If you have not previously encountered Christine O’Donnell (who is running for the Republican nomination in Delaware), she is becoming the new face of the Tea Party and what some hope is the new Republican party. One issue that makes her stand out is her rather expansive definition of what constitutes adultery.
She is running against Rep. Mike Castle, a former governor. However, she seems more inclined to debate subjects like masturbation than most politicians, including her position that masturbation is an act of adultery. This could make for an interesting debate.
O’Donnell told an MTV interviewer in 1998 that masturbation is the same as adultery because “the Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. So you can’t masturbate without lust.” She has also written that “[w]hen a married person uses pornography, or is unfaithful, it compromises not just his (or her) purity, but also compromises the spouse’s purity.”
You have to admit this makes for a much more interesting debate than the usual fare of debating tax rates and federal jurisdiction.

““uniformed ignorance” ”
what is uniformed ignorance? Is that a policeman that failed the police exam or a Catholic school student?

Jill,
What’s up? A few weeks ago you were defending the Tea Party.
Speak the words “uniformed ignorance” and look who appears!
hopefully she will be elected. It would be worth it to see the liberals mess themselves.
At least she has sex, most liberals are so consumed by it because they never get any or cant function in the bedroom all worried about race and sex.
Blouise:
see if you can find the grammatical error.

A Tea Bagger
It’s funny but whenever I think of the terms “Tea Bagger” and “debate”, I’ve always had the subconscious reaction to think “circular masturbation”. Or is that “circle jerk”? It’s hard to hear. It is my subconscious speaking after all. But one thing rings through loud and clear when I hear pols speak like O’Donnell and that is the term “uninformed ignorance”.
The difference is the republicans are sponsoring some green candidates and bragging about it. One even ended up on the front page of the NYT. The democrats pulled back in Michigan the candidates won’t be on the ballot. Why is it that republicans can get away with “dirty tricks” and democrats can’t?
I hope a real journalist will investigate the tea party movement. In Michigan and another few states it was shown that Democrats were running and funding “tea party” candidates under false pretenses. This interference in our election process should offend those who care about voters and the integrity of our elections. Do we know where her funding comes from? I’d like to.
Just because a candidate wants to talk masturbation, doesn’t mean the press should acquiesce to the inanity. We need a press that will question authority, both R and D. We don’t have that now. We have a completely complicit press which goes along with stupid propaganda like, “The Iraq war is over” (except for the AP and a few others). Make her answer questions about real issues. Make anyone in office or running for office account for their actions–end of story.

If liberals sit home or vote for just any third party candidate, they are creating a situation in which these people takeover congress. Moving backwards is worse than the status quo.

It is imperative to keep pressing this point … these teabaggers pose a real threat to the country as a whole … I’m not going to fall into the evil trap … simply put, the teabagger policy is harmful to the majority of the population
I don’t think all the democrats are evil including Nancy Pelosi. We are not on the same page. People said there was no difference between Al Gore and Bush. With two wars and a bankrupt nation, I hope these people realize they were wrong but maybe not. The democrats are not perfect, but “the perfect is the enemy of the good”.

Generally when choosing between two evils one should pick the lesser, but what if even the lesser evil is worse than can be tolerated? That is the situation in the US, the Republican Party is beyond insane, but the Democrats are going to continue most of the policies that are destroying civil society minus the bashing of women and gays.
Geeba,
Or you could act like an adult and realize that people are sexual, even when they’re alone.
What would your think/feel if you caught your spouse/SigOther/hooker (Paid or unpaid)/ whacking or vibrating it on the sly? I imagine one would feel either cheated on or not quite up to par with their needs. At least she answered the question and didn’t circumnavigate some bs answer.
If you fantasize about your spouse while masturbating, is that still adultery?
She gives me the impression that she would endorse this product:

“However, she seems more inclined to debate subjects like masturbation than most politicians, including her position that masturbation is an act of adultery.”
It’s hard to type a comment while I’m ROFLMAO!!!
