Is that so hard to accept?<br /><br />She believes in our Constitution. Is that so hard to accept?<br /><br />She believes in our right to assemble. Is that so hard to accept?<br /><br />There is only one drawback to her I see. It's her inexperience dealing with a Left Political Machine she had to deal with, without help from the Republican Party.<br /><br />I saw in her principals and backbone. These are two things, on our side, I've seen missing in my state in the last few elections.Woodsterman (Odie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00423574390748358762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-27838866814443946752011-02-09T11:12:06.795-05:002011-02-09T11:12:06.795-05:00The whole nation is fortunate she didn't win. ...The whole nation is fortunate she didn't win. The same goes for Sharon Angle.<br /><br />When you look at some of the other "TEA Party victories" (they didn't run particular candidates, per se), whatever their peculiar positions, they do seem like competent, educated people. I'm no fan of Rand Paul, but he's obviously not an idiot, even if I believe some of his positions seem more than a little crazy to me. Scott Brown is no fool, and on top of that he shows that the TEA Party is not nearly as ideologically zealous as some would describe. They do want to win elections.<br /><br />What was odd about O'Donnell and Angle was <em>where</em> they were nominated. It shows the dynamic geographic differences in the movement.<br /><br />It seemed to me that Delaware and Nevada were not good places to run such candidates. Angle and O'Donnell could have won in places like Tennessee or Kentucky. But Delaware and Nevada have very different demographics than the Deep Red states of the South. In their cases, the TEA Party pushed candidates who were simply unrealistic for their states (granted, Angle came close, but that's because Reid was so terribly unpopular even among the Center and Left). <br /><br />The recent CNN poll showing Republicans were willing to concede some ideological purity for the sake of victory shows the lesson has been learned - don't run nutty candidates, just nutty positions. ;)<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-8359704293466068542011-02-09T09:44:21.149-05:002011-02-09T09:44:21.149-05:00>>Sounding an awful a lot like a Glenn Beck ...>>Sounding an awful a lot like a Glenn Beck conspiracy theory to me. What's your thoughts?<br /><br />Indeed it does. It sounds like she is trying to capitalize or associate herself with Beck and his seemingly endless attacks on Soros. (Not unwarranted attacks. Soros is a madman. And he has enough money at his disposal to make things happen. Bad things.)<br /><br />I think Fuzzy Slippers is correct, as well. Eventually this woman will fade into obscurity and be nothing more than the punchline of a joke. If VH-! were to ever have a "Where Are They Now?" show, but have it focus on political personas, Christine would be one of their first subjects.<br /><br />This is an embarrassment to The TEA Party.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-72222008352856194802011-02-09T04:38:34.555-05:002011-02-09T04:38:34.555-05:00Les,

If you ask me, Delaware did not get the lesser of two evils if that is to be the gauge.<br /><br />Remember it is thus far still a free country and proof of this is Ron Paul and to be fair Dennis Kunsinich.<br /><br />Another thought might be to revisit campaign speeches from the last election of a member of the opposite gender, different state, different race (literally) and a winner who goes by the name Allen West and see if the two don't actually agree.<br /><br />Just food for thought.Christopher - Conservative Perspectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102651466203156040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-23281617932708442992011-02-09T00:37:26.848-05:002011-02-09T00:37:26.848-05:00Meh.
