"Now it's been revealed (by, I am guessing, a simple Lexis-Nexis search) that Angle is a staunch opponent of the fluoridation of our water supply.
The Nevada state Assembly voted 26-16 to fluoridate the water of two Nevada counties. Angle voted against the bill. Not because of something defensible, like fluoridation being a waste of taxpayer money, but because she believed conspiracy theories about fluoridation.
[Bill proponent Chris Giunchigliani] attributed the reluctance of Angle and others to back the bill to its potential financial effect on Washoe County. ....
But Angle said she simply does not like fluoride.
'The fluoride solutions used in fluoridation must not contain any quantity of lead, arsenic, mercury, or any other substance that may be considered hazardous to human health,' she said. During hearings, Angle said witnesses testified most states use an industrial fluoride that contains such substances.
Opposition to fluoridation based on the supposed presence of toxins is basically a red flag that you're dealing with an unreconstructed classic paranoid right-winger of a very old vintage. (Most American drinking water has been fluoridated since the 1950s and very few of us have suffered adverse effects.)"
Teabagger + Anti-Fluoridation = THE TEA PARTY DOES NOT WANT US TO HAVE GOOD DENTAL HYGIENE!
You all have been warned.
