So you think that if smart people have screwed things up, stupid people can make them better? I don't think O'Donnell is unqualified because of her views on sex or her tax problems. I think she's unqualified because she hasn't done much to prepare herself to be a Senator, other than campaigning for the job, as she has done for the past several years. From what i understand, in recent years she has lived on campaign contributions, which have paid half of her rent, along with other personal expenses. I do have a problem with her desire to apply her interpretation of the Bible to public policy. And I have a problem with the way she has played fast and loose with campaign finance laws. The Federal Elections Commission has cited her 8 times in the past three years for failing to report contributions in a timely manner, as required by law. She also seems to have trouble sticking to the truth. I could go on, but you get the idea. PS: When you speak of Barney Frank's sexual "escapades," I'm not sure what you're referring to. I believe he has been in a committed relationship with the same partner for a very long time. And before that, he was in a relationship for 11 years. Long term committed relationships are not escapades.
