so exactly how out of touch are these people?

this out of touch.

"Maine Republicans have created a webpage revealing that Democrat candidate Colleen Lachowicz plays an orc rogue in World of Warcraft (WoW)."

"Ms Lachowicz's liking for back-stabbing and poison in WoW raise questions about her "fitness for office", they claim."

The page also detailed some of the comments Ms Lachowicz has made while talking about her orc rogue, in particular it highlights her affection for Santiaga's ability to stab things and kill people without suffering a jail sentence.

"These are some very bizarre and offensive comments," said Maine Republican Party spokesman David Sorenson.

Who gives a f*** what she does in her spare time? How about they focus on more legitimate things and stop looking so desperate to find anything remotely minor to discredit someone.

could have been worse, she could have been a healer that took loot for heals. or an alchemist that sells pots in the auction house.

sheesh, talk about a betrayal of public health care, that scandal would have been a field day in the press.:P

I can't believe some of these people are considered mentally stable. I guess my liking for RTS games should make me a general then, by this logic.

... That would only give me more reason to vote for her.. That she isn't some dumbass old person that votes on technology bills yet has absolutely NO idea what they are really about.. As we so saw with the whole SOPA debate.. Where many of the politicians who supported it, didn't even understand what it did.

Darn good at Age of Mythology. Average at Age of Empires 2. Just above average on Company of Hero's and lately I've been playing some DoTA 2 in which I have a higher win count than loss count by a fair gap. ;)

This is a new low. It's like saying a candidate's favorite movie is Die Hard, so they must be a violent person.

Interesting. It appears she doesn't really play that much since she's still in Cataclysm blues. I love the "Colleen's World" website. That's freakin' hilarious. I wonder how they'd bash her if she was a healing-spec priest or a paladin?

I see you like Half Life. That must mean you hit people with a crowbar all the time. I'm not going to hire you for any job I may or may not posses a vacancy for this reason!

In her interview with the BBC, the candidate says she's only played about 30 minutes of WoW in the last year.

I sometimes find it hard to believe that Republicans are actually real, and not just a comedy skit we see every couple of years.

No but as of late it sure seems like Republicans are trying to have a monopoly on crazy.. Evidence of this? One need only look at the Republican Primary and the top candidates..

"But they did/do it too" wasn't a valid defense in kindegarten, it's not a valid defense for grown ups.
