O’Donnell, the would-be Tea Party Republican candidate for Senate in Delaware, has been a lightning rod for various controversies. First was the innovative way O’Donnell referred to her collegiate history. Then the born-again Protestant took a bath in the washtub of public opinion over her publicly revealed views against masturbation. The Christian Science Monitor accounts that O’Donnell has added even more color to the quilt, so to speak. Christine O’Donnell had some witchcraft stories to share on a 1999 episode of the Television show “Politically Incorrect”. To be most specific, she told the guest panel that she had “dabbled in witchcraft”.
Christine O’Donnell’s witchcraft remark may indicate Wicca
Christine O’Donnell may not know witchcraft, reported by the Wiccan information accessible at the Australian site Witchcraft.com. Elaborating within the video clip below, she claims she went on a date where there was a “Satanic altar” present. According to Witchcraft.com, Wicca is a term intended to counteract society’s negative stereotypes for that religious faith. Celebrations of natural cycles – from the change of season to the changes undergone by the human body – are a part of Wicca, while such cartoonish notions of “black” or “white” magic aren’t. As nature takes no sides, Wicca is also neutral. O’Donnell’s wide-eyed exclamation merely adds fuel to the comedic fire burning under her farcical candidacy in Delaware, and the GOP would like all the baggage to disappear.
What a relief: ‘I never joined a coven,’ says O’Donnell
So-called “witchcraft” was apparently a teenage phase for O’Donnell. She doesn’t presently profess to practice witchcraft, which would likely not sit well with O’Donnell’s current deity, who professes in his own sales literature to be “a jealous God”. But the current series of bizarre events in Christine O’Donnell’s political life have spurred Republican strategist extraordinaire Karl Rove to action. He has jumped on the “she can’t win” bandwagon. Republican Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana has called for O’Donnell to publicly explain her 1999 comments. While Delaware voters are the ones who will ultimately choose whether Christine O’Donnell is fit to serve the state in the Senate, Rove is seriously concerned about her “background, character, statements and previous actions,” as he recently told “Fox News Sunday”.
Governmental policies as floor exhibit
Now Raw Story accounts that witchcraft may even less essential than the latest scandal for Christine O’Donnell. The allegation is that she used $ 20,000 in campaign funds for personal expenditures. Christine O’Donnell would certainly not be unique if this allegation is proven to be true. That does not mean such corruption should go unpunished, if it is indeed the case with O’Donnell. The concept of Christine O’Donnell claiming that she’s all about responsible government spending is interesting in this case, to say the least.
