Sharron Angle grilled on Social Security, Medicare and 'taking Harry Reid out'

In her first interview with a mainstream media outlet since winning the GOP nomination for Senate three weeks ago, Sharron Angle, who is challenging Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada, softened her rhetoric Tuesday on ending Social Security and "taking Harry Reid out."

Angle agreed to the half-hour television interview, on the Las Vegas political program "Face to Face," after weeks of avoiding both national and local media requests. The appearance turned the spotlight onto her and off of Reid -- a dangerous gambit that potentially eclipses his unpopularity with an unwanted focus on Angle's more controversial views. But it also allowed her to move past the accusation that she is dodging reporters' questions -- an intentional pivot that will be followed, several Republicans said, with a series of new TV ads turning the subject back to Reid, the economy and the less popular policies that have come out of Washington in the past year.

Angle sought repeatedly during the interview to turn the subject to Reid, blaming him for Nevada's soaring unemployment rate and accusing him of "pillaging" Social Security and over-regulating private industry. She also sought to deflect interviewer Jon Ralston's questions about her more attention-getting views, including past statements that Social Security and Medicare should be privatized and her statement that "If this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies." In the same appearance, Angle drew criticism for saying that "the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out."

In her TV appearance Tuesday, Angle said that she now believes in protecting Social Security by placing the funds needed to pay for current obligations in a "lockbox" while also allowing some manner of privatization for future recipients. On the phrase "take Harry Reid out," Angle said she misspoke and has since changed her choice of words to "defeat Harry Reid."

1. Doesn't believe her own shit

Has the obvious look of someone telling a lie they don't believe. If these personalized social security accounts were so good, she would be able to explain why.
