If that isn’t clear enough, hows this: Get on board or get the hell out!

Christine O’Donnell is a completely unimpressive candidate.

Compared to Coons?

Uh, doesn’t that depend upon the comparison?

Nope. I believe there are some objective standards to determine whether someone is deserving and/or capable of being one of 100 US Senators. Which O’Donnell doesn’t meet. I would vote for her over Coons. But just because the Democrats suck doesn’t mean we should as well.

Most “true conservatives” think they can, which is why if O’Donnell loses in Delaware or Angle in Nevada, etc, it is and can only be (a) the fault of the damned RINOs, just like everything else in the world, and/or (b) because America’s not quite ready yet to elect 60 Rubios.

Duuuude! I had my response thought out, here with my wet hair and all, and you throw in that phrase? For that, I am gonna go rubia tonight ;)

Uh, doesn’t that depend upon the comparison?

As I pointed out earlier in the thread, it does. The blueblood countryclubbers, the Bush/Rockefeller Wing of the GOP only wants its own. If the GOP were Caddyshack, they’d be Judge Smails and we’d be Al Czervik.

Remember: this bunch hated Ronald Reagan, and many still do even while trying to corrupt claim his legacy

Christine O’Donnell is a completely unimpressive candidate.

Because …well, maybe you weren’t so impressed with her compared to Castle (for whatever the reason: I don’t care what), and maybe you think you had a point then.

…but if you’re comparing her to Coons – which is, btw, what the voters will be doing – now , you’ve a completely unimpressive argument.

And anyways, Mickey Kaus earlier today destroyed that line of reasoning.

She won, dude. It’s done. Get over it.

You have to ignore quite a few facts about Castle to determine that O’Donnell is worse IMHO.

You’re right. There is no sensibility in the intolerant rants.

The only way to balance the Federal budget is to understand how to balance a budget.

As in voting down any more federal spending:

CAP AND TRADE!

“Unity Over” says allahp, making a self fulfilling prophesy, taking his marbles and going home.

10points behind at the onset. And there goes Chicken Little, “the sky is falling, the sky is falling!”

A snide and revolting characteristic from some pundits is the refusal to labor for a most important win, a most important bill, etc.

If O’Donnell WINS, she’ll be seated in time to vote against Cap and Trade. The other candidates would vote for it. That alone and of itself is reason to unify for her success. Conservatives voted for McCain on the potus ticket, and again voted for McCain’s senatorial race. Time for the neocons to get behind Republican candidates who won primaries with the Tea Party movement.

Any “split” in the party will be determined by the neocons, whether they are willing to tolerate conservatives.

I’m a RINO who will be donating to the Rubio campaign. I also hope O’Donnell loses. She’s an absolutely terrible candidate, and, yes, Castle would have been better. If people can’t manage their own finances, they shouldn’t be the GOP nominee. The only way to balance the Federal budget is to understand how to balance a budget.

Who said she couldn’t manage her own finances or balance a budget? If you are low on income because of a change in income and start to lose your house, that disqualifies you? If you have hard times financially, that disqualifies you?

Man, I guess I should toss aside my dreams of being in politics. I nearly lost my house to the housing bubble and being unemployed, guess that means I can’t represent the people. My IQ, business experience and common sense conservatism be damned, what matters is that I’ve never had financial issues or trouble paying back my $50,000 in school loans . . .

Thank about your measure for service. Abraham Lincoln would have never been president . . .

How come Sarahcuda supported centrist Carly Fiorina instead of Chuck DeVore in the deep blue state of California?

The miss here is not comparing DeVore to O’Donnell, it’s comparing Firiona to Castle. If Castle were anywhere close to being Firiona, Palin probably would have supported him over O’Donnell if Castle had been nicer (more of a gentleman).

But here is where Rove is right and should have focused instead of repeating the lies about O’Donnell: Castle wasn’t just left of conservatives. He wasn’t a RINO. He was worse. He was for cap and tax, a huge redistributionist boondoggle that will put us in permanent depression and competitive kneecap until removed. He is a socialist in GOP clothing, not just squishy on a couple of issues.

Firiona can win. She has name recognition, CEO experience (however debatably poor she did), and is right wing compared to Castle.

The only thing you can argue is that she should have stayed out of the Delaware race. But picking Firiona is far, far, far better than picking Castle. They are opposites.

Yeah, O’Donnell is a bit of a mess here and there–but, she’ll be like so many on Dem side who knee jerk vote with their Party without even bothering with any analysis or detail. Could be useful.

AP throws an absolute fit, purposefully insults a good portion of the readers here and then acts like the spoiled little kid who, when the other kids don’t want to play “his” game, takes his ball and goes home.

All the time AP was whining about no longer feeling “welcome” in the current version of the Republican Party, crying about having RINO’s vote with the Dems, and so on, and so on and so on . . . claiming that “true conservatives” are somehow mistreating RINO’s (Self-identifying??) by not going “big tent” and supporting “electable” RINO’s

All I could think about were those wonderful R leaders like:

Crist
Murkowski
Castle
etc – etc – etc

All of whom displayed the kind of “big tent” support AP insists “true conservatives” are denying folks like him, when they lost their primaries and led by example by getting behind the “peoples” choice and supporting the Republican candidate – as AP insists “true conservatives” do . . .

OR, did they??

Hmmmmm

Time for a Hot Air name change: Rino Review with Allahpundit

RINO in cheif ALLAHPUNDIT

Christine O’Donnell is a completely unimpressive candidate.

Compared to whom? Joe Biden, a man who thinks “jobs” is a three letter word? Bela Pelosi? Bawney Fwank? The narcissistic petulant Man-Child in the White House?

Paul Ryan is my congressman. I’d love to have more like him. We don’t need R’s if they are going to help advance the Obama Regime’s agenda in the name of “bipartisanship.”

As for your perception of Sarah Palin, once again, I must ask you to whom you are comparing her to … Barack Hussein Obama? The Worst. President. Ever. Arguably Palin was more qualified than McCain, Obama and Biden in 2008. At least she had executive experience.

The political elites — state-run media, lefty pundits and GOP establishment hacks — are saying exactly the same things about Sarah Palin and reacting to her the same way they did about someone else … Ronald Reagan.

Remeber what El Rushbo tells us: the Left will tell us who they fear, and they fear Sarah Palin. Why? Because if they didn’t and if she were the intellectual lightweight and gaffe machine SNL and the establishment has caricatured her as, they’d ignore her.

She’s a real threat to them, and they know it. So are other citizen-legislators like O’Donnell, Sharron Angle and Rand Paul.

IOW, it was bound to happen this way.

Allahpundit is a middle of the road centrist/”independent”, just like Scott Brown and Mike Castle

Scott Brown may be a centrist/moderate, but Mike Castle was a pure progressive/lefty. His CFG rating was 28, his ACU rating slightly higher. There may be Democrats with better numbers.

Republicans that help advance progressive issues and the Obama Regime’s agenda need to go. Period. That includes amnesty for illegal aliens.
