The Witch or The Marxist, who would you vote for?

[DiveCon]

since we dont have a religious test for public office, someone being a witch(religion) wouldnt be of concern for me as long as they held constitutional policies

As it should be Dive...Good Form.

funny, i was saying that very same thing before the election in 2008 when people were saying Obama was a muslim

 

[The Infidel]

I think O'Donnell is probably a good person. And the witchcraft thing was brought up as a joke and now is over blown. I wouldn't vote for her though.
I don't agree with anything she does.

YOU DIDDLER!!!!

 

[edthecynic]

Not me. I'd rather bang the hot Satanist any day.

Who the hell wants to hear some bore who doesn't know how to use a blade drone on about the proletariat anyways?

Good luck trying to bang a DT.

She played in the NFL?

Tight End maybe.

Yes you certainly were. And odd that this 'Muslim' is supposed to be a "Constitutional Scholar" and taught the very same?

 

[AllieBaba]

So, you are ready to excuse one person's statement, but not anothers? Seems a little partisan to me, Allie.

What's to excuse? I have no business excusing either one. The question was who would one prefer.

I prefer the woman who didn't brag about hiding her true political colors.

Also, I don't see how admitting to being a Marxist and admitting one hung out with people who were into witchcraft as a kid can even be compared to one another. It's like trying to compare somebody who embraces eugenics to somebody who has a blue Chevy. They aren't the same.

THE WITCH DABBLER!! Seriously people,are the Democrats really spending $Millions on "Witchcraft" smears? Wow that's not only ludicrous but also shows how sadly desperate the Democrats really are. Well i'm still going with the "Witch Dabbler." I can't believe anyone in Delaware would rush out there to vote for Harry Reid's Marxist "Pet." Yikes! Go O'Donnell.

 

[California Girl]

This is such a silly non issue... we need to keep our eye on the ball.

Oust Nancy and all her chronies!

C'mon did you not notice how I framed this....the bearded marxist and the witch dabbler.....the fact that both said/did their crap when they were still in school too....this isn't serious its for fun

If it's supposed to be in fun, why file it in 'politics' instead of the flame zone?

 

[topspin]

I want to hear more on the witches financial struggles first, ie did she really default on a home lone?

Coons is worthy of discussion even beyond his bearded Marxist underpinnings

September 21, 2010
Chris Coons and his support for Black Liberation Theology
Joseph Smith

While the ruling class media have been busy casting slurs, slanders and snide comments about Christine O'Donnell, Jeffrey Lord over at American Spectator has been busy unearthing some rather interesting background on Harry Reid's pet senatorial candidate, Chris Coons.

* * * Mr. Lord has traced a rather involved series of links from Mr. Coons' junior year of college abroad in Africa, and his marked change in political views, to the Black Liberation Theology movement in South Africa, and ultimately to Trinity UCC Church in Chicago, home of one Jeremiah Wright and our sitting President.

The Spectator article begins by asking just what was it that Mr. Coons encountered on his African sabbatical that changed him , as Politico describes it, from a "proud founding member of the Amherst College Republicans" to the "Bearded Marxist" he wrote about on his return from abroad.

The answer appears to be that during his travels Coons did "volunteer work" for the South African Council of Churches (SACC), which includes a think tank called the Institute for Contextual Theology, which in turn promotes Liberation Theology:

So what was SACC up to in this period when Chris Coons crossed the Atlantic to South Africa and Kenya to "volunteer" and do "relief work"? What was SACC doing that Chris Coons seems not to want to discuss on his website? Or that leaves the Washington Post and the New York Times so incurious?...

...there was something else going on in South Africa with those who believed in James Cone's Black Liberation Theology that had nothing at all to do with an agenda of freedom for South African blacks...

...Yes indeed. Liberation theology. The Marxism-as-Christianity umbrella philosophy...

The article goes on at length to trace writings by South African theologians to a September 16th book signing * * * held at, of all places, Trinity UCC Church in Chicago.

* * * *

America is right this minute in the tightening grip of "liberation theology" -- exactly the philosophy that Delaware's Chris Coons was so anxious to go to Africa and serve as a volunteer.

* * * *

* * * * The article concludes

Chris Coons wants to be the newest addition to the liberation theology zealotry in Washington -- and the people of Delaware are supposed to be the passive yokels who agree to put him there. Even as they are losing their jobs, their homes and their entire hard won way of life because of the very philosophy Coons traveled thousands of miles to Africa to support.

So, while the media mob mentality does everything possible to denigrate and disparage Christine O'Donnell, they have been "silent on a stunning revelation that could prove uniquely fatal to Chris Coons' Senate candidacy," as the Washington Times quotes Mr. Lord.

What kind of faux libertarian would vote for a witch who want to do away with condoms?

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

Neither. I'd vote for the Libertarian Party candidate.

Jim Rash, Libertarian for U. S. Senate from Delaware

Only utter morons -- like you, dickless -- claim she's a witch.

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

I think O'Donnell is probably a good person. And the witchcraft thing was brought up as a joke and now is over blown. I wouldn't vote for her though.
I don't agree with anything she does.

Some people were actually being serious in saying that the fact that she checked out witchcraft in high school means she wasn't qualified. I found this as ridiculous as people saying because her opponnent checked out marxism in college means he is some crazy commie today....hence the thread making a joke of both .

 

[peach174]

I think that it is funny that the left was pushing to be more sentive to the wiccan religion in the 90's and now - how it's wrong for a right winger to have looked into it for a short time?

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

I don't see the political ramifications of being young and incidentally hanging with an anti-social crowd that turns out to be into witchcraft.

I do see ramifications of somebody who was proud of being a bearded (i.e., in disguise) Marxist, however.

One has political ramifications, one doesn't.

One incident took place as the result of honesty (she shared her experience)
The other is a proud statement of dishonesty.

Let me think.....

Well now that I read this I'm questioning my position here. Maybe you are right as witchcraft is more a rebellious thing while Marxism is definitely a political thing.

The rub for me comes from my personal experiences. In college I was an atheist and shared a like for some of the principles you can find in the whole progressive/socialist agenda. Today I am not of the same mindset at all.

I know there is a power greater than man in the universe and I know that the progressive/socialist agenda is not a productive or effective way to run a government if you want the people to be prosperous.

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

I vote for the Marxist Witch...

Your not running for office are you coyote?!?!?!

 

[LibocalypseNow]

The moment i heard Harry Reid refers to Coons as his "Pet",i had to go with the "Witchcraft Dabbler." O'Donnell in a Landslide.

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

I don't know what the hell the problem is. ALL girls in high school are "witches". I'm voting for the attractive woman who happens to love her country and wants all of us to have more money in our pockets to provide for ourselves and our families instead of having the government take what is rightfully ours to pay for their outlandish perks and pensions. Fuck 'em.

Can't argue with that logic

If your going to give me a hard time at least get the subform right....humor.

Yeah I guess she isn't part of the uber rich and elite washington insiders group that we typically get to choose 1 of 2 people from.
