Sharron Angle: I would refuse money from company that supports gay rights

[oberliner]

Sharron Angle has taken some extreme positions, but this one is remarkable even by her standards: She said on a candidate questionnaire that she would refuse political contributions from a private company that backs equal rights for gays and extends benefits to partners of gay employees.

Reid cannot lose to this person.

1. Rec. for importance

2. Can't wait for that election so that we'll never have to hear about this twit again.

[oberliner]

5. Are you confident that she will lose?

Things look a little too close for comfort in that race.

[Arkana]

13. More than I was a few months ago.

She's so poisonously crazy that Harry Reid has come back from the dead and is taking the lead in the polls. Angle's unfavorables jumped over 50% after her "fleeing the press" incident.

I think she's gonna lose and teabaggers everywhere will cry.

[Divine Discontent]

3. FAR right extremist that clearly, based on these views, would persecute GLBT people out of positions

that come in contact with kids at libraries, schools, etc. And I'm sure she agrees with all the right wing false-believers who impugn Gay people without hesitation at church, spewing forth their 'sermons' of hate.

I'd HOPE that state rejects her hatred.

4. I bet Big Money that has already happened.

Somebody look over her donation records.

[mzteris]

6. wtf would they give her any anyway?!? n/t

[DFW]

7. Sharron Angle would accept money from John Wilkes Booth and Benedict Arnold

As long as they certified that they were not gay

[spartan61]

8. How can anyone who professes to be so

"Christian," be filled with so much hatred toward her fellow citizens?

[jberryhill]

9. Lotsa Mormons in Nevada /nt

[dickthegrouch]

10. May her list of donors be as tiny as her mind /nt

[and-justice-for-all]

19. +1

20. Harry Reid is going to stomp her into the ground in November...

I do not think that the 80K people whose jobs he saved are going to forget that.

[boppers]

11. That's a *whole* lot of money, and companies.

30% of the Fortune 1000 have a perfect HRC score.

12. Meh. She's a teaparty crumpet crumb.

Soon to be swept off the table by history's mighty crumber.

[saltpoint]

14. I'm wondering if there's anyone on her staff who might

suggest to her that her public comments are impolitic or if her campaign team is even more clueless than she is.

[niceypoo]

15. I am sure she surrounds herself with 'yes men'

Ideologues let their ideology do all their thinking/talking for them, thus the endless nonsense coming from this woman.

[saltpoint]

16. I bet you're right. It's a sad state of affairs,

but probably spot on.

[ibegurpard]

17. someone needs to get to work and track down a contributor

that will make her eat her words.

[rasputin1952]

18. Absolutely incredible!

That is like saying, "I'd like to repeal the XIX amendment that guarantees suffrage to women", this woman is an incredible idiot!

I will not be surprised to read in the near future that her head imploded...like a deflated balloon.

[ZM90]

21. There is no way Reid will lose!

No matter how upset some are with Reid they don't want batshit crazy! Rec.

22. Harrah's Hotels and Casinos in Nevada support LGBT issues.

Hopefully, they can test out her statement and see if she'll return $2000 or whatever the donation.

Then she'll lose either way.

Either she accepts the money, and keeps it, and gets publicly dogged by not sticking by her words.

Or, she returns the money, and a campaign issue can be raised that she doesn't support Nevada businesses, especially one of the state's most well known companies.
