Sun City Summerlin residents received the flyer in a packet along with bylaw changes, indicating someone on the board is an Angleophile. Obviously, Sun City is a key demographic as seniors vote in great numbers.
The flyer reads like an ad for Sharron Angle -- although it has a disclaimer saying no campaign paid for it, it's mostly Angular rhetoric. It also has the dramatic headline: "Your Lifespan will depend on what you do on November 2, 2010."
My goodness.
See the flyer at right.
Well, Sharron Angle is going to outlive all you all silver and grey backs! She already has public healthcare! Join her at the pig trough you claim you hate! You crinkly hypocrites.
At one time I sat on the board of a homeowners Association. Had any on our board sent a political advertisment, we would have been booted off the board that same day. It doesn't matter who paid for the ad, the Homeowners paid the postage, without their knowledge. That is what thievery is.
I can see truth in the statement that if Harry Reid is elected both seniors' and childrens' life spans may be affected thru Obamacare sometime down the road. Like it or not, and truth be told, THERE ARE what could be considered "DEATH PANELS" that would make medical decisions whether to give, or not give life saving/lengthening health care to sertain people. So, as long as there was a disclosure, it's the problem/or not, of the Homeowners Association and no one else.
And, by the way renomuse, Sharron Angle has healthcare for retired government employees who worked their lifetime for it. And, it's a moot point anyway because exactly what type of care does Harry Reid have now and next year after we the voters retire him? TAXPAYER FUNDED HEALTHCARE THAT HE GETS/WOULD GET AS A SENATOR.
This flyer is not much different from the stack of flyers I get in the mail daily from all sides of the political spectrum...
LarryVegas,
Your statement is like saying Hawaii is at the North Pole. It doesn't make sense.
Whoever wrote this flyer should be made to reveal the sources for veracity, in person and on live video. It would be interesting to see the face of the person that created this devious, false information. I think whoever it was underestimates the wisdom of our senior citizens.
I'm sure each of us at one time or another has asked the question, " What are statewide campaign norms?" Well, in Nevada like just about everywhere else in America, statewide campaign norms are when the media and the Democrats try to destroy the Republican. The Democrat running for office gets questioned for nothing. The Democrat is never examined, the Democrat never has to visit the media proctologist..... Not even once.
But what of the Republican you ask? Well since you asked, I'll be all to happy to tell you.... Even the Republican candidate's family is brought into the fray. In what is a concerted effort by those on the Left to turn the Republican candidate's life upside- down. Any little irregularity is chalked up to some sort of big crime or corruption and the "apparatchik" of the Democratic party, acting in tandem with the media, line up and do their best to destroy the Republican.
Yes I know it's still going to strike some folks as strange. But knowing Liberals as we do, I don't think any one of us should be surprised today, when in an effort to smear Republicans everywhere the 'Las Vegas Sun' publishes an article attacking a neighborhood group of 39 senior citizens in 'Sun City'....... Watch out folks, the other set of grandparents you have in Arizona could be next.
Rarely, have so many candidates relied, in such bad faith, on fear motivating voters. Sharron Angle may have surpassed all of them, in so gleefully crossing all bound of basic decency, to manipulate the most vulnerable voters among us. It is why so many who live far beyond the borders of Nevada consider the Reid-Angle battle the most important one to watch in the days ahead.
If dirty tricks, bigotry and fear-mongering win elections (and, all too often, they do) then Sharron Angle WILL be headed for Washington, come Wednesday.
So, I send this message to EVERY resident of Nevada (whether elderly, unemployed, Hispanic, or simply so disenchanted that you aren't planning to go to the polls at all) NEVER HAS IT BEEN MORE IMPORTANT TO VOTE IN NEVADA. More is riding on it than any other mid-term in your lifetime... however short or long that lifetime may be.
Whether you are a student who can't go to college without a scholarship... a WORKER whose job could be shipped overseas or UNEMPLOYED and can't put food on the table, without your benefits... one of the millions of SICK & DISABLED, who (like me) have gone for years without health insurance... or a SENIOR who has a hard time sleeping at night, for fear of the bleak times ahead... YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF AND THE REST OF US TO EXERCISE YOUR MOST BASIC RIGHT AS A CITIZEN.
I count myself among what I suspect is a tiny percentage of Americans who actually has READ the healthcare reform bill... ever single sentence of it. There never were - nor ever will be -- "Death Panels." It's one of the most despicable lies propagated, since Obama became President. That's quite a distinction, given how littered our political landscape has been with outright fabrications by fear-mongers who are counting on Americans to put all reason aside, when entering the polling booth.
The best way to avoid the nightmare of sending the WRONG people to Washington is, DON'T SLEEP WITH THE ENEMY. Make sure the person you vote for represents YOUR interests, not those of the fat cats who have lined their campaign war chests.
SHARRON ANGLE IS COUNTING ON FEAR... fear that mythical "death panels" or the equally mythical masses of "machete-toting illegal immigrants" are going to kill you if you vote for Reid... TO MAKE YOU VOTE FOR HER ON TUESDAY.
It's why it's so crucial you DO vote in this mid-term. Let her know you're smarter and harder to fool, than she thinks. Whatever you do, DON'T LET SHARRON ANGLE CROSS THE BOARDER into Washington. She's carrying something far deadlier than "death panels" or machetes: ignorance, hatred, and the kind of outright racism that should have died long ago in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Seniors, you have been around a long time. I am 59 and don't buy into the crap the GOP IS SLING. Think back to, Kids hiding under their desks to escape the A bomb,(me) WWII,(parents) 1929 bank bust(grandfather) CCs(father) WAP(uncle) Vietnam (husband,brothers,friends). My parents, grandparents & you lived through that and more. How about the bay of pigs. Kenndys & King assassination"The only thing you have to fear is fear itself" FDR.. Get out their and kick some A,,. Vote!!! Remember Been there done that. Don't let them scare you!!!!
@Mary
Very well said !
Harry Reid agrees with Obama in cutting 500 Billion dollars from medicare.
Harry Reid did not extend the Bush tax cuts and we all will be paying more taxes starting January 1, 2011.
"It's one of the most despicable lies propagated, since Obama became President."
Enough said...
The loving dippy states: "The one thing that fires up our seniors and blue hair population is fear. if it was up to them the entire wal-mart parking lot would be for handicapped people."
Hey dippy, your mother just phoned and you are grounded for the rest of the week...
Sounds like Mrs. Angle has sold her soul to the devil. I have no words that are publishable to describe this woman. Mrs. "I won't talk to the press until after I am elected." I hope she never has the opportunity.
Harry Reid is responsible for highest unemployment in this country, highest foreclosure, most uneducated city, and still the above commentators decide that Sharon Angle is the problem? Yup, thanks for 100% proving Nevada is by far the most uneducated, clueless city on the face of the earth. But guess what, you still aren't going to win. :)
@TheSerfAttack
Nevada is a city ?
Talk about uneducated and clueless...
Angle is for Bed Bugs. She said she was opposed to government funded University research to eradicate the pest.
Further proof that Angle and her people are scum!
She is going down..and Nevada will be MUCH better for it!
If Angle wins, the SUN should be printed with a black border signifying the death of Nevada.
Extremest commenters and their rhetoric:
"not a con" states that "Angle and her people are scum!"
"TonyCrazo" spews: "The REAL truth is a vote for the GOP candidate will absolutely cost you your life."
"TonyCrazo" continues: "If you're stupid enough to vote for her you deserve to die early. Good riddance."
"GasCan" expresses her love:
"...Mrs. Angle has sold her soul to the devil."
"I have no words that are publishable to describe this woman."
MAKES ME REAL PROUD...

PolitiFact's Lie of the Year: 'Death panels'
By Angie Drobnic Holan
Published on Friday, December 18th, 2009 at 5:15 p.m.
"Of all the falsehoods and distortions in the political discourse this year, one stood out from the rest."
"Death panels."

Real original there GasCan...
ok Larry when its all over I will take you out for a beer to console you...
A major portion of Frau Angle's support comes from California retirees who moved to Nevada during the real estate bubble. Many of them left California to get away from the "liberals and minorities" and have seen their home equity evaporate, so are susceptible to the propaganda spewed by Frau Angle's KKKarl Rove designed message of hatred, fear and superstition. These California retirees have had their critical thinking skills dulled by watching years of Fox News, which has vilified Reid since he became Senate minority leader in 2004. They also have no ties to Nevada and probably haven't been out of their urban neighborhoods since they moved here and so don't know anything about Frau Angle's political past.
"LARRY VEGAS, go back to school and stop insulting seniors."
Sorry if I insulted any seniors, I only meant to insult Liberals and their ilk...
A major portion of Democrats in Las Vegas comes from California retirees who moved to Nevada during the real estate bubble.
ROTTEN Larry you keep counting your stinking rotten eggs before they hatch..watch out!...you may end up eating those rotten eggs come election day and you know what happens when you eat rotten eggs.
"ROTTEN Larry you keep counting your stinking rotten eggs before they hatch..watch out!...you may end up eating those rotten eggs come election day and you know what happens when you eat rotten eggs."
Never count your rotten eggs, period. cause they will never hatch.
Hey Mr. LarryVegas,
Your witty replies are so insightful. Since you are probably based in Texas or some other red state hole, why don't you stay there and just drink some more kool-aid and watch Faux News? If you happen to currently reside in Las Vegas, why don't you move back to your red state hole-home town?
Larry- what's wrong with these democrats? Obama care will put so many elderly Amrericans lives in danger. If you Dummie crats can't see that you're blind, cripple, and crazy
Open Borders Harry got to go.
Who know's? Senator Reid's staff could have sent in that article, he's known to have quite a few dirty tricks.
Why was my comment removed by staff? Because I sound sensible and this blog is NOT the Jerry Springer Show??
We have a great number of Seniors residing in Nevada but NOT ALL of them are dumb like the Repukeblicans backing the nutcase and most certainly they are NOT all senile.
The use of a Homeowners Association package to distribute a partisan political flier is creative. In my household political mail comes in from the mailbox and goes unread to recycle. Political TV Commercials are instantly muted. There is nothing more stupid than a stampeding herd.
Maybe using an HOA mailer to deliver political propaganda was just a little too creative. Did the flier's sponsors pay for the postage? If not, it would seem that there has been a misappropriation of HOA funds by the Board. Depending on the size of the mailing, that could constitute a felony.
Yes, we all might die earlier than expected with
Obama's national security, border protection, and beheadings in Arizona.
I love how some people try to blame Harry Reid for all of Nevada's problems when the OTHER senator, you know the guy who had an epic sex scandal yet is still in office (you wait righties, Democrats will likely make Ensign the #1 priority in 2012) is a REPUBLICAN and so is the governor..
Sharron Angle does not have the intelligence, temperment, or character to represent any state in the US Senate...She is even qualified to be Clark County dog catcher....Most, no, let me rephrase that, ALL dancers at Spearment Rhino are more qualified to be senator before Angle...
Without Social Security, most seniors would be eating cat food!
Keep fear alive TeaHeads! Go to Washington this sunday and show your fearful support!
Sharron Angle masks available for special prices.
ObamaCare is an over-regulated, over-bureaucratized system of surpassing arbitrariness and inefficiency, this is the ultimate example of the Democrats' command-and-control style of governing - buy what we tell you or go to jail.
The record shows Medicare's unfunded liability is five times that of Social Security. ObamaCare doesn't solve this crisis, but it sure does add to it.
Taxes will need to rise precipitously, even as ObamaCare so dramatically expands government control of healthcare, inevitably assuring all medicine will be alloted via politics.
There is a way to cover people with pre-existing conditions. We can do it by creating health insurance pools. But, it doesn't make sense to demand that every private health insurer be required to cover all people with pre-existing conditions. Forcing these companies to take on uninsurable patients is no different than what we did in forcing banks to give mortgages to people who they knew couldn't pay them back, and look where that got us.
Given the state of the American economy and the growing size of our deficit, realistically we have to know that we can't possibly sustain the type of government healthcare system that became law in March.
Repeal and Replace.
I am Danish citizen that would like to set part of this message straight.
Denmark has no such panels. Period! No matter if one is for or against the health reform, I believe that decision should me made with fact, not fiction.
Michael
omg enough already...this death panel crap has already been disproved...dont you seniors listen or research true facts....I am a senior and I know this is a blatant lie....if you vote for Angle seniors...better remember your ss and medicare which will be gone......wake up.....it is up to you people of Nevada to enlighten these elderly people to this blatant lie.
"I am a senior and I know this is a blatant lie..."
"...if you vote for Angle seniors...better remember your ss and medicare which will be gone..."
Then, why did you write it???
Why so negative about the flyer,it is the truth.Its Harrys bill is it not?Cutting medicare means either your doctor will drop seniors or pass the costs on to you,and with 30 million new customers ,how long will you have to wait? Thank you scumbag Harry.
Don't think of it as losing the Senate Majority Leader, think of it as gaining another slimy Lobbyist. Harry can join Tom Daschle's firm.
These lying, greedy republicans are going to be
handed another loss.
Next week, crazy Angle will be on that teabagger
express bus, back to Reno.
SHE WILL BE SOUNDLY REJECTED.
The mailing is clearly a nondeductible political contribution and appropriate changes in tax filings need to be made. Does this mailing change the status of the HOA?
Maybe the Flyer to Sun City seniors is Harry Reid's lost closing notes from his debate...
We Canadians live an average of 3.5 years LONGER than Americans (according to the handbook of your own CIA), even longer when compared to those Americans who had inferior insurance run and insurance rationed health care.
Newsflash For ALL: ANY politician or party, that dared suggest, we trade our Canadian system for yours, would be tossed out on their ear so fast, they wouldn't know what hit them! And rest assured, the same holds true for ALL countries with Universal Health Care.
Why pray tell: Has it NEVER occurred to ANY of you -- so called smart guys -- to wonder, why we will NEVER adopt the US health care system?
In 2007, Gordon H. Guyatt et al. conducted a peer reviewed meta-analysis, or systematic review, of studies that compared health outcomes for similar conditions in Canada and the U.S., in Open Medicine.
They concluded, "Available studies suggest that health outcomes may be superior in patients cared for in Canada versus the United States, but differences are not consistent."
Guyatt identified studies addressing conditions including cancer, coronary artery disease, chronic medical illnesses and surgical procedures. Of the 10 studies with the strongest statistical validity, 5 favoured Canada, 2 favoured the United States, and 3 were equivalent.
Overall, results for lower mortality favoured Canada with a 5% advantage
It should further be noted that in 2009, there were 1200 hip replacements done on Canadians who were 85 years or older. This would be equivalent to 12,000 such hip replacements done in the US, since the US has 10 times our population.
Canadian Seniors, like me (I've been retired for 5 years), get far better health care in Canada than the average American gets and equal to or, more likely, BETTER THAN what American Seniors with Medicare have.
Just over a year ago, I had surgery for a lesion on my larynx (from GP visit to specialist to surgery all within 10 days) , and then had voice rehab for 9 months after. The out of pocket cost for all that treatment? ZERO!!!!, just as my costs, and the costs for any Canadian, for any physician or hospital treatment is ALWAYS ZERO, and no necessary treatment (necessary as determined BY MY PHYSICIAN) has ever been denied.
