A person who thinks masturbation is evil and that you shouldn't be allowed to do it.
A person who thinks anyone to the left of her is a Socialist.
The United. States. Senate. Folks. Six-year term. She thinks there's just as much evidence for creationism as evolution, if not more.
Well, creationism, in essence, is believing that the world began as the Bible in Genesis says, that God created the Earth in six days, six 24-hour periods. And there is just as much, if not more, evidence supporting that.
Scared yet of this woman crafting laws for all Americans? You should be. You should be goddamn terrified of this woman if you disagree with her in any way. She will be making laws for all of America, for all of us. And the best part? There's a lot more where that came from.
Still think there's no reason to vote? What about Carl Paladino as Governor of the second most populous state in the country?
Carl Paladino -- a millionaire developer who has acknowledged forwarding racist and sexist emails, who has proposed turning empty prisons into dormitory space for welfare recipients, and whose state party didn't even want him on the ballot -- has won the Republican gubernatorial nomination in New York.
Think he can't win?
In April, Paladino acknowledged forwarding emails including images of bestiality and derogatory characterizations of President Obama, including one offering a video clip of African tribesmen dancing that characterized the video as "Obama Inauguration Rehearsal."
The Tea-Party backed candidate reportedly sent an e-mail depicting a horse having sex with a woman and another that included a pornographic video and the headline "Miss France 2008 F[***]ing." He also reportedly sent out an e-mail depicting President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as a pimp and prostitute and one showing an airplane landing near black men with the caption "Holy Sh*t. run ni**ers, run!"
He did this and still beat Rick Lazio by over twenty points. What makes you think he didn't win specifically because he did this? What makes you think Americans don't agree with him on that?
In Orchard Park, a Buffalo suburb, Darryl Radt, who described himself as a regular primary voter, said he had come to the American Legion post to vote for Mr. Paladino “because he’s mad as hell and so am I.”
Ron Wojcik, 67, a retiree, said he was frustrated with Albany and Washington and wanted someone different. “I want somebody who’s honest and hasn’t been sucked into the system already,” Mr. Wojcik said. “The system always seems to change people.”
"Hey honey, you see this Paladino guy? Hell Martha, one of THEM'S in the White House! I like this guy, he ain't afraid to say what everyone's thinkin'!"
And so a multi-millionaire real estate tycoon bought his way onto the ticket and won votes for being a racist jagoff. Don't think he can win the general? Keep telling yourself that. Millions of pissed off Tea Party folks are going to make their votes count in November. For those of you who think the Tea Party is harmless or as one friend told me last night "It's just the pendulum swinging back the other way" then you're badly underestimating what's going on here.
The turnout models mean nothing. They are all badly underestimating the number of people now willing to vote, and vote for hard-core nutjobs just to flush out the two-party system. They're literally drinking the drain cleaner. They're blaming the Democrats and the Republicans and they want a third option. That third option is people like Christine O'Donnell and Carl Paladino.
Democrats have completely failed to tap into this anger. Now it will be used against them with devastating results. People who have never voted in anything but Presidential elections are going to be out in massive numbers in November for the Tea Party. They are pissed. They are looking to punish the system. They will vote against their own self-interests, but they will vote.
What are YOU going to do?

Since I live in New York, I will be voting against him and maybe knocking on some doors. The guy is a joke outside of the Republican base. Although, I hope that doesn't make other voters complacent.
