O'Connell ousts RINO Castle in Delaware Repub primary

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Senate race. Big upset. O'Donnell is a limited govt. TeaPartier. Good luck in Nov., girl!

[Crucifax Autumn]

Unfortunately it doesn't mean much since she will lose by double digits.

This should be quite a quandary for you. How many times on this board have you said that voting 3rd party/Libertarian is tantamount to handing the election to the Democrats?

Well, this is the EXACT same situation. O'Connell's win almost virtually guarantees a Democrat victory in November whereas Castle had a very very good shot at taking the seat for the GOP which pretty much has to be won for the GOP to have a shot at retaking the Senate.

Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that she won, but I couldn't give two flying s***s about the GOP -- I'd rather support a principled conservative and lose an election than support someone I don't believe in. The problem is, you've made it clear many many times you believe the opposite....that even bad Republicans are preferable to Democrats.

You, sir, are inconsistent.

[bigjim1216]

Unfortunately it doesn't mean much since she will lose by double digits.

Well, "they" said she couldn't win the primary either, but Delaware is not a big state and with the way most Americans are thinking right now, nothing will surprise me. I do recall, "they" saying Brown had no chance to take the Kenndy seat in Mass also. The greatest thing Obama, Pelosi, and Reied have accomplished is to show the American people the true liberal agenda. I wouldn't count O'Connell out quite yet.

[landrun]

Does it matter if she loses and Castle would have won? If you have a liberal democrat voting or a liberal republican voting to increase the deficit etc... who cares. Bad policy is bad policy no matter the label worn by the people who supported it.

With her, at least you have a *chance* to get a conservative up there.

I'd rather have a democrat in Washington than a liberal republican. At least that way the liberal party gets the blame for their own stupidity. Look at the Bush admin. They piled on the debt and now the Democrats want to argue that the Republicans are just like them. And when you have liberal republicans up there, they are!

[royalfan5]

She's the anti-masturbation candidate right? I don't think I could support that.

[Jello Biafra]

hmmm for some reason, i was thinking oconnels threw rhino out saturday.....

[OklahomaTuba]

With her, at least you have a *chance* to get a conservative up there.Yup.

And hopefully the squanderer-in-chief can pull himself away from his book writing, vacationing and golfing to campaign for the donk. That should just about guarantee a GOP upset at this point.

[JohnnyMack]

Word. If she's anti-masturbation, I'm anti-O'Donnell.

Who wants to bet these "Tea Party" people get elected and act exactly like the jackasses we already have. I would say the odds are 90% or better

[Veritas]

In my ideal world these Tea Party wins would be a wake-up call to the Republican party to get their **** together and get back to being the party of personal responsibility rather than the "liberal in all issues but those that the religious right cares about" party.

[Leroy Lizard]

Word. If she's anti-masturbation, I'm anti-O'Donnell.

Strange priorities. :D

[King Crimson]

If Edmund Burke ran today, would he be a RINO?

[JohnnyMack]

Something about this candidate feels like a Neo-Con in Tea Party clothing. Feels like she's riding the coattails of the Tea Party Express when policy wise she seems like just another Neo-Con. It's really sad how fast they've co-opted a movement that had potential.

HIT IT

[King Crimson]

has there ever been populism that hasn't been organized from above? maybe the French Revolution. or the ironic coffee table. Marxism? resentment for the ruling Liberal, Yankee, elite?

just spontaneous righteousness, i guess.

most of the Tea Party people at the SO, were all in favor of the violation of civil rights as outlined by the Patriot Act.

selective, seems.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

I would just like to add that if there wasn't masturbation...the homicide rate would be astronomically higher.

[Breadburner]

W.W.T.D..??

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Is it true that she only made 5,800$ last year...if so damn, maybe we do need to elect her if she didn't get any government help.

[Scott D]

So this has to ask the question, is the Tea Party going to destroy the GoP as we know it? Is the apparent fracturing of the the GoP a good thing, or does it validate RLimC's mindset that something that gives the impression of a fracture within the GoP does in fact, benefit the Democratic Party as a third party "vote stealing" issue? If it does in fact validate RLimC's position in the matter, does that invalidate his staunch support of said Tea Partiers because they're as SicEm said, essentially 3rd partying their own party?

[49r]

Well, we know she won't give you a hand job...

I wonder if she'd give Mangino the head job though?

no, steve howe hand-grabber....i mean historically....like back to "olden" times.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

HIT ITA notch above her cousin, Rosie, no?

[OUthunder]

I will vote Tea Party or Libertarian until the Dems and Pubs start to see the light. Congrats to her.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Yes because voting for an ideology and not the person has worked so well for us up to this point!

[SanJoaquinSooner]

They piled on the debt and now the Democrats want to argue that the Republicans are just like them. And when you have liberal republicans up there, they are!

God help us all with this kind of reasoning.

The two best intevals of political rule in the last 50 years have come with one party ruling the white house and the other party ruling at least one branch of congress: Reagan's first term and Clinton after the pubs took the house.

If there is any lesson we should have learned from history is that one-party rule is the worst possible rule. It isn't about liberal or conservative. It's about power as a political aphrodisiac. RINO or not, splitting control of the branches of gov't creates an entirely new dynamic that is good for America.

You whining bítches. "I don't like his cap and trade vote, so what if he is a vote to repeal obamacare? America deserves obamacare if I don't get my way on cap and trade."

One party rule gave us Medicare, costing the taxpayer trillions to keep a bunch of old f**kers ticking. And one party rule gave us obamacare, costing the taxpayer trillions^2 to keep every last SOB not only ticking, but ticking with allah-only-knows how many unnecessary pills and tests.

Go ahead and check it in and retire in Florida so you can drink scotch with the Cuban exiles who beat their chests and assure themselves, "We sure are teaching the Cubans a lesson with our 50-year boycott!"

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

[JohnnyMack]

I love how all of a sudden RLIMC is a fan of the third party. Hypocrite.

[Scott D]

Clearly he doesn't care about the republican party and wants the democrats to win.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Bull****. The Tea Party is alienating moderate votes that are also being alienated by the current administration. Say what you want about party valuse, but in the end it's about votes, and don't believe the Tea Party is doing one favorable thing for Republicans.

Oh I've noticed. Which is exactly why I pointed out that O'Donnell is in fact nothing more than a neo-con claiming to be a tea partier.

I'd rather have Rand Paul any day than O'Donnell and her Sarah Palin-esque neo-con bull****.

haha.

haha.I'm fine with O'Donnell, and am happy she's a Republican, instead of a counter-productive 3rd party. I don't know what you think the Tea Party is about, but your perception might be different than reality.

hogwash. it's good for AM radio....which is the true voice of the Nation.

so dangerous, that is being shut down by the current regime under the name of the Fairness Doctrine....power to the people!

[Scott D]

good point speaking of which, shouldn't AM radio be off the air with the amount of push they were going to run that Fairness Doctrine through in 2008?

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

I was really pissed when they passed that Fairness Doctrine...that was total and utter bull****

I didn't read the rest of the thread, so sorry if this has been mentioned... but will this be all for naught if the victories are in the primaries and not in November? I mean, cool, you got an incumbent out, but what if the end result is that instead of a RINO, you get a DINO or an actual Democrat representing you instead?

[47straight]

If she hung out with Bill Maher, that's reason enough for me not to like her.

[GKeeper316]

my god this woman's an idiot... she actually believes the US government is genetically breeding mice with the higher brain function of a human.

she said as much on o'rielly a couple years ago.

this bitch is as crazy as they come.

The RINOs give some credence to those who complain that "both parties are the same". The dems should get ALL the blame for the socialist crap they have foisted on the American people. I'm happy to see any RINOS bite the political dust.

BTW there are few if any DINOS. There are democrats who campaign as conservatives to get elected, but then almost universally cling firmly to the Left after being elected.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Yeah, that Nelson fom Nebraska is a godless commie liberal.

CORRECT, GUYS. YOU GO GIRL!

[Chuck Bao]

As a witch, Christine O'Donnell just may prove to be very good at voodoo economics.

And then with her experience of having a picnic on a satanic altar with blood around, she'll fit right in with most elected Republicans.

You should support her. It's all about diversity, right?

[SanJoaquinSooner]

We've been reminded of the William F. Buckley Rule on these matters: Support the most conservative candidate who is electable. Castle was a slam dunk to win in November. Yes, he is a liberal Republican. He's from Delaware, not South Carolina.

So it is more likely the Senate will stay under Democratic control without Castle in the race.

The question you ask Leroy, is moot, because she is unelectable.

Although Castle is anti-obamacare, he pro-abortion rights, which is the litmus test for Tea Party loyalists. This is the Tea Party Rule: Support no pub who is pro-abortion rights, no matter how "right" he/she is on the other issues.

[Blue]

I love the fact that incumbents are getting booted left and right and shaking in their boots. R or D. The whole two party paradigm is bull**** and many are waking up to that fact. It's not their birthright to go to DC and set up shop. 80 to 90% of them are sociopaths.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Yeah, but if the tea party insists on having very specific republican values with no deviation allowed then it's hard to get all that excited about the 2 party system getting all shook up.

[Blue]

So where's the threat? Liberals should be happy.

I'd be glad to have a true conservative party even if they got ballstomped in every election.

[Crucifax Autumn]

No threat, but going by your previous post, you'd also like to see a viable third party that doesn't pull the same lame *** crap that both current major parties do. I'd rather enjoy a moderate party with common sense policies and solutions. 2 ridiculous extremes fighting for things that never work just means we go further down the crapper and I'm not really cool with watching our entire country be destroyed by loons on the extremes.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I'd be glad to have a true conservative party even if they got ballstomped in every election.Then, you should join Sicem's 3rd Party club. They have fun meetings, and, like Baylor, don't really care about winning.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

nmyou read the speck message?

[Blue]

Yeah. I think we're on the same page. I'm just fed up with all of them and I'm rooting for a gigantic sinkhole in DC at this point.

We're not slaves, we're not serfs, and we're not less than these represenatives. I'm getting very tired of them acting like it and their media mouthpiece broadcasting it.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I'm in the 3rd party club, but not the same as sicem. I'm serious about there being an actual electable 3rd party without power-hungry nutjobs like the current "leaders". I don't want someone to spoil an election for either side, I want someone to spoil an election for BOTH sides so we can move forward with common sense policies...Something the leaders of both parties have no clue about.

[HBick]

I can tell you all hate Bill Maher, I was flipping through and saw former GOP strategist Mark McKinnon on there. It's fairly interesting to hear what the more moderate GOP members have to say about O'Donnell and the other Tea Party candidates in the United States.

Long story short, Dems are happy because the moderates who would of voted against them, are now happy because moderates won't vote for Dems but won't vote for Tea Party candidates. It's going to be one hell of a November folks

[swardboy]

This will be the most un-apathetic off-year election evar! I think new voters break toward tea-partiers though.

O'Donnell's Dem opponent is already hard at work with personal attack ads...he knows he doesn't dare address issues. Voters are sick of this...
