The state party, trying to squelch the Dump Reid PAC and discredit smashmouth operative Chuck Muth, has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission. Standard fare, although it may create the loudest martyr you have heard. The complaint, which I have posted at right with attachments, should be resolved when Reid is up again in 2016.

Blah blah blah. Ralston Purina will eat his words when Reid is transferred to the McDonald's in Nort Las Vegas in 2010. I would rather elect The Scintas's - Las Vegas's greatest performer's - than Reid!
SPORT's!
Sorry Jon, this will be Harry's twilight year in the Senate. Nevada has changed significantly since he first entered the Senate. He simply hasn't kept pace. The hundreds of thousands who have moved to Nevada during the interim care little about the Searchlight anecdotes and don't find his frequent verbal faux paus amusing in the slightest. Talk to the man on the street.
5 years from now when we have federal health care and we all get denied because we did not fill out the square on page 112 with the complete spelling of our street and abbreviated Ct. for court which is violation of the HCR ACT of 2009 and the federal paper work act and the HHS act of some year we will all wish we dumped all politicians and started over, we do not need health care reform we need government reform vote them all out. This has nothing to do with the original story kind of like the Dems complaint has nothing to do with anything but silly laws they have passed.
lasdc9: how about showing some respect by using correct punctuation.
Harry Reid abuses his power more than any elected official since Richard Nixon. Now he's aftter free speech. He liked that right while calling Bush a liar and a loser. But can't stand like a man and take it like he dish's it out. Better get used to it Mr. Reid, the people of this state have wised up to your dirty tricks and schemes. Time for the doubewide in Searchlight :) Time to DUMP Reid. Good work Chuck Muth, you know you're doing a good job when Reid starts one of his search and destroy missions. Wear it like a badge of honor. Dump Reid, go Chuck Muth!
It's strange how "free speech" is only for the Dems when they choose to use it. Harry Reid is serving his last term in the Senate, unless of course his good ole buddy ACORN or SEIU get ahold of the vote count.
Pimp's and prostitute's at ACORN's! Gotta love it. Maybe they were testing the water's for Harry's new job in 2010...
SSSSSSSSport's!

Why? I do not care about you so why should I show you respect. Get a life.
I think it is past the time for good OLD Harry to return to Searchlight and spend some time in the library reading the constitution ofthe USA. Then he can read the Bill of Rights. I have been in Nevada and Las Vegas long enough to remember when this was a nice young man. Once upon a time I was proud to have voted for him. These days, I wear a DUMP HARRY REID button and T'shirt, have a sign coming to post in my yard that says the same. I CANNOT WAIT TO CAST MY VOTE TO HELP KICK this evil man out of office. Some wise man once said "absolute power corrupts absolutely," my, my, my, When it comes to Harry Reid those words were never so true.
"mastermind Muth?" Contradiction-in-terms.
Littered-you remember when Harry Reid was a nice young man? That must have been 100 years ago. Are you that old?
Victory for Republican Grassroots!!
Now Chuck Muth can't collect money to be used for those candidates "he" feels are legitimate and credible. In other words, career politicians that have kissed his ring.
74% of Republican Voters have had enough of Republican Moderate Politicos. Now is the time for real conservatives to step up to the plate!
Muth's Mutts will now have to raise money from Republican Blue Blood Elites in Washington while we "Dwarves", which is Ralston's code word for real grassroots candidates, can go about collecting funds nationally from those we truly represent -- the grassroots.
Visit www.wileyforsenate.com and don't forget we were attacked first on February 26, 1993. Add eight years of a Democrat President and you get 9-11-01.
Now is the time for real conservatives to be elected. The Tea Party grassroots revolution of today started in 1993 when the Far Left came for our guns and Patriots like me stood up to fight to put conservatives in Congress in 1994. Now you have a chance to elect a legitimate and credible conservative to the US Senate. Let's not have to do this again; we might not get another chance.

Buh...Bye Harry Reid and don't forget to take acorn with you on the way out.
"Dump Reid" is music to my ears. He started out as a good man, but has become nothing more than the caricature of a corrupt, lying, theiving, self-serving politician blinded by his ambition. I can't see him getting re-elected unless his lock-stepping democrats, his know-nothing union supporters, and his brain-dead fellow Mormons somehow manage to band together and elect him in spite of the damage he is doing to the current and future generations. $25 million in a war chest can buy a lot of votes from the tv drones who never bother to learn anything about a candidate other than his or her name.
I don't know what happened to Harry Reid over the years. If you can believe it, there was a time when he was a reasonable and dare I say, kind of conservative Democrat.
That Harry Reid simply no longer exists. And, given the tsunami of Republican and Independant rage that absolutely will be hitting in his 2010 campaign for re-election, Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader will eventually no longer exist, either.
All you "I hate Harry" posters out there don't get your hopes up too high. The higher the hopes, the bigger the fall!
Harry has been down this road before & guess what? He survived! Not sure which of the various GOP "up start candidates" will win the primary and get the opportunity to have their butt kicked by Harry in next year's general elkection.
The GOP better talk their rich and elite backers into digging deep in their pockets if they plan to match Harry's deep campaign chest.....
$25 million big ones is going to go a long way in returning the Senator from Searchlight to Washington.....
Look for Obama to visit Las Vegas several times during the 2010 campaign season....
Another six years of Harry....sounds about right!
That's it -- I can't take any more of these self-appointed elites! They think they know what is better for the general populace than those who elected them in the first place. The servants now think themselves the masters. Since they seem unwilling to listen, I'm advocating the use of our only legal recourse -- vote them out of office.
Join me on a great journey to make our representational bodies accountable again as we Reset Congress!
The wholesale replacement of incumbent members of the federal legislature will send a message to Washington: we take ethical representation seriously. Party affiliation is not an issue here. You, the voter, must weigh each candidate carefully to choose one worthy of your support, one that you feel best represents your needs and the direction in which we should take our nation. That is a duty and an obligation that transcends party politics and personal identification with any race, creed or other association. We are, first and foremost, Americans.
Words without deeds are a nuisance at best, and cowardly at worst. Please visit my website, www.reset-congress.com, for information on challengers to the current crop of Congressional miscreants. Find one that you can support, and pledge to do your best to assist him or her any way you can.
I accept no advertising, I do all the research and writing personally, and all expenses come out my pocket. I'm willing to devote a portion of my time over the next few years to channel the displeasure we have seen at town halls into a cohesive effort. Your comments and support are essential to the success of this movement. I need you to help me spread the word.
Lady Liberty needs your help. Will you answer her call?
Lifting all restrictions on all privately endowed PAC's and corporate PAC's is the American way of running political campaigns. Everybody's money ought to count.
Is Muth the same guy who has supported the likes of "Mr. Morals"-aka Johnny Casino Ensign and our super Governor Gibbons? Well then be deserves to be disposed of in the trash dumped in Neveada by California...
Well, we tried to show the Rep's by voting them out..thus giving us Dem control..now we all see how that is going..LOL!! so,we now see both sides are for #$@%. NOW, we have to be rid of them both..RIGHT!!!???
I've been here since '84 and hear election cycle after election cycle Reid is on his way out. It never happens. It wonr happen in 2010
lasdc9 ... the respect mikegino was suggesting you should have, by attempting to use proper English, is for yourself, not for him.
