BTW if we are going to trash O'Donnell there is plenty of ammo outside of her sex life

[LynneSin]

To be honest, it's one of the things that actually appeal to the nut jobs that vote for her because she's like some sort of puritan saint. If she's trashed on her values, lack of sex life and opposition to masterbastion it makes us look like that a woman can't make a decision for her body without being criticize for others.

You want to trash O'Donnell she's got plenty of other topics to go with.

For starters how about the fact that this woman called herself a college graduate from Farleigh-Dickenson even though she never got her diploma until this year. When she graduated 20 years ago she was a few credits short of a diploma but they allowed her to walk at the ceremony. That's not uncommon for folks a few credits show - usually they make it up in the summer session and done. Instead she just didn't bothered but had no problem talking about how she graduated from FDU. She was outed this past year about that and finally finished her degree. BTW, O'Donnell's claims as to why FDU never gave her a diploma - she claims it's because she had outstanding student loans, which doesn't make sense since millions of students graduate from college every year mired with student loans.

O'Donnell also claimed she was going for her Masters at Princeton, which is ironic because first don't you need an undergraduate degree? Turns out Princeton never had any knowledge of her possibly attending her school.

O'Donnell has had serious campaign funds issuse including failure to file reports with the FEC AND scamming campaign donors by using her home address as her campaign HQ. She does that so she can use campaign funds to pay for her regular cost-of-living bills. Not only is her rent covered by funds donated by supporters but so is her Cable, Telephone and electric. All the while she lives in a really nice $2000 rental in Hockesson that she at one time shared with a man. She did own a house at one time but that was very close to be foreclosed on until a campaign staffer bought the house right before the foreclosure happened.

Did you know about the discrimination lawsuit that O'Donnell filed against The Weekly Standard (which btw they don't like her one bit either). http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/citing-mental-anguish-christine-odonnell-sought-69-million-gender-discrimination-lawsuit-again

BTW, O'Donnell made claims that Castle supporters burgularized her home in 2008 even though no police report was ever filed. (see same article from WeeklyStandard).

This is a woman who has never held any sort of real job other than some freelance conservative stuff and last year made only $6000. She is a liar and a bad one too. THAT'S what we can slam her on!

1. I mentioned something like this on another thread and it's clarified my thinking. I'm fine trashing

her for wanting all of us to be abstinent until our heterosexual church wedding nights. I object to trashing her because she has supposedly been celibate and asexual her whole life.

And yes, there's TONS of other stuff to slam her on. That burglary story is BIZARRE!

[mrcheerful]

2. She has a sex life?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. People who are opposed to masturbation are unfit for office.

It's not about her sex life, it's about her stupid, crazy opinion about everybody elses.

[LynneSin]

13. I don't care if she poured cement into her vagina to permanent shut down production...

that's her choice.

I do care that she wants to make choices for other people in regards to their sex life, whom they marry and what they do with their bodies. But DC is filled with philandering married men who think the same exact way she does.

[krabigirl]

22. I agree.

[tularetom]

4. Hey, this is America. Nothing is more fun than ridiculing someone's sex life

Although in O'Donnell's case, ridiculing her mental stability might run a pretty close second.

[golddigger]

5. I don't trust anyone who doesn't masturbate.

[seabeyond]

6. we dont get to talk masturbation and put her on vibration machines for the next couple months

good

[blondeatlast]

7. So true--layers upon layers upon layers, just like her heroine. nt

[blondeatlast]

8. How many of us are still struggling with student debt? Not Ms. O'Donnell--she defaulted.

9. Commenting on the sex topic is a trap.

Weather most people do or don't is not the issue, if people comment on her, people attach the embarrassment to the person mentioning it.

Actually Rachel's shyness on the topic, then playing the clip without comment was pitch perfect, probably also because she was honest about her feelings on discussing such topics.

It can easily be over commented on, and can scare away some types of people. Most people have a really stuffed macro on that topic. There are many with many years of thoughts on that topic that can create automatic feelings that make them feel uncomfortable.

If people make jokes about her, the stored info in those macros will make many feel bad, then they will associate that with the person making the joke.

Best to not over play those comments.

Also they are 14 years old comments, so they are not as relevant as other topics.

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. We should have at least one day to comment on its weirdness before consigning it

to the unimportant.

:-)

[blondeatlast]

16. It's like popcorn--done right, it's not very harmful and deeply satisfying.

I say let us delight in ALL of what's so very wrong about her.

[emulatorloo]

11. Lots and Lots to talk about.

[Mimosa]

12. Will Kristol and krewe bring her down?

The Weakly Standard article is something else. Conservatives don't like people who sue for discrimination. ;)

[bluethruandthru]

14. What has she done for 20 years?

I can't seem to find any kind of resume on her! Has she worked anywhere? Bob's Burger Bar? Something? How has she survived? Does her family have money?

[LynneSin]

15. Outside of some religious lobby groups and the Weekly Standard - no idea

She use to own a house right around the corner from where I bought my house (ironically our neighborhood was plastered with Chris Coons signs - we're very blue here). I'm not sure if she bought that house or inherited it from family, which is not uncommon in my neighborhood. But it wasn't a very expensive house. A 3 bedroom home on 5th street is a block away from some bad neighborhoods and the lower you go the lower the value. I'm guessing her house was valued around $125-$150k in price (I'm further north by 5-6 blocks and off the main strip).

I'm guessing she was hoping to be the next Ann Coulter but I think the Weekly Standard found even they won't go that far to the right of lunancy. But she was this Pretty Catholic girl that was good for a few minutes on Faux News or some other screed show.. BTW she once claimed that Ben Affleck made a pass at her. I am guessing a man who dated women like Jennifer Lopez, Gywneth Paltrow and Jennifer Garner probably doesn't need to make a pass at an uber conservative like O'Donnell.

17. In hardball politics, everything is on the table.

You just have surrogates do the dirty stuff for you.

[blondeatlast]

18. What's so very troubling is...

I would never consider running for public office--and I'm a pretty straight arrow, but I know that there are parts of my private life that would be easily discoverable and embarrassing to me and my family. Nothing criminal or even of much concern--but I want to keep it private.

Sh'es a veritable Wal-Mart of :wtf:. Mismanaged campaign funds, shoddy personal financial management, utter stupidity uttered in front of thousands and easily discoverable on the intertubes--and she has the audacity to run. I find that thought downright frigtening.

She's definitely worthy of amusement and I will happilyy indulge like I would popcorn--but something just isn't right about this--and I think the "something" goes way beyond Delaware.

[Javaman]

19. Frankly, I just think she's certifiable.

and she's just sane enough to get a pass from the mouth breathers for her batshit crazy rantings.

[Gin]

20. isn't it against the law to use your campaign funds for personal

expenses? I want to watch her in a debate.

[Javaman]

26. There are six weeks to go. So much more, about this half-wit, will come out. nt

[felix_numinous]

21. A classic true believer

with control issues (giving oneself up to pleasure involves trust and letting go). Their lives are often out of control, so a religion that turns personal will over to a 'higher power' makes sense to them--yet too often that 'higher power' ends up being another person's ego. These people are perfect candidates for programming....just saying.

[uncommon]

23. She's a woman, therefore her sex life, or lack thereof, is the most

important thing about her. Duh.

:sarcasm:

[Scout]

25. yup n/t

[Duer 157099]

24. Yeah. Except all those things you mention are Republican "values"

Lying, stealing, cheating, all SOP for them. They admire it. They aspire to it. They LOVE when one of their own gets away with it.
