Watchdog: Christine O'Donnell "Clearly a Criminal" Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, today filed a pair of complaints concerning Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell's use of more than $20,000 in campaign funds for personal expenses. "Christine O'Donnell is clearly a criminal, and like any crook she should be prosecuted," CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan said in a release. "Ms. O'Donnell has spent years embezzling money from her campaign to cover her personal expenses. Republicans and Democrats don't agree on much these days, but both sides should agree on one point: thieves belong in jail not the United States Senate." CREW is requesting that the U.S. Attorney's office in Delaware open a criminal investigation and asking the Federal Election Commission to audit O'Donnell's campaign expenses. The group said its allegations are tied to former O'Donnell aide David Keegan's affidavit stating O'Donnell, who has run for Senate three times, paid her rent for two months out of campaign funds in 2009 and also used campaign funds for meals and gas. In addition to misappropriation of campaign funds, CREW argues that O'Donnell is guilty of lying about the expenditures and committed tax evasion by not reporting the money as income. Representatives for O'Donnell, whose financial disclosure form said her earned income between March 2009 and June 2010 was just $5,800, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. At the Values Voter Summit Friday, O'Donnell said it was worth running for office despite the fact that people "smear our background and distort our record" and "lie about us, harass our families, name call and try to intimidate us." O'Donnell has faced a variety of criticisms over her personal finances, some of which she responded to on her website. (The alleged campaign finance violations are not among the issues addressed.) On CBS' "The Early Show" last week, she said, "of course in this economy I've fallen on hard times. But I worked hard. I sacrificed. I made the decision that I needed to make things right." CREW's Sloan said on CNN in advance of the release of the complaint that it's decision to target O'Donnell was not grounded in partisan politics, noting that her organization had called for Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel to resign over ethics violations. (She also discussed the complaint on CBS News, at left.) "We're about right and wrong and not about black or white, Republican or Democrat," she said. "And it is flat-out wrong for a candidate for the U.S. Senate to be stealing her campaign funds and be using them for personal use." In an Election Day robocall on behalf of O'Donnell primary opponent Rep. Mike Castle, O'Donnell's 2008 Senate campaign manager Kristin Murray said, "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," Murray added.

I don't follow this stuff closely; is she married? Maybe she has a sugar daddy.
Nope. Never has been.
Well, given her statements about pre-marital sex (along with masturbation), this would make her "the 40-year-old virgin" (she's 41).
Just to illustrate the level to which our civic debate has fallen. I think it is interesting to contemplate the fact that it is common knowledge that while she is not married, she does NOT masturbate. Ever. Honest.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx once in a while and I'm not running for office. [Edit]
didn't she mention she became religious after a wild college life?
It's possible that she's become a born-again virgin, like Bristol Palin.
So Skip, what are you, about 6 foot? Do you like Pine or redwood?
Clinton and Cuomo are the true bandits who lit the fuse to this economic crisis we're now in. All in the name of getting more minorities in houses: http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=12554
What are you trying to say Nebby?
Truthfully, I don't spend time listening to her. I caught the clips about the evils of masturbation, the need to stay pure, and the dabbling in witchcraft stuff. And I got a good chuckle out of those. If she's really as straight-laced as she professes to be, then I hope she had a wild college life.
Make it 6'2. I like to wiggle my toes.
He's foreign and concerned about repeating the AMERICAN Civil War, dontcha know.
I thought he lived in California and orgasms at the thought of the state going into total collapse.
You missed the human/animal breeding experiments - mice with fully functional human brains?
He probably prays for 9.5 earthquakes too. But most of us refer to it as the Civil War not the American Civil War. He undoubtedly came from a country that had it's own civil war.
Oh golly, I did miss that. Wow, I wonder if my cat ate a human brain yesterday...he caught a mouse. I hope it doesn't hurt him.
I've a sneaky feeling you don't speak for 'most of us'. It Call that war anything you want, but Southerners were smart enough to know then, what most are just figuring out today. jmho!

LOL..a human brain huh? Should have just lobotomized the poor critters...same difference...&;-)

It was a War of Agression [sic], and it was anything but 'Civil' You're not southern. It IS (not was, IS) the "Great Northern War of Aggression." You blew it.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
It IS (not was, IS) the "Great Northern War of Aggression." You blew it. I sure did, thanks for the correction WC!

No problem. The rest of your post was spot on.

It was is, the "Great Northern War of Aggression", I doubt Nebby would have ever thought that was another term for the Civil War even if he was living in the South. Actually towns and counties in California sent troops to fight on both sides but way more for the North than South. BTW my Great Grandaddy fought for the South, a fact none of the family knew of until after he died.
You f***ing statists have been telling us since at least 1969 (when a drunken Ted Kennedy drove a young woman off a bridge) that character didn't matter. You f***ing "D" statists have been telling us since at least 1976 (when an incompetent peanut farmer became POTUS) that ability didn't matter. Your brethren, the f***ing "R" statists answered in the affirmative in 2000. You f***ing statists said "it's the economy, stupid" when a good ol' southern boy, as crooked as a dog's hind leg, became POTUS and proceeded to jack off in the WH sink and procure BJ's from interns. So yeah, now you can live with the Sharron Angles, Christine O'Donnells, Sarah Palins and Carl Palladinos You bought it, you paid for it, so now live with it. SUCKERS! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
______________________________________________________________________________ I think character matters... even yours. The Tea Partiers though seem blind to certain behaviors if the candidate originally had an "R" after their name or declare themselves to be conservative. Sort of like Nebu here.
Huh?
Is he saying he thinks the Tea Party candidates are a joke?
She is not wealthy and campaigning is actually her job right now. There is nothing unethical with her paying herself a reasonable salary out of campaign funds.
Not only IS IT unethical it's illegal.
Is he saying he thinks the Tea Party candidates are a joke? I'm saying the "joke" is on you. The "joke" is you thinking you can forever hold right-wing candidates to a different standard than your beloved statists. If character and competence doesn't matter for left-wingers, then it doesn't matter for right-wingers. The "joke" is watching you cower in fear as you anticipate a November 2 right wing takeover (which won't happen, but watching you guys cringe is fun nevertheless) The "joke" is how we devolved so far as a country that criminals like Teddy could have continued to serve terms in the Senate (rather than terms in jail) and be proclaimed a "great" man. That's a joke, however, at which the Kopechne's probably aren't laughing
______________________________________________________________________________ If you want to know why that is done look no further than the impeachment fiasco. And if that doesn't do it...Larry Craig...
Hey... a way out of poverty! Run the poor for office and let them take salaries out of their campaign war chests.
I agree.... both sides should lower their standards and be as sleazy as they can. That sells lots of advertising.
I think that's what Orly Taitz is doing. Even though she lost her race for CA Sec of State she's still trying to collect money for her non-existent run. And she did manage to get her group of loons to pony up her $20,000 fine.
O'REILLY: Let them admit anything they want. But they won't do that here in the United States unless all craziness is going on. O'DONNELL: They are -- they are doing that here in the United States. American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains. So they're already into this experiment.
Actually its the Arizona Republican's program for the homeless. Mr. Pearcy, 20, is running for a seat on the Arizona Corporation Commission, which oversees public utilities, railroad safety and securities regulation. Although Mr. Pearcy says he is taking his first run for public office seriously, the political establishment here views him as nothing more than a political dirty trick. Mr. Pearcy and other drifters and homeless people were recruited onto the Green Party ballot by a Republican political operative who freely admits that their candidacies may siphon some support from the Democrats.
Don't you know that's out of context?!? /sarcasm
Maybe that 'group of loons' will end up saving the constitution.
"Were you ever in the music or song writing business?" ... e_type_jagoff to Mudboy lol ..... AND ....... "But his decent into vile absurdity is still actually kind of sad and pitiful really" .... mad doggie
How can they save what they don't understand?
Don't worry, Orly explains it to them.
"Were you ever in the music or song writing business?" ... e_type_jagoff to Mudboy lol ..... AND ....... "But his decent into vile absurdity is still actually kind of sad and pitiful really" .... mad doggie
I'm sure in her case her supporters think they are getting double value, a get into heaven free card and a 'relentless' pursuer of truth. The plus side for me is one more lawyer who can't practice in California.

was is, the "Great Northern War of Aggression", and it was anything but 'Civil', and what most today are too stupid to understand, the feds today are doing what they did to the south then....slavery would have died out on it's own, it was on it's way out anyway, southerners were smarter than yanks, cause they knew that once they lost States Rights, it would be nigh on impossible to get them back...just look around today and see who is in control over every state in the union!
