Once again, Nevada Republican Sharron Angle has demonstrated her unique grasp of the issues and the electoral process. When Las Vegas reporter Nathan Baca asked her about national security policy and a Nevada military base, she replied: “I’ll answer those questions when I’m the Senator.”
Mrs. Angle also added this bit of foreign policy wisdom: “You know, the two wars that we’re in right now is exactly what we’re in.”
Earlier this year, Mrs. Angle was equally frank in answering the same reporter’s questions about her stated plans to privatize social security and overthow the U.S. government by force of arms. She fled.
The Tea Party favorite had also invited local media to a July press conference then fled without answering any questions. Now that’s the kind of courage Nevada deserves in the U.S. Senate.

Recently I was at a meeting with senior people for Northrop, Bechtel and Fluor in which they discussed donating large sums of money to Sharron Angle through American Crossroads. They also discussed how they were “assured she was our girl” after a meeting with her people on Yucca Mountain.
If everyone is ok with large companies using organizations like American Crossroads to hide behind and donate unlimited money and then get assurances of key votes that would make millions in return for their donations, then terrorist are a much smaller threat to our Democracy and Freedom then our own corporations and political candidates.
I made a video discussing these meetings …. (See it here runs about 8 min -ml)
