Harry Reid is a consummate pantywaist.

Question: Sharron you stated parts of US are under Sharia Law. Why did you say that, is it true ?

Sharron Angle: At the time I said it, i didn't have all the facts. so now I tell you no. US is a free country so its ok to have Muslims here.

Question: Sharron you stated that you wish to do away with Social secuirty, veterans' dept. etc. Are you for doing away with these departments?

Sharron Angle: At the time I did not have all the facts. Now i have the facts. No lets not do away with Social security, etc.

She's got juice alright, juicy brain. At least Harry got laws past and is not talking crazy. Dems won on the platform of change and that they would bring healthcare, end war, etc. People voted for that, now they want this crazy. It took 8 years of republicans to run this country and economy to the ground and folks are asking why it did not pick up 2years after? Wake up people what planet are you living on. You guys are against the stimulus and bailouts? The same bailouts that saved GM, Chrysler and to some extent Ford and all the associated jobs? The bailouts to banks as much as it sucked and i wish to god the citibanks and chases of the world would go under, they ended up costing the tax payer a fraction of the original estimates.
If the stimulus bill was not passed god knows what kind of unemployment we would be looking at 15%?
People wake up. there are no simple solutions. Replacing Reid with just anyone is not the answer. She is so cookie, will vote no on EVERYTHING like she did before.

Why does angle believe "Obamacare" is unconstitutional if Bush could put through Medicare Part D requiring everyone on Medicare to puchase Drug Insurance although they did not have money to do so, or face a penalty? And that was not found to be unconstitutional! If Obamacare is found to be unconstitutional, then Bush's precedent may be revisited as also being unconstitutional too!

Angle stated that we need "simple solutions". Simple solutions for massive structural deficits, lack of job and income growth over the past 10 years, inadequate healthcare, oil dependence, war, failing education system, etc. Sorry teabagger, but there are no simple solutions! And that's the problem...these teabaggers are basically clueless, they have limited education, limited or no legal training, limited practical experience, etc. You'd have to be ignorant or worse to vote these idiots. Of course, after Bush was reelected in 2004, the London Times proclaimed: 53,000,000,000 IDIOTS!

Angle says people do not need any health insurance, wants to privatize the VA, wants to eliminate the Dept. of Education, and thinks insurance companies should not be mandated to treat anything. Senator Reid is a powerful person in the Senate, an advocate for Nevada. Replacing him with this fruitcake would be devastating for Nevada.
