How would you like to be Sharron Angles communication director?
A devout Southern Baptist, Angle has said she felt a "calling from God" to run for the Senate, a comment opponents mocked. She also took heat for saying she doesn't believe in abortion in any case, including rape and incest, because "God has a plan and a purpose for each one of our lives."
But Angle drew the strongest criticism last week when an interview surfaced in which she invoked religion to bash Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Barack Obama for expanding federal programs "to make government our God" in what she said was a violation of the First Commandment.
"We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government," she said in an April interview on Trunet, a Christian broadcaster. "We're supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not our government." [...]
Angle campaign spokesman Jarrod Agen said the former Reno assemblywoman is tolerant and believes "members of different faiths be given the freedom to practice their religion."
Agen also criticized Reid for playing the God card in the Senate race. He said Angle's point was that the Obama administration had become "all powerful" by passing legislation over the objections of a majority of Nevadans and Americans, including the health care law and divisive stimulus spending.
Wait, who is playing the "god card"? Not the woman who can't shut her yap about how her god hates abortion, hates gays, hates Democrats, hates Obama, and hates our government?
But since we're talking Sharron Angle, there's more than one crazy per day. There's this gem:
"I think we get confused a little bit. Our healthcare system is the best in the world. There's nothing wrong with our healthcare system. Our doctors are the best," says Angle.
"But how many people get access to the best healthcare in the world," asks Action News reporter Marco Villarreal.
"The access is not what is being denied. It is the cost that has become prohibitive and that's what we need to address," she answers.
There's nothing wrong with it! Everyone can access it! Well, if you can pay for it. And many people can't. So there's nothing wrong with it!
That kind of incoherence sort of makes sense, given that Angle is getting her health care advice from these guys.
