LOS ANGELES — Republican Sharron Angle says her campaign to unseat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada is "a calling" from God and that her faith is helping her endure a fiercely competitive race in which Democrats have depicted her as a conservative extremist.

"When you have God in your life ... he directs your path," Angle told the Christian Broadcasting Network in an interview posted on its website Wednesday.

Asked why she entered the race, Angle said "the reason is a calling."

"When God calls you he also equips you and He doesn't just say, 'Well today you're going to run against Harry Reid,'" the tea party favorite said.

In the Bible "Moses has his preparatory time. Paul had his preparatory time. Even Jesus had his preparatory time," the former legislator said, citing her years in public office as her preparation for the race.

"God knew all of this in advance," Angle added. "I don't know what's coming up tomorrow but I do know that He is there. He saw it and that He has provided a way of escape and a way for me to endure."

1. And these statements *prove* she's not a conservative extremist, right? n/t

2. Time for Reid to call in reinforcements.....

Anybody got the Angel Moroni's cell number? O8)

3. Whatever...

Typical right-wing nutjob appealing to the "Christian" right by wearing her faith on her sleeve.

IMHO, God may have put Angle to run this year to ensure that a great Senator named Harry Reid can continue God's work insofar as helping the poor, ensuring that people in our country will have access to quality health care without the fear of going broke, and helping to protect God's beautiful creation (specifically, the earth's environment) from the sinful nature of Man.

5. Another delusional "I was annointed by God" powerhungry

con-artist. No wonder this clown is so wrapped up in thinking of ways to control the lives and freedom of others, from having a beer in Las Vegas to a woman's right to choose. You can already figure out how she'd wrap every piece of legislation as "God wants me to"...or "God told me you must give up the right to drink."

I hope this woman isn't married - she talks about God as if "He" is her primary lover. I'd love to hear her explanation as to why there were no books in the bible from women, but suddenly God is working through her. . .

6. you really,really have to wonder what kind of an asshole would vote for

someone like this.
Must really hate the country and its people.

7. Why is it the more the people are against the poor, the needy

AND anything good for America they try to pretend they are doing God's work.They are blasphemous.

8. Perhaps she is not as much on God's mind as she thinks she is

God must have wanted Obama to become President and must have prepared Harry Reid to be in a position to assist the President in carrying out his agenda. Instead of being destined for a principal role, perhaps she's merely one of God's understudies, a B-team benchwarmer who may not ever be put in the game. God: "What do you mean put what's-her-name in? You know that name-dropping thing really pissed me off. When she goes in it will be a cold day in you-know where!"

:evilgrin:

10. Pat Robertson, 1988

Said the same thing about the Presidency. And lost.

God was just joshing him.

11. Why is it that she's considered sane? She hears voices in her head.

I mean, really, what's the line dividing sane from delusional?

12. Get some fucking Thorazine into this Nutbag !
