Sharron Angle: Make Gay Adoption Illegal, Allow Clergy To Endorse Candidates From Pulpit
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/05/sharron-angle-make-gay-ad_n_672549.html

Republican Sharron Angle believes the clergy should be allowed to endorse candidates from the pulpit and opposes laws allowing gays to adopt children, according to a questionnaire by the Nevada Senate hopeful that was obtained by The Associated Press.

Angle, who is trying to unseat Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, completed the four-page questionnaire for a conservative political action committee that has endorsed her candidacy.

The document provides a window into Angle's social and moral views, which would place her among Congress' most conservative members at a time of ongoing culture wars over gay rights, abortion and the boundaries between religion and government.

Among her positions, outlined in answers to 36 yes-or-no questions, Angle would oppose making sexual orientation a protected minority in civil rights laws. In a section on school prayer, she affirms that students and teachers should be able to talk openly about religion in schools, including the right to "publicly acknowledge the Creator."

3. She's in a league of her own.
If Nevadans don't soundly reject her, we could be in a world of hurt.

8. She is one crazy woman
Any bets that she would be against letting schools discuss Allah as the "creator"?

10. What a horrible woman.
I always think the republicans have reached the very bottom of the barrel. Then they dig a little deeper still and come up with a giant piece of sewage like Angle.

Hopefully the Americans in Nevada will be able to defeat this wretched republican harpy.

Name three reasons why it would be a good thing if the LHC created a black hole that swallowed the earth.

Seriously, any country that admires these rejects from hell doesn't deserve to exist.
