 Christine O’Donnell: ‘I’m You’Posted on Oct 5, 2010
So, Christine O’Donnell had a couple of crucial goals to accomplish in her first ad aimed at persuading the good people of Delaware to send her to the Senate: First, she needed to make it known that she’s “not a witch.” Right. Next, she buttered them up with a quite literal take on old-fashioned representative democracy by claiming, “I’m you.” This last tagline inspired a counterattack by her Democrat opponent, Chris Coons, who would like the good people of Delaware to believe that, in fact, “She is not you.” This all sounds like the makings of a midterm identity crisis. Over to you, Team O’Donnell. —KA YouTube via Political Hotsheet: Advertisement Previous item: Everyone Pile On Rick Sanchez!

Creepy. How Reps can play on sentiment when their policies are cold-blooded and self-centered (no social programs)? It’s like Dracula telling me ‘I’m you’- with soft lights and music- shudder.

ROFLMAO!
“I’m you.” Yup. If you’re a young, female, right-wing, truth-challenged, hyper-Christian ignoramus.
Peace.

I’m pretty sure she stirred the cauldron but didn’t inhale.

You’re not a witch? Prove it. What say we throw you into the Delaware River and see if you float. If you sink we’ll know you’re inncoent and maybe we won’t burn you at the stake. Thirty years of the conservative revolution has almost completely brought us back to those days- we may as well go all the way.

Nice smooth delivery but, a really ‘eww’ after taste, just the sort of thing that slips by PR hacks and leaves them wondering where they went wrong.
Report thisThe things that stick
“I’m nothing”,
“I’m pretending to be you”,
“I’m not ‘her’, she is somebody else I was pretending to be”,
“Just how would she know what I want has she even bothered ask or, even said what she would actually do”.
A frivolous person who swapped around religions until she found one she could profit by and enjoy all the republican meat balls http://1950sunlimited.blogspot.com/2010/04/1950s-american-slang-words-of-day-22.html she could get her mouth around.

Funny, hugh.. But who would you rather have in the Senate from Delaware, national headquarters of the credit card companies…
A woman, who admits she is not a Witch. Or a fast talking Yale lawyer, who the right wing is portraying as a once avowed Marxist, from the party who bailed out Wall street?
Remember, America is now a country of peak delusion, with a poplulace dumbed down and drugged up.
