Oh lawdy, lawdy. Just LOOK at this piece of drivel I received in my inbox, from Barbara Boxer. I have no idea where she would have gotten my email addy, but get it she did.

Barbara Boxer might want fluoride in her water, but I do not. On that issue I'm with Angle.

And Boxer might think the theory has been debunked (a connection between abortion and breast cancer) but I don't happen to agree on that issue.

Boxer can talk a long walk off a short pier. SOMEONE FROM THE ALTERNATIVE WORLD NEEDS TO SET HER STRAIGHT, no? Her and about a gazillion other boneheads in our government.

I don't agree with all of Angle's angles. But on those two, she is more correct than she is wrong, for sure.

===================

Last week, Nevada Republicans chose an extreme right-wing, Tea Party candidate -- Sharron Angle -- to take on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Angle's views are so radical and out-of-the-mainstream that we certainly can't take this election for granted.

A victory over Harry Reid in Nevada would embolden extreme Tea Party activists all across the country -- so we need to pull out all the stops to defend Harry now.

Click here to contribute to Harry Reid's campaign -- and keep Harry Reid standing by me in the Senate. [MINE: Uh, no thanks, I'll pass on the contribution. These guys already have more damn money than they can handle (pun intended).]

Take a look at how outside the mainstream Sharron Angle is:

    She opposed fluoride in the public water supplies because she claimed it might contain "lead, arsenic, [or] mercury." Meanwhile, the Center for Disease Control has recognized water fluoridation as "one of the 10 great public health achievements of the 20th Century."

    She proposed a bill in the Nevada Legislature to require doctors to inform women seeking abortions about a debunked theory linking abortions to an increased risk of breast cancer -- a myth spread by anti-choice forces to discourage women seeking legal medical procedures.

    She responded to the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico by actually suggesting that we should deregulate Big Oil.

    She stated her belief that it is unacceptable and wrong for both parents to hold jobs simultaneously.

    She favors abolishing Social Security, the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, and the Environmental Protection Agency.


Despite these radical views, which place her far beyond the fringe of American politics, Sharron Angle was able to win her primary last week and deliver a huge victory to right-wing extremists. Now they're rallying behind her and getting ready to throw everything they have at Harry Reid.


This is from an e-newsletter so I have no link, although you could go to Barbara Boxer's web site and find it, no doubt.
