Stupid Is as Stupid Does

if Nevada voters are insane enough to vote Sharron Angle for the United States Senate over incumbent Harry Reid.

I agree with the editor of the Las Vegas Sun and don't think voters there are that dumb despite a rather vocal wingnut contingent.

From the editorial:

The good news for voters is that they don’t need reporters’ questions answered to make an intelligent decision Tuesday. All we need do is pay attention to what Angle has said for years, meant for decades and believed forever. She has answered all the unanswered questions. The reason she has refused to tell voters what she thinks now is because she can’t think of a responsible way to tell people that she is nuts! At least nuts in the extreme sort of way that will move this country backward.

Angle would dismantle Social Security and Medicare, calling them biblical sins; do away with Veterans Affairs; not require insurance companies to pay for mammograms, and screenings for prostate and other cancers that we know can save lives with early detection; or refuse to require background checks for sex offenders. These are all norms of American daily living that people take for granted and expect that those who we elect won’t take them away. Angle would.

In a state that has been devastated by the economic meltdown and that needs jobs, jobs, jobs, Angle has been abundantly clear that it is not the job of Nevada’s U.S. senator to help create jobs for Nevadans! Even worse, she has stated publicly how she really feels about Nevadans crushed by this meltdown. She believes people who need unemployment benefits to keep their homes and food on their tables, until there are jobs to be had, are just spoiled! Give me a break.

"Nuts" doesn't even begin to describe Angle.

The paper's Jon Ralston also believes Harry Reid will win re-election.
