Christine O’Donnell For Senate

Posted on | March 26, 2010 | 34 Comments

by Smitty


Those who thought that 2008 was merely an election for the 44th President may have been surprised to hear, via the Reverend Al Sharpton, that Hope and Change really meant a Constitutional Convention and we opted for Socialism.

That hogwash isn’t selling well here, either. What is so infuriating about Reverend Sharpton’s statement is the number of people who implicitly or explicitly subscribe to it. In the general case, people enjoy moderation, like to consider opposing views, and are not unwilling to trade some horses to advance their cause. In the particular case of health care, no one is seriously arguing against reasonable reform.

Invoking Thomas Jefferson, we have:

In matters of principle, stand like a rock; in matters of taste, swim with the current.

Anyone who thinks that the founding principles of the country, even the first article of the Constitution, have not been corrupted by this Judas Congress and atrocious Administration really needs to re-examine every scrap of the last two years of American political history.

So the question moves to what degree the otherwise congenial and collaborative conservatives should engage and support ObamaCare? I submit that we should be more receptive to Al Gore’s AGW hooey than Al Sharpton’s Socialist surprise. ObamaCare must be opposed, not just because it is legislative compost, but also because the kick in the groin delivered by the Judas Congress cannot be let stand.

Which brings us to Delaware. For a small state, she’s got a big RINO in the form of Mike Castle running for the Senate. Via Mark Levin Fan, Delaware Online reports:

Castle won’t join GOP effort to repeal health law. Rescinding legislation is ‘unrealistic’ goal.

Well, Representative Castle, the Revolution itself wasn’t terribly realistic either. Had we a bunch of Stupakian thinkers like yourself at the time, our currency would still be pounds sterling. My personal, unrealistic opinion is that we should have an Article V cramdown, with 35 States and blow away:

  • ObamaCare,
  • The Great Society,
  • The New Deal,
  • The Federal Reserve Act, and
  • The 16th and 17th Amendments

. . . which is why I have not been left in charge.

So how about with think American, think big, and, for Delaware voters, think about supporting Christine O’Donnell, the Sarah Palin of the East. Representative Castle’s positions just aren’t packing the heat needed to restore America to greatness.  Christine O’Donnell, while probably not as take-the-hill-crazy as me, is the principled sort of Republican we need in the 112th Congress.

Listen, I totally get that conservatives in say…Massachusetts are not going to be like conservatives in say…Mississippi. Duh. That does not mean you have to give up your core principals to run as a conservative in more liberal areas. Chris Christie proved that in New Jersey. Scott Brown proved that in Massachusetts.

    But Scarborough has his niche boutique MSNBC audience (probably smaller than Instapundits) and knows he cannot compete with Fox so he doesn’t bother to try. Because he is weak. And he knows he is weak. So he is kept around to be a weak foil to even weaker Ed “Fatty” Schultz.

    HELLO FOLKS!!

    Please read this article about Christine! I can assure you that she’s not all she’s cracked up to be! Christine has never held a real job and has been running (unsuccessfully) for political office since 2006. She has been consistently falling into personal financial trouble and her campaign has had its shares of problems as well. Numerous former employees for her campaigns have come out and said that they were never paid for their work. Please read this article to know the truth about Christine!! Also, be sure to check out her wikipedia article. I will wholeheartedly support conservative candidates, but certainly not this one.

    She hasn’t held a steady job, if any job at all, since she ran as a write-in candidate in 2006. She carries campaign debt from year to year, won’t work and doesn’t pay her staff as promised or reimburse them for their expenses but does manage to reimburse her boyfriends for their expenses. She is quoted as saying that if she takes a job, she can’t live off of campaign contributions.

    She carried debt to companies who worked with her 2008 campaign for over a year while she traveled the country, and apparently even went to the Middle East, all without being employed. She had to have a closed campaign announcement and even then she had an unpaid campaign staffer from 2008 removed from the event. She attached herself to the state party in 2008 when she won the nomination at the convention going as far as to use the state party headquarters as her campaign headquarters, and in 2010 she’s acting like the state party outcast and disregarding the nomination process.

    Instead of working between campaigns to pay off debt, she carries the debt into the next election cycle and uses donations she’s getting now to pay off debts from 2008. She’s runs her campaigns like a Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme, robbing Peter to pay Paul.

    And her 2010 campaign, to date, has consisted of blaming Castle and his “minions” for almost 20 years worth of her personal financial problems, calling Castle a RINO, and asking for money.

    But the worst part about O’Donnell running again is that good conservatives with good values get conned by her every election cycle.

    Compare Mike Castle with Christine O’Donnell
    http://christine2010.com/compare/

    Jobs

    CASTLE: Voted for Nancy Pelosi’s cap and tax energy scheme which would kill 6,117 Delaware jobs and also voted for the job-killing minimum wage hike.

    O’DONNELL: Believes jobs are created when businesses are freed from endless taxes and bureaucratic red tape.

    Security

    CASTLE: Voted with liberals in Congress to handicap our intelligence and military agencies.

    O’DONNELL: Believes terrorism is an act of war requiring the full force of our intelligence and military resources rather than granting terrorists precious Constitutional rights and outsourcing our foreign policy to the U.N.

    Debt

    CASTLE: Voted to increase the national debt & consistently supports Washington’s reckless spending.

    O’DONNELL: Believes heaping trillions in debt on the backs of our grandchildren is immoral and that Congress is elected to make the hard choices to preserve our nation’s future prosperity.

    Taxes

    CASTLE: Voted to keep the death tax, to increase taxes by $3,100 on every American family, and to remove the protection of the middle class from dramatic tax increases originally intended to hit <200 of the richest Americans.

    O'DONNELL: Will fight to remove the crushing tax burden faced by American families and businesses and dramatically simplify the tax code.

    Life

    CASTLE: Voted to subject children to out-of-state abortions without consent of parents, voted to use U.S. funds to support Planned Parenthood at home and abroad, supports human cloning, and sponsored the bill to destroy, exploit and experiment on unborn children as scientific lab-rats.

    O'DONNELL: Will fight to defend the dignity and rights of every human life, including protecting Americans from being forced to pay for abortions with tax dollars, and vigorously fighting human cloning and the destruction of unborn children in medical experiments.

    Energy

    CASTLE: Voted to ban exploration for American energy, keeping gas prices high, to prohibit drilling in America’s land and waters, and to ban building new oil refineries.

    O'DONNELL: Supports domestic drilling by land and sea, while building and expanding refineries to keep competition high and energy prices low.

    Values

    CASTLE: Voted to allow liberal activist judges to strip “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance, against the Constitutional protection of marriage, and against educational choice for parents with children in failing schools.

    O'DONNELL: Believes our country was founded on core values of faith, family and freedom and will fight to defend those values. Will always fight for maximum choice for parents about where to educate their kids, including private, parochial and charter schools or in the home.

    Spending

    CASTLE: Voted to spend billions on failed stimulus packages & bailouts.

    O'DONNELL: Believes unrestrained government spending is eroding our freedom, destroying our economy and ceding our sovereignty to foreign debt- holders like China.

    Accountability

    CASTLE: Voted to protect 103 outrageous pork projects that would lead to corruption and waste.

    O'DONNELL: Renounces corrupt pork-barrel politics, including earmarks, and will fight for increased transparency and performance information for every Federal program.

    Healthcare

    CASTLE: Remained undecided about Pelosi’s government takeover of healthcare until 4 days before vote.

    O'DONNELL: Believes that the solution to the healthcare crisis is less government meddling in the doctor/patient relationship, more competition in the insurance market and more choice for families about their health plan.

    Gun Control

    CASTLE: Received an “F” rating from the NRA, indicating a strong anti-2nd Amendment position.

    O'DONNELL: Christine’s strong support of 2nd Amendment rights has earned her an “A” rating from the NRA.

    You might be interested to know that the News Journal article these minions were posting was fodder directly from the Castle campaign. In fact, every bit of it was a lie and the News Journal did no fact checking before writing it. The story was hand fed to the eager beaver, in the tank “reporters” at the local liberal media bastion. The guys and gals over at the Gannett paper here in New Castle were foaming at the mouth when Priscilla Rakestraw (Delaware’s GOP National Committeewoman)showed up with a prefab story about Ms. O’Donnell. Once they saw the juice and realized it could put her away for good, they quickly copied and pasted it into the morning edition.

    One problem, not a word was true. Well, with one exception, they spelled her name correctly…but that’s it. Rumors of an FEC investigation were false (unlike the local liberal lunatic lackey at the good old “News Journal” I did a little digging of my own and found out that Christine in fact did miss a filing deadline or two but complied quickly with FEC letters asking her to report in. The fabricated story about “an unpaid campaign staffer” was brought by a former campaign VOLUNTEER who is now tied to the Castle campaign (and by tied I mean drives around with a Mike Castle bumper sticker and is probably sitting on a block of ice for King Castle’s amusement as we speak). Said volunteer already bilked money from the campaign, engaged in a weak attempt at bribery AND is related to Ms. O’Donnell’s ex. Any discerning and objective individual can extrapolate that the poor old man bringing these allegations is nothing more than a two bit punk out to bludgeon Christine with lies.

    Further, the supposed tax lein on Ms. O’Donnell turned out to be an error at the IRS…(the retraction hasn’t yet been printed but we’re hopeful that there is a heartbeat and a conscience at the N.J.) At any rate, Ms. O’Donnell has been a long time P.R. and media relations expert who has worked on behalf of Mel Gibson during “The Passion of Christ” and other more recent movies. In fact, her last gig ended when she decided to run for office in 2010. I’m not at liberty to discuss it (nor should it matter, her ’08 campaign debt is taken care of in compliance with the FEC regs and she isn’t subsisting herself off campaign funds…but if she were, as long as her supporters knew that since she wasn’t able to work AND campaign and since she wasn’t a millionaire…what difference would THAT make…) but suffice to say that Ms. O’Donnell works PLENTY thank you very much.

    In this case, truth is not stranger than fiction. The Delaware GOP is working hard to destroy her but fortunately they are as bad at making up lies about people as they are at winning elections. Tom Ross, Priscilla Rakestraw, Mike Stafford, Mike Castle, etc. are the lowest form of living scum there is and sadly they are stopping below at to the microfungal level. I’m really concerned that these..”people” might find themselves sent directly to Hell without a pardon if they continue to be such evil people.

    You want to know how much of a threat Ms. O’Donnell “isn’t”? Mike Castle, King COngressman from the great State of Delaware…the man who THE WHOLE STATE apparently adores (or tolerates) can’t bring himself to debate her. It could be because everytime he opens that crooked mouth to talk he says something like “Congress is past the Constitution…” or “I’m against repealing the healthcare bill.” In fact, Congresman Castle is SO afraid of Christine that when they were invited to a Newark Region Meeting last week Congressman Castle sent his lackey Jeff Dayton to actually give the Castle campaign speech. We were told that the Congressman cared very much about what we thought. I was stunned when I asked were Congressman Castle was if he “cared so much” and the reply was “He’s voting.” This was at nearly 8PM…so I did some lookin and…I know this is strange…but it looks like the session was adjourned at 6:35 PM in D.C. The train station is minutes away and guess what, the train would have arrived in Newark, DE at 7:45PM. Now, if that weren’t bad enough I found out that actually, only the floor speakers were evern IN the Capital at 6:30PM because “legislative business” had been suspended at 3:30PM which means that the good Congressman who cares so much, sat in D.C. for 3 hours and 15 mins with no HOPE to vote for anything all night long.

    Perhaps the attack dogs sent to discredit (although abject failures) Ms. O’Donnell would care to explain that…if they would, I’ve got Oh let me see…1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..skip a few…about 25 more items they can explain…you know, VOTES that Congressman Castle has cast in the last few years that have eroded our liberties. You folks have poke the damn grizzly bear and you are now getting the teeth.

It could be because everytime he opens that crooked mouth to talk he says something like “Congress is past the Constitution…” or “I’m against repealing the healthcare bill.” In fact, Congresman Castle is SO afraid of Christine that when they were invited to a Newark Region Meeting last week Congressman Castle sent his lackey Jeff Dayton to actually give the Castle campaign speech. We were told that the Congressman cared very much about what we thought. I was stunned when I asked were Congressman Castle was if he “cared so much” and the reply was “He’s voting.” This was at nearly 8PM…so I did some lookin and…I know this is strange…but it looks like the session was adjourned at 6:35 PM in D.C. The train station is minutes away and guess what, the train would have arrived in Newark, DE at 7:45PM. Now, if that weren’t bad enough I found out that actually, only the floor speakers were evern IN the Capital at 6:30PM because “legislative business” had been suspended at 3:30PM which means that the good Congressman who cares so much, sat in D.C. for 3 hours and 15 mins with no HOPE to vote for anything all night long.

    Perhaps the attack dogs sent to discredit (although abject failures) Ms. O’Donnell would care to explain that…if they would, I’ve got Oh let me see…1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..skip a few…about 25 more items they can explain…you know, VOTES that Congressman Castle has cast in the last few years that have eroded our liberties. You folks have poke the damn grizzly bear and you are now getting the teeth.

    DEConservative is wrong. The News Journal article, if anyone bothers to read it, was based on court documents, FEC reports, and interviews. That information did not come from Castle, it came from a Conservative blogger in Sussex County who saw red flags in her campaign finance report and started picking around in her past.

    The first court document was when Dickenson College took O’Donnell to court and got a judgement against her because she never paid her college debts. Dickenson won a judgement against O’Donnell, and because of the debt, never gave her a degree. In 2006 and 2008 when O’Donnell ran for the Senate, she ran as a “graduate” of Dickenson, which was not the truth.

    The second court document was from her mortgage company, they won a judgement against O’Donnell for not paying her mortgage. A few weeks before the Sheriff sale she sold the house to a campaign staffer that was also her boyfriend, with the understanding that she would buy it back. She never did.

    The campaign staffer that was tossed from her announcement was not a liar. His name is David Keegan, and he was supposed to be a paid staffer. She coerced him into putting campaign expenses on his credit card and never reimbursed him, meanwhile she was paying her boyfriend for rent. Keegan shows up on her most recent campaign finance report as a debt from 2008. He managed to get her to acknowledge her debt to him but only for his expenses that put him over the legal limit for campaign contributions. The fact that he’s on her FEC report proves he was not lying. Look up her latest report and he’s there, twice.

    He wasn’t the only unpaid staffer.

    As for her work history, The Passion was in 2004, that was 6 years ago. After that, she went to work for ISI, a conservative think tank in Delaware run by a former Reagan staffer. O’Donnell sued them for sexual discrimination, but then dropped the suit when ISI chose to fight her in the open instead of settling out of court.

    None of O’Donnell’s supporters know the name of her PR firm, and when you ask her, she doesn’t answer. If you Google “The Passion of the Christ” and “Christine O’Donnell” the only references you get to her connection with the movie are her own claims. Mel Gibson seems to think that his own PR company did the promotional work for the movie.

    She gave an interview to the Coastal Conservative Network where she said that if she got a job, she legally couldn’t pay for her expenses out of campaign money.

    She won’t face the media. After her loss at the Convention she refused to answer questions. She refuses interviews unless they come from handpicked conservative bloggers. She will not answer questions from any of the media in Delaware. She accuses everyone of lying about her past, and when you show her the court documentation and her own FEC report she turns around and walks away, then tells her supporters that it’s all “slander”.

    The majority of O’Donnell’s support is out of state, where people don’t know her track record in Delaware. Her in-state support is limited to a handful of bloggers with no credibility and no traffic. Those bloggers have set up numerous pro-O’Donnell blogs under various names to make it appear like she has more support than she actually does. Outside of that small cabal of bloggers, she doesn’t have much in Delaware.

    In 2008, the State Party twisted the arms of every GOP campaign in the state to support O’Donnell and invite her to events. Every campaign pitched in to help O’Donnell. They even invited her to their major fundraisers and helped her raise money. Then in the end, her thanks was to whine that the State Party didn’t support her. I can tell you that she has lost the support of the grassroots, the people doing the work on the ground, when her quotes hit the local papers.

    Mike Castle is certainly NOT the Republican of my choice for the Senate, but the bottom line is that there really is no alternative. Please stop forcing this unelectable trainwreck on us good, hard working, Delaware Republicans.
