Sharon Angle, the former Nevada state legislator, is coming to talk to the SCV Patriots and David Gauny’s Republican club later this month:
Sharron what and Angle who you say?
That would be the Sharron Angle who made a name for herself in the 2010 elections for some pretty wild statements in her run against Harry Reid for United States Senate representing the good people of Nevada.
You might remember her from such adroit policy prescriptions as:
On Economic Development for her state:
“People ask me, ‘What are you going to do to develop jobs in your state?’ Well, that’s not my job as a U.S. senator.” –Sharron Angle, May 14, 2010
On the best method to get Harry Reid out of office:
“I hope that’s not where we’re going, but you know if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying my goodness what can we do to turn this country around? I’ll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out.”
On the value of unemployment benefits vs working:
“You can make more money on unemployment than you can going down and getting one of those jobs that is an honest job, but it doesn’t pay as much. And so that’s what’s happened to us is that we have put in so much entitlement into our government that we really have spoiled our citizenry and said you don’t want the jobs that are available.”
And so on.
Yes. That Sharron Angle. The Sharron Angle who makes Sarah Palin look like a 60s hippy and Christine O’Donnell like a Rhodes Scholar.
She’ll be enlightening the SCV Tea Party on “Election Integrity,” aka “How to keep people who aren’t gonig to vote for you anyway from the ballot box.” (Democrats have their own spin on this topic, we have seminars on how to spot voter intimidation, which is the other side of the coin).
I’m most not certainly not an Angle fan, but in the Tea Party realm, she’s a leader, ambassador, theologian, and political philosopher all wrapped up in one. For the local Tea Party folks, this has to be a headline event, reward & recognition for all the hard work they’ve put into bashing the government over the last two years.
And so this is one Tea Party event I may have to crash.
