Oh.. more faux intellectualism from the resident Jester ... another failed attempt at discrediting the messenger.
I don't even know what the above means. It makes no fucking sense.

Good, then it means all of this bullshit will have ZERO effect on the voters of Delaware. Glad you admit that, moron!
She's not running against Biden this time, she is running against an outright Socialist Marxist, who should be running on the Communist ticket instead of as a Democrat.
And here's what I know, she kicked the ass of the next closest Republican in the race, who also happened to be the candidate who won the last election and was the incumbant. It's sort of like, if Hillary beat out Obama for the DNC nomination in 2012, then people started saying she had no chance of winning the general election... makes no sense that O'Donnell has "no chance" because of what she has done already... but believe what you want to believe. We'll see in about 6 more weeks, what the people of Delaware decide. As of now, she has raised about $2 million in a couple of weeks, just by being in the news. Hardly something you'd expect from a "joke" who has no chance of winning.
I never said otherwise.
I was simply answering your question. And why do you claim that Chris Coons is "an outright Socialist Marxist?" Because you read the title (and not the text) of an op-ed he wrote for his college newspaper over 25 years ago?
Well, the voters in the Republican primary are quite a bit different from the voters in the general election so saying she can win the general because she won the primary is fucking stupid.
It makes sense that O'Donnell has a less than good chance (I never claimed she has no chance) based on what every single poll out there says about this race.
And pointing out the O'Donnell has raised a lot of money is also pretty stupid. It just goes to show that there are a lot of crazy fuckers in this country. Let's see how much of that money comes from people that will actually vote in the election, Delawareans, before we get excited about her raising a lot of money.

Well excuse me, but the non-stop 24/7 media bashfest from liberals and establishment republicans, trying to gin up a controversy over her comments about masturbation and wicca, lead me to think they believe this would be potentially damaging to her politically... isn't that why they did it?
Not really, his stance on the issues pretty much clarifies that he is a Socialist Marxist and should more appropriately be running on the Communist Party ticket. I don't really bother reading (or put much stock in) what a pinhead wrote 25 years ago, or last week, to be honest.
I didn't say that, and yes, that would be a stupid assumption. However, the Republican voters in this primary were essentially the same as the Republican voters in the last primary, where Castle won the general. That was my point.
Well the thing is, polls don't get to vote in the general election, people do.
Again, I never argued that her raising a lot of money guarantees she will win an election. My point (which you continue to miss) is that she is not some "joke" or "fluke" candidate, not raising that kind of cash in such a short time. It's obvious she has tremendous support out there, and to discount her as some flaky nutjob who doesn't have a chance, is a mistake. I think she wins the general election, and stuns everybody on election night... just my gut feeling. I think the voters (like you articulated earlier) don't really give a shit about her past, or things she has said in the past. I think they are largely looking for someone to buck the establishment and shake things up, and that sure as hell ain't going to be Coons.

What is "mastrubation"? I'm familiar with masturbation, especially the mental masturbation so beloved by the right, but what the hell is mastrubation? Is it a word, or is it like writing "loose" when the context demands "lose," or "are" when the writer means the first person plural possessive pronoun "our."
And no, none of us know who Onan was, but he was allegedly killed by God because he disobeyed his father by refusing to impregnate his dead brother's wife, instead practicing coitus interruptus and "spilling his see upon the ground". The sin of Onan wasn't self-gratification, but refusal to do his duty as ordered by his father. In the seventeenth century, it became a euphemism for masturbation, as well as coitus interruptus, and has been used by sexually repressed evangelical busybodies as justification for proscribing both practices, as well as any form of birth control, because according to their medieval superstitions, sex is only allowed for procreation, and of course, even those of us who do not adhere to their idiotic dogma are expected to live our lives according to their precepts and religious law.
Gee, that sounds familiar. I seem to recall the fundies getting their knickers in a twist over the very notion that a religion they do not follow or even respect might implement their own religious law in the United States. The horror! Being forced to accept a religious doctrine to which one does not subscribe! I almost hope Sharia Law does come about in the US, just so you sanctimonious pricks can get a healthy taste of your own vile medicine. The Christian rights biggest fear is that somewhere, somehow, despite all their efforts to the contrary, somebody is having a good time. I think I can speak for the nonreligious minority, when I say we find your hateful ossified dogma, which has almost nothing to do with the teachings of Christ, every bit as obnoxious as you find Islamic Sharia Law, and I know I speak for all nonbelievers and disbelievers when I say to fundies both Christian and Islamic; "a pox on both your houses."

Not what Rasmussen says, and righties know they're the gold standard of pollsters.
Democrat Chris Coons holds a double-digit lead over Republican hopeful Christine O’Donnell in the first Rasmussen Reports post-primary survey of the U.S. Senate race in Delaware.
Coons earns 53% of the vote to O’Donnell’s 42%, with leaners included. One percent (1%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.
The Delaware race is now viewed as Solid Democrat in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings.

No, but I'm also not so old that I forgot how to spell. Since you didn't read the rest of my post, the word is masturbation, not mastrubation. I don't pick on typos, because i make a ton of them myself. Consistently spelling a word wrong or consistently misusing a word is another story. Call me anal., but that bugs the shit out of me.
BTW, how I spent my teenage years? Teenage years? It's how I spent yesterday, for crying out loud.

As one spelling nazi to another, that was one unnecessarily long-winded post there, Zoom. Now people are going to lump me in with the utter douchebags when they speak of me...

I have to add ... the thought of O'Donnel shouldn't bother the left at all.. remember its the left who made this front page news. Its the left that have chased Christians out of the public square and are now preaching tolerance towards a religious law that violates every aspect of Classical liberalism.
I believe the only reason why Modern Liberals are merely mouthing these words of sudden tolerance toward Islams sharia is as simple as using it as a tool against The Sudden Uprising of Buckley Conservatism.. courtesy of your local Tea Party.
However, I do agree with you in principle.. Much of the Christian Teaching going on in this Country and for that matter around the globe, has little to do with the Teachings of Christ. I actually heard a Self described avowed born again Christian on the radio ..who shares a mike with a host of a local talk radio show, use the word hate towards drug addicts and slut towards young women who get in trouble. Made me want to vomit.
I agree with this sentiment as well. The attitude of hating the sin while loving the sinner seems to have gone out the window. Even in Christ's most strong language, He never used such words to describe the people He was dealing with. He called the scribes and Pharisees "hypocrites" when pointing out their perversion of the Jewish religion. He didn't talk demeaningly about the harlot the people would have stoned...He did tell her to "sin no more" so He didn't accept her sinfulness and say it was OK either. We Christians need to truly use Him as our example of dealing with people. He never accepted sin but He never used language that someone else could use to condemn Him or that would drive them away. It really hurts when I see someone claiming to be a "Christian" use such un-Christlike language to address describe folks.
WOW you got me! I put the "r" before the "u" in a word...and yet amazing at it is you managed to know which word was in question!
Onan was "self" gratifying himself. The idea that he was going to enjoy sexual relations, but not fulfill his family responsibilities supports this view. The Jewish law required male family members to marry the widows of other male family members as a way of provision for women and to allow their deceased relatives prodigy to continue by way of the first born. In ancient tribal societies women were to be cared for and protected...having children was held in the highest of regard and the children of such women actually passed on the name and the right of inheritance of the deceased husband, not the one who married her after. Onan's refusal to care for his deceased brother's wife; who included providing his brother an heir...was PURE SELFISHNESS in Jewish society...masturbation then, viewed in this context as selfishness (note to asshole correct spelling)
That said Onan's actions do not really provide a clear and or perfect marriage between his actions and the literal definition of masturbation.

It was taught by the early church that those who were virgins or celibate were closer to Jehovah and only to marry if you could not avoid the temptation of sex.
I like to stay out of people's sex lives, unless they choose to make it a public, as being an activist and then becoming a candidate for political office,in that case, I want them to keep their religion off my body! and out of my personal business!
