Nothings wrong with that because you get to choose what you give up for Lent. What is wrong is taking money from the National Republican Party and the Tea Party movement (which isn’t a party btw) for national office when you [won’t talk to the national media](http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/09/22/5155817-the-midterms-odonnell-shuts-out-national-media) anymore because it’s a local race. Picnics and staged town hall meetings are more important than national issues. That and bringing back the McCarthy era [red baiting](http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/The-Vote/2010/0922/Christine-O-Donnell-rival-Is-he-Delaware-s-bearded-Marxist) tactics. I’m beginning to think that this witch is just a deversionary tactic to take our eyes off of the other luny [canidates](http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/09/13/1822265/like-father-like-son-not-always.html) they have. Hell they look down right normal compared to her. ---

Since we are talking about O’Donnell, who is a former Catholic, Catholics are instructed to abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent. It used to be EVERY Friday, Lent or not, before Vatican II. ---

Not really surprising. My home town of Waco (The Athens on the Brazos) has often led the way to theological progress. ---

He married and gets to have sex with a great looking woman who goes on to make millions and become adored by much of the population while he gets to go hunting and ride dog sleds and snowmobiles and drink beer and live happily ever after? ---

She’s the Secretary of State. Didn’t you read the the other posts in this thread? **Clothahump** ’s ignorance is proof that _their opinion is worth more than yours_ because **Clothahump** is a politcal outsider and not part of your elitist, liberal, “reading the the first sentence of the page you linked” world. Besides, I think you should be congratulating them on correctly identifying the president more than anything else. You have to reward major accomplishments like that. ---

Having heard CD talk a few times this week, I think we can safely say that she has the Delaware, conservative, valley-girl vote locked up. ---

That Valley Girlspeak virus seems to have infected an entire generation of young American women. Gotta feel sorry for the young men of our time. One of the advantages of advancing maturity is it is so unlikely that I will ever spend three hours listening to one of them in the forlorn hope that I might get lucky. ---

I just wonder about any woman who is over 40 and not married. After all, Elena Kagan is presumed to be gay. By Republican reasoning, so is O’Donnell.
