Sharron Angle hands election to Harry Reid

[Riot]

Sharron ... first, you said children who where raped by their fathers should bear the baby (no abortion permitted) should they become pregnant because it was God's will.

Then, you said you are running on no liquor in Vegas.

And repealing Medicare and Social Security

And your current PR blitz is:

Sharron Angle on the press -
"We wanted them to ask the questions we want to answer so that they report the news the way we want it to be reported.”

UPDATE:

Hours after her latest interview snafu, Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle is buffing up her communications team by bringing on board an experienced GOP operative to help steady a decidedly shaky campaign.

The Tea Party favorite continued her brand of bizarre if not painfully candid remarks when she told Fox News on Monday night that she wanted the press to ask her only questions she wants to answer. By Tuesday afternoon, the National Republican Senatorial Committee was alerting reporters that Angle had a new communications director on her team.

Jarrod Agen, who previously worked as the communications director for Steve Poizner's failed gubernatorial primary bid in California, will take over the position temporarily filled by Jordan Gehrke.

I believe what she really wants is some to run her Propaganda campaign... This isn't about being elected, she wants to take control and force her Christian ways upon us all.

Despite all the hoopla she trails by 2 % points. Since the economic news looks like it is about to get worse a hard hit state like Nevada is much more likely to forget stuff that happens in July when they are voting in November especially since the GOP finally installed a professional mouthpiece for Angle. The idea that Harry Reid is a lock to win is a bit premature.

Angle used to be ahead by 11.

Edit: and remember that Angle is famously on record recently saying that, as a US Senator, it is "not her job" to help create jobs.

I really want Harry Reid to beat this crazy bitch.

In defense of Angle's abortion position- she's actually being much more consistent than most of America. If one really believes abortion is murder, then it's murder no matter under what circumstances the baby was conceived. A baby conceived from rape is just as innoncent as one conceived from not using a condom.

Opposing abortion except in cases of rape and incest means simply that you are opposed to women having consensual sex for reasons other than procreation. Angle's position is considerably less offensive.

And Republicans have opposed Social Security since its inception. Angle is just being open about the right's position on these issues, rather than hiding behind doublespeak about trickle-down and self-reliance and states' rights and whatever other gobbledygook is spewed to cover up the objective of institutionalizing inequality. She's just being honest. And people are calling her crazy for it.

But yes, she is handing Reid the election on a silver platter. Which, for this liberal, sucks, as I'd rather see someone else in charge of the Senate.

All the same...is there a way I can receive a photo of your boo bees today?

UPDATE:

How's that different from what liberal Democrats have been doing? Is this OK if the press actually is your friend, again, like the liberals have?

Good points, and she might be seen as radical in a blue state.

But if life does begin at conception, which is more likely than any other place, her position is not crazy.

And many oppose social security because of it being an actual Ponzi scheme that must crash, and people will be left holding the bag at retirement no matter how many adjustments are made. That is also not crazy.

But as I led out with in this response, it might be too far a departure from the positions of previous senators for this election.

Angles position is beyond crazy to women that think they should not be forced by law to incubate, birth, financially and physically support, and raise the child of the criminal who raped them.

I disagree that Angle is all that honest in reflecting her beliefs and intentions if elected to the Senate. She is going out of her way to hide those very values from public scrutiny, in an attempt to get elected, from taking her positions off her website to avoiding questions from the press and public.

Your first point illustrates what a problem the abortion issue is. You are correct in that of course the crime of rape should not carry longterm or life long additional damages for the woman. The problem is what to do with a life that is by its very definition, innocent. If there is a capital sentence in the crime, it ought not be carried out on an innocent life. No one has found a good answer to this yet.

Your second point seems to be that you fear that Angle will employ exactly the same tactics in getting elected -- I'll quote you here: "She is going out of her way to hide those very values from public scrutiny, in an attempt to get elected, from taking her positions off her website to avoiding questions from the press and public." -- as Obama did. It's just different values this time. She's not a socialist.

Prior to election, Obama didn't avoid the press nor interviews as Angle is doing. He participated in multiple public candidate debates and press conferences. Obama didn't take controversial or extremist views and issues off his website to hide them from public view. If that's not true, perhaps you could point out what you are specifically talking about.
