Tea Party candidate: Questions about my personal, public finances insult voters
Her position on sex/masturbation alone makes it clear she is a lunatic. It certainly would be an issue for me as a voter. I don’t vote for lunatics.
MUSIC LEADS TO DANCING!!! AND DANCING LEADS TO SEX!!!
She may not be a multi-millionaire, and she may have earned more than the paltry $5,800 she reported to the IRS last year, but Christine O’Donnell is no dummy. Taking lessons from former Alaska governor Sarah Palin — whose endorsement made her a contender to begin with — a conservative office-seeker is employing the “attack the messenger” defense to combat concerns about her private and public financing.
“A Tea Party-backed candidate in today’s Delaware Republican primary for Senate said today that ads attacking her personal financial history are an insult to voters, and said recent polling showing her running strong against the candidate backed by GOP leaders suggests voters are ‘fighting back,’ David S. Morgan reports for Political Hotsheet at CBS News.
Huliq News notes, “After Delaware GOP Congressional candidate Christine O’Donnell was accused of not paying college debts and illegal campaign fundraising, she retorted on CBS’s ‘The Early Show,’ with ‘I’m an average hard-working American. I’m not a multi-millionaire like my opponent.’”
The Political Hotsheet article adds that “there’s been increased scrutiny of O’Donnell’s personal financial history, which her opponents say precludes her from effectively overseeing public finances, and complaints about alleged illegal campaign fundraising.”
But O’Donnell told CBS that she “absolutely” could be trusted with the office she is speaking, despite the myriad financial issues.
