He is? I think the majority of America, and definitely the majority of this board, blew that off as a dumb smear campaign. The majority of America and the majority of this board blew off that he used cocaine.
it was a dumb smear campaign, but it was and still is frequently brought up among his detractors - how many times has fox news brought up the fact that he attended a madrasa? the cocaine issue did not get alot of attention - maybe b/c he was upfront about it to begin with - he wrote about his usage of it and didnt shy away like bush did. rather than be honest about it, bush set a timeframe saying "i will not discuss anything i did prior to 1975" or whatever it was. the american people have a history of giving presidents a free pass on stuff like this - for example, the majority of america and this board has blown off that bush had a male prostitute in the white house over 200 times. that should have been a much bigger story than lewinsky, but the 'biased liberal media' wouldnt touch it.
OK my point was he isn't held accountable. He largely has been able to just ignore that idiotic rantings.
He was a reporter for a right wing rag who used to be a prostitute. (some say it was a lateral career move). The substantive issue was the WH manipulating news coverage -- but the gay prostitute angle was the one that was embraced by the idiotic rant crowd.
Due to basso's successful tactic of derailing threads to obfuscate the focus from reckless GOP candidates and policies, I am quoting to re-post this tidbit.
AP story picked up by that bastion of liberal media the Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com Christine O'Donnell: OK to use $20,000 in campaign funds to pay her rent? By Ben Nuckols, Associated Press posted September 21, 2010 at 8:40 am EDT Baltimore, Maryland — Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell used more than $20,000 in campaign funds to pay her rent and other personal expenses, according to a complaint filed Monday with the Federal Elections Commission. Backed by tea party activists, O'Donnell upset longtime Rep. Mike Castle in Delaware's GOP Senate primary and will face Democrat Chris Coons in the battle for Vice President Joe Biden's former seat. The complaint filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a nonpartisan watchdog group, is the latest in a series of allegations of financial irregularities involving O'Donnell, a conservative Christian activist and frequent candidate who has not had a steady job in years. O'Donnell dismissed the allegations, saying they were the work of opponents trying to derail her campaign. "The momentum surrounding this campaign is obvious; that's why they're creating baseless accusations to try to stop it," she told reporters after a candidate forum Monday night in Middletown, Del. "I am confident that we have been ethical," O'Donnell said. "We have not, I personally have not, misused the campaign funds. We have our FEC lawyer, a great attorney, answering those charges if it ever goes anywhere." The attorney, Cleta Mitchell, said the O'Donnell campaign had not been served with the complaint even though it was posted on CREW's website. "These are outlandish allegations," said Mitchell, who described CREW as a "left-wing front group" funded by liberal financier George Soros. "If Melanie Sloan wants to deny that, you tell Melanie Sloan to reveal her donors," Mitchell added, referring to CREW's executive director. "She is not a neutral arbiter of ethics." In a March interview with The News Journal of Wilmington, O'Donnell acknowledged using campaign funds to pay half the rent at her current town home and said it was legal because of the home's dual purpose as a campaign headquarters. O'Donnell essentially used her campaign's bank card as her personal ATM, CREW executive director Melanie Sloan said, and the improper spending likely would have gone unnoticed if not for her surprise victory in last week's primary. "She never thought anybody would look at her campaign finances very closely because she was not considered a serious candidate. She thought she could get away with this," Sloan said. "Now we're talking about a candidate for U.S. Senate. That's pretty serious, and there's no reason that Ms. O'Donnell shouldn't have to follow the same rules as everybody else." The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee on Monday released an ad that attacks O'Donnell's financial history. Besides the FEC complaint, CREW sent a letter to Delaware U.S. Attorney David C. Weiss asking for a criminal investigation of O'Donnell. Through his secretary, Weiss acknowledged receiving the letter but declined to comment further. The complaint is based largely on a sworn statement by David Keegan, a former campaign finance consultant for O'Donnell. Keegan's nephew, Brent Vasher, purchased O'Donnell's Wilmington, Del., home for her in 2008 because she was facing foreclosure, according to Keegan's affidavit. Vasher began charging O'Donnell $750 a month in rent in January 2009, and in March and April of that year, she paid the rent from her campaign treasury, according to the complaint. Documents filed with the FEC show two $750 payments to Vasher during the months in question. The payments are listed as reimbursement for expenses. CREW also alleges that O'Donnell spent campaign money on gas for personal travel, meals and a bowling outing. This year, she continued to use the campaign treasury to pay rent at her new residence in Greenville, Del., which doubles as her campaign headquarters, as well as utility and wireless phone bills. The questionable 2010 expenses total more than $20,000. O'Donnell has also been subject to an IRS tax lien and has been accused of leaving a trail of unpaid bills.

indeed from today's Richard Cohen article O'Donnell is where the GOP has been heading for some time. The party's leaders have steadfastly refused to take a stand against any idiocy, even suggesting they agree that Obama might not be a Christian. Their intellectuals have supported and advanced the know-nothingness of Sarah Palin. Nothing to them is beyond the pale. This party is not fit to govern. It would support the Joker but not Batman, who hangs too much with Robin. So now it has a candidate in Delaware who truly is a career politician. She seems to have no means of support except campaign funds. She supposedly lives in her headquarters, although this is somewhat in dispute. Whatever the case, she has no job and no views worth a moment's consideration. (She even appalls Karl Rove.)
So if I'm getting this right, given that she's never been married and doesn't believe in masturbation, one can only conclude that she's never had an orgasm ... at the age of 41 ...(wow, no wonder she's nuts!)
and focusing on issues like this, as opposed to what the rest of the country actually cares about, is why the democrats will lose big in november.
Sounds like these allegations are true. If they aren't illegal, at the very least there's some funky accounting going on.
on a satanic altar. while simultaneously placing a curse on all democrats and people with a post-graduate degree
