Two days after endorsing U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle, Orly Taitz -- the self-appointed "queen of the birthers" -- threw her support behind Republican House candidate Joe Heck.
Only according to Taitz, "Joe Hack" should win the election in Nevada's 3rd Congressional District. Taitz misspelled Heck's name (not to mention precinct) in the headline of her web post:
"GREAT NEWS! YOU CAN GET 2 FREE TRIPS TO VEGAS, IF YOU ARE WILLING TO WALK THE PRICINCTS FOR SHARRON ANGLE AND DR. JOE HACK!!!"
Taitz noted that volunteers will receive bus transportation from Southern California, hotel rooms and meals in exchange for their help. The Nevada Republican Party will provide a barbecue dinner and entertainment, she wrote.
Taitz is a California dentist and lawyer who gained national attention for her "birther" theories. She claims that President Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen and therefore is ineligible to serve as president.
The Heck campaign did not respond when asked if Heck recognizes Obama as a legitimate president.
"The people of Southern Nevada are far more worried about keeping their jobs and their homes, and putting a stop to reckless spending in Washington," spokeswoman Mari Nakashima said.
JOE HACK. LOL
It doesn't seem possible but Orly Taitz, 'queen of birthers', is probably nuttier than Angle!
Quick check Joe Hack's birth certificate to see if he's legit. Oh what the Heck, it won't make any difference. These people are lunatics.
Joe Biden supports Barack America.
Nevada 50th in education!
Sharon Angle. 2 endorsements. Taitz and the RJ
just sayin
nice to see the paying off gig happening after Angles payoff try yesterday. Integrity!
From Wickipedia;
"Taitz has also supported a number of other theories not directly related to Obama, including:
Goldman Sachs runs the United States Treasury.[20]
Baxter International has developed a bird flu vaccine that kills people.[20]
Representative Alcee Hastings and the House of Representatives are planning to build at least six labor camps.[20]
Hugo Chavez owns the software that runs American voting machines,[18]
FactCheck is untrustworthy because of its links to the Annenberg Foundation.[18]
Taitz has also advocated numerous Internet-related theories, including PayPal attacks, the deletion of her Wikipedia entry, and Google's flagging her webpage as an attack site and suppressing search results for her name.[18]

YEP!
She came on the Spaceship with Sister Sharron!
SgtRock supports bats**t-crazy Angle.
The tea party is like a marathon race for loons to decide which teabagger wins the Crazy Trophy.
At this point it looks like Orly the deranged birther queen, a huge underdog, has taken a slim lead over favored nutcase, Crazy Angle.
GO CRAZY ANGLE! YOU CAN DO IT!
The libs just love Reid.
The drug companies are pouring tons of cash into running ads for Reid.
Why?
Because they cut a deal with him. He promised not to allow any laws that would allow cheap drug imports into the USA.
That is your hero, Reid.
Tony, I already proved one time how stupid you are.
Is it time for another lesson?
Do you want to me to hold your hand and show you that the drug companies are supporting Reid?
Don't you think it is wierd that drug imports were not part of the glorious Obamacare bill? Does your tiny brain wonder why?
"Because they cut a deal with him. He promised not to allow any laws that would allow cheap drug imports into the USA."
First, this is beyond a baseless allegation, it's just pure fiction.
Second, Reid allowed a vote on importation, see the Dorgan Amendment in 2009. The entire Senate voted on importation and the amendment was rejected because it didn't have 60 votes.
Yup, Sgt James F Nance Jr Rock blames Reid for the 17 republicans who voted to reject the importation amendment written by a Democrat!
And what did your party, the republicans, do to allow drug importation when they held majorities in both chambers?
Nothing.
Hypocrite.
"Yup, Sgt James F Nance Jr Rock blames Reid for the 17 republicans who voted to reject the importation amendment written by a Democrat!"
Wow....17 vs. 83 broke the back of Obama. Good Math there and please don't say it was filibuster. A: 17 can't fillibuster B: Democrats had full control of the Senate during that time anyway.
If you guys want to be dopes then be dopes.
Obama/Pelosi/Reid made deals and one deal was made with the drug companies.
No cheap drug imports in exchange for the support and money of the drug companies.
Please....extend your head deeper into the sand.
Someone forgot to take their happy pills!
Sgt James F Nance Jr Rock, you can't hide from the fact that the republicans did nothing to allow drug importation while they were in control.
You can't hide from the fact that just as many republicans as Democrats voted against drug importation.
You can't hide from your baseless allegation that were proved wrong. Reid was bought by pharma, that's why he allowed a Senate vote on importation? Sorry, that's illogical, even for you.
So what DID the republicans do when they were in control? They passed a TRILLION dollar unfunded medicare prescription drug "benefit" that left millions of Seniors paying more out of pocket... such a boondoggle that it had to be fixed in the health care reform act passed by the Democrats.
All you've proven is that you love tossing out unsubstantiated allegations that don't hold up upon review. Typical troll behavior. Yup, Democrats were bought by pharma, which is why they tried to pass drug importation!
Your argument is a stinking pile of swiss cheese.
All you have is a desperate ploy to divert attention away from your hero, birther queen Orly Taintz and her endorsement of radical republicans like Sharron Angle and Joe Hack... err, Heck.
Sgt James F Nance Jr Rock, please apply your same swiss cheese logic to the following:
"Since January, the nation's five largest insurers and the industry's Washington-based lobbying arm have given three times more money to Republican lawmakers and political action committees than to Democratic politicians and organizations."
Since you seem to believe that all money in politics signals back room deals, please tell us what nefarious plans the republicans and Sharron Angle have planned to screw over the average American.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/...
In fact, if you read the article, it seems to make a connection between the campaign cash and the insurance industry wanting HARSHER penalties for those who do not buy health insurance.
I'll quote one more line for you:
"Insurers in the past have been able to count on the GOP, which often helped shape the market to the industry's specifications."
The desperate Angle people can't find help in
Nevada, so they out-source to California.
Typical greedy, desperate republicans.
IT WON'T WORK.
OK Ksand99.....I will accept your assertations that Republicans take drug company money and that they tried to stop cheap drug imports.
Now, you need to accept the fact that drug companies are running TV ads in support of Reid and the Democrats, including Reid, agreed not to put cheap drug imports into the ObamaCare bill which they could have done with zero Republican support.
So Reid (and other Democrats) is acting like the Republicans and the drug companies are so happy about that they are running TV ads in support of him.
So you are happy now!!!!!!!!!!
"Now, you need to accept the fact that drug companies are running TV ads in support of Reid and the Democrats, including Reid, agreed not to put cheap drug imports into the ObamaCare bill which they could have done with zero Republican support."
Except, the facts don't support your assertion there, SgtRock. The FACTS are that Senator Reid allowed Senator Dorgan's drug importation amendment to come to a vote. That was a risky thing to do, and both Democrats and republicans voted against it, in nearly equal numbers.
As you incorrectly asserted before: "Wow....17 vs. 83 broke the back of Obama." The vote wasn't 17 to 83, it was 51 to 48 in favor of the amendment, but didn't crest the 60-vote threshold, so the filibuster was sustained by a mix of Dems and republicans.
As you incorrectly asserted before: "Because they cut a deal with [Reid]. [Reid] promised not to allow any laws that would allow cheap drug imports into the USA."
The path of least resistance would have been to, as Majority Leader, tell Dorgan he wouldn't entertain amendments, but he did, and he allowed a vote.
Sorry, you haven't presented a single fact to back up your argument, and have been incapable of arguing the actual facts of what occurred.
You are on drugs. I think you are mixing apples and organges.
On the ObamaCare package, Reid could have easily put in the drup import section but he did not. You are talking about an older bill.
This fact you CAN'T DISPUTE. The drug companies are running TV ads in favor of Reid.
Now...little boy.....can you wrap your brain around that fact.
"You are on drugs. I think you are mixing apples and organges."
I'm not the one inventing new fruits, there, James... you are. "Organges?" What are those?
"On the ObamaCare package, Reid could have easily put in the drup import section but he did not. You are talking about an older bill."
What are "drups?" You are completely correct on that account: no one wants to import foreign drups.
If you are talking about importing prescription drugs, the logic does not follow. Senator Reid did not draft health care reform legislation. In fact, the bill that was debated in the Senate was drafted and originated in the House of Representatives.
In case you weren't aware, Senator Reid is in the U.S. Senate, not the House of Representatives. If you're angry about the draft process, you should assess your anger and direct it at those who drafted the legislation. In either case, you're blaming Reid for the activities in the House of Representatives.
Furthermore, the power Reid had as Majority leader was to entertain amendments.... which he did, and of which one was proposed to amend the HOUSE bill to allow importation, which failed on a BIPARTISAN filibuster. He did not block any attempts to amend the health care reform legislation to block importation. He allowed them.
Your Reid Derangement Syndrome is either clouding your understanding of the fundamentals of our democracy, or your are absolutely and completely ignorant of basic facts about health care reform and how it was passed.
Support from Orly Taitz is the proverbial KISS OF DEATH to any politician. Good Luck "Joe Hack".
Fact: Drug companies are running TV adds in support of Reid.
Ksand99: Punts
You've declared that drug companies are running ads for Reid, SgtRock, and then inferred several things from that, all of which I've disproven.
First you said they cut a deal with him. I asked for any evidence you have.
Your response? (PUNT!)
Then you said Reid "promised not to allow any laws that would allow cheap drug imports" even though:
1) Reid didn't write the bill, the House drafted the bill and thus Reid COULDN'T have promised anything like that
Your response? (PUNT!)
2) Reid allowed a floor vote on the Dorgan amendment to allow importation, which failed due to a BIPARTISAN filibuster
Your response? (PUNT!)
Other than some ads being run for Reid, do you have ANY evidence of your baseless and borderline-slanderous claims? ANYTHING?
Continue digging your hole... you've had almost 24 hours to prove something. The only thing you've proven is that you're absolutely clueless about how the legislative process works.
I'm just curious, SgtRock, just what organization are/were you a Sgt in? If it was the US Armed Forces, good on you. If it was the Salvation Army, I guess good on you too?
Why oh why would drug companies be spending money to run TV ads for Reid?
Is it because they think he is cute?
Is it because they think he is a Republican?
Is it because they just love love love him?
I thought Democrats believed that drug companies were Satan or something like that.
Yes, drug companies love Reid. I wonder why??????
Perhaps, it is because of this deal.

"I thought Democrats believed that drug companies were Satan or something like that."
That's just yet another one of your fantastic fails... another straw man argument.
Sgt James F Nance Jr Rock: you are now claiming that Democrats bought off Big Pharma.
Beyond the extreme irony of YOU, of all people,
quoting Robert Reich... who you have criticized in the past... but, again, I'll ask: why did a Democrat Senator author and submit an amendment to legalize importation of drugs, and why did both Democrats and republicans support it?
Why are you blaming Reid for drafting legislation that was clearly and unambiguously drafted in the HOUSE, a chamber he's not even a member of!
Your argument's still a piece of swiss cheese. Answer my questions and be honest, for once.
Yeah...your right.....Robert Reich is full of poop.
Here is a shovel...please dig your head deeper in the sand.
Why do Big Pharma (I guess you love them now) run TV ads in support of Reid?
How about this peice of work? It is from a big BS site which you hate. You can call them a bag of poop just like you did with Reich.

The only question I have is are you a dope or dupe?
It's interesting that you began blaming Reid for everything, and now have shifted away from Reid, and onto the White House.
I'll take that as an admission that you now know you were wrong and couldn't prove ANYTHING about your original assertion.
Your tired old guilt-by-association blame game never works, Sgt James F Nance Jr Rock, and you new allegations are a desperate ploy to deflect from the slanderous allegations you've now abandoned.
If the White House was going to prevent drug importation, why didn't they stop Dorgan from offering the amendment? Why did 20-something Democrats vote FOR importation if the White House made a deal?
You still can't answer those questions, because your backwards conspiracy theory DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. You don't even understand your own conspiracy!
Put down the kool-aid cup, James.
Boy...you are growing everyday. You just pooped on that Huffington Post article. You are getting smarter by the second.
So you have learned today that Reich is poop and the Huffington Post is poop.
Good lessons.....let's continue.
You are 100% correct about the White House. They run the whole country. They pass laws. There is not such thing as the Congress. So when Obama cut a deal with Pharma Nancy and Harry had NOTHING to do with it. (Are you really that naive????? Oooops...don't answer that)
You are really clueless. Pharma is just spending money on TV ads for Reids....because? why? Do you know?
Sgt James F Nance Jr Rock: it's clear you believe ANYTHING that paints Harry Reid in a bad light, even when presented with clear, factual evidence to the contrary.
Factual evidence you refuse to acknowledge, by the way. You still can't answer why Dorgan's amendment was accepted, let alone granted a vote... nor why a large number of Democrats voted FOR the amendment.
You outright blamed Reid for importation being left out of the bill, even though the bill was drafted in the HOUSE. Apparently you need a civics lesson or twenty.
You've punted and dodged every factual rebuttal of your wild-eyed conspiracy theories. That's the problem with you "birthers" and "truthers", etc. There's always a conspiracy behind the conspiracy!
That's why your conspiracy started as Reid, then morphed into the White House, and is now apparently a conspiracy of every single elected Democrat. It's a moving target because you apparently lack the intellectual firepower to take a stand and use facts to back up your assertions.
When are you going to weave George Soros into your wild-eyed tale?
You look so cute when you have your pants caught down.
You know in the your heart of hearts that Obama/Reid/Pelosi and that big-shot crowd sold much of you libs down the river. The Chicago troop made sure that everybody's pocket was lined with fine gold.
Reid lives in the Ritz-Carlton in DC buddy boy. His family rakes in millions a year in lobbying fees.
No public option
No single payer
Not even cheap drug imports
In the White House, Rahm/Obama/Reid/Pelosi and other big shots made an $80 billion dollar deal with big evil Pharma companies. Part of that deal was for big evil Pharma to run TV ads in support of Democrats like Reid.
I know you going to hold your nose and vote for Reid.
Remember.....you are voting for big Pharma, too.
