Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s campaign today launched a new TV ad attacking his GOP opponent Sharron Angle for her comment that she would not have worked to help save the CityCenter project when it was desperate for financing.
Reid said he wielded his influence as Senate Majority Leader to help convince the project’s financers not to abandon the project in the wake of the financial industry meltdown. Executives at MGM Resorts International, the project’s owner and Reid’s largest campaign donor, have credited Reid with saving the project and the 22,000 construction and resort jobs associated with it.
When asked last week by a caller to a conservative talk show whether she would have made a similar intervention, Angle said no.
The Reid campaign is building the case that Angle, with her conservative anti-government philosophy, would do little to help the Nevada economy if she is elected. Meanwhile, Reid says he can point to specific concrete projects he has helped that have provided jobs, even if most of the economic indicators in Nevada prove the state continues to suffer more from the recession than almost any other in the nation.
Angle argues the only way for the government to help the economy is to “get out of the way” of private industry through lower taxes and less regulation.
And of course, according to what Harry said yesterday, none of those jobs were or are being filled by "undocumented Americans". :)
how much did Reid give the the banks for bailouts to guarentee the loan. and were these new jobs or just job transfers. Thanks Reid for the 14 % unemployment
Gulp, it might interest you to know that TARP, which bailed out the banks, passed in 2008, during the presidency of George W. Bush, whose treasury secretary, Henry Paulson, supported it. As for the undocumented workers, boftx, I wonder what jobs they do now that you would be willing to do for what they are paid. Also, what concerned Senator Reid in this case was that NO ONE would get jobs, and more jobs would be lost if MGM went in the tank. So, he did what he has done many times over the years: saved our bacon. And he didn't ask whether it involved Democrats or Republicans; it involved Nevadans.
By the way, Reid isn't the only U.S. senator from Nevada who made the calls. John Ensign also made calls, making him a liberal/big government/socialist too. By the way, the major difference was, when H.M. Reid called, people listened. When J.E. Ensign called, they asked, who?
There are damn few jobs that I haven't been willing to do for minimum in my lifetime at one time or another.
I would rank busboy and gas station store clerk (graveyard shift) to be the most undesirable jobs I have done for minimum wage. I have no problems taking any job I can find when needed. I have held as many as 3 low-paying jobs at one time in order to make ends meet. But you CAN'T get even those jobs because of current hiring practices favoring illegals when possible. After all, they can't complain about illegal practices now, can they?
But yes, I am accustomed to earning much more than that, and currently am.
Its funny to hear people complain about Obama and illegals, when in 2009 Obama's administration deported more illegals than Bush did in any one of his 8 years in office. And is projected in 2010 to deport even more than 2009. Obama's administration is working smarter, not harder, to deport illegals, running workplace audits run by one agent rather than a raid involving 25 agents.

Just goes to show you the conservatives are always on the opposite side of the truth.
Harry Reid has absolutely NOTHING to brag about throughout his leadership. Things are as bad as they have EVER been in Nevada, and are only getting WORSE. Unfortunately Mr. Reid will try to pull out all the stops and blame the opposite party, however when he was so busy pushing the horrid healthcare bill on the country who didn't want it, things were sliding off the deep end here in our state, and he ignored us. The upcoming election this fall is going to be about all of the so called elected leaders who failed us, and voted yes on the hated health care bill going down for the count and deservedly so! So long Harry, it's back to Searchlight for you.
Right on, Harry Reid tells it like it is.
The economy is getting better and these
desperate, greedy republicans know it.
Angle will lose BIG in November.
GIVE EM HELL, HARRY.
Harry Reid and his Democrat comrades failed us..
The only thing Reid can use to defend himself is look at the money I brought back to Nevada. That's so lame. What good did it do for Nevada? Maybe it lined the pockets of his political cronies, but some 15% of Nevadans are still out of work.
The GOP ad is correct -- the numbers are accurate and scary! How much more of this can we take, here in Nevada and across the nation...everyone is suffering from the sheer incompetence of the current administration in Washington. It's definitely time for a change!
Take a look at what Sharron Angle stands for, instead of calling her all kinds of crazy names. That's childish. Sharron Angle beleives strongly in cutting spending -- she will help to bring some fiscal sanity to the mess in Washington. The country is nearly bankrupt and Obama still continues to spend and Reid continues to enable him. That needs to stop before the whole country goes bankrupt.
Being fair and honest, Reid did have some culpability in helping City Center, so I give him credit for that. No one person can be all bad, what Reid does 85% of the time I loath and am disappointed by, the other 15% I do support. The problem is the 85% destroys any chance I will support him. One good deed doesn't make up for 5 bad ones...
JanK..............
You sound like a FOX news junkie.
Where were you when Bush and the republicans
were busy ruining the economy?
Where were the crazy teabaggers then?
The republican lie about Iraq broke our
economy.
Republicans blew the money out of our country.
President Obama and Harry Reid are fixing the
mess you republicans left us.
We have to spend on Americans for Americans
to make our country better.
Sharron Angle's plans are useless.
This woman has NO CLUE.
WE NEED HARRY REID.
Let's see, Harry Reid helped save 22,000 Nevada jobs. Sharrontology Obtuse Angle believes her job does NOT involve caring about any of our jobs. And GOoPers wonder why I and most everyone else I know consider Sharrontology a wackadoodle extreme right crackpot?
If it weren't for Reid making those calls to save CityCenter, most of us probably wouldn't even be here writing about this blog. (We'd all be fleeing a state in collapse...)
Like it or not Bush has been out of office for 19 months. He was cr@p, and his approval rating was 33% when he left office, so the argument "where were you" isn't valid, 67% were against him in the end. Like it or not Fox News has over 13-15 Million viewers on a given day, which is more than MSNBC, CNN and HLN combined. They may have opinionated people on there, but at least they cover both sides most of the time.
Crazy Angle said she wouldn't have made those calls because it's not the job of a US Senator to help the workers they represent.
That's nutty by anyones standards.
'WE ARE ALL PIGOUVIANS NOW'
Arthur C. Pigou showed that the elasticity of the Real Demand for Labour in the aggregate, which gives us the shape of the quaesitum, namely the Real Demand for Labour can be written...
E,=(Q'(X)/Q(X)).(F'(X)/F"(X))
Thus Professor Pigou's "elasticity of the Real Demand for Labour in the aggregate is, depending partly on the "physical and the technical conditions in industry"...
Arthur C. Pigou..."The Theory of Unemployment"
Therefore, when Ms. Angle states that it is not the job of a Senator to create jobs she is accurate. Yet she should also state, the argument can be made that no Senator can be held accountable for jobs that are lost unless he/she created the conditions upon which they were lost.
However, it is the job of a Senator to create the conditions which will make it conducive for job growth. And when we review Harry Reid's past accomplishments the list are quite long...VA hospital, Solar Industry, CivicCenter Profect and on, and on.
My suggestion for Ms. Angle would be to take a "dose" of economics, it will do you well; for man/woman can not live on buzzwords alone.
Sharron Angle said today that she is running
against Harry Reid because of a calling from
GOD.
This woman is as crazy as George Bush.
She went over the edge.
Oh my gosh, teamster.
Now she's hearing voices in her head and thinks it's God??!!?!?
teamster :
Everything that you post I voraciously disagree with. That being said I admire your response to Jan K. That does not mean however that you are failing to mention Harry Reid's role in the Bush/governmment leadership meltdown..
Whats the point in blaming Harry Reid for the lousy economy? The entire country is in recession! To blame any one person is ridiculous. I blame unregulated Wall St.
sharron psycho smile angle hates las vegas...
she is a religious zealot...
she wants poor innocent girls who were the tragic victims of an incestuous rape to die during child birth...
she could care less about sin city...
psycho sharron wants city center to fail...
psycho sharron wants yucca to open and our kids to glow in the dark...
psycho sharron hates las vegas...
plain and simple...
psycho sharron is an evil evil person...
Birdie... You're correct.
Sharron Angle has NOTHING to offer Nevada.
Can't wait till Angle brings out the ads showing how Reid supported a healthcare bill that is now funding abortions. Don't believe me read this http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/6938... The second biggest liar in the country next to Barrack is Harry. November is coming and the lights will be out in Searchlight!!! Even Press Secretary Gibbs knows it's over for the Dems in Novemeber.. CBS ran a poll and shows that only 13% of Americans believe the current agenda is benefiting them. The people have been woken up, goodbye Harry (11/2010) and good riddance Barrack Insane Obama (11/2012)
Teamster please answer to this, can you honestly say that not one (1) illegal, undocumented, whatever you want to call them immigrant did not get any work with the stimulus package money in Nevada?
In 2008, as during most years, we were in Vegas for a convention. I took my wife to a shopping area (not the outlets) as the Gap was there. I, like most men, have no idea what women go through finding jeans to fit. At the Gap she found jeans, and; I paid over $220 before I heard the Obama love from the manager. After several more stores of Obama love I took my wife back to the MGM Grand. Now, I still had suits to buy after dropping the wife off, and; I got the Obama crap there, too, after I paid dearly.
All seemed to believe in instant wealth redistribution. It was like-" Our great hope is coming."One Muslim owner really ticked me off." I said nothing. I told my wife-"this is not the Vegas we have known since 1980."
Folks, I love your city, but;" you were sold a one ring circus, not the real show, by a man who makes PT Barnum look like a beginner as a con man/master huckster."
Now, I ask you Las Vegas folks, and; I know some have to be in unions to work steady in Vegas. "Do you really believe the good times are dead for your city?" I will tell you -they are not. They will be dead for good if you keep believing this Dem class warfare and wealth redistribution BS. This country cannot spend it's way out of debt. Not a one of us can blow money like Obama and his party have. Are you ready to pony up 42K for everyone in your family? That is what has been blown by Obama and Dems plus some greedy Reps, too. I do not know about you, but; back in 2007 a sign in a hospital ER said- If you are Hispanic no proof of Insurance needed." I darn near hit the roof. We cannot shop till we drop like our President and his Dem House and Congress have done. Us ordinary folks damn sure cannot spend over 35% of our total income on debts, if that. How can these clowns in both Houses of Congress blow our money like this? They could not if they were not bought and paid for by unions/PAC's and AARP, etc. Obama and Reid use the SEIU, ACORN, plus much more to do anything to win. It is power.
They work for us. They need to answer every darn email and letter you and I send them. My money is not going to people who do not know that Soc Sec is nothing but IOU's!
Blaming Bush is darn old. Should Gen Petraeus blame McChrystal if he fails? Heck, the darn Pres is the CIC. Blame him. I am tired of seeing my country being destroyed in front of me. I am only 63. I was shot twice in war in April 69, and; I wonder how real men can refuse to serve.
middletoright said: "They (Fox News) may have opinionated people on there, but at least they cover both sides most of the time."
THAT'S THE BEST JOKE I'VE HEARD ALL DAY!!!
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is just getting warmed up!! Watch out Angle!!!
City Center employees and your friends at MGM Resorts International, remember what Angle said about City Center come election time!!!! NO HELP!!!!!
Bravo Repukeblicans!!!!

"Can't wait till Angle brings out the ads showing how Reid supported a healthcare bill that is now funding abortions. Don't believe me read this http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/6938...
I did. Still don't believe you, and I've never heard of the CNSNews.com either, so I did some research.
CNSNews.com or Cybercast News Service (formerly Conservative News Service), is an American news website owned by the Media Research Center.
Media Research Center was founded in 1987 by conservative activist L. Brent Bozell III. Bozell served as president of the Parents Television Council, currently serves on the board for the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights and has served on the board of directors in the American Conservative Union.
He seems like an upstanding guy....
The MRC has received financial support from several foundations, including the Bradley, Scaife, Olin, and Castle Rock foundations.
I wonder what they're all about?????
The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, is a conservative foundation with about half a billion US dollars in assets.
The Sarah Scaife Foundation is one of the American Scaife Foundations. It is controlled by Richard Mellon Scaife.
Where have I heard of him before? Oh yeah...
RM Scaife owns and publishes the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Scaife is known for his financial support of conservative and right-wing public policy organizations. He has provided support for conservative causes. Scaife also helped fund the Arkansas Project, which ultimately led to the impeachment proceedings of President Bill Clinton.
That was a great use of taxpayer dollars, huh? Back to Sarah Scaife...
The Sarah Scaife Foundation concentrates its efforts towards causes focused on public policy on a national and international level. The organizations it has supported include the George C. Marshall Institute and Project for the New American Century. GMI is a politically conservative think tank with a focus on disputing mainstream scientific opinion on climate change. PNAC exerted influence on high-level U.S. government officials in the Bush II administration and affected military and foreign policies regarding national security and the Iraq War.
What are they, the Illuminati?
The John M. Olin Foundation was a grant-making foundation established in 1953 by John M. Olin, president of the Olin Industries chemical and munitions manufacturing businesses. It officially disbanded on November 29 of that year after having disbursed over $370 million in funding, primarily to conservative think tanks and media outlets.
Like CNSNews.com!!!
The Castle Rock Foundation is a conservative foundation started in 1993 to fund conservative initiatives intent on curtailing the rights of minorities and homosexuals.
That's just mean.
Nice try, darthy my boy.
Frau Angle opposes "big government" intervention in business affairs. However, she supports "big government" subsidies to the nuclear industry, in the form of the Yucca Mtn. FEDERAL nuclear waste dump. She supports "big government" subsidies the the oil industry, in the form of military occupation of middle eastern oil fields under the guise of the "war on terror".
Frau Angle supports nuclear socialism and petro-socialism.

I know it's from Fox news so it's got to be a lie right!
I worked a lot of minimum wage jobs too and they would not have paid that had the Government not set the wages.
Nevada would be in even worse shape without Reid bringin' home the bacon!
Our country is making a slow but steady recovery
from the BUSH DEPRESSION and republican
incompetence.
These greedy republicans should be kept out of
power for at least 20 years, for the HUGE damage
that they have caused our great country.
President Obama and Harry Reid are doing a great
job fixing this Bush mess but it will take time.
Republican incompetence can't be fixed
overnight.
Where's the part about Searchlight Harry slamming the Obamination????????????
Everyone bought into the belief that real estate value would continue to rise. There would be fluctuations, but they were minor and corrected over relatively short periods of time. Real estate values had not declined since the great depression (real estate industry mantra). With everyone on the same page, a bubble developed slowly at first,noticable by the late 70's, then with greater speed culminating with the frenzy witnessed in Las Vegas beginning in the late nineties. So by 2006 homes were unaffordable and the only way they sold were for massive collusion by many players to fudge the numbers to get people into homes they were only going to occupy until the note re-adjusted to an unaffordable payment level.
The only role politicians played was to facilitate the process, both parties did so, urged on by big money contributors and everyday citizens alike.
Are there any Kennedy Democates in Nevada? They all sound like far left wing nut cases. First of all...Fox News is #1 in America because most Americans want both sides of the issue, not just MSNBC hate mongering. Most of todays media outlets aren't democate leaning, they are far left nuts that do not have one good thing to say about hard working legal Americans. We are going to take back this country and if the leftys don't like it....LEAVE. Just think if we had 2 or 3 more channels like FOX NEWS. WOW
Ms. Angel says it is not her job to help others get jobs. Ms. Angel says that collecting SS after paying into it for 45 years is welfare.
What is Ms. Angel going to do for the people of Nevada. So far nothing that I can see. It is NOT HER JOB according to her.
To many people are running on the "Anyone but Harry" ticket. We need to find someone that has some real idea's if you plan on replacing him.
James1954, you have summed it up perfect!!! These brainwashed liberal morons will soon be eating their words, come Nov....As for Bush..OMG..he WAS bad, and his adm.also..stunk.. but two wrongs do NOT make a right, I thought OB was going to change all that?? He changed things, but not for the citizens of THIS country. We have to take back our country from this government..Right or Left does NOT matter, Washington needs an enema..and thankfully "WE THE PEOPLE" are about to administer that for them.
REID CAN SPEND ALL THE MONEY HE HAS ON SPREADING HIS LIES BUT HE CAN'T HIDE THE TRUT AND FACTS SUCH AS NEVADA'S 14.2% UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AND THE HIGHEST FORECLOSURE RATES AND ALL THE BAD THINGS NEVADANS GET. WHEN REID WINS RE-ELECTION HE WILL FORGET ABOUT NEVADANS AGAIN AND WILL STAY IN WASHINGTON DC TO PUSH, INTIMIDATE AND BRIBE OTHERS WITH TAXPAYERS MONEY TO GET THE OBAMA SOCIALIST AGENDA PASSED LEGISLATIONS.
Angle is WRONG... period!! All of the Country economic woes are the result of lax regulation- or not at all!!
Miss Angle just requested to let the SHARKS roam free and eat all they can!! We are suppose to go forward- not backward- as intelligents and free thinking citizens of this great country of ours- the USA!!!
In just six months, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect and we can thank Harry Reid! They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves on January 1, 2011:
First Wave: Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief
In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families. These will all expire on January 1, 2011:
Personal income tax rates will rise. The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small business profits are taxed). The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent. All the rates in between will also rise. Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect as higher marginal tax rates. The full list of marginal rate hikes is below:
- The 10% bracket rises to an expanded 15%
- The 25% bracket rises to 28%
- The 28% bracket rises to 31%
- The 33% bracket rises to 36%
- The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%
Higher taxes on marriage and family. The "marriage penalty" (narrower tax brackets for married couples) will return from the first dollar of income. The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child. The standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative to the single level. The dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut.
The return of the Death Tax. This year, there is no death tax. For those dying on or after January 1 2011, there is a 55 percent top death tax rate on estates over $1 million. A person leaving behind two homes and a retirement account could easily pass along a death tax bill to their loved ones.
Higher tax rates on savers and investors. The capital gains tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011. The dividends tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011. These rates will rise another 3.8 percent in 2013.
SECOND AND THIRD WAVE BELOW!
In just six months, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect and we can thank Harry Reid! They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves on January 1, 2011:
Second Wave: Obamacare
There are over twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare. Several will first go into effect on January 1, 2011. They include:
The "Medicine Cabinet Tax" Thanks to Obamacare, Americans will no longer be able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin).
The "Special Needs Kids Tax" This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there is no federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children. There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay for this type of special needs education.
The HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike. This provision of Obamacare increases the additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.
In just six months, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect and we can thank Harry Reid! They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves on January 1, 2011:
Third Wave: The Alternative Minimum Tax and Employer Tax Hikes
When Americans prepare to file their tax returns in January of 2011, they'll be in for a nasty surprise--the AMT won't be held harmless, and many tax relief provisions will have expired. The major items include:
The AMT will ensnare over 28 million families, up from 4 million last year. According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center, Congress' failure to index the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families--rising from 4 million last year to 28.5 million. These families will have to calculate their tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level. The AMT was created in 1969 to ensnare a handful of taxpayers.
Small business expensing will be slashed and 50% expensing will disappear. Small businesses can normally expense (rather than slowly-deduct, or "depreciate") equipment purchases up to $250,000. This will be cut all the way down to $25,000. Larger businesses can expense half of their purchases of equipment. In January of 2011, all of it will have to be "depreciated."
Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses. There are literally scores of tax hikes on business that will take place. The biggest is the loss of the "research and experimentation tax credit," but there are many, many others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief will cost jobs.
Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced. The deduction for tuition and fees will not be available. Tax credits for education will be limited. Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses. Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut. Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed. The student loan interest deduction will be disallowed for hundreds of thousands of families.
Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed. Under current law, a retired person with an IRA can contribute up to $100,000 per year directly to a charity from their IRA. This contribution also counts toward an annual "required minimum distribution." This ability will no longer be there.
Thanks Dirty Harry!
Siromega Wrote: "Its funny to hear people complain about Obama and illegals, when in 2009 Obama's administration deported more illegals."
Yeah, and Obama wants to make 12-20 MILLION illegals Americans so they can further erode our already stressed social service system and take more of our jobs! Of course, Harry Reid says there are no illegals in Nevada and if there were they aren't taking American's jobs, even though a recent study found that Nevada has the largest percentage of undocumented workers in the country.
Do you still think it's so funny, Siromega?
@ MichaelGreen, and others who say: "As for undocumented workers [ILLEGAL ALIENS]- I wonder what jobs they do now that you would be WILLING TO DO FOR WHAT THEY ARE PAID.?"
I would love to see ONE CREDIBLE SURVEY, that presents concrete answers as to - WHAT THE SPECIFICAL JOB TYPES ARE -that Illegal Aliens are supposed to be doing, that a U.S. Citizen would not do.
I would also like ONE MORE CREDIBLE SURVEY that has face-to-face responses from UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE that will SHOW )by statements made) that they will not accept the a specific "undocumented worker" type job, if offered.
How about it, Mr. SUN. Will you take do the surveys and report the results? No normalizing etc., either.
Further, if an illegal alien is being paid a low wage (less that minimum wage), such jobs will NEVER become available to anyone UNEMPLOYED. They just won't be hired. Period.
So lets stop trying to prove a ridiculous point as to WHO WILL NOT take an AMBIGIOUS and so far, UNDEFINED job - if offered. We don't know the circumstances of the 15 million people, but YOU CAN BET they want a job.
As for the illegal aliens working in LETTUCE or other fields, if the growers did not hire illegals they could probably cut costs by AUTOMATING the collection of lettuce (and other vegetables) - as they have done with other produce. Manual labor is costly (normally, unless you have illegal slaves).
So beyond whatever work the illegal aliens are doing at "jobs no one else wants" - they are also, inadvertantly, retarding the automation, growth of crop production, and food collection (cultivation) processes.
For instance, you don't see PEOPLE out in a field WATERING vegetables by hand, or planting seeds - one at a time. Automatic sprinkler systems are used. In addition, farmers have tractors, hay balers, harvesters, pickers, pesticide machines, etc. etc. Why are illegals picking lettuce, etc.?
So I believe all this chatter about undesirable jobs is BS. Illegals are being used as SLAVE LABOR. They have no choice if they want to eat. They are paid slave labor wages, which farmers (make that corporations) pay to avoid using more expensive legal labor, or automation.
BOTTOM-LINE: No matter how or where illegals work, they are still ILLEGAL and CRIMINALS. - - By the way, I do NOT THINK most illegals are bad people. They are just unskilled labor, or have to hide their skills so they can stay "under cover."
But if THE CITIZENS of the U.S. offer aid, and don't want to follow our LAWS - but want to champion illegal aliens (even through they don't know WHO the illegals are)- - then those people (La Raza, Al Sharpton, NAACP, et al) will be better off in a country where anarchy rules. And that includes Mr. Reid.
The United States is a nation of laws. So if someone doesn't want to follow the Rule of Law, maybe you don't want to live there. In the mean time - "Don't tread on me."
What we need to do is elect Angle. She will make sure the Bush tax cuts stay in place so we can lose another 2 trillion in revenue. Then with a GOP sweep we can further deregulate wall st, so they can increase their corporate bonuses and rebundle those mortgages giving people another five years before their balloon payments are due; and then we can go through this all over again in five years. You righties have SUCH great ideas! Deregulate and cut taxes ya that's the ticket. And it worked so well too. Then we can refund BP's slush fund and get them drilling again, privatize SocSecurity and most of our problems will be solved. Then the teaparty can start work on the really important work in their agenda; re-instituting slavery, taking away a woman's right to vote, putting gay's back in the closet, and deporting immigrants! You teaparty people have such a great vision of America! Just when you really need George Wallace and Strom Thurman where are they?
If Harry Reid's job was creating jobs, HE FAILED!
I've been waiting for days and STILL no one with praise for Angle? There just ain't enough hate in the people of Nevada for her to prevail.
I mean besides the fact that not liking someone, is NOT a reason to vote for their opponent.
Are the rats leaving the boat after all her brilliant statements?
Hard to defend someone who thinks your Grandma's social security is "welfare" isn't it? Or your's for that matter-you did pay in after-all.
(hold on, it's hard to read the words on my palm)OK got it.
Hard to watch the oil spill and think we owe BP an apology isn't it? How's that slushy fund,drilly thing working for ya?
When you look at your wives and daughters do you ever think about what it might be like to tell them-this is after they have ALREADY been brutalized, that they'll just have to make lemonade from the lemons that God gave them?
Thanks for the great choice teaparty-Harry wants to thank you too. If I was Reid's campaign manager I'd sponsor every speaking engagement for Angle that I could.
so nolonger,
Eliminating the handouts that W gave you is now a HIKE?
LMFAO
Where in the world could you do better?
Do you enjoy the freedom to screw?
Then this is the place 4 U!
Screw away. Just pay the piper from here on out.
"If Harry Reid's job was creating jobs, HE FAILED!"
Then you should feel relieved and vindicated, because your mental superior, Sharron Angle, says creating jobs isn't a Senator's job.
But that would mean Harry Reid got involved with jobs creation when that's not his job!
That means Harry has been spending too much of his time helping to improve employment Nation-wide.
That means Harry thinks Nevada is "a" dog and pony show completely dependent on robust economies outside Nevada!
That means Harry should'a been askin Sharron what to do all along.
Well, at least now we know what Harry's been thinking.
Of course Harry has to be negative ,he has nothing else.Srewing us with health care,taxes will be going up on everything under cap and trade.Amnesty for the illegals.Harry forgot he works for us .We have to get rid of the point man for Obama.Send a message no more Harry.
Harry has to go, get the bags packed and get out of lamestream politics. You have done enough damage and Pelosi as well!
I dont even like Reid but anything would be better than this Angle clown.
Ms. Angle has advocated using Yucca as a reprocessing center but Reid opposes this due to the 76,000 dollar contribution from Energy Solutions a Utah company that wants to reprocess waste there.Today I figured out why the trial lawyers are suporting Dirty Harry, they want the government to pay fourty percent of the costs of litigation. They want thier share of your tax money win or lose.Then there is Health Care Partners, they didn't give much only 40,700 but they supply the imported doctors to make Obamma care work ( traine3d where?) and to stop the investigation. Ms. Angle wants to work towards a plan that sets up future generations retirement so that the Harry Reids of the future can not spend it. Getting rid of the Department of Education makes sense,these decisions should be made at the state level by the folks that live in that state not DC. We are paying farmers not to grow crops. Why? Let the free market prevail and work, Harry's vote is always for sale ask MGM.
Our greatest need at present is for the government to go in the opposite direction, to do much less, rather than much more. As recently as the major recession of 1920-21, the government took a hands-off position, and the downturn, though sharp, quickly reversed itself into full recovery. In contrast, Hoover responded to the downturn of 1929 by raising tariffs, propping up wage rates, bailing out farmers, banks, and other businesses, and financing state relief efforts. Roosevelt moved even more vigorously in the same activist direction, and the outcome was a protracted period of depression (and wartime privation) from which complete recovery did not come until 1946. The US government has shown repeatedly that as an economic manager it is not to be trusted. What we need most are authorities wise enough to follow the dictum, "First, do no harm." The stimulus package will do enormous harm. America is already drowning in debt. No more spending means no more spending. I trust Sharron Angle. Reid had his chance.
With 14% unemployment in Nevada & 10% around the nation I would hope that Nevada would give Harry Reid his walking papers. If they actually re-elect him then they get whatever they deserve. Just too bad they will be dumping their trash on the rest of America.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein......With Nevada ready to fall into the abyss and the horrible unemployment,Nevada would be truly insane to vote for this backdoor man again.Anyone but Harry.Angle would do just fine and would not be a rubber stamp for Obamao.God help if he gets reelected.
I know Harry from "back in the day". Maybe you seen the movie ..... This Rat Bastid is as slimey as a politico should be. He's a "One Trick Pony"....This is your chance NV...Yous gonna take it or what ????
I says, Rub-em-Out !!!
The majority of those jobs at City Center were held by UNION employees. Where were the union leaders in helping out THEIR members? Other than have ridiculous wages and benefits negotiated for their members, what the heck are the dues for? I've never seen the union leadership in any situation helping their members only demanding they want more of everything and then the member has to pay higher dues to the union!
Does everyone here realize we HAVE 2 Senators? The "other one" is never talked about. Is it because he's done nothing worth talking about? Or is because he's a Republican who is not up for election until 2012?
Harry Reid, a career politician who let the state crumble under his watch attacks his opponent. A dirty politician cropped up by dirty union money, really, what would you expect from the sinister Harry Reid. It's a sad day when some would suggest that this idiot is the best thing for us. Have we no morales?
Lets not forget Searchlight Harry crediting the bailout for saving Ford. Here's the fact ------Ford did not take one cent of bailout money!!!!!!! A great example of Searchlight Harry taking far to many hits to the head in his early boxing career. Time to head for that pasture Harry.
NV has a chance to save the US from Reid and the agenda the will destroy the US republic with the nearly 100 years of insidious progressive programs, laws and judicial interventions that have been chipping away at the power We The People hold, protected by the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Sharron Angle is soft-spoken, considerate to the point of deliberate, and well-anchored in constitutionalist political philosophy. Watch her Las Vegas Review Journal editorial board interview and you will know why you will vote for Sharron Angle and not just vote for getting Reid out. About 1 hour long.
