[quote name='IRHari']Dude, you're
ing batshit. Christine is absolutely right about this one:

Fixed.
I'll give an example to show the problem with Christine. I was at a candidate forum in 2008 at Delaware Park. It was hosted by a local doctors association and all the big candidates were there. Mike Castle, Bill Lee, Hartly, etc. There were approximately 50-70people in attendance
Christine was a realtive unknown to people outside republican circles. I had been around her long enough to sense there was something wrong with her, but I was still giving her the benefit of the doubt back then. Most of the people had never heard of her and were highly educated doctors and medical personel. I was sitting at a round table with six other people, all doctors.
So Christine comes up, and you've seen her in news clips. She young, attractive, a pleasant speaker, and when she has prepared remarks, she can be convincing. She gives a prepared speech for four minutes, and it's pretty good. All of a sudden, there's a buzz in the room, because there had been stories about her before. People weren't expecting such an articulate and professional speech. A doctor sitting next to me was mightily impressed.
So then comes the first question from the audience. "Mrs. O'Donell. What is your opinion of the surge? Do you support it and do you support the Iraq war."
She pauses for a second and then says something that I will remember for the rest of my life.
"Well, the real reason we're in Iraq is because of Iran. Iran is full of people that hate America. What we need to do is shift our focus from Iraq to Iran and go in there and take those people out."
The room gasped. Peoples jaws dropped. Every single person sitting at my table was stunned. I had seen things like that in audio and video clips but I had never actually been in the room for anything like that in person in my political life. The doctor sitting on left who was initially impressed looked like he just ate something foul.
She has an outward persona as increadibly nice and sincere. That gives people a great first impression. But behind closed doors, as you get to know her more and she drops that persona, she begins to act more erratic and emotionally unstable. She sees conspiracies everywhere. Just because you're a pleasant and sincere does not mean you're a fit person. There are a few nice and sincere people who also keep 60 cats in their house. She will tell anyone anything they want to hear and when caught in the lie she will find some way to rationalize it. Oh, I was young. Oh, my position changed. Oh, everyone does that. Oh, it was a mistake. Over and over and over. And then, when you finally confront her about all those lies, she accuses you of being one of "those" people that were against her fron the start and working to bring her down from the inside.
Yet people around the country, who don't know her at all, just know she's the Tea Party candidate and she unseated that liberal Mike Castle, have sent her 2 million dollars.
