Well, the positive ads from the majority leader didn't last long.
Here's the first negative ad of the general election. See it at right.

I wonder if Lowden (where is she? Is she endorsing Angle?) gets royalties for the excerpt of Lowden's TV ad? Wasn't that copyrighted? Of course since Lowden donated to Reid 5 times, maybe she donated the ad to him? This is going to be interesting.
What we need is political bus tours of Vegas, this is going to be good entertainment for the national news media. I wonder when Katie Couric comes out?
Yep.
Eviscerated by her own (s)word.
The guy in the solar commercial will be unemployed even longer after the plant is built and "magic harry" can't deliver any more false jobs.
Next will be a commercial where Harry takes credit for hiring Census workers. What a joke.
Cradle, are you cradling some kool-aid tonight?
Cradle is correct......
Harry Reid has done a great job.
Send the teabagger packing.
God, I shudder to think that if Senator Reid loses, we have...ANGLE AND ENSIGN AS OUR SENATORS?!?!!?
One whackadoodle and one soon-to-be arrested and convicted senator, both of them elected and proven to be embarrassments to the Sovereign State of Nevada.
If that unlikely even happens, maybe they can give each other massages and pedicures or something....while they await going to the floor and voting no, no, no, hell no on everything.....
I have facts for those who think and arguments for those who reason. Let me make clear what is foremost on my mind and what the focus of this rant will be: Sen. Harry Reid is an opportunist. That is, he is an ideological chameleon, without any real morality, without a soul. My message is clear: Statements like Reid's above does not accurately express the feelings of most of us here. He's not your average scornful recidivist. He's the deluxe model.
Being the analytical sort that I am, I would have to say that if I seem a bit quarrelsome, it's only because I'm trying to communicate with Harry on his own level. If we let him calumniate helpless Americans, who's going to protect us? The government? Our parents? Superman? Probably none of the above. That's why it's important to expose Harry's malversation.
Pointing out that Harry wants to pit the haves against the have-nots is like pointing out that garbage attracts flies. Surprised? You shouldn't be, because his thesis is that counter-productive yobbos aren't ever invidious. That's absolutely nutty, you say? Good; that means you're finally catching on.
I don't wish to psychologize here, but Harry's campaigns of malice and malignity may have been conceived in idealism, but they quickly degenerated into vainglorious, pompous stoicism. I frequently wish to tell Harry that his perceptions reek like rotten eggs. But being a generally kind person, however, I always bite my tongue. I am not a robot. I am a thinking, feeling, human being. As such, I get teary-eyed whenever I see Harry take credit for others accomplishments. More reliable sources, however, tend to agree that if you've never seen Harry threaten the common good, you're either incredibly unobservant or are concealing the truth from yourself.
What if we collectively just told Harry's supporters, "Sure, go ahead and inculcate careless goals. Have fun!"? That would be worse than uncontrollable; it would blitz media outlets with faxes and newsletters that highlight the good points of his raving apologues. Documents written by Harry's supporters typically include the line, "Free speech is wonderful as long as you're not bashing Harry and the maledicent schemers in his socialism movement." In reality, Harry is currently limited to shrieking and spitting when he's confronted with inconvenient facts.
If Harry wins re-election, Nevada should make reparation payments to the other 49 states for the damage the "dirty" one will do.
Harry Reid. Bad for Nevada, bad for America.
I have noticed that a lot of Republicans who donate money for their candidates have shied away from Sharron Angle. And there is a move afoot for moderate Republicans who are moving away from her, aligning themselves with Senator Reid's re-election campaign.
Just today, it was announced that Reno Mayor Cashell, a Republican from Sharron Angle's hometown, has come out and said he cannot support an "ultra right winger" (his words) like Sharron Angle. He now supports Senator Reid.
But don't look at this along party lines for a moment and answer this question.....
Why would you vote someone out of office that represents Nevada well and has an extremely strong voice for the nation, ranking high among all Senators...and replace him with a Senator that will automatically be placed in ranking to basic insignificance?
That don't help Nevada. We stand to lose far more than gain in voting Senator Reid out of office. It's the same as trading in a brand new Mercedes Benz for a...Yugo.
It's a no brainer.
My vote goes for Senator Reid.
Free Sharon Angle Massages at the new city owned downtown "Goodman Arena" or Mob Museum.
Looks like a stampede of Rhinos are going to clear a path for Reid, a candidate for Senate with a website that is less of a presence than one for "Juan's Landscape Service." Hasn't she heard of "Go Daddy" - oops, that would be too sexy for ANgle.
I bet the spin masters who are trying to re-make Angle are going through a lot of antacid...she's no Scott Brown...
Go teaparty ..go talk radio you are doing a good job...like a couple of anvils tied to the good ship Angle as she flounders mid-stream...
Haha. The GOoPers don't know what to do with their Sharrontology. Many of them realize that most Nevadans don't agree with Ms. Obtuse Angle on demolishing Social Security and Medicare, so they're trying to distract by telling the same ol' discredited lies about Harry Reid. Meanwhile, Sharrontology and her true believer teabaggers are still going out and saying the same ol' nonsense that turns off the rest of us who aren't easily seduced by the shiny new objects dangled by Tea Party, Inc.
Oh, and let's not forget GOoPers like Reno Mayor Bob Cashell who are running away from Sharrontology as fast as they can...
lmao:
"Documents written by Harry's supporters typically include the line, "Free speech is wonderful as long as you're not bashing Harry and the maledicent schemers in his socialism movement."
Yes! how typical of those yobbos, always trying to inculcate their careless goals. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this... really, I can't tell you.
And no, ReverendKscribe, no matter what others might think, your letter is not nutty. What's nutty is Harry's thesis "that counter-productive yobbos aren't ever invidious." I was thinking the very same thing just the other day.
Reid's spending money. Angle's in hiding. This does not bode well for her candidacy. Her national Republicant/Teabagging backers need to get her message fixed and funded and out in public before Reid completely blows her out of the water and finishes this thing early.
This is a critical time for her. She needs money NOW!
Cashall and maybe Lowden is supporting Reid now?
What about "Rino Raggio?" is he backing Reid too?
The teabags have painted themselves into a corner, phonics, fluoride, UN, Orange County, Birchers, Birthers, segregated lunch counters...does Angle channel Joe Pyne and Robert Welch?? Joe McCarthy? There are 57 different kinds of fluoride the pinkos and commies use...Did she kick off her campaign at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda???
Sue would have been fun too, but Sharrontology is absolutely goosy. I'm punchdrunk from the hilarious frivolity.
Nevada elections ... LMAO
mred doesn't get it.
The USA is in big trouble and harry is one of the main reasons.
The good news is that the Colon from Las Vegas only gets one vote (if that) for Benedict Arnold Reid.
According to Reid, Social Security is a good thing. Now how is that, along with ObamaCare, supposed to be paid? Social Security, or any other gov. program actually, is not in good shape.
So how about the alternative: Free market choice. Let me choose the best, if any, "security" for me. I don't need bureaucrats to do that decision for me, thank you very much.
I pay SS and private insurance. Why? Well the first thing that comes into my mind is less hassle. Government requires me to be in line, fill out bunch of forms and _pledge_ for SS, if I should ever need something. The private option is a lot efficient, friendlier and valuable: I have one contact within the company who deals all my insurances. I can email her, call her or dump into her on the street and she'll remember me even when I talk to her once a year.
The point here is, that when things are not monopolized we get a lot better value for our money. And that's what Reid is against.
New York State Department of Health dentist J. V. Kumar published national statistics in the July 2009 Journal of the American Dental Association which show similar cavity rates regardless of water fluoride content, However, dental fluorosis rates increased along with water fluoride levels. See analysis "Fluoridation No Benefit; Definite Harm," by Kathleen M. Thiessen, Ph.D., SENES Oak Ridge, Inc., Center for Risk Analysis here:
http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/Cl...
New york City wastes about $30 million yearly dripping fluoride chemicals into New Yorkers bodies via the water supply. How much does your city waste on fluoride which modern science has prove to be ineffective at reducing tooth decay, health robbing to some and a huge waste of time and money.

Harry Reid. Bad for America, bad for Nevada!
"What about "Rino Raggio?" is he backing Reid too?"
Raggio said he would walk door-to-door in support of Reid if Angle won the primary.
She's too extreme for establishment republicans!
I can't wait to see Reid's expression on Erection night when Angle is declared the winner two seconds after the polls close.

Two seconds, huh? Hahaha. What you are saying is that not only far far right wing nuts are going to vote for her, but Independents, moderates, and Democrats, liberal, and more centrist, are going to turn out for Angle in droves. Did you tell the electorate? In a year that Reid could have lost his seat, the Republicans elect the nuttiest, most extreme candidate they could find. Manna from heaven, Sharron is.
OF COURSE reid will run a negative campaign.
Do you expect him to run on his record? Don't make me laugh.
sandy: what Reid has done to our country is far more aberrant than anything you Lefties could accure Angle of.
@ ReverendKScribe: I have no use for either Reid, but Harry was not a traitor for saying something that any veteran can see is the truth: there is no possible way we can win in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, or anywhere else in the world where there are native fighters, supplied, trained, and encouraged by outside forces like Iran, China, N. Korea, Syria, etc. If it were possible to win against rebels, we would have won in Viet Nam instead of putting our collective tail between or legs and running for our lives. If it were possible for the world's ultimate military to beat some rag-tag mob of determined fighters, there wouldn't be a United States of America --- we'd be celebrating the Queen's birthday today. Our folks are dying in vain in those hellholes because bringing them home would be political suicide, considering the unemployment numbers would immediately go through the roof, and jobs at defense suppliers would evaporate. I am a veteran; I've seen the folly. When you're up against a fanatical horde that thinks you and I are " a vile infestation of Allah's paradise", and that suicide bombing gets you into Heaven, there's just no way this will end well.
The one thing that Harry Reid is doing that blows away any good thing he has done is pushing for immigration reform. Instead of ridding our country/state of the illegals and getting US citizens back to work, he wants to make federal law breakers citizens and keep our citizens on the economic edge of disaster. It's time for Harry to retire. we need someone to stand up for our citizens, Harry has proven he is no longer the one.
Guys.
You had your chance.
You blew it.
Go cry in your beer.

Nothing measures up to the damage Bush/Cheney did to this country in 8 years. Electing far right kooks isn't going to sovle anything. Reid is harldy the monster some of you are making him out to be. There are a lot of OUT OF STATE right wing groups like the CFG and various tea party groups that have been on a constant tear demonizing him. They have an agenda to get him out of his powerful position. Nevadans will decide for themselves whether to send Harry home -- we don't need outside groups to tell us how to think. IMO, he will keep his seat.
Here is my analysis:
Sharron Angle, whom I voted for, will have difficulty getting some of the moderate and independent voters, who consider her to be too "right-wing".
However, there are also some moderate and independent voters who will vote for "anybody BUT Harry Reid", regardless if that person happens to be Sharron Angle.
Whomever can get these independents will win the election. Although Nevada went for Obama in 2008, we did go for Bush in 2004. I think that Sharron Angle has a strong chance of winning.
And on a personal level, I would rather a true right-wing conservative such as Sharron Angle run and lose, than a centrist Sue Lowden run and win.
At the very least, Angle will push Reid to the right if he hopes to win.
We haven't heard, or seen, much of Sharron Angle since her primary victory. Probably Republican handlers are doing a political "makeover" of Angle to make her more palatable to moderates and so keeping her away from the media. Rest assured that even with the handling and the makeover, Angle will deliver lunatic, Michele Bachmann-esqe sound bites before long.

the teabaggers are hoping that some nut job beats harry. when did they start SMOKING that tea instead of drinking it? the biggest kool aid drinkers in the world, teabaggers of america!
I personally can't wait to see Reid's add with the car bomb lie again. That was a great one. I only hope BHO comes to town for him on the eve of the election, that way Angle wins by a landslide... In fact, I will put in the request to Barrack for Reid myself. The Messiah will cometh....and Reid will goeth!!! ha ha ha
A long, hard look at Harry's contributors should be interesting. Look at who he gets his money from:
http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/i...
Do you really think he represents the people of Nevada?
REID can get anybody come hear to try to help him get re-elected but not even Clinton can make any difference. Majority of Nevadans are tired of Reid doing nothing for Nevadans. Reid remembers Nevadans only when he needs our votes. Look where we are now. 2nd highest in unemployment and will soon become NUMBER 1 because of the rate of people losing their jobs. Number 1 in FORECLOSURE... and Reid pretends to do something about it by asking BofA to set up a foreclosure "prevention" office here but they are not helping. Number 1 drop in personal income. Constantly in the bottom ranking in Education. Even when he's already the Senate president, Nevada ranks in the bottom in getting stimulus money for housing, education, transportation and construction. Vote him out in November. He has done too much damage already. Our taxes will soon get to 40% or even more to pay for all the debt and money wasted to bail out the big banks and financial companies and the Obamacare.
Angle's hard-line positions can be mediated by the other members in Congress. Reid actually has a problem when it comes to his hard-line liberal views. There is really nothing to stop him from pushing whatever he wants as Majority Leader. And many Nevadans won't forget that Reid was possibly the single biggest reason Obama ran for President.
Almost every Reid supporter has been saying how much he can do for Nevada as Majority Leader, when in fact his position will mean that most, if not all of his effort will be spent in promoting the President's agenda which is not always the best for Nevada.
When you consider where a large portion of Reid's contributions come from, there is little reason to think he will put the people of Nevada at the top of his priority list.
The sad part of Angle is: her only original thoughts were dumber than Palin's. And, now her words, are scripted by foreign T-party puppeteers. What country are they from??? Some journalist worth their shoe leather or salt, needs to write about that!
Angle, stay away from the National media. You are only making your situation worse. Senator Harry Reid, you will be on my ballot and show Angle the way out.
