Senate Conservatives Fund conference call: Reid is “pretty liberal” and NV trending conservative

That's what South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint said Tuesday night during a conference call on Senate races around the country. I have posted the audio file at right -- the quality is not great -- and below are emails from the SCF and the Sue Lowden campaign about the call:

November 3, 2009

Friends,

Tonight we have a chance to further Sue's campaign to unseat Liberal Senator

Harry Reid. The Senate Conservative Fund is hosting a conference call with

its Chairman, Senator Jim DeMint. We are asking all our supporters to

participate in this conference call and support Sue Lowden for US

Senate.*

Please participate and help elect a true conservative to the US Senate.

*See below for a Message from the Senate Conseravatives (sic) Fund.*

------------------------------

Dear Friend:

If you have not registered for our conservative conference call, please do

so now before it's too late.

This Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at 8:30 PM (ET), conservatives from across

the country will come together on a live, toll-free conference call to

discuss strategy for the 2010 Senate elections. I will lead the discussion

along with my friend Erick Erickson, the editor of RedState.com. I hope you

will register now so you join us.

This event will launch the formation of a committed conservative community

that will work together to win several critical Senate races. It will mark

the beginning of a year-long movement to take back our country.

We will discuss which candidates are the true conservatives, answer

questions about specific races, and explain what you can do to help defeat

the liberal politicians who are destroying our country.

We will also conduct instant polls so you can vote for the candidates you

like best using your telephone. And at the end of the call, I will announce

at least one major endorsement for the 2010 elections.

Americans are waking up and conservatives are on the march. It started with

tea parties, it grew into town halls, and then we marched on Washington. Now

it's time to consolidate our efforts, target our resources, and replace the

failed leadership in Washington.

Please register today before it's too late. The more people we have on the

call, the bigger the impact we will have. Thank you for you standing strong

for freedom. I hope to speak with you soon.

Yours truly,

Jim DeMint

United States Senator

Chairman, Senate Conservatives Fund

Discussion: 8 comments so far...

  1. U.S. Sen. DEMENTEd is just another in a very long line of GOP gay bashing knuckle-draggers. Like the vast majority of GOP commie-siders, DeMented also has a history of only serving himself, not America. Like the rest of his GOP posse, DeMented never publicly voiced any opposition to gays fighting and dying in Vietnam, while he was collecting draft deferments. When will DeMented dispatch Palin, Lim"P"baugh, and Beck to LVNV?

  2. Guess DeMint thinks 2008 doesn't matter especially in Nevada. Jim Gibbons Ensign and Bush have Nevada rejecting conservatism.

  3. DeMint is a bomb-throwing extreme far-right winger. He makes even some Republicans look like super liberals, so of course he's going to call a pro-life, pro-guns Democrat a "liberal." Meaningless.

  4. Greenspun threatened by REID???
    No comments allowed for Reid articles in the Las Vegas Sun anymore! It appears that Harry Reid is up to his old tricks again. He must have threatened Brian with destruction like he did the Review Journal...

    SHERMAN FREDERICK: Enough is enough, Harry
    Stop the childish bullying
    http://www.lvrj.com/opinion/56171937.htm...

    We won't allow you to bully us. And if you try it with anyone else, count on going through us first.

    That's a promise, not a threat.

    And it's a promise to our readers, not to you, Sen. Reid.

    Publisher Accuses Reid of 'Bullying' Nevada Newspaper
    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/...

    But to fully capture the magnitude of Reid's remark (and to stop him from doing the same thing to others) it must be called what it was -- a full-on threat perpetrated by a bully who has forgotten that he was elected to office to protect Nevadans, not sound like he's shaking them down.

    No citizen should expect this kind of behavior from a U.S. senator. It is certainly not becoming of a man who is the majority leader in the U.S. Senate. And it absolutely is not what anyone would expect from a man who now asks Nevadans to send him back to the Senate for a fifth term.".

    Since mid October the comments section of articles about Harry Reid have been removed from the Las Vegas Sun! Check for yourself...

  5. He didn't do it, folks. Cannot find the keys tonight so don't get het up that Sen reid is a bully.

    He stands for such: If you bully me, you bully my country. If you hate me, you hate my country.

  6. conservatives are usually 1st ones to find a govt. program to help themselves, hypocrites

  7. Sue Lowden is a conservative?
    YOU LIE!

  8. The local kook talk radio station, it's manager, and blowhard talk show hosts, see themselves as running the anti-Reid movement. (They have on air hacks linked to the Republican party, Enswign's campaign and NPI.)

    Whiley is "not a viable candidate." Lowdung, Angle and Tark are? Their heavy-handedness will produce a 23rd NY type "victory."
