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.

QUOTE “This jackbooted thug and Tea Bagger hero being investigated by the DOJ in anticipation of prosecution for abuse of power and corruption thinks he has a chance at winning a national election.”
LoL when talking about “uniformed ignorance” don’t forget to include the voters…after all if McCain, one of the ‘Keating Five’, from the biggest saving & loan scandal of the 80’s that cost taxpayers billions upon billions can win a primary to run for President, I have to say the “uniformed ignorance” of voters seems to be limitless!
Now that Sarah Palin has officially endorsed the candidacy of Christine O’Donnell, we can boast at least two prominent politicians who are experts on the subject of diddling.
JoshOnPC,
Fear not. Mrs. OnPc’s reaction to the O’Donnell story has been the most rational to date.
At the risk of being mildly offensive or maybe inappropriate, when my wife and I read this she began rubbing her head moving slowly towards more sensual areas asking, “Ok, at what point is it adultery?” I laughed like an idiot.

oh my god … Oh My God … OH … MY … GOD!
Sounds like another Sarah Palin to me. She “nearly completed” a BA at Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1993, and finally received one (in English literature – close enough to Journalism) in 2010.
She’s young, looks sexy and sued an employer for gender discrimination and wrongful termination.
We’ll have to see how well she can wink, but I’m encouraged.
I think it’s time to clear up the heretical rantings of Ms. O’Donnell on the issue of masturbation. The concept of masturbation as sin derives from the story of Onan, who disobeyed God’s order to impregnate the widow of his (Onan’s, not God’s) brother by permitting his seed to spill onto the ground. There eventually emerged the Catholic doctrine that Onan’s act was sinful because it interfered with the natural processes of creation. Hence, the sin of onanism. I am not aware of any biblical prohibition against masturbation by women, proving either that God was playing favorites, or that the authors of Genesis didn’t give much thought to the possibility that the act might be pleasurable to women. The upshot is that I am likely doomed, but Ms. O’Donnell is depriving herself without theological warrant.

Another suggestion for a Republican Dream Team: Palin/Beck!

Palin-Beck 9/11 Profiteering Event Promoter Says Rally Date Is Just A Coincidence
by Ben Armbruster
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/09/09/beck-palin-rally-coincidence/
Excerpt:
Prominent conservatives and right-wing groups are making plans to use the 9/11 anniversary this weekend to rake in some cash. Among them are Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck, who are teaming up for a rally in Anchorage, AK. The right-wing duo are charging attendees between $74 and $225 to hear them speak. The Hill reported, “There was no indication as to whom or what the proceeds will go.” And, the AP reports that promoters for the Palin/Beck rally seem to want to downplay this perceived 9/11 profiteering:
Event promoter Christopher Cox says the 9/11 date is a coincidence. Cox originally eyed Sept. 4, but didn’t want to compete with the Alaska State Fair.
Cox says Beck will be introduced by Palin, a potential 2012 White House contender who hasn’t announced her political intentions. Palin spokesman Doug McMarlin didn’t immediately return requests for comment.
Buddha- I’ll keep tossing ’em and you keep hitting ’em out of the ballpark!
Remember this line from Annie Hall?
“Hey, don’t knock masturbation! It’s sex with someone I love.”

When you start talking about how people smell and how to cleanse them, (as was done above) you really have become the evil you decry. Grab back your humanity while you still can.
=================================================================
Reprimand deserved and promise to not do it again … even in jest.
HenMan,
Actually my hearing is fine. It’s my vision that is going bad. And while I’m often mistaken for close relative Chili Palmer (more due to demeanor than actual appearance), no one mistakes either of us for our mutual cousin and renowned reprobate, Harry Palmer. Talk about somebody you can’t take anywhere without causing a commotion!
That’s our Harry.
Oddly enough, Harry is the family’s lone Tea Bagger. Coincidence? I think not.
puzzling,
That’s outstanding. Her victory in the Republican primary would be great news for the Democrats.
I don’t see this posted here yet.
Sarah Palin today endorsed Christine O’Donnell.
Buddha- You said,”It’s hard to hear.” How did you lose your hearing? And, by the way, didn’t you used to be known as “Harry Palmer”? I once had a pet from the Simian family, but I had to donate him to the zoo. His behavior was very bad and I was constantly spanking my monkey.

I’m with Blouise. I like it too!
All these “dream team” tickets and nobody mentions General Curtis LeMay? Oh…he’s dead? Never Mind.
