I thought God had a little more common sense than that...either that, or he's got a mean sense of humor.

Or God didn't actually speak to those people - which is my guess. :roll:

hmmm...that does sound plausible...

Harry Reid Leads Sharron Angle In Nevada Senate Race (POLL)

Update..the Teabag Party (better know as the Republican "base") is losing strength in this election.... Looks like Nevadans have woken up from the nightmare of this woman being in the U.S. Senate!

Kind of difficult to imagine her succeeding in a state with legalized prostitution and gambling in casinos where they bring you free drinks.

.
Well it just may be that it was God's plan to have Angle defeat Tarkanian and Lowden because He/She knew that would be Harry Reid's best chance. Therefore, God really is for Reid..
Not to confuse the situation or anything. .:funn:

Here is another article on Sharron Angle.

Stephen Moore: The Weekend Interview with Sharron Angle - WSJ.com

I find her to be quite impressive and just sent a donation to her campaign.

This is like a miniature version of the 2008 Presidential election.

You look at it in dismay and ask "Are these the best two candidates that could be found for the job?????"

One part of Angle's platform the libs are enjoying ragging her about is she is opposed to "massages for convicts". Do we want our taxes to pay for massages for convicts? It's so laughable. Why don't we get them pedicures and botox treatments? I think she would be better than Reid but that's up to Nevada.

I don't know if these are the best two candidates but I sure like Sharron Angle a lot better than Harry Reid.

Uh, you have it kinda backwards. The libs were ragging her about it because she somewhat supported a prison reform program that was aimed at drug users, one that was based in Scientology. Read the article, and you will see that Reid used her supposed support in an ad, and Politifact says Reid's claim is half-true. You might want to start checking your sources, especially if they are rolling in as chain emails.

PolitiFact | Reid ad claims Angle supported a Scientology plan to give massages to prisoners

We also called Angle's campaign for comment about the program and Angle's involvement. Campaign staffer Lee Adams said "it was something she looked at and ultimately said no." As we noted earlier, it wasn't so much that Angle decided the program didn't have merit. Rather, she made a political calculation that it didn't have enough support to pass, and so she declined to offer legislation that was DOA.

For the record, Adams said, despite some rumors circulating around, Angle is not a Scientologist.

"She's a Southern Baptist," he said.

As for the claim in the Reid ad, we think it's accurate to point out Angle's one-time support for a controversial drug and crime rehabilitation program based on the teachings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. But we think it's misleading to sum it up as back rubs for prisoners. There's a lot more to it than that. Some may find the idea of taxpayer support for the program equally as troubling, but this was more about supporting a controversial drug treatment program than one aimed at coddling criminals with massages. And so we rate the ad's claim Half True

Sarawind: I truly don't want to sound mean about this, but you need to starting making posts that are better grounded in fact, or you will continue to be considered one of the least credible people in these forums. I'm going to politely assume that you are ill-informed rather than assume that you are purposely telling lies. Perhaps you're listening to news programs that are more interested in propaganda than the truth. It's starting to make you look foolish.

LaKeViewToo I read the link to the Wall Street Journal article that Margarita posted above and it appears you did not. Your continued attempts to discredit me because I have different views that you have become tedious and don't reflect favorably on you. I made my post from content in the Wall Street Journal article and I will post it for your pleasure below. Who's looking foolish and ill-informed now?

By STEPHEN MOORE

Liberal groups and Mr. Reid are gleeful that a "right wing extremist" has won the GOP nomination. At a recent fund raising dinner for the majority leader in Las Vegas, President Barack Obama labeled her "extreme, even for a Republican." Some Republicans privately grumble that she may be unelectable because of her staunchly conservative stands. And to be sure, some of her positions, such as banning fluoridated water or providing massages to rehabilitate convicts, seem a bit, well, odd.

This quote flat out contradicts your post #60. It also kind of points out that you support a rather flakey candidate. I'm simply pointing out that all this contributes to your lack of credibility.

Lake View and Rita you have taken my post and feebly tried to make it into something it is not. Read it again! Angle is against convict tax-funded massages. I jokingly/sarcasticlly said why don't we add pedicures and botox treatments for the convicts to point out the idiocy of massages for criminals. Too much Kool-Aid isn't good for you.

Because you don't care for a candidate does not constitute flakiness.

This is a quote from Politifact:

"As a Nevada Assemblywoman in 2003, Angle pushed for Nevada to try a controversial drug and criminal rehabilitation program based on the teachings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard."

Your post #60 stated that libs ragged her for opposing the "massages" that came with the L. Ron Hubbard program.

I don't even particularly like Harry Reid, but I'm really a fan of the truth. I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt that you were misinformed, but you proved me wrong.

My opinion is that candidates that put much credence in the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard are flaky.

This quote flat out contradicts your post #60. It also kind of points out that you support a rather flakey candidate. I'm simply pointing out that all this contributes to your lack of credibility.

Why do thoughts of Glenn Beck keep coming to mind?

Lake View, dear, for some reason you seem unable to grasp the comment I made jokingly about convict massages. Just saying convict massages is funny if you think about it. I'm through with this subject and your vendetta trying to prove me as less than you.

Politifact is a left leaning group that skew the news to their liberal agenda. Sort of like the New York Times - if a story is too good to be true, why bother fact-checking.

I know what this thread needs:

Crazy thread. A lot of people bashing this woman. The important thing is, she's potentially replacing Harry Reid. Pee Wee Herman would be an improvement over Reid, so Angle, regardless of her religious leanings, is certainly an improvement.

Reid needs to go, along with all the other career politicians in Washington. I wish Angle the best of luck.

Sorry, 30Ashopper, I respectfully disagree.

However bad you think Reid is, the situation can't be improved by replacing him w/ someone whose positions include:

Withdraw from U.N.
Phase out Social Security
Phase out Medicare
No abortions at all, even for rape & incest
Eliminate Dept. of Education
Eliminate Environmental Protection Agency
Stop Flouridation of drinking water
Repeal Health Insurance Reform
Global warming is not caused by human activities
Alcohol should be illegal

I would hope that there are at least a handful of people in NV who you might consider even worse than Reid. I would hope that the handful would include Sharron Angle.

Withdraw from U.N. - sounds good to me, it's about time we got serious about this discussion. We primarily fund the U.N., a disfunctional, corrupt, weak, and ineffective global body that has little positive impact on the world. Most of the organizations within the U.N. could be replaced with existing private international organizations. The money we send to this body is largly wasted or wittled away. It needs to be scrapped.

Phase out Social Security - A move toward private retirement accounts for younger works would be a welcome change.

Phase out Medicare - I haven't heard her actually suggest this, but regardless, even if Angle does feel this way, such legislation would never pass.

No abortions at all, even for rape & incest - her religious beliefs intermingle with her political beliefs, this is unfortunate. I'm not sure which is worse though, politicians like Reid who believe in abortion on demand, even for late term prengancies, or people like Angle who want to see abortion restricted? This is a wash.

Eliminate Dept. of Education - Amen brother! Along with about 20 or 30 other worthless departments.

Eliminate Environmental Protection Agency - I've not studied the EPA much, so I can't say wether this would be good or bad. Nor have I heard the details on her view of the EPA.

Stop Flouridation of drinking water - This is what her consituents want by majority. Whether you agree or disagree, this a local issue for the people of Nevada.

Repeal Health Insurance Reform - Amen brother! Repeal that sucker!

Global warming is not caused by human activities - Prove to me otherwise.

Alcohol should be illegal - This one is a little over the top. I wish she leaned more libertarian. But since she would never get it passed, what difference does it make.


Again, overall, she sounds a heck of a lot better than Harry "This War Is Lost" Reid. Throw the bum out!

Thx so much for detailed response. I respectfully disagree, but now understand where you're coming from.
