Tea Party Activist Christine O’Donnell Donates to Romney, Says Movement Isn’t Being Fair to Him
EmailChristine O’Donnell, the former Republican Senate candidate and a Tea Party favorite during the 2010 election, said in an exclusive interview with ABC News that she has not only given money to presidential candidate Mitt Romney but also says she doesn’t think he is getting a “getting a fair shake” from those within her own movement.
Romney has so far been highly criticized by the Tea Party movement, who sent protestors to picket during his debut September Tea Party Express event.
Jerry DeLumus, the chairman of the Granite State Patriots Liberty PAC, told ABC News at the Concord, N.H., event that he believed Romney was using the flashy Tea Party Express bus as a “photo op” and not because he is actually aligned with tea party principles.
But O’Donnell, who struggled with her own fair share of bad press during her Senate campaign, told ABC News that she tends to “empathize” when she sees “Romney’s record being so obviously distorted and twisted.”
“I hope the fact that I stood up to the liberal establishment within my own party gives me the bona fides among conservatives to say this,” said O’Donnell. “I find the tone and nastiness of some of the things circulating around the internet about Romney extremely offensive.”
“It’s politics of personal destruction aimed at our own and it’s got to stop,” she added. “Right now a lawn gnome could beat Obama in 2012, so, yes, we can be picky, but not nasty or malicious. If we don’t stop the Republican cannibalism we’re simply turning this election over to the Democrats, who certainly don’t deserve it.”
“We should learn a lesson from what happened in my race last year. I was consistently beating my democratic opponent in the pre-primary head to head match up and then the Republican Establishment launched their shameless attack and changed all that,” said O’Donnell. “As the saying goes, a lie runs around the world while the truth is still lacing up its shoes.”
O’Donnell won the Delaware GOP primary in 2010 by more than 53 percent of the vote against U.S. Rep. Mike Castle, but later lost to Democrat Chris Coons in the general election.
O’Donnell confirmed what Romney’s campaign finance receipts for the third quarter show: a $250 donation. She tells ABC News that the money came from her own pocket – not her Political Action Committee or her campaign.

While she has not yet maxed out to the Romney campaign, O’Donnell suggests that she will.
“Yes, I contributed to Romney,” she said. “While I am still undecided, I am leaning more and more towards Romney. Voters are craving strong leadership, Romney has it.”
“Right now, I’m 70 percent behind Romney,” she said. “I will absolutely max out if he’s the nominee.”
“It’s almost like we conservatives have to apologize for it, but we like him,” said O’Donnell of those in the Tea Party movement who favor Romney.
“And the very thing that he was criticized for in 2008, I find appealing heading into 2012,” she said. “In the midst of such turmoil and uncertainty, it’s comforting that he’s strong, solid and stands as an unmovable Oak tree in the middle of a raging storm.”
O’Donnell also gave money — $250 – to Herman Cain’s campaign, but says she will not do it again now because she doesn’t think he can handle the “onslaught that will inevitably come during the General Election.”
She says she also plans to give money to candidates Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, who she wants to see stay in the race longer.
She gave no money to Texas Gov. Rick Perry because she says she doesn’t like his in-state tuition policy or how he reacted to the controversy over the rock that was painted with a derogatory term at his family’s Texas ranch.

Christine O’Donnell lost the Delaware Senate race mostly because she pandered to the tea party and didn’t listen to the majority of the people of Delaware. It’s fitting she favors Mitt Romney because he’s doing the same thing.
The tea party represents a small part of the republican right wing. Why these republican candidates insist on letting the tea party set their agenda is beyond me. It says a lot about their lack of judgment.

Romney is a political opportunist; he would say anything if he thought it would get your vote. It would be so refreshing to here one of the republican candidates just get up and say “I don’t like President Obama, I think his policies won’t work, but I’m willing to work with him to do what is right for our country ” I think Americans would respect his more than what these clowns are doing now.
Romney couldn’t even beat the uncharismatic John McCain because McCain had at least some character and his own ideas.

What does she care if Romney’s not being treated well by the Tea Party? That should come as no surprise to her nor should she be offended by it. Something doesn’t make sense, but then again…neither does believing in witches.

I like the idea of lawn gnomes. Only let’s elect them to Congress instead. These days lawn gnomes would do more for the country than the people sitting in Congress are doing. Plus they don’t care about bribes and campaign contributions. They just sit there and do nothing. Perfect. CSPAN would be kind of boring, but what have we got to lose?

“a lawn gnome could beat Obama in 2012″ I guess it’s a good thing the GOP has no lawn gnomes in their 2012 candidacy hopefuls. Rather only a bunch of old lawn ornaments that tend to serve little to no purpose other than to clutter the front yard.
Republicans seem to think they can steam roll Obama, because he hasn’t been able to accomplish what he promised here domestically. The problem is he has had to deal with a republican Congress & Senate that would rather continue to run this country into the ground than work with a democrat.
If you blame Obama for doing little on the economy, then you must also blame the republicans because they have done anything possible to fight him in order to try and win the next election. I’m not a fan of either side, right or left but I sure as hell will never vote for a party that worries more about getting elected than doing the job they were elected to do.
Prior to the last election the right wing used every smear tactic in the book to say Obama would be soft on terrorism & the wars. Instead he has done a exceptional job with his war policy and done what the Republicans could have only wished for. Yet where is all the right wings thoughts on this? Yea will not hear a word out of them about the wars at this point because they know he has done more than anyone expected.
So ask yourself.. What is the difference between preforming well as a commander in chief with the wars this country is in vs trying to get things done here at home? Simple answer Congress & the Senate have little to do with the wars abroad at this point.
Meaning anyone with half a brain cell can figure out where the real issue is. Maybe he hasn’t done as well as I would have liked here at home with domestic policies on things like health care or the economy, but one thing is certain he has proven he can get things done when his hands aren’t tied by a useless congress & senate.

Is she calling ONE Rasmussen poll that showed her 2% ahead “consistently beating my democratic opponent”? She only lead her opponent one time in one poll. That’s right up there with her claims that she beat Joe Biden in 2 out of 3 counties, when she lost all 3. This woman is just…yuck.

Typical hypocrite Mitt Romney …he advocates staying in Iraq, Afghanistan and for attacking IRAN, bemoans the ending of the Iraq War having no problem sending everyone else’s sons and daughters into harms way. Yet NONE OF HIS FIVE ADULT SONS has ever offered to serve in any capacity in our volunteer military service. Mitt’s explanation “my sons are showing their support for the country by helping me get elected”. Does anyone else see a huge Romney character flaw in this picture?
Mitt Romney….”poster boy” for the 1%.

Romney is obviously the best choice we’ve had for the last and upcoming election. The press, however, has not been on ‘our’ side since the Sixties.

Bravetruth..so you are blaming 2% ‘liberal ethnic minority’ that control what everyone reads and believes..yet look at all the comment boards..be it any news site..and what do you see? Regurgitation of nonsense straight from Fox. Canada joined the list of countries that removed Fox because of their continual stream of lies. These countries removed it because sadly when it comes to actual facts most Fox viewers believe many things that just simply aren’t true (usually GOP policy they convince their viewers is ‘liberal’ policy). And judging that comment about the 2%..you fall right into that mold. I recommend getting your information from a multitude of sources..this is why the conversation is so bitter in America, one side argues their points without accurate information.

I always thought Christine O’Donnell had been unfairly maligned, until now. Romney’s biggest donors are the very investment bankers who caused this depression (yes, depression). Romney is utterly lacking in political principle, being on EVERY side of EVERY major issue since he entered politics. Romney has NO chance of winning the presidency, as southern “Red State” voters will not vote for him. Remember, Barack Obama received MORE votes in the Texas Democratic primary than the top candidates in the Texas GOP primary combined, but still lost Texas to John McCain. Even many southern “red state” voters who don’t mind Romney’s lack of
character won”t vote for him because of his religion. That’s an ugly truth.

It must be Halloween…Christine O”Donnell is back. Romney has flipped on every single item and changes according to his needs. His statement that corporations are people was the end. At one time he claimed he was unemployed and one of us. REALLY! Meanwhile he is building a bigger house…something middle American may never be able to do if this economy does not get better. Does he think he relates to middle America? He does not…nor do any of the republicans. Unfortunately, our supreme court made the biggest mistake by allowing funds to come in from anywhere with no accountability and Pres. Obama was right in saying it was not the best thing to do. Now the Koch Brothers are buying every governor and political person they can right up to the White House…if they could. Look at Scott Walker…he has a direct line to them and does anyone of them who took their support. Do we want this in America? It is not only important who is President but the governors and other political offices are just as important. 92% of the money coming in for this campaign for the republicans are coming from three people…the two Koch Brothers and Karl Rove. We need to wake up America…if we want more teachers, firemen and cops laid off we need to keep the republicans out…if we want women’s right continued ..we need to keep the republicans out…if we want environment protection for our children and our health….we need to keep the republicans out….if we need jobs kept here…we need to keep republicans out. In this regard, during the 2010 election…the Chamber of Commerce assured foreign countries that do not worry…the republicans will get back in and your jobs are safe…do we want this to continue?If you really want a future for your children, with good paying jobs for middle America kept here …we need to keep republicans out…every future election we need to vote wisely..When a party puts only their objectives first and refuses to work with the other side …they have lost their usefulness for our country. Mc Connell likes to say Obama got everything he wanted in the first two years…that is an outright lie. They kep every person he nominated from getting the job he wanted…they refused to work on health care…he even put them on t.v. and went up to them twice and he still would not work with him. Every policy he wanted to do and they lie when they say the stimulus did not work..the CBO says it provided 1.3 to 3-5 jobs and it would have been better but he was limited as to what they would give and this recession was far worse than anyone imagined. Remember …this recession was not caused by Obama…it was caused by 8 years of spending by Bush Cheney, Rove and his cohorts.

“her own movement”??? The Tea Party is not “her” movement. It has no caucuses, no conventions, no elections of officers. It has self-appointed leaders who start up a state-based operation and then take far-right positions favorable to the Big Oil folks so they can get money from Cheney’s “Club for Growth” and other groups that funnel “anonymous” money to influence the political landscape. The self-appointed leaders make carefully-crafted statements so the sheep hear enough of what they want to hear and follow along no matter how their positions are twisted. How else do you explain an organization that began with most members being worried about the preservation of Social Security, only to donate $500,000 to Sharron Angle’s campaign – and she advocated shutting down Social Security?

The Tea Party has become a joke, much like the Republicrat party. They’d prefer to back an in-bed-with-the-fed Cain if they could, although most of them will eventually cave and end up backing Romney. They’ll take anyone, just so long as it is not Ron Paul, you know, a libertarian conservative, which, by definition, is simply a Tea Partier who can read. Sad. Very sad.

Romney care, the Heritage Foundation supported it when it was proposed in Massachusetts. Abortion, Mitt is Pro life, just ask Bay Buchanan a staunch pro lifer and supporter of Tom Tancredo last time around. She is a Pro life activist. I am somewhat troubled by his Global Warming comments, but I don’t believe he will ever implement the Kyoto Accords nor the cap and trade job killing policy. Religion: Mormon, not a problem with Huntsman on this issue never mentioned. Mormons are independent thinkers and are although influenced by their beliefs, but never would be controlled by the leadership of the church. Romney would protect religious freedom. It is part of Mormon Theology that God had a hand in the founding of this country and that the Constitution is a “heavenly banner”. 25% of evangelicals voted for Obama last time around. Are they so dogmatic that they would vote for him over Romney. If so, they are really out of touch and on the “looney” side of politics.
