Finally, a LEGITIMATE criticism of O'Donnell!

As far as I can tell, she is indeed an opponent of gay marriage, and that is unfortunate. And, again unfortunately, marriage in general is within state purview, so we can expect her to be in position to support a federal ban through a constitutional amendment - which, fortunately, isn't likely.

I'm pretty sure she's done that by now. Again - we're talking about things that happened twenty years ago.

I'm sorry, no. The media didn't bring up this issue in this thread, Groucho, you and El Murato did. So you can't blame this particular attack on the media.

Attacking her religious belief? I think its more of attacking her hyprocrisy more so than anything. Since she is using her religious belief as her main platform and as she was using as a weapon to attack democrats over family values, I think its more than enough for her past shenigans to be dusted off from the archives

So again I will ask you the same question: can nobody ever change their position on anything?

Fair enough, but my points remains: it wasn't the media that brought this issue into this thread. What started of as a discussion on Republican's chances to gain a Senate seat in Delaware has become a discussion about O'Donnel's dirty laundry.

Yes but she only changed her views after she already had her fun sort of like George W with his strict run in Texas with the drug laws. Its not quite similiar to how someone changes their view on the death penalty or gun control

I have no problem with people changing views after an experience but would have issue with those condemning those that use to live the same life style as they once had

Again, her views on sexuality are just her views - she has repeatedly said that she does not seek to make them laws. Do you go around condemning every former drug user who is now trying to stop people from using drugs?

If someone has an idiotic way of thinking in their OWN life, why would I want that person telling other people what to do?

President Obama has not pushed for getting rid of the Controlled Substances Act. Somehow, I don't think that makes him a hypocrite (though I wish he would make such a push).

I am not from Delaware, but my understanding is that the main issues in the Coons/O'Donnell match-up is the size of government and the economy, not social issues.

Chris Coons allegedly described himself as a "bearded Marxist" while in college, which is, to me, more risible than anything O'Donnell said about witches.

If the laws were harsh and gives the junkie the maximum sentence, yes I would be disturbed by the former junkie passing such a harsh law when he could at least symphasize that hes been there before

Damn it, we are NOT talking about laws here. We're talking about personal choices. Is it that fucking hard to see the difference?

You asked the question on the second sentence so I answered it. If she was so concern about personal choices, she wouldnt be making her campaign around personal choices that she made or of her opponent or democratic party by labeling them unamerican, muslim, anti-christian whatever you name it. Thats why this whole personal choice or past has come into play

The question did not relate to laws; believe it or not, there are ways to discourage people from using drugs without making a legislative agenda around it. Likewise, when O'Donnell preached "purity", it was about advocacy, not about laws.

Except you did not bring up any of those issues, and chose instead to focus on her personal views on sexuality.

None of these people got a pass from Limbaugh and Beck, that was my point.

I'm a staunch liberal... But I have to agree with Krem at this point.

I think that the left is working on overtime to destroy Christine O'Donnell because the idea right now because Democrats are working hard to stir up fear about the extremist Republicans in an effort to get all those 18 million first-time voters back to the polls. But a LOT of those people are not going to come back because of the enthusiasm gap. Sure, they passed Health Care reform, but at enormous compromises. When Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, he absolutely scuttled Copenhagen in favor of sending 70,000 more troops back to a war that we are never, ever going to win.

That said, I really, really do not want Christine O'Donnell and her cronies to continue this trend of complete obstructionism. Obama's single biggest mistake was trying to live up to his mistake of ending bi-partisanship. The majority of Tea Partiers, who are nowhere nearly as big as the media would have us believe, will never, ever support a black president or the very concept of a truly liberal president holding office.

Agreed.

As for the left working to make all Republicans look extreme -- well, yeah, that's politics. The GOP is doing the same thing in reverse, trying to tie every Democrat, no matter how moderate, with Nancy Pelosi.

Dabbling in witchcraft would be irrelevant to her Christian supporters if done prior to her espoused conversion. It falls in line with the whole "sinner turned saint" angle that typically goes over quite well.

It almost got me elected.

You spelled "erected" wrong

oh my

Best argument against evolution ever!!!!!!!!!!

Boy, that Christine O'Donnell wasn't kidding when she said she wasn't a master debator, was she?

Ya, that debate was gold. I loved every second of it.
