Christine O'Donnell & Qualified To Be Senator

She is a fortysomething women with a number of different experiences and people are saying she isn't qualified to be Senator.
Did people say the same thing when a twentysomething Ted Kennedy ran for Senate with his only qualification his family?
How about Joe Biden who was a Senator before he had done anything? Or best example, Al Franken, whose career consisted of a comedy show and a failed radio commentator.

Simple they hold higher standards for Republicans. Democrats will elect comedians, and community organizors to run the country. She is still more qualified than Obama ever was and they elected him President.

You mean the "community organizer" that was also a Constitutional law professor, and then a U.S. Senator?... Yeah, we elected him... And damned proud of it too.

He hasn't started any unnecessary wars--just cleaned up after the last bozo's mess.

One of the first people to question O'Donnell's qualifications was Karl Rove. He said she was "unelectable."

Actually Ted Kennedy was 30 when he ran for the Senate and was an assistant district attorney.

The same people who elected Franken to the senate also elected a WWF fighter as governor (Jesse Ventura). Need I say more about Minnesota voters?

Obama was a U.S. Senator when he ran for president. O'Donnell is hardly "more qualified than Obama ever was."

"O'Donnell first became involved in politics in 1991 when she worked the polls for the College Republicans. She was a youth leader for the Bush-Quayle campaign and attended the 1992 Republican National Convention. The following year she worked for three months in Washington D.C for the anti-pornography organization, Enough is Enough."

Sounds like she was (gasp) a community organizer.

The chair of the state Republican Party, Tom Ross, said, "She’s a candidate who runs for office that unfortunately lives off the proceeds."

Her financial practices were criticized by former campaign staffers Kristin Murray and David Keegan, with Murray charging that during her 2008 campaign, O'Donnell used campaign funds "for rent and personal expenses, while leaving her workers unpaid and piling up thousands in debt."

My problem with her is, if she can't even handle her own personal finances and campaign paperwork (the Federal Elections Commission has cited her 8 times for failing to get her campaign paperwork in on time) how can she be trusted to handle government finances?

She's got an "R" after her name and can is a tea party darling. That's all the right needs to vote for her.

O'Donnell questions separation of church, state
'You're telling me that's in the First Amendment?' asks Senate candidate

WILMINGTON, Del. — Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell of Delaware on Tuesday questioned whether the U.S. Constitution calls for a separation of church and state, appearing to disagree or not know that the First Amendment bars the government from establishing religion.

Coons said private and parochial schools are free to teach creationism but that "religious doctrine doesn't belong in our public schools."

"Where in the Constitution is the separation of church and state?" O'Donnell asked him. When Coons responded that the First Amendment bars Congress from making laws respecting the establishment of religion, O'Donnell asked: "You're telling me that's in the First Amendment?"

Her comments, in a debate aired on radio station WDEL, generated a buzz in the audience.

"You actually audibly heard the crowd gasp," said Widener University political scientist Wesley Leckrone, adding that he thought it raised questions about O'Donnell's grasp of the Constitution.

You can't make this stuff up... As long as the nut-jobs have an (R) after their name the sheeple will follow.

This Delaware Senate seat is a great example of a game of chicken. Originally Joe Biden's son was going to run for the seat, but he heard Castle was going to run against him and believed he would lose so he neglected to run so Coons got the nomination instead and Castle lost the nomination, so now Beau Biden is kicking himself for standing down. Young Biden, a war veteran with a legacy would have crushed O'Donnel versus the lefty Coons who is only 10 points ahead of the former witch.

I think her stance on masterbation is going to be a problem being in the senate...

Is that because they are all jackoffs?
