Here is some of the answers given by Angle from a recent interview Reid challenger Sharron Angle did on CBN. Now, I don&#8217;t have a problem with a candidate having strong religious beliefs, and I recognize she is playing to the Christian audience that watches that network. What I DO have a problem with, is that candidate believing that God sent her to do this, and she is on par with those like Moses and Jesus. Note there is also video so you can get a feeling of the person that is Sharron Angle.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>David Brody: Let me ask you a little bit about why a happily married wife, 10 grandchildren, living in a beautiful place like Reno would want to get into beltway politics and go to DC. This is an uprooting of your life if it indeed happens:<\/p>\n<p>Sharron Angle: \u201cWell certainly my husband is retired. We have that choice now to do pretty much whatever we\u2019d like to and I think the reason is a calling. It\u2019s interesting how when you have God in your life that he directs your path and this is a time in our nation\u2019s history when Nevada gets to be the state that really can make a difference in a nation and it\u2019s purely because the most powerful man in the U.S. Senate resides in, well, he resides in the penthouse suite in Washington DC in the Ritz-Carlton but his residency is here in Nevada. He\u2019s supposed to be representing us and he\u2019s not representing us.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, in a real interview, my very next question would have been &#8220;How is he not representing us?&#8217; or &#8220;Describe what you, if elected would do differently&#8221;. But that&#8217;s not important.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>David Brody: You mentioned that this was a \u201ccalling\u201d. I think that was the word you used. When you got into this race back in the primary take us through that spiritually. You mentioned the word \u201ccalling\u201d and in Evangelical terms we think of a \u201ccalling\u201d as something that God has really put on your heart to do. Did you get that sense?<\/p>\n<p>Sharron Angle: \u201cWell I did but it\u2019s been a real preparatory thing. When God calls you he also equips you and He doesn\u2019t just say well today you\u2019re going to run against Harry Reid. There is a preparation. Everyone in the Bible when you read the Bible you can see that preparatory time. Moses has his preparatory time. Paul had his preparatory time. Even Jesus had his preparatory time and so my preparation began on a school board\u201d (Angle goes on to list all of the qualifications that prepared her for this Senate run)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is hilarious. She lists all these great Biblical characters (herself included) making note that they all had to prepare for the trials of life that God had laid before them. When it&#8217;s time to actually list what her prep to be in the Senate is, well, they don&#8217;t bother to tell you what they are. The details, apparently, are not of great import. Just know and have faith that she&#8217;s done stuff, has run the gauntlet, and is prepared to be Senator because it&#8217;s what God wants her to do. <\/p>\n<p>In the whole interview, she comes off as having delusions of grandeur; she is The Chosen One! I was tempted to change her name from &#8220;Angle&#8221; to &#8220;Angel&#8221;. It&#8217;s just that rife with religious pathos.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: Angle does have experience, and some of what I&#8217;m reading about her I do like. But, if her campaign doesn&#8217;t do better than this at marketing the politician that is Sharron Angle, and stop portraying her as the new patron saint of Nevada,  she&#8217;ll probably lose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Stupid%20Politics%20-%20Why%20%28unfortunately%29%20%20Harry%20Reid%20Will%20Win...\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>Because, at least in this interview.\u00a0 his competitor seems to have a messianic complex five times greater than Obama&#8217;s!
