Christine O’Donnell: The GOP’s Anti-Wanking Candidate
Tonight, with the nomination of Christine O’Donnell, America is finally starting to get serious about confronting the awful scourge of self-abuse.

So, my Who-Pictures of Lily reference aside, how does O’Donnell plan to stop people from wanking? It reminds me of some kid I grew up with who proposed criminalizing homosexuality. I was like dude are you going to have a sex police that goes around snooping in people’s homes to make sure they’re not having gay sex.

That’s between 10% and 20% of how many people will vote in the general election in Delaware.
It’s also just a couple of percent of the total population of Delaware.

That such flawed candidate as O’Donnell could beat professional pol Castle should send a message to the political class. Many voters are fed-up with business as usual, they’re fed-up at insane deficits, they’re fed-up with Washington’s micromanagement. They want government that officials who respect the Constitution, as opposed to considering it a “flaw” to be circumvented. They’re fed-up with nonsense like InJustice Breyer’s view that it’s legal to burn the flag, but not the Koran. Above all, they’re fed-up with elitists who hold them in contempt. The problem is an establishment that can’t do any better than a Castle or Obama or Rangel.

I was going to say, “As fucked as we are now”, but somehow that doesn’t sound quite right.
As I’ve mentioned in other threads, it’s one thing to get the primary nod, another to win the general election, and yet another to get any of your lunatic ideas past the guy or gal you called a RINO when he/she is the committee chairman or senior minority member.
The DC insiders are masters of procedure. We can bitch about how good ideas get bottled up in committee, but remember that bad ideas can be blocked there, too.

His exact words;
“The Buckley Rule is, ostensibly, that you vote for the most electable conservative option against a Democrat in November. You vote for the Republican, slash, conservative who can win. To me, this requires clairvoyance, as is being currently applied in the Mike Castle-Christine O’Donnell race in Delaware, to use an example. The polling data is that Castle will win big and O’Donnell will lose big. If she gets the Republican nomination today, if she wins the election she’ll lose big. The polls say she’ll lose by 25 points; that Castle will win by 20 points. But who knows this? The election’s a long time off. In a year like this, it seems to me that Americanism versus socialism can make up 25 points. Why the hell not try to? Is what I don’t understand. Why not try to make up the 25 points?”

This is why the Weekly Standard has been attacking this woman with a vengeance unheard of by Republicans. I guess the Wilsonian crowd forgot Reagan’s 11’th commandment.

Ah, here is the money quote from Rush on the matter;
Well, it’s time, ladies and gentlemen, for the Limbaugh Rule to supplant and replace the Buckley Rule, because the Buckley Rule requires clairvoyance. The Buckley Rule requires people who can’t possibly know the outcome of anything in the middle of September to support or not support somebody based on what they think’s going to happen in early November. Christine O’Donnell can’t win, she’s 25 points down. Can’t win? If a constitutional conservative can’t win in this climate coming down from 25 points, we need to find that out, find out where we are. Why not go for it? The stakes dictate it, do they not? Here’s the Limbaugh Rule: In an election year when voters are fed up with liberalism and socialism, when voters are clearly frightened of where the hell the country is headed, vote for the most conservative Republican in the primary, period.

A bunch of down-dings, I stand corrected. The voters of true-blue Delaware aren’t mad as hell. O’Donnell won because of her own inherent brilliance, or she used the Jedi Mind Trick.
Or one can believe the worst, I guess. Republicans have just gone insane. Or, if it comes down to it, most Americans aren’t socialists/statists at heart. They’re being offered packaged deals by both parties. The Dems say, “you can have personal freedom, but we’ll trash the economy.” The GOP says, “you can have a modicum of economic freedom, but we’ll impose some religious beliefs.” Either way, the American people loss.

So, while this woman might raise a few eyebrows — I’ll take that over RINO, Neo-Cons any day of the week.Hopefully this won’t get in trouble here.
You know we have locally been having this debate locally with Sen. Blanche Lincoln and Rep. Boozeman.
Which is better as a Democrat…voting for Blanche and making sure her seat (and her awesome powerful Chairmanship) stays in the D column or voting for the Green Party candidate whom you actually agree with and just living with a weak Republican Freshman Senator?

People have been calling Bush a RINO for years. I think it all started when he refused to nuke the Middle East into a Wal-Mart parking lot.
And when he started inviting Muslims into the White House after 9/11. Couple of other things too. The Paleocons of course were always against invading Iraq.

A bunch of down-dings, I stand corrected. The voters of true-blue Delaware aren’t mad as hell. O’Donnell won because of her own inherent brilliance, or she used the Jedi Mind Trick.
Or one can believe the worst, I guess. Republicans have just gone insane. Or, if it comes down to it, most Americans aren’t socialists/statists at heart. They’re being offered packaged deals by both parties. The Dems say, “you can have personal freedom, but we’ll trash the economy.” The GOP says, “you can have a modicum of economic freedom, but we’ll impose some religious beliefs.” Either way, the American people loss.

This is why the Weekly Standard has been attacking this woman with a vengeance unheard of by Republicans. I guess the Wilsonian crowd forgot Reagan’s 11’th commandment.

My favorite part was wondering what the hell a wife is for if a guy can just pleasure himself.
I mean really how many guys would turn down sex with their wives saying “that’s ok honey I’m just gonna go wank off”.This is the problem with people who have never had sex talking about sex.
Same pattern as ‘if we allow people to be gay, no one will be straight, and women won’t be able to get married’. The idea that heterosexual couples are actually attracted to one another, and want to have sex without being coerced by society seems like a hard sell for some of these folks.

you shouldn’t listen to the hype. This new crop wants to keep taxes from going up, and bring spending down. That’s where the momentum comes from. It’s never been more true than in this election.

Out of all the crazy right wingers I think I am more worried about Paul getting elected. He doesn’t have that crazy look on his face like Bachman or Angle, and he has his fathers name.
The most scariest thing about this group of wing nuts is that allot of politicians say what they have to, to get elected. These people seem to really believe this poop.

I consider myself a social conservative - but by that, I sure don’t mean “religion in our lives”.
I mean the government OUT of our lives.
Same way I want the government OUT of my pocketbook.I must have gotten confused on the terms at some point, because the current crop sure does seem to be exactly what you say - bent on inflicting religion into our lives. And it ain’t my religion that’s being inflicted.
Gotcha. I’ve read some doom and gloom stuff about these people - who I categorize into Dominionists. Who else would be vocally against masturbation???
C-Street et al. The US of A has it’s own extremists, and those I’m most concerned with.

Liberals are going overboard on the melodrama. No matter what happens in November, even if the GOP takes over the house and the senate, life will continue. January will not find separate water fountains for blacks, the Fed will not be shut down, and fornication will not be a federal offense.
That’s all true, much as it is true that Obama’s coming to office has not led to FEMA camps, socialized industry and the end of private property.
However, some of these folks are quite bad news, by my lights, and I’m rather interested in seeing them not fuck things up any worse than they already are. If that’s melodrama, so be it.

Especially when you accuse people of looking for reasons to hate conservatives. Then it’s oddly defensive and hostile.
Politicians really do things. There are actual consequences. Because Texas elects idiots like this, we have textbooks that are distorting history. There are actual, real consequences— not FEMA camps and not deporting all Muslims, but real, bad consequences nontheless— to electing irresponsible maniacs.

cliffster may be feeling a small bit of the same thing I’m feeling.
Which is this:
People here are adults, and if someone does something ban-worthy, they know it, full well, in advance - through warnings, time-outs, whatever.
But no sooner is someone banned, than somebody (not you) begins comparing other more conservative posters to the banned one (or to stalkers or whatever).
So, I dunno. I find it gets on my nerves.

re: #29 WMKaffir
That such flawed candidate as O’Donnell could beat professional pol Castle should send a message to the political class. Many voters are fed-up with business as usual, they’re fed-up at insane deficits, they’re fed-up with Washington’s micromanagement. They want government that officials who respect the Constitution, as opposed to considering it a “flaw” to be circumvented. They’re fed-up with nonsense like InJustice Breyer’s view that it’s legal to burn the flag, but not the Koran. Above all, they’re fed-up with elitists who hold them in contempt. The problem is an establishment that can’t do any better than a Castle or Obama or Rangel.
Or it should send a message that primary elections offer up a disproportional representation of those voters who feel the most strongly combined with the fact that only one part is allowed to vote in each election frequently lead to the winner being a fringe candidate that has no chance in the general election.
This kind of thing isn’t exactly unheard of….

I’m saying that people truly feared Obama (and many still do!) in a way that’s just unnecessary, given our nation and our government and the way our government is split (federal, state, county/parish, city, etc).

I’m just ‘splainin’ what part of the issue is, what you saw as “hostility” could be that somebody just got on his last nerve.
The minute someone is banned, someone new is the “target”, it seems, and starts getting compared to the recent bannee, who is responsible for his or her own actions, I have no sympathy. But it’s wrong, nonetheless, and wrong regardless of what conversation you’re having with whoever.
