I can't wrap my mind around anyone taking Christine O'Donnell seriously for anything, especially as a publicly elected official. It's people like her that hold this country back, and not just a little bit either, a dramatic, staggering amount. Can you imagine her getting to vote in matters of war or health care, or gay rights?

Unfortunately, there's a good chance that other only fringe-y Tea bag candidates will be elected and their ideas are just as counter-productive as O'Donnell's.

DeMint is poised to become one of the most influential senators in Washington. He's worse than O'Donnell because he shares her views, but SEEMS less of a wackjob, plus he has seniority and knows how to wield power. O'Donnell is but a symptom of how a highly motivated minority within what's still the minority party can set much of the agenda for the whole country.

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance lol that was funny. I was in Target today, and they were selling a children's edition of that book by Glenn Beck called the "Christmas Sweater". It made my gums itch and my skin crawl.
