I’m really skeptical that God communicates with people telling them to run for election to some political office.
But then God has never spoken to me about the subject.
Sharron Angle has said that God called her to run against Harry Reid she told the Christian Broadcasting Network in an interview. [Las Vegas Sun] She goes on to explain “there is a preparation” time. [Las Vegas Sun] She explains that Moses, Paul and even Jesus had their times of preparation.
Sharron indicates her preparation time began on a Nye County school board. I have no idea how serving on a school board prepares one to be a Senator in Congress.
But I have to hand it to Ms. Angle. She seems to be dedicated and tenacious in her run for the Senate. I actually met her once. She was seeking votes at Petrack Park in Pahrump a few years ago during a Fall Festival event. She came up to me with that wonderful smile of hers, introduced herself and asked for my vote and support in whatever office she was running for at that time. She was gracious, polite and frankly likeable. I explained to her I was a Democrat and she shouldn’t expect my vote. Seeing that I was a lost cause she moved onto others in the Park.
She seems like a nice person. I admire her for her seemingly tireless effort to get elected to something. We just see the world through two different sets of eyes. She is reportedly a Southern Baptist. So am I. But we certainly see things differently.
I don’t think Ms. Angle has a frog hair’s chance of beating Harry Reid but it doesn’t seem to dampen her spirits in trying. But I think, in reality, she is a bit delusional in thinking she actually has a chance to unseat Senator Reid.
Confusing politics with religious beliefs is not uncommon. But they are two different things.
Jon Ralston says Sharron is falling behind Harry in the polls. He is leading her 44-37. [Las Vegas Sun] In fact Ralston declares Angles’ campaign as “dead.”

Hi Jack!! I agree politicians that are clammering -to mesh the two issues and again its her Washington handlers; like Sarah; like Sharon etc etc. The insult is that they’re just assuming the regular citizens and voters are too stupid to figure out the facts for themselves. Or, that since she’s female; we women will vote for her or sarah= back then; or that the polls indicate my opinion; they don’t because they never call me. on and on and on
She’s just running on the fuel of that sector of people that don’t like Reid and she has no substance. It’s a hard fight to get out of this recession and its by-products but blaming the Democrats isn’t going to help anybody out. That’s all they’re about is the hate and discontent and NO SOLUTIONS..Maybe they should be made to stand on the senate floor the entire time and really have to discuss their filibuster 24/7 non-stop since that is there make sure we fail tactic. I am really sick of them…
