Goddammit, another election where I have to decide between the lesser of two evils. I’d normally vote for a third party, but she’s making it hard to be apathetic. Initials polls were that she was a shoe-in (mostly a vote against Reid). If she wins, then she’s one of those oppressive government people, and what will happen then? > [@John\_Mace](#): > > Wasn’t there a 3rd choice? > > But this lady is scary.

Harry Reid’s best electoral strategy in this election is probably to buy Sharon Angle lots and lots of TV airtime. ---

Look, this is just one lone nut job and her views don’t reflect the majority of tea partiers or Republicans. It’s really disingenuous of you Liberal Media Elites to try and pin this sort of speech on the voters and make it a broad smear on the good people of Nevada. Also, she probably meant to take Harry Reid out to a movie or dinner or maybe a nice Vegas show. ---

Is there a full transcript of the interview? Because the snippet you’ve quoted doesn’t say anything about predicating armed insurrection on whether the Tea Party loses. ---

Ms. Angle’s spokesman has denied she was advocating armed insurrection (surprise!). But a review of [her positions on some issues](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharron_Angle#Positions) is interesting reading. ---

Doesn’t she realize it’s only OK to suggest insurrection when the blood drenched amoral reptile of the POTUS has an R next to his name? Most of the tea partiers I’ve seen IRL are either 60+ or clueless middle management types who hate Mexicans and gays. Worst revolution _ever_. ---

Hey, **Czarc**! **OakMunster** says to tell you he’s not going to defend the batshit bitch from…what? No, he didn’t say that, you’re right, just that he wasn’t going to…yeah, it _could_ mean that he has an airtight and irrefutable defense right at his fingertips, but refuses to share it with us. I mean, all he said was that he wouldn’t, not that he couldn’t. I mean, not really. Me? Why should I ask him, you fucking ask him, you want to know?

> [@MOIDALIZE](#): > > Is there a full transcript of the interview? Because the snippet you’ve quoted doesn’t say anything about predicating armed insurrection on whether the Tea Party loses. You’re right. She only suggested armed insurrection “if this Congress keeps going the way it is,” which is totally okay. ---
