O’Donnell: "I believe that prayer plays a direct role in this campaign"

http://blogs.cbn.com/thebrodyfile/archive/2010/10/25/christine-odonnell-interview-with-the-brody-file.aspx

<snip>

David Brody: “Let me ask you about this so-called beating up of the conservative Christian woman. Do you feel that or is that an understatement?”

Christine O’Donnell: “I don’t feel it because I don’t watch the news. (Laughs) No. I do feel it. There’s certainly a double standard and I don’t often quote Gloria Steinem but she said you can look at a double standard if they wouldn’t attack the male opponent that way and there’s no doubt that they wouldn’t say the things they’re saying about me, they wouldn’t do the things that they’re doing if I weren’t a woman. I’m not whining but there certainly is a double standard especially when it comes to conservative woman.”

Christine O'Donnell on God's role in this campaign:

David Brody: How do you see God’s role in all of this because you’ve had some ups and you’ve had some downs. Where is God in all of this? How do you see all of that?

Christine O’Donnell: God is the reason that I’m running. If I didn’t believe that there were a cause greater than myself worth fighting for, if I didn’t believe that it takes a complete dying of self to make things right in this Election cycle I would not be running and when you die to yourself you rely on a power greater than yourself so prayer is what’s gotten us all through. The day that we saw a spike in the polls was a day that some people had a prayer meeting for me that morning for this campaign so I believe that prayer plays a direct role in this campaign and I always ask please pray for the campaign; please pray for our staff; please pray specifically that the eyes of the voters be opened.”

2. Of course it does....
Since the majority of us Delawareans are praying she goes away after she loses this election.

5. Her "God" is Ayn Rand.
And she's going to get such a nasty swat from that "Invisible Hand" next Tuesday!

7. Prayer is a way of telling god that you disagree with his divine plan and you want it changed.
It's just so much nonsense.

10. Oh, Dear God...
You fucked up again!

You have not delivered on the perks that my self-righteousness entitles me to.

I do not want to have to ask you again, but I will anyway.

In your name, not my name...

I submit that prayer is playing a direct role in this campaign.

9. Interesting...
If I didn’t believe that there were a cause greater than myself worth fighting for, if I didn’t believe that it takes a complete dying of self to make things right

Then perhaps she could pledge, if elected, to take no salary, no money from special interests, and live in a motel for the duration of her term....

18. Maybe it could be the basis for a wacky new sitcom.
My Name is Christine. Christine lives in Room 233 of the Palms Hotel with her equally-wacky sister, Sharron, and after finding herself elected Senator from Camden, spends the next six years atoning for all the times she had impure thoughts.

Nah. Too predictable.
