Let's help Sharron Angle find a way to fight flouride now!

I Just laughed my way through a recounting - in the Las Vegas Review Journal - of Sharron Angle’s schizophrenic antics while in the Nevada Assembly. Talk about the Assemblywoman who couldn’t shoot straight! Shucks, Angle sure was standing tall for her convictions, on the following: “During the 1999 through 2005 sessions, Angle was one of two members of the Assembly to vote against 79 bills that were backed by both Republicans and Democrats. She was the only Assembly member to vote against 39 bills that all other members supported. Over her career, she was listed as the first, or primary, sponsor on 57 bills. Just two of those bills became law. One was a rather innocuous bill that stated motorcycles “must” be equipped with a certain type of taillight. The previous law had stated they “shall” have the taillights. The second, which passed unanimously in 1999, mandated that juveniles or their parents be required to pay restitution, or at least perform community service, when the juveniles injure another person. Her political aides credit her with a third bill, one in which the Legislature made a statement about improving reading.” From this distinguished record alone, you can just see that this firebrand woman means business. You can tell that bigger things are certainly in store. Perhaps like … hefty punishment for those who throw their chewing gum on the ground for others to step in. I’d support this. I hate compulsive gum chewers. Or maybe forcing every person in the United Nations to wear a blue armband so we can identify them and run like hell to the bunker. Uh, oh wait. They already wear blue armbands.
Well, that much is obvious. The legislators could see what kind of power grabber she might become … sheesh. Motorcycle lights, restitution by teenagers and improved reading. Where would it all end? Commie-Marxist-Socialism, no doubt.
This poor woman couldn’t tell if she was “punched or just bored” as Mr. Maven would say.
She voted for a rental car tax in Washoe County to be used to build a baseball stadium, and then turned right around and voted against the same thing in Clark County. Maybe she loves baseball but hates the performing arts.
Angle opposed a 3% cap on residential property taxes and 8% on commercial property taxes because it wasn’t permanent, and yet … wait for it …. proposed a California style Prop. 13 measure that she couldn’t even garner enough signatures to support. Perhaps she hadn’t asked anybody in California to explain how much they now hate Prop. 13 and what a colossal mistake it all was. Oh, and the legislature has yet to ‘tinker’ with that temporary 3/8 % cap ten years later.
Yup. That’s Angle … on the cutting edge. On another planet. Getting her orders beamed in through her tinfoil helmet.
And this is what they would replace Harry Reid with.
Sheesh.
That’s why I think it’s important to watch this ‘old’ Rachel Maddow send up of Angle. It’s a cautionary tale of delusional thinking.
You have to wonder if we’ve been hijacked into an alternate universe, since we’re still talking about Sharron Angle.
I love the part where the guy says “Sharron Angle makes Rand Paul look like Gerald Ford.”
