O'Donnell Witchcraft Nonsense

I really don't like having to be the one to say this, but this nonsense being drummed up by some on the left about Christine O'Donnell, the absurd Republican nominee for the Delaware U.S. Senate seat up for grabs this November, and her supposedly past "involvement" with witchcraft, sums up to me the abject level to which our national political discourse has fallen. If she wants to go along with the other teabaggers and dismantle social security and medicare while kowtowing to corporate interests, well then full speed ahead, as far as this year's "angry" hordes of brainless lemmings (I mean "voters") are concerned. But if she is instead rejected because she had some kind of completely irrelevant short-term experience with Wicca or something related to it many years ago, then that pretty much settles it for me. Maybe those 1st Century, C.E., Essenes in Judea had the right idea after all, completely isolating themselves in remote caves far from the rest of the idiots! Maybe, though, all I have to do is just keep my television, radio, and computer off. And avoid reading the paper. After all, it is still about six weeks until the election. It can only get worse! But it's bad enough when I'm beginning to feel sympathy for a nutcase like O'Donnell...especially when she, along with several other teabaggers, could well be voting on my future (or lack thereof) during the ensuing six years.

One side note to this supposedly "grassroots" Tea Party movement. Have you noticed recently how, near the end of the Republican Senate campaigns in Alaska and Delaware, OUTSIDE endorsements and money mysteriously suddenly flooded in supporting the teabaggers against the more established Republican candidates? How is that "grassroots" politics?!
