Update: She's [still] not on our team.

Tags: Are You Kidding Me?!, NV-Sen, GOP Opponents

When I last wrote about Sharron Angle, the far-right and ultra-conservative candidate running against Sen. Harry Reid in Nevada, I wasn't expecting to change her mind on the issues. She's received the anti-choice endorsement of the Susan B. Anthony List and believes that job creation is not the business of the US Senate. She's pretty entrenched in the other side's camp.

But, I was nearly speechless to learn today that she believes women and young girls ought to turn a "lemon situation into lemonade" in response to being asked what she would advise a young girl to do who has been raped by her father.

Let's not mince our words in this scenario -- Sharron Angle is talking about young girls, twelve and thirteen years old having to carry their father's child to term. It is incomprehensible to me.

And where is the Republican party to denounce this candidate? Is the NRSC going to withdraw their support? It's nothing more than a silent endorsement from the other side of Sharron's prehistoric views.
