Tea Party darling O'Donnell doesn't want to talk about sex anymore
Before she became a darling of the Tea Party movement and a threat to the GOP establishment, not just in Delaware but nationally, conservative Senate hopeful Christine O;Donnell developed something of a reputation as a pundit with outspoken views about things that that even socially conservative talking heads sometimes shy away from -- things like premarital sex, porn, even masturbation.
As noted earlier this week on the top political blog Talking Points Memo:
O'Donnell has said, for example, that masturbation is wrong, and that looking at pornography is equivalent to cheating on your spouse. She outlined her views in a November 1998 article titled "The Case for Chastity" for Cultural Dissident.
She wrote:
"When a married person uses pornography, or is unfaithful, it compromises not just his (or her) purity, but also compromises the spouse's purity. As a church, we need to teach a higher standard than abstinence. We need to preach a righteous lifestyle."
A dozen years later, O'Donnell may get an opportunity to bring her ideas to the corridors of the Capitol, the greatest bully pulpit in the world. In the election to fill the Delaware Senate seat once occupied by Vice President Joe Biden, O'Donnell and her Tea Party allies are in a seeming neck and neck dogfight with the establishment candidate, the more moderate U.S. Rep.and former governor Mike Castle. The primary is Tuesday, and given the expected GOP tsunami, an O'Donnell upset would give her at least a decent shot in November, even in nominally blue (hen?) Delaware.
Last night, I spent the longest two hours of my life (more on that in tomorrow's Daily News) at a Tea Party Express rally outside the state capitol in Dover where O'Donnell -- whose youthful attractiveness and right-wing views have garnered more than a few comparisons to a certain ex-half-tern Alaska governor -- spoke and then answered reporters' questions.
Except about sex. When I tried to ask her if she's use her Senate platform to push issues such as reduciug promiscuity, her tone became somewhat indignant:
That has nothing to do with this campaign! That has nothing to do with this campaign (exasoerated tone.). That has nothing to do with this campaign, alright? Well, I'm a social conservative that's obvious, but none of this is relevant to the campagn. Everybody knows my platform, they're up on my website.
I wanted to follow-up, and ask her her views on related issues such as abortion. But she abruptly ended her impormptu news conference about 20 seconds after that. Earlier, O'Donnell said her initial legislative push -- the winner of the election takes office immediately in November because it is a special election due to Biden's 2009 resignation -- will one that has no chance of becoming law. That would be a repeal of the Obama health care plan that she acknowledges would be vetoed by the incumbent POTUS.

"I'm a social conservative that's obvious, but none of this is relevant to the campaign"...Uh, yeah I guess not. It's not like you'll be voting on legislation dealing with social issues should you get elected. Yikes. Hard to believe, but the Chin Baggers may have actually found someone more clueless than Wailin' Palin.— CiceroSpuriousDeodatus- She's hot, perhaps I'll maturbate to her picture.— borncynic
- Chin bagggers?!? Glib and snarky. Well done, Cicero. I'd bet you're well qualified to infiltrate said Tea Party. Mike Castle should win handily, but watching you progressive half-wits rearranging deck chairs is entertaining.— A Friend
Comment removed.- Call peta,because i choked my chicken last night.— BLACKGUY34
- One typo I get,even two.Six or more & I get distracted.I guess O'Donnell (or O;Donnell,whatever )is the next Palin/Beck.— Yankee Air Pirate 12
First question-what is wrong with living a righteous life? Although many aspire to it, it is a difficult standard few can attain. Again, denegrating personal virtue seems to be something you enjoy. The biggest reason she is running is the "economy stupid". If she was proabortion, would you find her more acceptable? You can't post without attacking Palin or Beck? Why is that? How about the third of a term president? Doin a heck of a job isn't he. Gonna cost his party control of the house and the senate. Quite a leader! Leading his prty and our country right down the sewage pipe. I'm beginning to miss Jimmah Carter.— georgel- Wow... So you thought that the best thing you could ask her about is what her views in 1998 were (when she was 29). That's great journalism, Will. Let's see if I can think up some more relevant questions: "How would you address the deficit?", "What's your position on the Bush Tax cuts?", "What's your plan to get the economy moving again?", "Since you are against the healthcare bill, what's your plan to reduce healthcare costs in the US"... Wow, those took me 3 seconds to think up.— IggleFan68
- We have no idea how O'Donnell is polling in this, but one thing is clear. The Tea Party Express is scraping bottom for candidates. Lets see, no track record, no job, no career. Why don't they just search the Wilmington Train Station benches late at night for candidates. I had a conversation with my Tea Party friends to see if they were solicited to run for Senate. They are all more qualified.— cberger42970

- Comment removed.
- cberger42970 you are not far off in the descrition of the Obamanation. No track record, no private jobs-no clue. Obama is as experienced and qualifiesd as my dog. BTW, my dog is dead.— georgel
- I wonder if she would have unmarried sex with me...... That would be awesome— cmb358
- O'Donnell is youthfully attractive? That, at least in this reader's opinion, is an understatement, Will. *Hilarious, Blackguy34*— PhillyTru
- george, their is nothing wrong with living a righteous life, until you try and force your interpretation of "righteous" down the throats of millions of Americans that might not agree with you. Therefore, while the question certainly isn't the most important question, it is highly appropriate particularly since the right wing constantly beat their collective chests as the "moral majority". And given your posts, your dog is lucky to be dead.— amg
- She's a psycho, but if she can upset Castle or split the Republican vote as a third-party candidate, I say more power to her. It is vitally important that the tax cuts on millionaires be allowed to expire. Hopefully the Democratic Congress that is elected when President Obama is reelected in 2012 will raise the top rate to 45%. Millionaires can afford it and have had an easy ride, while the middle class has been vanishing. If O'Donnell wants to make marriage even more boring, who are we to criticize her for it?— Delaware Jim
- O'Donnell is the GOP's worst nightmare. They are counting on Delaware as Castle would be a clear favorite in November. If the Tea party pulls off this upset as they did in Nevada, the GOP has no chance in the general election come November. Harry Reid was as good as gone six months ago, but the TP got Sharon Angle elected for the GOP and now she is running behind and has no chance as her extreme views are coming out. Unbelievable.— matty177
- "It is vitally important that the tax cuts on millionaires be allowed to expire." Delaware Jim, I'm ashamed to be in the same state as you. Why is this "vitally important"?? Why do you feel that millionaires need to fork out more of their money out of their pockets? What in your mind would be the right tax rate for "millionaires"?? 60%? 70%? Remember, a lot of small business owners are "millionaires"...— IggleFan68
- "until you try and force your interpretation of "righteous" down the throats of millions of Americans that might not agree with you." Is this a joke? Wasnt that what Dems just did with HC reform?— RG
Delaware Jim that is a great idea - we definitely need to do something about the vanishing middle class!! Maybe if we tax at 55% we can push enough rich people back down to middle class status.— bird11
RG no its completley different, when Libs force something down our throats its, 'because we know whats best for you'. When its the right its 'facist', racist', 'abuse of power' ect ect libs never quiet understand their own rank hypocricy.— PAEnglish- Comment removed.
Hey Batsh*t Crazy Billy Atkinson, just what is your obsession with peoples weight? Is it because you are the same body type of Jabba the Hutt? hahaha...try Jenny Craig you fat POS!— Les Ismore- I think we have much more to worry about with the current dimwits in office than a tea party candidates views on sex. Will the thrill seems to get his kicks picking out the obscure issues. She wont win the nomination, but even if she did, she would be 100x better than Biden and any goon dem currently in any office.— jphil
- she does look alot like Julia Louise Dreyfuss— Les Ismore
- Tea Baggers and conservatives are useless piles of dung. georgel, not only does that sound like a threat, but please tell us the Republicans' track record on jobs from 2000-2008? LOL...I know the answer: none.— RightWingHypocrite
- Delaware Jim should really attmept to explain why taxing one group at a higher rate will lead to another groups wage increases. Clinton raised taxes and the decline of the middle class continued.— RG
- Is that a current photo of O'Donnell??? She looks amazing for 41 - I guess clean living has its advantages (not that I would know).— bird11
- Comment removed.
- Les - I left a couple of sincere questions for you on last blog that I hope you get a chance to look at.— bird11
- Well, I'm exasorated as well. As an economically conservative, socially moderate voter, I pretty much have no one to vote for! My choices are between one party who wants to inflict their conversative religious views on me (frankly, I'll find out if God is angry with me when I meet him, and I'd like to think the meeting will go ok) and another party that wants to take my hard-earned money (for which I've worked two jobs, 80 hour work weeks, life in hotel rooms, etc ) and give it to those that I venture to guess have not sacrificed as much as I have. This really does giving meaning to the phrase "lesser of two evils!".— CupOrBust
- CupOrBust- the lesser of two evils is still evil.— bird11
- Will is so full of hate and contempt. Why not post about your own ideas or thoughts (say, a defense of Obama's porkulous or Obamacare), rather than just bashing people and groups. It's very negative and very sad.— Bud Fox
She has BJ lips- Bird11 - sadly, you're right. And to echo your comments and others, my big problem is that $250k is really not "rich". I'm not quite there, but I know plenty of co-workers and neighbors that are probably pretty close factoring in two people earning $125k each. They've worked really hard to get there. And frankly, what it means is a slightly better house that the bank mostly owns; probably two nice cars in the BMW range (I'm not talking Ferraris here); the abilty to pay for your 2.2 kids college education and save for a comfortable retirement; maybe a shore rental / time-share or if they're really a good saver, a 2nd vacation home. No one I know owns villas in France, flies on private jets or throws parties with Samantha Ronson as guest DJ. But yet we're expected to foot the bill for Obama's socialization of America!— CupOrBust
- Cup and bird, the worst part is the tax hike is only expected to bring in $700 billion-over ten years. So its ten year revenue stream is still less than half of this years deficits. These a--hats running the country refuse to realize its a spending problem, not a revenue one.— RG
- "Clinton raised taxes and the decline of the middle class continued." Except that it didnt. http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2010_09/025578.php— Les Ismore
- Bird, I responded to your comment down thread...but will be on this one for a bit.— Les Ismore
- Les, that graph shows nothing about tax rates under Clinton and middle class wages adjsuted for inflation.— RG
- "the decline of the middle class continued." the graph proves otherwise.— Les Ismore
- Comment removed.
- "the graph proves otherwise." No it doesn't. My goodness Les, are you serious? It says nothing about Clinton, tax rates, and real wage growth in the 90s. Middle class stagnation has been happening for deades for multiple reasons.— RG
- "Tea Baggers and conservatives are useless piles of dung." -- RWH, founding member of Hate America First.— IggleFan68
- RG- My goodness, you are right! Oh, and I never said it did. But we can get into the debate about the effects on growth during the Clinton admin of tax cuts and tax increases....easy to find on "the google" and also, if you prefer your metrics sliced differently, the growth of income for the middle class during the clinton years vs. the bush years.— Les Ismore
- "Dubbed “median wage stagnation” by economists, the annual incomes of the bottom 90 per cent of US families have been essentially flat since 1973 – having risen by only 10 per cent in real terms over the past 37 years." http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/1a8a5cb2-9ab2-11df-87e6-00144feab49a.html— RG
It could be construed as just a tad bit sexist to ask a woman a question about promiscuity -- ever think of that, Will? I notice you haven't asked others you've interviewed the same question.- Can we get back to the important issues, like whether the turnpike was paid for with private funds?
- I am amazed what gets censored here.— freak
- "like whether the turnpike was paid for with private funds?" Don't get me started.— RG
- D'oh! "The health-care overhaul enacted last spring won't significantly change national health spending over the next decade compared with projections before the law was passed, according to government figures released Thursday. The report by federal number-crunchers casts fresh doubt on Democrats' argument that the health-care law would curb the sharp increase in costs over the long term, the second setback this week for one of the party's biggest legislative achievements." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704362404575480161749608830.html?mod=WSJ_hps_MIDDLETopStories— RG
- ==]] Don't get me started. [[== Indeed, because if you did, then RG might post laughable comments such as this: --snip-- No, TPS the original PA turnpike was privately built. --snip-- --snip-- In 1937, the governor signed a bill to create the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission during a period when the nation was still recovering from that era's depression. President Roosevelt supported the construction on the turnpike to lower unemployment through his WPA. Since bankers were skeptical of supporting the unproven nature of a toll superhighway, the project wound up being financed by a loan from the New Deal's Reconstruction Finance Corporation for almost $41 million at 3.75 percent. The WPA would also provide another $29 million in grants. --snip-- I'm still laughing about that one.— Talking point sleuth
- Has anyone else noticed that bile.atkins is obsessed with Will's clothing and his physique?— Talking point sleuth
- RG - you are actually sugar coating the article. Before HCR they projected a 6.1% increase in cost now with HCR the increase will be 6.3%. HCR has actually INCREASED health care cost.— bird11
- Nice. And no doubt, the Attytood defend, deny, and diminish boyz will continue unabated: --snip-- HUDSON — City detectives are searching for the vandals who spray-painted a racial slur on a local mosque and an anti-government obscenity in an alley near the house of worship, according to police. Hudson Lt. Lynne Finn said the vandalism occurred sometime between midnight and 5 a.m. Wednesday at the Hudson Islamic Center on North 3rd Street. The epithet was left on the rear of the mosque while the anti-government rant was spray painted on a wooden fence in an alleyway adjacent to the mosque at the corner of North 3rd Street and Long Alley, Finn said. Finn said both were done with red paint. --snip-- No doubt, there is no Islamophobia there - only people concerned about the "hallowed ground" of upstate New York.— Talking point sleuth
- TPS - yes, in fact it is quite worrisome. Actually Batsh*t Crazy Billy Atkinson is quite large himself....think Jabba the Hutt with even more "things" spraying from his mouth.— Les Ismore
- I hate to copy a whole post from another blog but this was posted by Josh Marshall over at TPM and pretty much sums up how we got to where we are with this crazy guy (recently deported from Germany for his hijinks there).------------- "Speaking just now on MSNBC James Zogby made a very good point -- and pressed Andrea Mitchell on it. His point was that sure, this Pastor Jones fool is one guy, who's managed to get worldwide attention for his stunt. But you cannot separate him, as I noted below, from the whole climate of hate speech and anti-Muslim agitation from the Newt Gingriches and the Sarah Palins and the rest of them. At that point, Mitchell jumped in and said, wait, Palin said she disagrees with the Koran burning. To which Zogby replied, something to the effect of 'C'mon'. ANd that's just the right reply. This is the standard approach of race haters and demagogues. They keep stirring the pot, churning out demonizing rhetoric and hate speech. Then some marginal figure does something nuts and suddenly ... oh, wait, I didn't mean burn Korans. Where'd you get that idea from? We were just saying that Islam is a violent, anti-American religion and that American Muslims should stop building their mosques and focus on apologizing for 9/11 and maybe get out of America. But burn the Koran? No way. That's a bit much. Actions have consequences. This isn't about one guy. --Josh Marshall"— Les Ismore
- amg-what a classy post!First, I guess the militant homosexual agenda as often shown in San Francisco is a much better ideal. I believe I stated aspiring to virtue is goal. I don't believe she said it was a legislative agenda. So again, another red herring from the left. As for my dog, he was very sick. My point was that he was smarter and more capable than the mental midget in the WH or "Plugs" Biden. Even the left wing is abandoning them.— georgel
- I'm cringing as I write this, but TPS, a couple of acts of stupid vandalism does not make the country as a whole phobic about anything. If it did, we would also be Jew-phobic, Italian-phobic, Asian-phobic, homsexual-phobic, and on and on and on.
- This is too funny, in fact, I think they are joking......"the AP reports that promoters for the Palin/Beck rally seem to want to downplay this perceived 9/11 profiteering: Event promoter Christopher Cox says the 9/11 date is a coincidence. Cox originally eyed Sept. 4, but didn’t want to compete with the Alaska State Fair. Cox says Beck will be introduced by Palin, a potential 2012 White House contender who hasn’t announced her political intentions. Palin spokesman Doug McMarlin didn’t immediately return requests for comment.".....You know, they really do think you're stupid.— Les Ismore
- when I need cheering philly commenters are the best. after a dozen or so remarks I am laughing and flying higher than "nite train espress" could ever take me. philly people are the brightest and wittiest in thw world.— Miss M.
- Les, I've read your 4:17 post several times and all I get from it is that you aren't that big a fan of free speech. Or at least free speech for all. Somebody is burning the Koran and another guy 1,000 miles away spray painted a mosque - so no more discussion of the radical elements in Islam - we should probably just forget 9/11 ever happened, some idiot in Pittsburgh killed 3 police officers so we better never discuss gun control again, McVeigh blew up a building so lets never discuss the federal government or Waco, an abortion doctor was killed so that discussion is off the table, pretty soon all we will be able to say is "nice weather today"....oh wait I almost forgot the Discovery Channel shooting. Maybe we should just live in silence.— bird11
"As a church, we need to teach a higher standard than abstinence. We need to preach a righteous lifestyle." Righteous according to whom? Your great ghost in the sky? I worship the almighty Lucifer, and my idea of righteous is a little different. In fact, I was just thinking of getting all righteous with O'Donnell, Julia Louise Dreyfuss, and the mannequin that looked like Elaine. Righteous, baby!! Relax bible thumpers, I'm just joking...about the mannequin.— one_eyed_jack- Comment removed.
- CupOrBust... your 2:53pm post gets my vote for best of the day. People like Bird11 find it easier to cry, criticize, and try to take from those better off than they are, rather than work to become more successful. No pride, I guess.— Catch22
- Catch22????? Huh?? Where do I advocate taking from anybody??— bird11
- ==]] TPS, a couple of acts of stupid vandalism does not make the country as a whole phobic about anything. [[== Agreed, bucky. The problem is when people who aren't Islmophobic fail to condemn nut jobs like this one, or equate what nutjobs like this one do to building a community center to replace the former Ground Zero Burlington Coat Factory. We have large segments of the country doing the later, if not the former. Too bad. This would be a great opportunity for the country to unite in expressing that this fool, in no way, is analogous to the Park51 project. When that fails to happen, you get racist vandals. The vandals aren't a symptom of widespread Islamophobia - they are a symptom of the vast moral failure of "conservatives" who are trying to exploit irrational fear if Islam and bogus equalizing all Muslim with violent extremists (see RG's post if you want an example).— Talking point sleuth
- --snip-- Event promoter Christopher Cox says the 9/11 date is a coincidence. --snip-- Oh, my sides.— Talking point sleuth
- "When that fails to happen, you get racist vandals." Yes, my failure to condemn led to racist vandals. Jeez the d-uchemeter just went off the scale.— RG
- ==]] Yes, my failure to condemn led to racist vandals. [[== Too funny, RG. Actually, your failure to condemn racist vandals has no significance other than to show how you'll pander to just about anyone as long as they hate Obama. Oh, and to provide laughs once again. Try reading what I write before you "respond," next time.— Talking point sleuth
- "they are a symptom of the vast moral failure of "conservatives" who are trying to exploit irrational fear if Islam and bogus equalizing all Muslim with violent extremists (see RG's post if you want an example)." Clear as day TPS. Vandals are a symptom of conservatives failures. You've gone full moron again, on the record. No walking this back. And could you kindly show me where I pander to the vandals?— RG

- Yet another 'conservative' who is only to happy to use the federal gov't to intrude upon your personal life in some very profound ways and takes up positions that clearly have been debunked by mounds of public health evidence such as the nonsensical position that absistence-only education works. When you let a moral minority legislate morality in this country it often ends in disaster as these idiots see the world only as they want to see it, not as it truly is.— MG77

- What's amusing is all the people who are claiming that the Tea Party is new and just wants government out of their lives, yet they put forth candidates who support views like this lady. Way to go, conservatives. Let people do your thinking for you as long as the candidate is white, you'll support them. If they're not white, but Glenn Beck says they're ok, you'll still vote for them. Once they put forth any policy, they lose your interest though.— HandNik
- ///This would be a great opportunity for the country to unite in expressing that this fool, in no way, is analogous to the Park51 project.//// Were you sleeping under a rock this past week? Because that's EXACTLY what people did. Sean Hannity had the pastor on and exposed him for a fool. General Petraeus, President Obama, even Sarah Palin, even Glenn Beck all said that the burning of a Koran was wrong and offensive and didn't want the pastor to go through with the plan. However, to try to claim that there is nothing analogous between the Koran burning and the NYC Mosque shows an ignorance beyond comprehension. An analogy means a shared similarity, not an exact duplicate (you still seem to be struggling with this). Just the simple point about both cases being protected by constitutional rights (freedom of speech, freedom of religion) means the two cases are similar, hence analogous.
- ///Let people do your thinking for you as long as the candidate is white, you'll support them.//// Right HandNik. The Tea Party only wants white people. That explains why the Tea Party supported Nikki Haley, an INdian-American, in of all places, South Carolina.
- Come on people, you may have been born at night, but were you born last night? These holier-than-thou self-righteous pontificators are usually the biggest frauds. Has anyone seen the financial shenanigans this woman has been involved in? Mortgage default, paying personal expenses from campaign funds? Today's fundamentalist Christians are really funny. The are against sex, but they love money. People like Joel Osteen should replace the image of Jesus with Benjamin Franklin's image from the hundred dollar bill. Go Ms. O'Donnell! Join the money-changers in the temple. We need more money worshipers in Washington, D.C. defending billion dollar health insurance companies and defending oil companies that cost the taxpayers billions in clean up costs.— Sean Thornton
- Think about the Tea Party's value system. Their role model was "Joe The Plumber." A 45 year old male who still didn't have a plumbers license and owed back taxes. Joe blamed "share the wealth liberals" for his station in life. Funny, isn't it, that there are so many guys in their 20s who managed to get plumbing licenses and open plumbing businesses despite that "share the wealth liberals" who seemed to hold poor old Joe down. Are these people funny or what? Joe The Plumber was the living embodiment of the Tea Party movement. A white middle age loser who could not look in the mirror and admit that he was responsible for his own failings. Nope, for Joe and the Tea Party it has to be blacks, gays, immigrants, liberals or the Kenyan born President Obama. The sad people thankfully represent the a shrinking segment of our society. Their veiled bigotry and racism will be diluted as we become more culturally diverse in the next century.— Sean Thornton
