WASHINGTON -- Here’s a note to all the national groups coming in to run ads for or against the health care debate: Learn how the locals pronounce Nevada.
A radio ad from the National Education Association running in support of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s work on health care reform butchers the local parlance, drawing barbs from the Nevada Republican Party.
Saying the state’s name the way the locals do is a big deal in Nevada, which shuns the Spanish pronunciation in favor of a more folksy way of emphasizing that second syllable. So important was it that Democrats once brought cookies frosted with the preferred pronunciation to a national party meeting.
“They should pretend to know something about our state ... starting with its correct pronunciation," said a statement from Nevada Republican Party Chairman Sue Lowden, who is likely to challenge Reid in next year’s election.
what a bunch of garbage.....they should at least tell believable lies....
Shawn Insannity, who has become the expert on Nevada politics of late, (after bringing his ill-attended Freedumb concert hate feast to Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago) pronounces Nevada incorrectly as well.
The Fox-hack is quick to point out Reid's low polling and the tele-town halls, but fails to mention Ensign's similar low numbers (and dropping fast) or those of invisible GOV 0'S WHOPPING 10% Approval ranking.
Fair and Balanced?
mred,
Again, the Freedom Concert is a charity to benefit the children of our soldiers killed and wounded in their service to our country.
You can hate Sean Hannity all you want, but you should not malign an event that does so much good for the children of America's fallen heroes.
@ mred
Why would Hannity talk about Ensign's numbers if he isn't up for reelction until 2012. Reid is up next year which makes his horrible numbers an issue right now. Further, Reid is the Senate majority leader which makes it a national story. On the other hand, Gibbons is a Governor from small population Nevada. How is that national news?
Do us all a favor and learn about terms in congress before making an arse of yourself.
mred, remember, you think it's Nevadians. Try to sound more intelligent and people will listen.
Figures that the Democrats would of blown something like this. Like Harry Reid, they are so out of touch with Nevadans. They can't even get something as simple as this right. This is Harry Reid's bumbling idiots at their best!
IT'S NOW 3:30PM EASTERN TIME, AND OUR ESTEEMED SENATOR HARRY REID, DEMOCRAT MAJORITY LEADER OF THE U.S. SENATE, HAS NOT HAD THE COURTESY TO MAKE A STATEMENT OF PRAISE AND CONDOLENCE ON TELEVISION CONCERNING THE LATE SENATOR TED KENNEDY.
ALL OF THE SECOND AND THIRD TIER SENATORS (SCHUMER, BAUCUS, DODD) ARE ON ALL OF THE NETWORK AND TV STATIONS GETTING AIR TIME.
THE LVRJ'S ARTICLE ON SENATOR REID BEING IN LAS VEGAS TODAY PROVES THAT HARRY IS NOT OFF IN THE WILDERNESS ON VACATION. HE HAS BEEN WITHIN 5 MILES OF 4 NETWORK AFFILIATE TV STATIONS ALL DAY.
IT'S HARRY REID'S JOB, AS DEMOCRAT MAJORITY LEADER, TO BE ON TV TODAY AS LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THE SENATE, TO BE ON TV ON THIS ISSUE THIS MORNING, THIS AFTERNOON.
INSTEAD, SENATOR REID IS SILENT ON NATIONAL TV.
ARE SENATOR REID AND HIS PRESS STAFF COMPLETE MORONS?
I REALIZE HARRY REID WAS BROUGHT UP IN A MINING CAMP, BUT HE'S REACHED A POSITION WHERE GOOD MANNERS ARE EXPECTED AND HE'S CERTAINLY MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR POSITIVE NATIONAL TV EXPOSURE.
I believe the Vice President has spoken already on the Senate's behalf.
harry is up for reelection. He doesn't want to appear near or about any liberals until his fate is decided by the voters.
A picture with his rifle wont hide his deals with the devil and the witch to turn America into the next Venezuela.
The commercial was outsourced to Mexico.
Neiman1 said "Harry is up for reelection. He doesn't want to appear near or about any liberals until his fate is decided by the voters".
I find it hard to believe Harry Reid is that much of a coward. John McCain is going to be one of the speakers at the funeral service for heaven's sake!
mred:
The Freedom Concert wasn't "ill attended" at all. Over 10,000 people attended to support the Freedom Alliance. That's just as many as went to the recent Green Day concert. Is someone feeding you this lie, or are you just taking cheap shots at our military and their families?
Hannity always goofs on himself for mispronouncing Nevada, and he did it again at the Freedom Concert (of which you weren't in attendance).
Ensign's numbers are low because conservative voters have ethics, and will not support someone who violates those ethics. You support Reid in spite of his disgusting behavior. I wonder if Reid polling lower than Bush ever hit home for you.
Gibbons is the same thing ... conservatives don't support him because he broke his promise to not raise taxes, and his questionable morals.
When it comes to your party ... you don't care about ethics or morals. You only care when you can attack the other side. You're hollow, and have no substance.
BTW:
KXNT covered this ad mispronouncing Nevada on Monday. Glad the Sun could finally catch up.
To honor Ted Kennedy by passing the health care reform bill as Obama, Pelosi & Reid want is not wise and will not produce the equality, good health, and freedom Ted Kennedy wanted for all people. It is an illusion of better health.
In a twist of fate, Senator Edward Kennedy proved the failure of a health care reform he and others worked so hard for. Senator Kennedy's money could not save him. No insurance or technology could save him. The whole health care system he fought for is wrong. Who pays for it is not the issue. He and others champion a health care reform that helps the medical field and investors most. They have not realized there is a final solution that could benefit all mankind, making it truly universal.
Proverbs 14:12 "There is a way which seems right to a man, but the ends thereof are the ways of death." He championed many good sounding and good intentioned causes but as a Liberal he did not stay close to the secular wisdom in the word of God. That put the nation and world in the wrong direction.
There are 98,000 KILLED by medical treatments yearly. If 98,000 were killed by treatments, the number harmed by medical treatment would be multiplied greatly. Others are living a life of taking a great many pills even several times a day or enslaved to medical treatments. Medical opinions keep changing, procedures are found unnecessary or harmful; and we are not promoting the use of scientifically proven therapies available at home including raw fresh foods, herbal cures, sunshine and fresh air, and prayer and faith, There is no money in those remedies so they are ignored. This truly is THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE. This is not the abundant life God promised us. We need real change.
The goal and easy solution is a garden paradise lifestyle where trees, plants and pets provide fresh food around us. It pulls us into the sunshine and gives us light exercise to keep us healthy. It is an easy, quick, fair and inexpensive solution to world problems we created. pollution, energy crisis, war, immigration, reoccurring financial crises, serious health care needs for young and old, global warming-climate change fears, crime, waste management, nuclear wastes and weapons of many kinds threatening our peace and general social needs of old and young because no one is home to care for the family. We are going the wrong way. We are at a pivotal point. The present financial crisis makes this a wonderful time to turn to our new direction of true peace, tree freedom, and true prosperity.
Opportunities to abuse health care reform and more about how the way we produce our food changes the ph of our blood making us susceptible to disease are at http://www.divine-way.com See: WRONG WAY tab for Dr. DC Jarvis' warning in 1960 that we refused to hear. He is proven to be true by our state of health now. Those who fought for this health care system were deceived by the deceitfulness of riches.
That withered old gasbag is going to lose to Lowden no matter how you pronounce our state's name. Harry: they're hiring at Wendy's!
The Freedumb CONcert tickets were comped to people in Psych wards at military bases and nursing homes, no newspapers in town even covered the "event"
Also the new VA bill covers all the things they are raising money for anyway.

Jack? I though you didn't read the SUN?
This is so hilariously ironic.
The NEA doesn't know Nevada any better than Harry Reid does. Or care about it.
The NEA cares about having Harry Reid around to keep them flush with cash from teachers paychecks are looted without their consent (want teachers to be paid more? give them a 3% raise by banning the NEA/AFT).
Harry Reid deserves to be retired involuntarily. So does Gibbons. But let's not pretend that Reid is even remotely representing Nevada. Reid is representing the Democrat Party and Barack Obama (and himself and his sons financially). Reid hasn't had to worry about representing Nevada since he because head honcho in the Senate. He made his choice. Now he'll have to live with our choice.

WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!
mred, the freedom concert was a "positive" event and the liberal newspapers are only interested in promoting Demon-crap policy or bashing conservatives. This event didn't meet that criteria.If a story doesn't benifit democrats it isn't newsworthy. Its called bias press.
Wow, this is one of the most far left papers I have ever seen in terms of consistent editorializing of every possible issue.
Wish I was a fishmonger...
