From George Stephanopoulus at ABC’s “Good Morning America“:
The Republican nominee for the Delaware Senate seat fired back at Karl Rove today for what she called “un-factual” accusations about her record.
“Everything that he is saying is un-factual. And it’s a shame because he is the same so-called political guru that predicted I wasn’t going to win. And we won and we won big,” Christine O’Donnell told me this morning. “So I think, again, he is eating some humble pie and he is just trying to restore his reputation.”

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 4:01pmCarl Rove, understand this We The people are not Cheer Leaders for the GOP I as many other Americans would rather engage in the fight than to lose our souls through attrition than just electing political hacks that refuse to embrace conservative values and ideas, but you can rest assured they want to sell their self as being on your side on election day Either you can embrace what is happening or become also A relic of the past

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 2:30pmEven with a majority in the house and senate the dimwit liberals accomplished next to nothing. Did they close Gitmo? Did they pass Cap & Trade? Did they get us out of Iraq or Afghan? Have they tried any terrorist? It’s a good thing for liberals that they either live in mom’s basement or off of trust funds left to them. They don’t seem to function to well in the real world.
The house and senate are about to be taken over by Conservative value Christians just like Christine and liberals will be powerless for the next 50 years. If you are a liberal you should consider moving to Cuba or China or Venezuela where your progressive ideals will be appreciated.

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 2:28pmKarl Rove has lost it. He is now pulling a “lets make the news about me” move – we have Stephie-Stephanopoulus using ammunition that Karl Rove supplied to him.
I want to check Rove’s face for a sign of a horn protruding. I generally like Carl, but he is of the G.W. Bush mind that we needed to “abandon the free market in order to save it” – is he now saying we “need to abandon conservative principles to save them”? HOGWASH. Mr. Rove STFU and join the fight.

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 2:12pmThe conservative Tea Party movement is something our nation hasn’t witnessed in a long time. I believe that as conservatives we see the perils of divisive politics. We’re welcoming all who believe in fiscal responsibility, smaller federal government, the right to private property and the rejection of the nanny state. Whether black, white, hispanic, asian or whatever you race, only your conservative beliefs matter. You aren’t defined by your heritage, you’re defined by your character. The Tea Party has just begun.

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 2:01pmThe Republican’s are cleaning house and getting back to their Conservative roots. The Rhino’s are being picked off one at a time. Not all of them (a.k.a McCain), but most of them.
The big question is when will the Democrats do the same thing to get rid of the ultra-libral Progressives that keep wanting to “transform” America with their failed policies? Many traditional Democrats are being ignored, just as the true Conservatives in the Republican Party were.
When will they rise up and take their party back?

You could are you it is how you define the meaning of what she said, her understanding of it, She had completed all the classes and the only thing keeping her from her degree was the payment of the student loan, a graduate of the school still is they way I would think about it, but there should be, and probably is some statements on the issue explaining it more, but even this one read on it doesn’t sound like a big deal out and out lie type thing, just a financial thing.

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 2:08pmIt’s a very interesting climate we exist in politically right now. The democrats are for this massive government nanny state while the conservatives (Tea Party) are strongly pushing for limited Federal government, less spending, less government intrusion in your daily life and fiscal responsibility. As strange at this may seem, it’s kinda like the true conservatives are the ones fighting for the right to live freely and as we see fit. We are welcoming all that believe in the above platform; white, black, hispanic, all races. We, the Tea Party, are the inclusive ones. We are the ground swell. We are the new conservatives.

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 2:37pmDanglebags, how is health care a right? Anything you pay for, is NOT a right, it is a privilege of one’s hard work.
Free Speech, Right to Carry Arms, Right to Assembly, etc, are rights that is protected in our constitution. Thomas Pain, one of the founders of this country was actually the first to come up with social security but the rest of our founders knew that would give unlimited leeway for our government and people to get corrupted, as it obviously has now.
So if they said no to social security, guess what their answer will be for health care. If people want health care they need to get a job. People want social security, guess what, it should be done by the private sector, not gov. The founders knew if the government gets too big with bloated departments our country was not designed for it will collapse.
Do you not see our country collapsing? If you do not I feel sorry for you. It makes me laugh when I hear people say health care is a right. Everybody has a right to health care yes, but our government has no right to be in charge of it.
Our governments job is to protect our borders and protect the constitution. It is up to the people and the states to decide what services the people in the state want and need,

This is not a division of a party into 2 parts, it’s a union of a greater amount of people…including a heck of a lot of independents. The republican party is being left behind but it’s only the politicians that have gone missing. The people who vote (R) are still going to vote for the TP candidate, get it? But you think what? Those (R) voters are going to suddenly vote for the more left candidate in November?
