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.
I think Tea Party does not take themselves seriously. Just look at their two candidates right now: Christine O'Donnell and Sarah Palin! I feel like they are digging themselves a grave right now. It really is unfortunate because the party is getting a lot of media coverage this year and could have done something great with it.
ReplyDeleteMeghan! Like I said on twitter, I totally agree with what you're saying about O'Donnell being too silly. She seems to be unprofessional and I feel like she is the wrong choice for the Tea Party.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Tatiana's comment, I agree with the majority of what you are saying, but I do think that Palin is much more professional and careful in what she stands for than that of O'Donnell.
I totally agree from her to Sharron Angle to Joe Miller these candidates just have such extreme views it borders on being a joke. I sometimes wonder if this election is just one big stunt by Ashton Kutcher to bring back punk'd
