Thread: Tea Party Candidate: Masturbation is Adultery

What is it with sexuality and the ever present conservative need to control it?


Tea Party candidate: Masturbation is the same as adultery | Raw Story

In a year when Tea Party candidates with radical positions have been staging upset victories in Republican primaries, Christine O'Donnell is one of those who, as MSNBC's Rachel Maddow put it on Tuesday, "simply freak out other Republicans."
O'Donnell, who is backed by the Tea Party Express, is running in next week's Delaware Senate primary against Rep. Mike Castle. Castle, a former governor, has been winning elections in Delaware by large margins since 1966, and in any normal year his victory would be assured. But this year, nothing can be taken for granted.
O'Donnell's views appear to be particularly extreme, even by Tea Party standards. In 1998, she told an MTV interviewer 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."


In an article written about the same time, the fiercely Catholic O'Donnell declared, "When a married person uses pornography, or is unfaithful, it compromises not just his (or her) purity, but also compromises the spouse's purity. As a church, we need to teach a higher standard than abstinence."
O'Donnell's character has also become an issue in the campaign. She recently told the Weekly Standard that she doesn't give out the location of her house because it was broken into and vandalized during the 2008 campaign -- even though there is no police report of any such incident.


"They’re following me," O'Donnell claimed. "They follow me home at night. I make sure that I come back to the townhouse and then we have our team come out and check all the bushes and check all the cars to make sure that—they follow me....They knock on the door at all hours of the night. They’re hiding in the bushes when I’m at candidate forums."


O'Donnell has recently run into further trouble for claiming that when she was the Republican candidate against Joe Biden in 2008 -- losing by 65% to 35% -- she actually won two out of the three counties in Delaware.
A conservative radio host asked her to explain what she'd meant by that remark, and O'Donnell's immediate response was, "I don't think I ever said [that]."
When confronted with audio, she went on to suggest, "What that probably was, you're on the campaign trail a lot. I mean tied. ... You have a tracker following you to trip up."
"You didn't tie him either," the interviewer insisted, at which O'Donnell exclaimed, "Oh, absolutely I did!"
"No, she didn't," Maddow commented. "She really didn't."


Maddow was joined by Talking Points Memo reporter Christina Bellantoni, who has been focusing on the O'Donnell candidacy. Bellantoni noted that in addition to the other controversies, there have been questions raised about O'Donnell's finances and whether money she is raising for her current campaign is being used to pay off campaign debt from 2008.


Bellantoni concluded, however, by pointing out that although Mike Castle is a moderate Republican who has succeeded in Delaware because of his ability to appeal to independents, his victory in this year's primary is not assured.
"There could be as few as 50,000 [Republican] voters coming out on Tuesday," Bellantoni observed. "Definitely, anything can happen."

I think you are cross thread trolling and possibly with another nemesis.





This is about candidates in a Delaware State Sen race claiming masturbation is an evil religious concept.


But I can argue with you anyway about small farmers.

Factory farming is a detrimental in every way. We would do well to return to a simpler, more local level of food production.

More than one candidate then?

Since you are from CA, I was referring to that State.

Small farmers? There are few left, thanks to your socialist unions who drive out small farmers so their big collectives can hire illegal immigrants and unionize all the workers. The small farmers left in CA were then devastated by your state's control on water supplies so the enviro-fekwits could save some minnows.

Jet, you often ask me to read something again if I do not agree with you, but surely you will see that this thread is about Delaware, not California, irrespective of where the OP is from.
You seem like an intelligent person so I will not belabour the point, suffice it to say that what is good for the goose etc...


It is a shame that these tea-baggers don\'t practise more masturbation instead of procreating.

It is quite sad to see the Republican Party being ripped apart by these semi-developed single-issue non-entities.

On the other hand, perhaps it is good so that people like me can actually identify again with a party that has been too willing to bow to every little focus group in fear of alienating the moronic rght

I'm not from CA JG .
You often interject what you think is personal info in your responses.


Unions are not the source of the demise of small farmers. The greed of Big corporate animal torture specialists and mega corp like AD Midland and Cargill are responsible for that.

IMO The unions just made sure the workers weren't treated like the animals.

WIKI Corporate farming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Critics argue that the ultimate goal of corporate farming is to vertically integrate the entire process of food production, up to the point of the distribution and sale of food to consumers. Some corporations are considered to be well on the way to achieving this objective, and have become very large in the process, such as Archer Daniels Midland, Monsanto Company, and the privately held Cargill, with 2004 revenues of $62.9 billion.[citation needed]

Agree, Ca has a shortage of water. Companies that use great amount of water, polluting it in the process are given free pass while citizens undergo restrictions and higher cost.

Someone should ask this teaparty lady if she is willing to accept votes from people who masturbate in order to win the election.

Nah, rip said before she was from CA; now she says not. I was simply using the ultra-left wing CA as a comparison -- it is a place where people feast on sensationalism, because that is what they are fed. You can toss Oregon and most of WA state in there, too. I like Delaware for its war history.
The O'Donnell masturbation issue has been dug up from the 1990s by the lefty bloggers who feed solely on slander and slimey personal attacks (unless it's someone from their own party, of course). I'm not an O'Donnell supporter, but not for her sexual views (who fekin cares?). I don't like her ultra-right views on some issues, altho I'm not happy about some of Castle's votes either.
The Tea Party is a great thing for America -- thanks to obama, it's woken folks up to the fact that the country is going the wrong way. The left does not slam its aims: follow the Constitution, cut taxes and shrink govt. It slams the people, calling them racist, bigots, etc. I'm still waiting for proof that they called black lawmakers "nigger" 15 TIMES, spit on one, called Barney a "fag". Where are the videos and why no follow-up? Plenty of leftist news crews were there.
I don't agree with all the Tea Party's political picks, but I don't agree with the GOP's either. Don't here any slime-bag news from them about dem nominee Alvin Greene tho, and he was accused and recently indicted on a FELONY charge for showing porn to a uni student.
Unlike rip, I don't read uber bloggies, either from the left or the right, because neither offer anything constructive.

Agree. Nothing constructive at all.

^ That's uber-right? I think not. I didn't read any slime personal attacks on leftists. Maybe there are; that was the first time I read it. Maybe I should do it more often and see if they come up with some real personal nasties about obama, pelosi and their ilk.

I don't really pay too much attention to the tea baggers because the delusional dribblings of pig-ignorant imbeciles aren't - on the whole - desperately interesting but this points to just how fucking ridiculous these people are: you've got some kind of half-arsed libertarianism shackled to an utterly ludicrous interpretation of Christianity which looks to moralise on everything under the fucking sun. How the fuck are those two supposed to get along? Obviously enough, they're not. It's just a convenient way of blowing off your prejudices in public. And these cretins are taken seriously. Christ on a fucking bike.

Last time I looked California had a republican governor.

Who knows maybe things have changed. She may even be into masturbation these days. Someone should ask her about this. And if she hasn't changed she should be asked if she'll accept votes from sinners to get elected.

Back in the 1990s the right wing was proudly the bible thumpers party much more than in recent years but lately I am starting to wonder if that's changing and the GOP is heading back to pointing out the sinners. I think this is an issue of importance that will affect my vote.

Bringing up the past is fair game. It's always been fair game and both sides do it.

Ah, I figured out where I got that column now, seeing as how I don't surf the Net looking for uber-right/left blogs. It was from an opinion piece on this site, which offers a range of left/right articles and some opinion pieces.

Who is unable to do anything sensible because of the totally left-wing state legislature. Face it, Arnie doesn't have the clout of someone like Christie.

the MTV video,.........





Why is she in the picture?

For all the noise, the Tea Party remains electorally untested. They are a lot more coherent at expressing a long line of grievances, than any coherent solutions. Cut tax and government spending, in a recession? Yeh, right.

I just can't see how some of the more extreme TP candidates would fare well in any rational electorate, but who knows what the mood in parts of America is now. Roll on November, it will be interesting to see.

^ Yep, cut taxes and spending, AND get the govt out of the markets. When biz knows they don't have so much red tape, it will resurrect and get on with it. The market always corrects itself, coz nobody likes to lose money, unlike obama's govt.

We end up with the Financial crisis, or the Wall St Crash before that.
Theres gotta be a balance- Deregulation has been tried, and failed quite spectacularly. Too much Regulation and red tape is bad too.

The prob with regulation, SB, is that the private sector is always smarter than the regulators. The fin crisis was caused by dems like Barney Frank, and Fannie & Freddie. The banks found a way to make $ off of these housing loans destined to fail with the derivatives they created.

If you mean the various 'Loans to the Poor' policies, they are only a small part of the delinquent loan problem though. Most delinquent loans are for middle class properties, or investors walking away from their negative equity- basically, stiffing the Bank. I'm surprised how easy it is to apparently get away with this in the states actually.

Sure stiff the bank, coz the govt will pay. Big mistake.

Carl Rove (the troll) comes down on O’Donnell. What is it with these Rethugs not paying their taxes?

The college O’Donnell went to,.had to sue her?

The Sydney Morning Herald describes it thus-

Triumph for Mad Hatter of Tea Party

"The win, by marketing consultant Christine O'Donnell, a fundamentalist Christian who once headed a national TV campaign against masturbation, is a sharp rebuke to the Republican establishment which had backed the two-time former governor and nine-term congressman Mike Castle in the race.

Until recently, Mr Castle, a moderate with wide electoral appeal, looked a certainty to win the nomination and probably wrest the Senate seat from Democrat hands in November's midterm elections.

But the recent endorsement of Ms O'Donnell by the former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, together with a big injection of campaign funds from Tea Party sources, propelled the 41-year-old to a comfortable win, 53 per cent to 47 per cent."

Triumph for Mad Hatter of Tea Party


They are certainly shaking up the Republican establishment- and thats good.
They will likely hurt the GOP at the Mid terms though- thats good too.
I wonder if there is a fallout between the GOP and Tea Party coming?
