The Associated Press reports that Nevada Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle has further outlined some of her right-wing positions, in a questionnaire she submitted to a Washington-based conservative group called the “Government is not God” committee.
For example, Angle believes that clergy should be able to endorse candidates from the pulpit while maintaining their tax-exempt status, and on school prayer she believes that teachers should be able to talk about religion and “publicly acknowledge the Creator.” And of course, she opposes any laws that would enable gays to adopt children. She also opposes offering civil rights protections based on sexual orientation.
The report of this questionnaire, and this political committee’s name, has an interesting correspondence to Angle’s recent comments that Harry Reid’s liberal programs were part of attempt to “make government our God” and thus a violation of the First Commandment.
The TPM Poll Average currently gives Reid a lead of 45.1%-42.7%.
