This was posted under Dr. DeWitt's discussion board so many of you will have already seen this. But since it proves my point from my previous blog, I thought I would add it.

Christine O'Donnell makes the Tea Party look silly
Christine O'Donnell has yet again made it into the news because of things she has said in the past. This time, the media is talking about remarks made at a debate in 2006 that China is planning to take over the United States. According to the Associated Press, Christine O'Donnell stated in the primary debate that she was privy to 'classified information" that indicated China had a plan. How ridiculous is this? If it was confidential she shouldn't have said this in the first place which makes me believe it is more nonsense concocted by a attention hungary politician.
So my question is this: If the Tea Party wants to be taken seriously by other parties and groups, why are they backing a candidate who has such an extensive past of saying silly things?
Eleanor Clift of Newsweek was on MSNBC news yesterday and she said that O'Donnell is good for the Teas Party because she seems like a ordinary person to people that watch her and makes people think the Tea Party is made up of ordinary people instead of super rich people.
So to be seen as a billionaire movement or a ridiculous, senseless movement by the people? I think the Tea Party has made the wrong choice.
