Sharron Angle, the GOP nominee
challenging Nevada Senator Harry Reid, doesn't want Intel's
gay-tainted money.
The Associated Press first
reported on a four-page questionnaire filled out by Angle for the
Washington-based group Government is not God, which has endorsed
Angle's candidacy.
Among her positions, Angle opposes
protections based on sexual orientation and gay adoption. She also
believes clergy should be allowed to campaign from the pulpit on
behalf of political candidates, which is currently banned by the
federal government.
The full questionnaire has now been
leaked and the
Washington Post has posted the document on the Internet.
Angle's opposition to gay marriage was
already well established – she boasts about her support for
Nevada's ban on gay marriage at her website – but her dislike for
gay people goes well beyond marriage.
In a section titled POLITICS, Angle, a
Southern Baptist, says she would refuse PAC money from those who are
fundamentally opposed to her views on social issues.
“In reference to question 35A, Intel
Corporation supports 'equal rights for gays' and offers benefits to
'partners' of homosexual employees. Would you refuse funds from this
corporate PAC?”
“Yes,” Angle checked.
The Senate hopeful is married to Ted
Angle. The couple has two children and ten grandchildren.
Senate
Majority Leader Reid, who is facing pressure from gay groups to step
up his support for gay rights bills, narrowly leads Angle in most
polls.
