Alan Colmes: My Pick for 2010 Quote of the Year
By Alan Colmes - AOL News(Dec. 20) -- The notable quotes from 2010 have come out, courtesy of Fred Shapiro of Yale Law School. No. 1 on the hit parade, tied with BP's Tony Hayward saying, "I'd like my life back," was Christine O'Donnell's "I am not a witch." What a way to begin a campaign ad! Imagine running for the U.S. Senate and the first thing you have to do is convince your constituency you don't have a coven. "I am not a crook" didn't work out for Richard Nixon, by the way. O'Donnell made the list twice, the other quote being, "You mean to tell me that the separation of church and state is found in the First ...
What's in the Stars for the 2010 Elections
By Barry Weintraub - AOL News
(Oct. 18) -- Some swear by astrology. Others scoff at it. But with so much at stake in the November midterm elections, we thought we'd get one stargazer's read on which candidates the astrological charts are predicting will win or lose. Former first lady Nancy Reagan blazed a trail for using astrology in modern American politics when she turned to Joan Quigley in the 1980s to help keep Ronald Reagan safe after an assassination attempt early in his first term. AOL Weird News continues that tradition this election season with one of the top young astrologers working today. Shelley ...
7 Politicians Who Claim God Is on Their Side
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Sept. 30) -- To hear them tell it, they're on a mission from God. This week, Delaware senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell declared that God himself had a hand in her long pursuit to attain political office. "God continued to strengthen and empower us when, you know, his strength is perfected in our weakness," O'Donnell told the Christian Broadcasting Network. "Because you see that if it weren't for faith, when all logic said it's time to quite, we pursued, we marched on, because we knew God was not releasing us to quit." Whether or not you agree with O'Donnell's views, the belief ...
Flawed Candidates Make 2010 the Year of Living Dangerously
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyI'm betting both parties would love to restart this campaign season and call do-overs on more than a few primaries. Maybe the choices weren't ideal, but in some very high-stakes races, the candidates who won are showing why they probably shouldn't have. This phenomenon can be found coast to coast and points in between: Connecticut, South Carolina and Florida, Kentucky, Illinois and California. In some cases, the outcome of the general-election contests is unlikely to change even with a deeply flawed winner. But in others, we're talking about real impact inside and outside a state. ...
Pro-Life and Pro-Woman: Sarah Palin's Case for Authentic Feminism
By Marjorie Dannenfelser - Politics DailyThe following op-ed by Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, is in answer to a Politics Daily opinion piece that ran last week. In her piece entitled, "Sarah Palin: Embracing Feminism, or Co-Opting it for Conservatives?" Frances Tobin continues the conversation about who is allowed to define feminism and how the label should be applied. We welcome this discussion and agree that it is a "good thing" to engage in this robust debate. Ms. Tobin, however, fails to directly rebut the arguments we have made. For years, many feminists have told women facing a crisis ...
Sharron Angle: The 5 Reasons Everyone's Talking About the New Tea Party Darling
By Carl Franzen - Politics DailyNewly minted Nevada Republican Senatorial candidate Sharron Angle, backed by the Tea Party, is very much the lightning rod. A former school teacher and member of the Nevada Assembly, her insurgent primary win last night has been embraced by both conservative and liberal political observers, the latter because they believe she will make for an easily-defeatable opponent to unpopular incumbent Nevada Senator and Senate Majority leader Harry Reid. What has Angle done to earn such staunch supporters and mocking detractors, aside from being the enduring "no" vote on the Nevada state assembly? Surge ...
