Christine O'Donnell wuvs the Bible (she supports creationism and submissive wives)

[alp227]

Via Dispatches from the Culture Wars, New York magazine reports that in March 1996, O'Donnell (then a spokeswoman for Concerned Women for America) said that she supported teaching creationism in public schools and doubted that evolution was science:

Well, as the senator from Tennessee mentioned, evolution is a theory and it's exactly that. There is not enough evidence, consistent evidence to make it as fact, and I say that because for theory to become a fact, it needs to consistently have the same results after it goes through a series of tests. The tests that they put — that they use to support evolution do not have consistent results. Now too many people are blindly accepting evolution as fact. But when you get down to the hard evidence, it's merely a theory.

And The Washington Independent has just reported that O'Donnell believes that wives should "graciously submit" to their husbands:

OK, this is not about merely a Baptist doctrine. This is a biblical doctrine. And the passage from the Bible the Baptist article is taken from talks about a submissive family. And yet, what the media seems to be reacting to is the word “submit” in the wives. But yet, even in, Mary, your introduction, you ignored or you left out where it says they graciously submit to a servant leader. And that is God’s design for the family. It is not about dominating and it is not about being a slave to your husband.

Seriously, I wonder how many voters in Delaware...even the most sheepish ones...think she'll make a sensible politician??? Maybe O'Donnell would appeal more in, let's say Mississippi?

Pun on stick a fork in it. It's done.
What a nut case. I doubt she will win with all the outrageous quotes she seems to make.

5. She's also a pathological liar.

I think she's one of the worst candidates Ive ever seen.

The only bad thing about her is she (when she loses in a landslide) may be a wake up call for conservatives and Tea Partiers that they have to be careful not to go too far right and that may help them nominate a more electable candidate for pres in 2012.
