TPMDC has a recent quote from Republican Tea Party queen, Sharron Angle:
It has become commonplace for Republicans to claim that Democratic policies violate this or that part of the Constitution. But Nevada's Senate Republican candidate Sharron Angle is taking that one step further, claiming that her opponent's legislative victories amount to a violation of the Bible's First Commandment.
"[T]hese programs that you mentioned -- that [President] Obama has going with [Harry] Reid and [Nancy] Pelosi pushing them forward -- are all entitlement programs built to make government our God," Angle said in a little noticed interview with Christian Radio this past spring. "And that's really what's happening in this country is a violation of the First Commandment. We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government. We're supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government."
Huh? "...a violation of the First Commandment...." I want to know if Sharron Angle sits up at night and writes down these kooky thoughts or does she just say whatever random crazy idea that crosses her mind?
Then, there is the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, Ken Buck, who said this--- (Colorado Independent):
QUESTION: How do you feel about abortion? Are you for abortion, against abortion, are you for it? In what instances would you allow for abortion?
BUCK: I am pro-life, and I’ll answer the next question. I don’t believe in the exceptions of rape or incest. I believe that the only exception, I guess, is life of the mother. And that is only if it’s truly life of the mother...
Is this guy nuts? Would he feel the same way if he was talking about his own daughter?
Finally, a Republican candidate for Colorado governor, Dan Maes, came up with a new conspiracy theory.
Huffington Post:
...Dan Maes, however, isn't going down without a fight, and has apparently decided to go all out in competition for Tancredo's natural constituency -- ridiculous xenophobes. So, what crazy paranoia over the creeping menace of foreigners is Maes fearmongering about? Let's ask the Denver Post:
Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes is warning voters that Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's policies, particularly his efforts to boost bike riding, are "converting Denver into a United Nations community."
OMG!!!!! Dan Maes thinks that promoting bicycle riding is dangerous and un-American. Is Maes for real????
Do these Republican Tea Party nut jobs have a vitamin deficiency or some missing gene that causes them to say stupid, unbelievable stuff? Can you imagine what type of elected official they'd make? Hopefully, voters won't vote for any of the above and similar candidates that speak in a similar, loony fashion.
