AP Exclusive: Nevada's Angle outlines views on gays, school prayer in questionnaire.

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. Sure, let the clergy support candidates

from the pulpit. But they must understand that this will cost them their tax exempt status.

As for allowing gays to adopt children, I have this to say. The children in my classroom who were adopted by gays were some of the most loved and cherished children I have ever seen. Wish I could say that about many of the children from "opposite sex" married families.

4. Truly A Woman Of The 18th Century...

This babe represents the ultimate dumbing down of the right wing over the past 30 years. She's now the gold standard for intolerance, privilidge and outright stupidity.

8. At this point, I think it would be easier to list the things

she supports than all the things she doesn't. :eyes:

It is difficult to believe that anyone finds her reasonable in any way, shape, or form.

She's not 18th century (those folks were actually quite forward-thinking for the age) - she's a perverse cross between the worst of the Victorians and the worst of the 14th century . . .

gah.
