern of deleted posts that do not fit that category. Let the chips fall where they may.

Two posts? There were four posts in that delightfully little piss fest that I deleted without warnings to anyone. Now I have two options regarding this sort of thing when personal attacks occur here. Since EVERYONE that posts in this area knows the rules I guess I could hand out infractions that would DEFINITELY bring a ban or just delete all comments/posts and forget it ever happened. Ya know, this sort of deletion moderating has saved peoples asses in more than one occasion in this forum and in others.

My thoughts behind the deletions is this; maybe IF they notice that personal attacks/piss fests will NOT be left up then why waste the time to post them? Now if people would rather that I hand out infractions with possible bans then fine, but I don't think that that option would win out if there was a poll since these do involve bans also.

It has been implied that my own personal political beliefs makes me lean in a one direction moderation line in here. My support is for this country, not the Bloods(Republicans) nor the Crypts(Democrats). Like gangs, both parties, in my opinion, will fuck you over without blinking an eye. It's time for a third party to emerge that isn't full of douche bag lawyers.

This kind of relates to the thread title; in its beginning the Tea Party looked to have promise with the ideals that they were projecting but now it's become a joke. The ONLY reason that Sarah Palin changed party lines is because she knows that the Republican format isn't popular and she has big time aspirations to be the first woman president. Likewise, I find it laughable when these others that do belong to the two major gangs state on how they relate to the tea party more than the other candidate.

Enough of the political rant, if you'd rather I'd hand out infractions for each piss fest/personal attack on this site I'd suggest that you set up a poll where everyone can vote. But once again I'll give a heads up! IF I have to waste my time giving infractions for numorous posts expect that there will be bans.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
