On the heels of one of the gloomiest ads of the campaign season, GOP senate nominee Sharron Angle today released a positive ad focusing on her limited government credentials.
The ad features Angle talking to a small group of supporters in a brightly lit room with the requisite inspirational music running in the background. It’s quite the contrast with her last ad, which carried ominous music and images associated with the recession she holds her opponent, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, accountable for.
In her new ad, Angle vows to bring “liberty and freedom” to future generations instead of “debt and deficit.”
“Government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem,” she says to the group, who nod in support.
The new ad is geared toward boosting her image with voters, particularly among moderate voters. The latest polls have her trailing Reid for the first time amid the sustained, well-funded attack he launched on Day 1 of the general election.
The more Nevada learns about Angle's extreme views, the less they like her http://bit.ly/dCP5Xe
The Reid boys are both heading back to Searchlight in November. Why is Rory so ashamed of his last name?
I'm not a big fan of Angle, but I am encouraged to see a politician running a positive ad focused on themselves instead of a negative ad focused on the opponent.
Don't know much about her either. But I know well Reid is bad for Nevada and not working for Nevada and should be voted out.
>>In her new ad, Angle vows to bring "liberty and freedom" to future generations instead of "debt and deficit."
"Government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem,"<<
Yet she would grow government to criminally prosecute a 17 year old girl, impregnated by her father, who gets an abortion, thereby taking away her liberty.
What a hoax. I cannot vote for someone who would subjugate half of our population's liberty to the other half based on the fac that they can have a baby. I cannot vote for someone who believes that "second ammendment solutions" are the way to change our country. I cannot vote for someone who believes that massages from scientologists are the way to punish prisoners. I cannot vote for someone who believes that people who collect unemployment because big business killed their jobs are "spoiled". I cannot vote for someone who would end social security, eliminating the safety net for our senior citizens. These are not fictions; these are Sharron Angle's positions on the issues, and I cannot vote for Sharron Angle.
What an amazingly diverse crowd of white people over the age of 60.
Over the week-end Mrs. Angle released a document providing her position on 13 issues which are extremely important not only to the people of NV, but to the entire country. This document is on the internet. Those who critize her might wish to read the document, then reconsider their positions in light of theses facts.
I'm no Reid fan, but things could definitely be worse... much much worse..
I don't believe there is a simple, common-sense solution to every complex problem, especially when it comes to economics. I can't get on this tea party bandwagon that seeks to put less educated, simple minded people in control of our country.
To be honest, i'd rather drop a brick on my foot than vote for Angle.
Reid is a dinosaur and has led Nevada into a ditch. Angle is not connected but at least I believe she will respond to her constituents. Would you rather trust Reid or yourself?
Vegas Engineer who described the tea partiers as "less educated simple minded" should probably attend a few of these events. He might just run into college professor or two of his, probably a number of his co-workers,and some of the rest of us who hold Bachelors Degrees,some even MBAs,who can see that the country is headed down the path to financial ruin and are setting about changing that path. True, there are some "less educated" at these events, but they are not nearly as "simple minded" as he believes them to be.
Edgewise, I know your real name is Rory.
If you look at the span of the room you will notice it was quite a diverse crowd. Also keep in mind that seniors are the ones that come out in mid-term elections.
I'm 44, a business owner with over 400 employees in Clark County and of Cherokee descent.
The taxes that Reid has supported over the last eighteen months will reduce my work force by half. Taxing small business will only advance unemployment in this country as small business owners will reduce overhead in order to maintain EBITDA. Companies are reducing staff at a staggering allotment to maintain profits in their business. It's called free enterprise and Harry Reid is killing it.
The Vegas Engineer is right! Things can and will get worse, much worse if you keep voting the same people that caused this mess back in office. If you keep blaming Bush but not the House and Senate, your just fooling yourself. they are all to blame. But the real blame also goes to the People that keep putting the same crooks back in office. LETS VOTE FOR CHANGE, REAL CHANGE. Give Angle a chance, let her help fix the problem. If in 4 years she hasn't helped, well we can put another person in. But please, give her a chance .
Johnniek, I agree 100%, but it's six years.
LOL! Good one.
edgewise:
"What an amazingly diverse crowd of white people over the age of 60."

I wonder how many of those gray-haired retirees are receiving government assistance of some type like Psycho Sharron's husband does?
No thanks Johnnie - I won't support a woman who doesn't believe that fellow women can and will make the best decision for their bodies and their lives.
She's not interested in fixing any problems, she's interested in legislating morality. What was that about City Center? Coal, nuclear dumping, really? Lemonade out of lemons? Gods plan? Seperation of church and state? Second amendment remedies? The list goes on and on.
Reid is caught in a firestorm of a recession - it's a GLOBAL RECESSION though - hardly the fault of one man... he's done an amazing job during his career, continuing to help Nevada.
Johnniek thinks US Senators serve four-year terms.
Another informed right-wing voter.
hey psycho sharron...
what we are afraid of is...
YOU...
you and your psycho smile...
you and your psycho views on...
social security...
medicare...
religion and government...
abortion...
yucca mountain...
city center...
and on and on and on...
quite frankly dear...
you and your old bag yellow toothed psycho smile...
well...
you're a PSYCHO!!!
Birdie, Birdie, Birdie. Such crass name calling. Your intellect is showing. Maybe you need to get you some.
Sharon Angle (R) all the way! No way I would ever vote to crop up a crooked senator like Reid. It's time for new leadership in Nevada, something we haven't had in a lomg, long time.
Sorry about the 4 year mistake, I know better, just in a hurry GOING TO WORK.
Las Vegas' unemployment rate soared to 14.5% while our dirty senator Harry "Backdoor" Reid runs ads to "destroy" his opponent". Reid has dismal results on his clock. It's time he is fired, we've had enough of Reid's dirty politicics.
I've been to a tea party event or two, just to check it out, and the people that aug describes either sat quietly in the corner, or weren't there at all because everybody I talked to fell into a few groups...
the people who were angry at the govt and wanted to abolish the parts they don't understand.. this usually included anything financial related. this does not include the military of course.
the crazy people trying to out-crazy each other.
the people pimping their republican candidate.
the people trying to make a buck off the people there.
I think people need to remember that it wasn't overspending that caused this recession. It was the repeal of financial regulations, under the guise of keeping our financial institutions competitive internationally. I read an interview with the former CEO of morgan stanley the other day and he said he regretted lobbying so hard to repeal glass-steagall. While it might not have prevented the housing bubble, it probably would have been smaller, and it certainly would have prevented it's spread across the entire financial system. The ripple effect across the entire economy would have been minimal, and we wouldn't have sectors like construction that were decimated.
Ironically, my dropout uncle works in the construction industry happens to be an avid tea partier.
I thought it "Wasn't a Senator's job to create jobs" DesertSun? You can't have it both ways you know..
"In her new ad, Angle vows to bring "liberty and freedom" to future generations instead of "debt and deficit." This is positive? It says, your current administration is bad and I'm am good. That is not positive. Wolf in sheep's clothing. Typical.
Hey why should i pay for some old guys medicare and ssI make umm work if they didnt save the money. This is one that is voting for angle !
I've already seen the information I need to see to make my decision. And the Sharron Angle I saw before is the one that I don't want in office.
All I see now is she is trying to "walk back" everything she said before.
Don't get me wrong. People make mistakes. But not a whole slew of them! Get rid of Social Security, "privatize" and "personalize" it, flip flop on that position, Government is too big, spending needs to stop, unemployed are lazy, her position about she's not there to create jobs nor foster an environment that turns the economy around, just stop spending.
It's nonsense what she is doing now.
She is trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes to get votes.
She says this crap now, but if by some crazy chance, she gets voted in? Guaranteed everyone that voted for her will stand there with their hands on their heads, eyes wide open and scream, "Oh my gosh! What did I do?!?!!? How could we let this women in and do this to us?!?!!?"
I saw the real Sharron Angle in the past few months.
I'm not seeing the real one now.
I like what we have now. Because Senator Reid don't say one thing, then have to deflect attention somewhere else to repair an image. His record speaks for itself and he represents Nevada very well.
My vote goes for Senator Reid.
Hey, why don't you have to have Facebook acct. to post to this article. Every one with Harry Reid requires a FB acct.
Angle will be powerless in congress and the main stream GOP will bury her so far in the dark, she probably won't even be able to bring a bill to the floor.
If Nevada ends up with Ensign & Angle Nevada is screwed big time........and Ensign knows screwing!
LookeyLou, the Facebook integration, for now, is used only for political stories, not blogs such as this. Letters to the editor, Sun editorials, blogs and elsewhere blogs linking to other sources don't require Facebook to leave comments.
cont'd. CNN Politics dated July 19,2010. Dems Start to Panic,
"Vice President Joe Biden on ABC News' This Week crowed about Senate majority leader Harry Reid's back-from-the-dead strength in his Nevada race, credited largely to Reid's shaky Republican opponent, who landed her nomination in part because of Democratic shenanigans. Democrats hope to replicate that micro-success to save other seats."
So there you have it. Democrat operatives have infiltrated the "tea party movement" to make them look racist, wacko, out of the mainstream of most americans. Democrats are looking to cause division between tea party folks and moderate republican politicians aiming to get tea party candidates elected over those moderates, once reaching that goal they will proceed to tear them apart, destroying them and ultimately destroying the tea party movement. This will get democrat incumbents reelected and destroy the movement. Obviously democrats determined the "tea party movement" dangerous to their agenda.
Harry Reid and his party focused in on Sharron Angle as the candidate they could destroy because she is a tea party member. Once selected in the primary Reid now focuses on her final destruction He and his party will tear her to shreds using lies, distortions, corruption. They don't call him "dirty Harry" for nothing.
This tactic will be used all over the country to keep democrat incumbents in power thus giving Obama the chance to complete his agenda of destroying our nation.
They have been constructing a central government, by way of, all the legislation they've been writing, to control and take over our economy.
Decent people who wish to enter politics will have to contend with the democratic party and it's corrupt intent to destroy them. Is this tyranny what you really want?
I for one will not give Harry Reid and the democrat party what they want.
He's done nothing for our state. Those of you who decide to stay with the evil you are familiar with (Reid) fall into the hands of the democratic party and their evil intent towards destruction of our nation. I will stand with Sharron Angle.
Angle wants nuclear waste in Yucca Mtn... yet she calls for small government. Can't have it both ways. Wouldn't want anything nuclear in my backyard without a lot government regulators watching it. I don't think that she has figured this all out yet. She is not ready for prime time. Keep her out of Washington and in Washoe County where she belongs.
What happened to my first comment? Do I need to do it again? Okay here goes. Found on CNN Poltics dated July 19,2010. "Dems Start to Panic as Midterm Reality Sets In".
This is supposed to be part 1.
Under pressure, the Democrats are cracking. On both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, there is a realization that Nancy Pelosi's hold on the speakership is in true jeopardy; that losing control of the Senate is not out of the question; and that time, once the Democrats' best friend, is now their mortal enemy.
The two-part scheme was pretty straightforward. First, Democrats planned a number of steps to head off, or at least soften, the anti-Washington, anti-incumbent, anti-Obama sentiment.
"Make mischief by playing up the divisions between the Tea Party and the more traditional elements of the Republican Party, in part to increase the chances that more extreme, less electable candidates edge out moderates in GOP primary battles. Do extensive opposition research and targeted messaging in the fall to delegitimize Republican candidates in the minds of centrist voters. Coordinate below the radar with labor unions, environmentalists and other allies on get-out-the-vote efforts, focusing on young, nonwhite and first-time voters who came out for Obama in 2008".
The WH will continue with the agenda of blaming Republicans for stopping other measures, and railing against the Bush legacy. They will also continue to work aggressively on the mechanics of victory, hoping to save their incumbents with their customized, race-by-race tactics."
The article above this one is the last piece of this article.
This Sharron lady is so wacky!!! The govement has kept a roof over my head and fed my kids for years. How is it going to help people if the govement wont help me. Can she please explain that. Hary Reid has done a great job and we should all be thankful we have him and Shelly Berkley. Good lookin out!
It appears from all the comments I've read you folks prefer to go with the complete destruction of America and vote for Reid and the evil you've got.
Good luck because you'll need it when you lose all you've got.
You deserve what you get but I don't want it. I think there may be more of those who agree with me and see the corruption and don't want it.
You think 14.2% unemployment is good so if/when Reid is reelected look for more. Our state will be a welfare and/or an abandoned state like NY, California, etc., because folks will leave. They won't put up with it.
Angle is a Kook with a capital K.
Imagine her joining that other GOP nutjob, born-again-and-again-and-again Ensign, as Nevada's US Senate delegation.
But who knows, maybe Crazy Angle's come-to-Jesus spa treatments will keep Ensign focused and out of trouble.
I could barely make it through this 30 second ad without losing my lunch. The ad has Frau Angle in front of a group of aged white people pandering to their fears and superstitions (20 seconds worth) by barfing out bromides and hocking up homilies from the St. Reagan era. Perhaps her statement of losing freedoms and liberties alludes to the BUSH-CHENEY U.S. "Patriot Act" or the BUSH-CHENEY torture and rendition centers? Perhaps her statements about big government and deficits is in reference to the BUSH-CHENEY petro-socialist policies of no-bid war contracts to HALLIBURTON and U.S. military occupation of mid-east oilfields?
So, if government is the problem, as Angle claims, why is she seeking a job in, um, GOVERNMENT??
All you Sharron bashers ask yourself this "Am I really happy with the way things are going with Reid?" If you like runaway unemployment, Obama care, and amnesty, keep electing these clowns.
AngryVoter asked.....Now was this ad paid for by the overtly racist Tea Party express organization?
Is Angle in agreement with the racists running the Tea Party Express?
Does Angle know any non-white people or white people without blue hair?
What about CNN Politics hasn't gotten into your head? They are as liberal as you can get!! CNN wouldn't accept an ad from the "tea party" people.
Angle probably doesn't know the democrats have infiltrated the tea party movement. She is busy trying to run her campaign.
For your last question. Call her and ask. You sound wacko yourself and high! Now how does it make you feel when it's turned on you? Not good I would imagine!!
@darenodawg - "keep electing these clowns", like BUSH, CHENEY, ENSIGN, JIM GIBBONS and the rest of the pantheon of Republicans heroes???
So, are you happy with the way things are going or not?
The "liberty and freedom for future generations" will come at the expense and misery of the most vulnerable of the present generations. Abandonment of the elderly, chronically ill, disabled and unemployed is what she's offering. I wonder if she served lemonade to those seniors that she was speaking to.
Some of you forget that Social Security and Medicare are insurance programs that recipients paid into (think premiums) during their working lives. You've also forgotten that the majority of retirees DID save for their retirement years and lost it all because of the greed and risky behavior of Wall Street and the hubris of the Bush II administration.
I like this ad. Sharron Angle is making sense. She is telling the truth. We WILL leave our children deficit and debt. What is wrong with that statement? It doesn't matter if you like her or not you have to agree with that assessment.
That doesn't mean by any stretch of the imagination that she will win the election. I am voting for her for the simple reason that I don't think Harry Reid is working for me as hard as he should. Of course I am not voting for ANY incumbents.
Rough, apparently, you want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare, because that is what Sharron Mangle wishes to do. Government is not the problem; government doing the wrong thing is the problem, and we can debate that. What Ms. Mangle is doing is following in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan in contributing to and creating an atmosphere in which we hate our country so much that we do not trust its government, which happens, of course, to come from the people--or, as that document she knows nothing about begins, "We the people ...."
Sharron Angle says: Government is not the solution to the problem, it is part of the problem? Does that include Iraq and Afghanistan?
If government is not the solution to USA problems, why would it be the solution to those of a foreign country?
LookeyLou asks: "Hey, why don't you have to have Facebook acct. to post to this article. Every one with Harry Reid requires a FB acct."
I can't speak for anyone else, but I would be unable to post here if I had the newer version of FaceBook.
Because I'm still operating on the first version of FaceBook.
And that first version of FaceBook is that I buy a book, stick my face in it and I read it.
THAT'S the extent of my FaceBook.
"Taxing small business will only advance unemployment in this country as small business owners will reduce overhead in order to maintain EBITDA." -- TP777
You DO realize that EBITDA is earnings BEFORE taxes, right? So, a tax increase has no impact on EBITDA, although it does decrease profits, right? But, in order to keep your profits up, you're going to lay off workers, and demand that those who remain do the work of those you canned, in addition to their own, for no additional compensation, because it's all Harry Reid's fault, right?
It must be nice to have someone to blame for the negative consequences of your decisions. Especially if you can maintain your profits in the face of falling home prices, with the banks foreclosing on so many of the homes of all these unemployed people. And I'm sure your remaining employees are grateful just to have a job, since you were so quick to can their co-workers in the name of profits, because Harry Reid made you do it.
So, when increased unemployment reduces your revenues, are you going to lay more people off? Because, let's face it, you have to keep your profits up. God knows, it's all Harry Reid's fault your profits are at risk. Certainly not yours, is it?
Is it?
All bobble-heads aside, (kinda cute really) what can Angle possibly accomplish without the aid, and support of the government? This is not the 1800s, you can't expect people to buy property, plow fields, milk cows and home school just to survive, and lower the debt. We live in a society, a society that demands twinkie's, big screen TV's and roads for the Mercedes.
But the federal government's (GAO) own contracted accountants; established E-Verify worked 99-percent of the time. Harry Reid was not always an ardent crusader of amnesty for the 18 and up-- million illegal aliens in America. Reid once called illegal aliens "free loaders and scam artists." which he proposed to deal with in his Immigration Stabilization Act in the United States Senate in 1993." That proposed legislation was presented to the floor of the US Senate with the subsequent press release, in part, issued by Reid's office on August 5, 1993." When responding to increased terrorism and abuse of social welfare programs by illegal aliens, Harry Reid announced the first and only comprehensive immigration reform bill in Congress.
Currently, an alien living illegally in the United States often pays no taxes but receives unemployment, welfare, free medical care, and other federal benefits. Same with the "DREAM ACT" like always American taxpayers will become the benefactor, same with Anchor Babies. Previous terrorist acts, including the World Trade Center bombing, have accentuated the need to keep violent criminals out of the country." Currently, in a round-about-turn Senator John McCain, has changed his tune just as Reid has moved opposite direction as pro- amnesty zealot. Unlike Reid's proposed plan on immigration reform package, McCain has now expressed his judgment of enforcing the border first?
INCIDENTALLY, I WONDER HOW MANY SENATORS OR REPRESENTATIVES REALIZE THAT THIS WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL BORDER FENCE. THAT TWO FENCES SEPARATED BY A TRACK FOR THE US BORDER PATROL OF A HUNDRED YARDS WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED? At present I question why President Obama has deployed troops on the border, as they have no power to initiate an arrest or shoot drug smugglers? Sen. Reid should now be carefully watched, as with having a large population of illegal immigrants that will violate the law in voting him back into office. His opponent Sharron Angle can be molded by public opinion, but Reid has too many questionable irons in the fire. Many favors have likely been brought from special interests and open border trash, Faith groups which need him as in top leadership to try and force through another trillion dollar amnesty.
If the illegal immigration invasion was intended to be a federal violation, then why did they make entering the United States a misdemeanor, instead of a felony? IF ARIZONA"S POLICING LAW IS A FEDERAL VIOLATION, WHY HASN'T THE GOVERNMENT SWEPT DOWN ON THE PROMOTERS OF SANCTUARY CITIES? Ask your Representatives in Congress and state assemblies these questions at 202-224-3121. Don't wait! Bombard your lawmakers with your demands or see this country become overpopulated and in many neighborhoods third world slums, costing US taxpayers billions more in welfare programs.
ATTENTION! THIS IS ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION--NOT LEGAL IMMIGRATION. GET IT!
No longer is it just Arizona's motivation any more, other states are following Arizona's example with the same policing law, as a facsimile of the federal law. Already a special session of Florida's, Georgia and Utah's legislative, wants to implement a series of laws, that will not only be the same as Arizona's, but will use the great barrier against illegal labor, but will resort to harsh sanctions for business men who have ignored the immigration laws for at least 30 years.
Amnesty that was purportedly to halt these violations in the workplace; no administration has solidly enforced these laws. Now with the inception of E-Verify, that has been increasingly modified, an updated program with strong safeguards, its growing technology can detect stolen documents and sham social security numbers. Republican Senator Jeff Sessions introduced an amendment in 2009 that would have made E-Verify permanent and mandatory for all, but especially for construction companies. Senator Reid did not allow the idea to come up for a vote and the evidence is there that Reid tried to kill E-Verify from the beginning. The 2009 numbers show Nevada is a state with one of the highest percentage of "unauthorized immigrants" in the labor force. Reid's office also downplayed E-Verify as inaccurate, citing recent Social Security Administration numbers.
@VegasEngineer:
"I can't get on this tea party bandwagon that seeks to put less educated, simple minded people in control of our country.

!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!
POST OF THE DAY.
Sharron Angle.
Positively Crazy.
Do we not have ENOUGH crazy elected officials right now???
(Ensign, Gibbons, Mayor Goodfella?)
Shouldn't we have a "moratorium" for awhile on "Crazy Elected Officials"?
Maybe we could clean things up a bit before we go nuts again.
Just a thought.
I'm not a Reid fan either, but he'll get my vote as Angle is another Republican nut job.
Angle pals around with the racist from TP Express who wrote the "Dear President Lincoln" letter. Will she -refudiate- her association with this jerkweed hate talker Williams?
It is understandable for people to criticize Reid. He has been in office for too long, I agree on that. Of course everyone is going to blame him for our woes. Wall Street pretty much shafted everyone, banks especially. They knew what they were doing and Nevada paid the price. Not many people said anything when just about everyone in Nevada were taking out ridiculous second mortgages out on their homes a few years back. Everyone was living the good life and you could see it, with all the new cars and what not on the road. When it all tanked, someone had to be blamed...Reid is in the forefront now.
Now with respect to any stimulus, seems like everyone is forgetting the idiot governor we have. His administration has messed up how many applications for stimulus money? I am sure his azz is enjoying being off the radar. What has the governor done for Nevada in the last few years? Not a damn thing.
Seems like a lot of people mouthing off on this board are on Welfare or Dissability of some kind.They want handouts.Harry has lots of cookies in his jar. Keep on taking them and when he's out of cookies then what? Then we're cooked. Government is really the problem here. Markets need to be free to industrialize. Business offer a Hands-up not a hand-out! When our joblessness is skyrocketing,this administration takes advantage of this by instituting generous Hand-out programs to keep us hooked. we're never able to get out of this vicious cycle.Perception then becomes one of "we need the governments help." Remove the incentive and we fail and in the end we all fail.
I'm not too keen on voting for Reid since his office failed to follow through the way they said they would on an issue that was taken to them.
If ppl are upset b/c they feel Reid hasn't brought enough bacon back to Nevada, what do they think will happen if Angle gets elected (thankfully that just isn't going to happen)?
Quite simply, Angle simply ain't the one.
Why does Toilet Paper 777 think being a Cherokee lends credence to his argument that Sharron Angle will make it's tax load less? Doesn't Nevada have the 2nd lowest tax burden out of the 50 states? Geez.
"If ppl are upset b/c they feel Reid hasn't brought enough bacon back to Nevada"
That's the point. The same teabaggers who whine about government spending and earmarks are the same people criticizing Reid for not making a sweetheart deal for Nevada. They are complete hypocrites.
They also never want to talk about the elephant in the room: Nevada would get more federal funding if NEVADA provided matching funds.
Nope, they'll continue to criticize the amount of money Nevada gets from the federal government while promoting a candidate who would do NOTHING to bring more money to Nevada.
Harry Reid, the Obama administration, and the House Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi , have plunged Nevada into the abyss of economic and social chaos. Reid's leadership role in the Senate has pushed Nevada into a deep pit of record unemployment and home foreclosures that are among the worst in the nation. Thousands of Nevadans are out of work and out of their homes. Clearly, Reid and his camp can claim nothing but failure in Nevada as a result of all the wasted dollars in stimulus funding and thousands of pages of legislation which were jammed down the throats of an unwilling majority of Nevadans . Nevada's economy is in dismal shape with no end in sight.
Harry Reid has been an integral partner with the Obama administration and House Democrats in fostering policies and legislation which are literally destroying the wealth and security of both Nevadans and the rest of America. There is no option--Harry Reid must go.
Just to let you know, Felons can't vote, they can talk a good show. That's all they can do!
I have not heard anything done in Carson City for 6 years she was there. She states getting money for jobs in this state is not her job. I have heard nothing on what she says is her job at the state level or federal. All I hear from her is fear talk and destroy the government. The mess in this state is harder then anywhere else in the country. Is it the feds who did this or the state gov't which she was a part of? Before anyone blames Senator Reid, I would like to know how this happens to be all his fault. If she helped cut the state gov't, look at the mess we are in. How does cutting the gov't help get the middle class back with jobs gone & job wages cut from 1/3 to 1/2 or more and my payments keep going up? Angle is clueless at what is really happening to the working people. At least some jobs like the wind plant and the vet hospital which Senator Reid supported are here giving jobs. Is it enough, no but where is the state gov't Angle is suppose to be a part of? What did she support to help? By the looks of things at state level, was it Gov Gibbons? God help us!
It is quite apparent what Reid is all about. He has let down Nevada long enough. Even those who don't like Angle have to agree that we don't want, or can afford 6 more years of Reid. I voted for Reid and now regret it. I will not let that happen again!!
To see the posts by the wingnut supporters one is given the impression they never had a mother, sister, wife, or daughter.
Do you not have respect for the females in your life?
If your mother, wife , daughter, sister, or your grandmother was raped and became pregnant, would you tell them the same thing Sharron Elaine Angle/Ott told them- "It's God's plan","If you are given a lemon, make lemonade."
"Government is not the solution of the problem, government is the problem." Sharron Angle quoting Sarah Palin.
Does Sharron Angle have an idea, one single idea she can call her own that demonstrates one scintilla of knowledge, insight or leadership?
Obama really is responsible for people not rushing to Nevada to hand over everything in their pockets to casino pit bosses. (The cause of our high unemployment.)
Gambling really isn't Nevada's only major industry, and it does not depend on out of state tourists to keep it alive. And even if it was, Nevada does not depend on people coming here with wads of cash to spend, and lose, because, well, our unemployed, who are "spoiled" anyway will bet their unemployment checks away to fill the gap.
(Darn, the last hotel-casino to file bankruptcy was the Riviera. And obviously the unemployed didn't help Wynn's 2Q10 $17M gaming shortfall either. Damn those unemployed!)
High unemployment really is Reid's fault too, because... well, because...it's his job to make people come to Nevada and spend and gamble away their money.
Wait! When he saw we were losing jobs right and left because of the Wall Street melt-down, why didn't Reid just move a whole new jobs producing industry into Nevada to pick up all those laid off workers? You know, like, umm...shipping, drilling, auto manufacturing... There must be something we can put here to pick up 200,000 workers. I know, lets use 'em to build a big fence between Nevada and Arizona to keep out all those unwanted's Arizona is shucking.
I'm sure one of Sharron's angles could have solved the problem.
Get real! Harry Reid is not the President of the United States in case you don't know so why blame everything on him. I think he has done his best for "his" State, more than I can say for Ensign. I think you are giving Mr. Reid a bad rap for something out of his control. Sharron from up North doesn't have a clue, she just talks and says nothing. What did she do prior to running, work at the 7/11?
Sharron Elaine Angle/Ott is changing her tune from "just eat cake" to "eat liberty and freedom."
Figuratively speaking.
So many folks trying to blame Sen. Reid for Nevada's high unemployment, but he is not the only senator from Nevada. What has the Republican senator done, other than vote against those unemployed to extend their meager benefits.
What is Ms. Angle's position on this?
What is her position on anything, other than Tea Party talking points?
I sure hope she doesn't win. We'll have the most ineffective senate combo in congressional history if she does.
