Cult Watch Title: Reid Rival Angle: My Campaign Is Part Of God's 'Plan' Over the weekend, Republican Senate candidate Sharon Angle told the founder of the Christian Coalition that her campaign was part of God's plan. Angle is trying to build a wide coalition in Nevada between libertarian-leaning Tea Party supporters and social conservatives in an attempt to defeat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Conservative activist Ralph Reed asked Angle about her surging popularity in an interview posted to his website Tuesday. "How do you explain all this?" Reed queried. "You're now a national story, are you kind of overwhelmed by it all?" "I believe that God has been in this from the beginning and because of that when he has a plan and a purpose for your life and you fit into that, what he calls you to he always equipped you for," said Angle. The Huffington Post's San Stein notes that Angle's religion has been more a part of her campaign than other Tea Party candidates. "She is devoutly pro-life, arguing against abortion in cases of rape and incest because 'God has a plan,'" reported Stein. Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody described Angle's effort to unseat Reid as a true "David vs Goliath" scenario. "I think the reason is a calling," she recently told a congregation at a church in Carson City, Nevada. "It's interesting how when you have God in your life that he directs your path." This video is from Ralph Reed, uploaded to YouTube July July 13, 2010.

#3. To: Badeye (#1) Its hilarious Reid is losing to her. Only because she is getting the "she ain't Reid,so I will vote for her" backers who don't know anything else about her yet. Wait until they find out she is a religious loon and watch her numbers drop.
#5. To: sneakypete (#3) Its hilarious Reid is losing to her. Only because she is getting the "she ain't Reid,so I will vote for her" backers who don't know anything else about her yet. Agree with the former, I don't think the latter will hurt her as much as you seem to think. We'll see.
#6. To: Badeye, sneakypete (#5) Agree with the former, I don't think the latter will hurt her as much as you seem to think. Most people don't realize Nevada is one of the few states (maybe the only one) that has "None Of The Above Candidates" on its ballot. If Dirty Harry can get the anti-Reid voters to choose that option, he might squeak it out. Besides, he's a dem - so don't discount the illegals, the dead, and the ACORN vote.
#12. To: Ignore Amos (#6) Most don't realize Harry Reid is a member of the LDS Church. If the Dems want to go 'there'...ooookay. Lets compare kook religious beliefs.
#16. To: Badeye (#12) Most don't realize Harry Reid is a member of the LDS Church. I lived in Nevada for 7 years. I'm sure most Nevada voters know Reid is LDS and don't care. He certainly doesn't come across as a religious zealot.
#21. To: lucysmom (#16) I lived in Nevada for 7 years. Nobody comes across as a 'religious zealot' til the media and/or a political campaign tries to paint somebody as one. If what you say is true about Nevada voters is true, then this line of attack against Angle won't work.
#25. To: Badeye (#21) Nobody comes across as a 'religious zealot' til the media and/or a political campaign tries to paint somebody as one. Well, Sharron Angle seems to have given the media something to work with on that issue.
#26. To: lucysmom (#25) hypocrite.
#28. To: Badeye (#26) delusional.
Replies to Comment # 28. You give one politician a pass on a bizzare religious viewpoint, while trashing the other. Thats not 'delusional' thats reading your posts on this thread.
