How do you think they would spin that one to tarnish her image?

1. Just point out a lot of the truths
about her cozy relationship with dictators and how she failed to use the millions given her to actually help people beyond holding their hands as they died.

Sorry, Mother Theresa is a bad example for some sort of idealized "good".

2. don't know how "they'd" spin it
but I'd be absolutely horrified, rabidly anti-choice, rabidy anti contraception, rabidly against any form of sex education AND she managed to be pro - Duvalier and pro baptising Hindu's.

6. personally,
I think it's not that good an idea...was she an American born citizen, a democrat, and is she willing to debate with her opponents and be willing to compromise for the common good?

My vote for nomination would go to Princess Diane, she actually has a chance at being elected!

7. They'd say she's "far left wing" and her values
don't fit in with mainstream America.

Vote for us, and I'll give my rich buddies another tax cut while the states raise your taxes to pay for our unfunded mandates due to the increased deficit! And don't forget...Mother Teresa - far left wing - extreme - partisan - possible lesbian (where's her husband at?).

11. They would just have to dig up
a few old DU threads. MT has been trashed pretty well on DU.
