Delaware GOP Senate candidate and tea party sensation Christine O'Donnell torched "ruling-class elites" and their "anti-Americanism," in her debut on the national stage Friday, encouraging the room of conservatives to lead a constitutional comeback in this year's midterm election. O'Donnell's 17-minute speech before the Family Research Council's Value Voters Summit made no direct mention of her primary upset of nine-term Rep. Mike Castle Tuesday; it instead focused on the enthusiasm that's reinvigorated the conservative movement in the two years since President Obama took office. "The conservative movement was told to curl up in a fetal position and just stay there for the next eight years, thank you very much. Well, how things have changed," O'Donnell said, to cheers. O'Donnell, who defeated Castle by a 6-point margin despite sustained attacks on her misstatements and financial troubles – past and present — repeatedly chided "the ruling class" and championed "a rowdy revolution of reason." "The small elite don't get us. They call us wacky. They call us wingnuts. We call us, 'We the people,'" she said to sustained applause. "We're loud, we're rowdy, we're passionate. … It isn't tame, but boy, it sure is good." She also addressed the personal scrutiny and criticisms she has endured since her candidacy vaulted into the national spotlight just weeks ago, when she appeared to be gaining momentum against Castle in her third shot at a Senate seat. "Will they attack us? Yes. Will they smear our backgrounds and distort our records? Undoubtedly. Will they lie about us, harass our families, namecall to try to intimidate us? They will. There's nothing safe about it. But is it worth it?" she said. "Well, let me ask you. Is freedom worth it?" she asked, as the crowd chanted "Yes." "Is America worth it?" She used her middle-class upbringing in New Jersey to briefly explain one of the most perplexing charges that has dogged her campaign — why it took her more than 15 years to earn her college degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University. "I never had the high-paying job or the company car. It took me over a decade to pay off my student loans. I never had to worry about where to dock my yacht to reduce my taxes," she said, jabbing at Sen. John Kerry for dodging a six-figure yacht tax in his home state. '"And I'll bet most of you didn't, either." O'Donnell argued that while Beltway elites are attempting to marginalize their movement, it’s conservatives who represent the core of mainstream America.

For those that are sharpening their knives, ready for the kill, I would suggest you hesitate and re read what the lady said. To my recall this is the only person on stage that is issuing a loud and clear warning for the "ruling elite". If there is anyone on this forum that is unable or unwilling to add something, encouragement, money, support to the lone voice that has finally spoken the truth, then I will be disappointed. YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT ALL POLITICIANS ARE POLITICAL CRIPPLES IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER, LOOKING FOR A SAINT TO STEP FORWARD IS FRUITLESS. The last thing I want to see here is the despicable names that were attached to Palin. Degrading a woman because she is female comes from the lowest of an unfit society.

If so, then she's nothing but yet another red herring! All in good time, just as with any new face on the political scene. Starting from a negative is always a difficult bias to overcome. Many of us here took Paul at his word, went with him to the starting gate, he was anti war, anti government, etc etc, all positive, then he did a swan dive. So we cut him loose. That is the nature of politics. Saintly politicians are rare.
Cyni, here we have O'Donnell who knocked off Mike Castle and those without answers to our problems snipe at her from the safety of the 'net. We're surrounded by heroes who'd break and run at the first sound of a gun shot. Don't pay them any mind, these bitchers and moaners. They're kids themselves whose kids will be the next generation of Nubian slaves to the swarms of inferior 3rd world scum. Political correctness ensures their silence.
Lets look at your personal Internet credentials, shall we? 2) Freerepublick poster, claiming Y2K phenomena shall destroy the world. 3) PostLiberty owner and frequent poster, wherein you eventually gave it all up because.... you couldn't take the strain on your lamer ass. 4) Coming full circle endorsing EVERY godamned GOP candidate under the Sun... being protected here on 4um. But, you won't say anything about your own dismissal of personal responsibility. All you will do is kill anyone in your way.
Adios
Ding Dong the witch is dead. The wicked witch??? Please say yes. Fuck you buck.
The last thing I need is [a] Zionist and plagiarizer to beg for my dismissal. It's kinda phunney actually that you would create a post so quickly since you OWN a Internet chit-chat channel. Don't you have much todo within your work fixing stuff?
it isn't "a" it is "an". I knew you were a moron.
Zionist... go kiss Palin's ass and her swallowers.
Am I supposed to have my feelings hurt because buck the atheist said something mean?
Yes.... and beyond that.. notice JT has not suggested anything about the truth of my observations and comments. He just ignores his own or personal past posting history, similar to the WHACK-OFFS in politics,similar to you.
Number 4 isn't accurate. He endorses tea party candidates. You know the conservatives that are taking rino seats. Specifically what do you disagree with Palin on. Not counting the war. I disagree with her on that too. But it isn't really an issue as the Democrats keep the war going too.
See that Israeli flag in the background? No? How about this: Consistently, Palin and her fuckedupped political pals place Israel above American interests.
First off the flags are side by side. Second I heard they were photo shopped. If you have a live video of her wearing the pin I will take a look at it. Why are you so obsessed with a tiny little country in the middle east?
Yeah. All you croons for her ass say the same thing. I am not. Israel represents a serious problem about past, present and future international relations around the world as the US formally tip-toes around Israeli abuses within the Gaza strip, Jerusalem and all points North, East South and West. America should be looking after and for our own. Not spending BILLIONS to protect a wanna-be nation that can't go anywhere without sucking our government teat.
The money we give Israel is a tiny percentage of the money the govt brings in. Don't get me wrong. I would welcome cutting all foreign aid. But that alone will not solve the problems our country faces. I was against original gulf war. Against all Clintons wars. Against all Bushes wars. I am for bringing the troops home and securing our own border. Fortress America. I'm for canceling the national debt and putting the burden of repayment on the individuals who passed the laws to spend that money. I think that spending and placing the repayment burdens on our children and their children is immoral and evil and unconstitutional. I think congress only has the ability to spend during their term.
So why is America FORCED to pay taxes or tribute to Israel through our own government if they are so small in scope? Then start considering methods and procedures ABOUT all foreign intrigue. Why? I wager you have NEVER fought in a war, much less trained to perform the same on a professional basis. Yet, you croon and bally-hoo over new warmongers taking political leadership in America. Often, I sense you are not capable to understand the methods and procedures of how a government is run. When bias and bigotry is brought into the political goals, especially for the world's most powerful nation, there is a BACKDRAFT. I refuse to vote or participate for any GOP/DEM party member. I maintain this same posture since 1992. Then don't vote for bullshitters without principles FIRST! And this means, third parties are the forefront of America's future.

Last time I voted third party was Peroutka in 2004. I also voted for H.Ross Perot in 92. The reality though is that a D or an R is going to be elected. Best to try and get a good candidate in the primaries. The primaries are open to all Americans.
