Christine O'Donnell - Teabagger Criminal

By now you probably know that the teabaggers in Delaware have decided they would rather have a nut as their candidate for the United States Senate than a Republican moderate with a good chance of winning.   They have nominated Christine O'Donnell, in spite of the fact that her Republican opponent was leading the Democratic candidate in all the polls.   Now O'Donnell is the Republican candidate and trails that same Democrat by double digits.

O'Donnell is just as nutty in her beliefs as the other teabagger candidates -- Sharron Angle (Nevada), Rand Paul (Kentucky) and Joe Miller (Alaska).   They have all taken the lead of their teabagger queen, Sarah Palin, and refused to do interviews with the mainstream media. I really don't blame them because the real journalists would ask about their nutty beliefs like social security being unconstitutional, repealing health care and abolishing Medicare, abolishing the Education Department, giving massive tax breaks to the rich, or teaching creationism in science classes.

But O'Donnel has another reason to avoid all the media except for Fox News (who won't embarrass one of their own with difficult questions).   She has been accused of criminal conduct.   She can't afford to be questioned about that before the upcoming election.   

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has filed a couple of complaints against O'Donnell.   CREW is accusing her of using more than $20,000 dollars in campaign funds for her own personal expenses -- things like rent, gas and food.   A former O'Donnel campaign aide, David Keegan, has filed a sworn affidavit attesting to these charges.

O'Donnell's 2008 campaign manager, Kristen Murray, also backs up the charges saying,   "As O'Donnell's manager, I found out that she was living on campaign donations -- using them for rent and personal expenses, while leaving her workers unpaid and piling up thousands in debt.   She wasn't concerned about conservative causes.   O'Donnell just wanted to make a buck."

Lending credence to the charges is a political disclosure form filed by O'Donnell.   It says that she only had $5800 in income from March 2009 through June 2010 (16 months).   I don't see how any human can live on that and pay her bills without government help like welfare and food stamps (which she says she didn't get).   

The Delaware teabaggers screwed up.   Instead of nominating a fringe kook for elected office, they have nominated a criminal.   Let's hope the decent people and voters in Delaware are smarter than the teabaggers who have taken over the Republican Party in that state.
