Sharron Angle is dead, one in an occasional series.
The question cannot be ignored considering all that has happened since the primary: If Sharron Angle truly is as cuckoo as Harry Reid says she is and as her own words occasionally indicate, why isn’t the Senate majority leader, arguably the most powerful Nevadan in history, running away from her in the polls?
Although it’s possible Reid may continue to gain ground on Angle — he has gone from being down double digits to having slight leads in most surveys — the inexorable number in nearly every poll is the one that shows about half of the electorate disapproves of Reid. With 10 weeks until early voting begins, and with Reid hoarding enough money to unload all of the ammunition Angle has provided, it has become clear that either the majority leader can’t beat anyone this year or the GOP nominee is the only person he can survive.
At first glance, the prospect is startling: The most powerful man in Nevada, who controls the Democratic Party and is as canny as they come, could lose to a backbencher assemblywoman, who has no help from the party, who is on a mission from God, who thinks entitlements are extra-constitutional and who doesn’t think gays should adopt. I could go on with positions she has espoused, despite any current rhetorical mellowing, that generally are seen as out of the mainstream. But no need.
It’s almost preposterous, right? Sharron Angle defeating Harry Reid? Come on.
But here’s the rub: People hate Reid. I tell my daughter never to use that verb, but it’s the only word for it. It seethes, blinds, sputters.
I am asked all the time for the provenance of such animus. I still believe it is a combination: Anger at the Obama-Reid-Pelosi agenda that folks blame for their economic lot, Reid’s four decades in politics, his general mien and, of course, his intemperate remarks (war is lost, taxes are voluntary, tourists smell).
But it is profoundly irrational, too, much of the time, and thus impossible to change with a “She’s from Crazytown” campaign. And that’s what keeps the Reid folks up at night, knowing no matter how skillful they are — and he has the best campaign team Nevada has seen — the Reid-haters will not listen. They may be able to scare a small percentage to stay home or vote for “none of these candidates” — and that may be enough — but Team Reid can’t be sure, no matter what the next Angle revelation is.
Angle benefits not just from her own social conservative base (thank you, God) but also from the core of Reid-haters she inherited after the primary. Is it enough to get her to the 43 percent to 47 percent needed to win this race? Perhaps.
Further illustration: For months I began columns with “Harry Reid is dead …” and no one, even the Reid folks, complained. Not a peep. Now, with similar wryness, I start with the demise of Angle, who clearly has plummeted, and the vituperation is screeching.
Two recent favorites, via e-mail:
• “I never realized you were such a $@&* left-wing commie. I have lost all respect for you, and I mean that with all due respect.”
• “Are you going to take back that Angle is ‘dead’ now that Harry’s lead is gone? I have come across some lowlife’s (sic) but you are something special. You must not only hate anyone who challenges the establishment, but you appear to have a problem with women.”
What does this tell you about selective perception and the Reidhate out there? Only answer that matters: It tells you why Angle can still win.
Angle’s conflation of God and government could be enough on its own, despite the video catalog of her other greatest hits Reid possesses, to sway enough independent-minded voters to cost her the election. Even people of faith are squeamish about being asked to vote for someone who says God wanted her to run or that the Almighty is offended by Social Security, Medicare and health care reform. It’s a bit much, even for the devout.
Angle will continue to say “Obamacare, bailouts and Harry Reid” as an incantation designed to make her own words and deeds disappear from voters’ minds. But Reid’s own sleight of hand campaign — don’t look at the economy, just remember she’s nuts! — might reach critical mass, if it hasn’t already.
Sharron Angle may indeed be dead, and we don’t realize it yet. If so, not even God can save her.
And how ironic it would be after she brought Christianity into the race if Angle had helped to resurrect Harry Reid.
Call it hatred of Reid if you want. Fine. It translates into firm convictions voicing outrage. You make it into something irrational, misguided, and blind. But what if you're wrong. What if it's you that's missing the elephant in the lobby of the MGM, and missing the significance of the betrayal that decent people feel when they see a legislator of Reid's standing using influence so shamelessly.
How is it you can not see?
Reid offends the good people of Nevada, that it's clear to them and keeps the polls supporting Reid's opponent at a 50/50 split shouldn't puzzle you.
Stop and consider for a moment that the strange people who just can't see it your way, the 'reasonable' way, are using their heart, their conscience, their sense of American traditions, in a more balanced and judicious manner than you give them credit for.
And if they pop off with a juicy curse at your seeming abandonment of your role as impartial report publisher of all things corrupt, should you label it hate? They're angry. You've broken a trust. You should feel some heat from good people who see you as a mouth piece on a megawatt tower, you're a Tokyo Rose to us down here in the trenches.
Four nut-talk radio stations in Vegas, one in Reno, one in Elko and a few leaking over the border from California and Utah have pounded the drum beat of anti-Reid hate for ten years.
It is time the fairness doctrine be brought back to allow balance to those who rabidly foam at the mouth and spew spittle at the microphone in a frenzy of Reid-hate.
If the democrats maintain control of Congress, the implimentation of the fairness doctrine should be their first priority.
Remember when The LV Sun and Jon Ralston on Sunday, July 18, 2010 | 2 a.m.
Declared "Sharron Angle is dead"
An ebullient Jon Ralston wants Harry Reid to "unfurling a "Mission Accomplished" banner in their headquarters"
/////////////////////////////////
Now The LV Sun and Jon Ralston on Sunday, August 8, 2010 | 2 a.m.
Jon laments "It's almost preposterous, right? Sharron Angle defeating Harry Reid? Come on". But here's the rub: People hate Reid". But it is profoundly irrational, too, much of the time,".[the problem is] the Reid-haters will not listen."
Jon clearly is not listening if he truly does not know why Nevadans need a change
Jon has repeatedly bragged "His [Harry Reid's] strategy of driving people away from Angle and into either a "none of the above" posture or a oh-how-it-pains-me-to-vote-for-him stance has worked to perfection.
Jon crows that "Reid will apply a tourniquet to Angle's fundraising"
Jon last line is 100 day ahead of the election "The [Angle] race is lost."
///////////////////////////////////////////////
So Jon Ralston is PROUD of the way he and the LV SUN have campaigned for and willing Harry Reid to win by ducking the issues and trashing, trashing, trashing his opponent with a $25 million scorched-earth attack.
There has never been a question Jon Ralston mind that anything goes in re-election of his BFF Too Big Too Fail Harry Reid.
/////////////////////////////////////////////
Never again will Jon Ralston or the LV Sun have any credibility on "reporting" (LOL) on an issue. They do not believe in issues.
/////////////////////////////////////////////
That's right, here we go. The Fairness Doctrine. Regulation of speech. Right on. That's American.
Ever hear of Air America? Al Franken and his liberal posse made an appreciable effort to push 'Progressive' social and political commentary on radio but failed.
Why? It never occurred to them that their hard 'stand on the neck' of producers in free market approach might be bad business. No sponsors. No calls. It's just not fair.
But you want to solve that problem. Your simple solution is the 'Fairness' Doctrine, decreeing that private media by law must provide equal time to voices on both sides of the debate. Else the unlearned be swayed as they listen and assimilate mindless propaganda between commercial breaks.
Do I understand you correctly, people are sheep, easily misled, formed like putty by evil corporations? Now who's the nutcase?
How bout this. You want airtime. Can't do enough for your cause on taxpayer supported public radio? Fine. Start a corporation. Get a loan from a bank. Sell stock. Trade your services in a free market. Trade information for capital to operate your business. Keep the hate and the "spittle" out of it.
I am sure you'll do fine. It's a free country.
Nice article, Jon.
Only thing to add is that the nature of politics in Nevada (and the nation) is that the Tea Party element, created by the ultra right wing neo-conservatives, and inherited reluctantly into the Republican Party...has taken over.
It is like a cancer consuming the Republican Party. The moderate Republicans have been driven out. And it is so bad that the lifelong Republicans are scratching their heads in befuddlement. Because they realize their leader is not someone in the NRC, it's the All High Omnipotent FooBah, the esteemed Mr. Rush Limbaugh. Because now, as it stands, NO ONE in the Republican Party will refute anything he utters, no matter how crazy it sounds.
So, in Nevada, crazy is cool in politics.
I say it's a fad. And I predict it will go the way of Senator McCarthy and the Red Communist Scare of the 1950s.
Only thing additional to add is that your article is based on polls.
Although polls can be an indication, they are not reliable at all.
Because there is a Silent Majority.
And I guarantee you that the Silent Majority will flex their muscle come election time in November 2010. I predict Sharron Angle will get trounced.
Not only because of her words, but because of the Republican Party's habit of demonizing people. In just one issue, I predict the American citizens of Hispanic ancestory who can vote...they will march in unison, arm in arm to voting booths...all with vengeance in their eyes...and slap EVERY Republican they can see out of office. All indications show that 99 percent of them are angry. A sleeping giant has awoken.

A pity that Barry Goldwater and William F. Buckley Jr are no longer with us.
The things they would write and say about these Tea Party "conservatives" would crack me up..
ColinFromLasVegas
The hispanic Americans in Arizona vote Republican. The democrats are government retirees and trust fund liberals.
"The democrats are government retirees"
Like Sharron Angle and her husband? If she thinks government dependence is so sinful, why won't she and her husband give up their pensions?
"What if it's you that's missing the elephant in the lobby of the MGM, and missing the significance of the betrayal that decent people feel when they see a legislator of Reid's standing using influence so shamelessly."
Yes, that's right... Reid so shamelessly called the banks to get them to work a deal so MGM could finish CityCenter. And you know what? THAT'S THE KIND OF SHAMELESS I LIKE! Reid did it, and thanks to what he did my friends have jobs at CityCenter and our city didn't implode with what would have been MGM going belly up.
What if it's the reflexive Reid haters that are blinding themselves to the simple logic that having the Senate Majority Leader come from here means Nevada actually has a powerful voice working for us in DC? And that having someone as wise and rational and caring as Harry Reid means that he's constantly trying to do his best because he hasn't forgotten where he comes from?
Now I actually will say that I think Jon Ralston is missing something. I actually think he's underestimating the potential of most Nevadans to think clearly and rationally here. I see it right here in my neighborhood, and I don't live in any "liberal nirvana". I don't even have to start it, my neighbors tell me Sharron Angle scares the living daylight out of them! Between her objection to saving jobs at CityCenter, her objection to saving any other jobs on The Strip, her objection to keeping Medicare & Social Security intact, her objection to letting kids live in happy homes if the parents just happen to be gay, her objection to working mothers making a living for their families, and her objection to just plain common sense, I see more and more of my "stereotypical swing district voter" neighbors say in public what I suspect even more are thinking in private, which is Harry Reid, faults and all, is far and away the ONLY sane choice over the insane Sharron Angle.
"In just one issue, I predict the American citizens of Hispanic ancestory who can vote...they will march in unison, arm in arm to voting booths...all with vengeance in their eyes...and slap EVERY Republican they can see out of office. All indications show that 99 percent of them are angry. A sleeping giant has awoken."
Oh, and don't stop there, Colin. Don't forget the Latinos. And don't forget the working women. And the LGBTQ families. And the casino workers. And the workers in renewable energy. And everyone else Sharron Angle has spit upon. We're ALL angry, and we're ALL waking up and sending the Nevada GOP a message that it doesn't pay to hate.
Xtra, if Hispanic Americans in Arizona were Republican, would Republicans there have worked so hard to pass SB 1070? Think about it: if you are Hispanic or "look" Hispanic--unlike, apparently, Brian Sandogibbons's children--you essentially have to prove constantly that you are American. If so, why would you draw attention to yourself by doing something like voting? Why would you stay here? The notion that Arizona's Latinos and Latinas vote Republican, and that the GOP would be crazy enough to drive away such a large percentage of its voters, strains logic. But, then again, so does almost everything the Republican party does these days.
As to hatred for Harry Reid, a significant number of people will always disagree with one another about policy; that's life. The lunacy expressed by some of Reid's opponents, though, go well beyond any reasoned political argument into, indeed, cuckoo-land. As for Sharron Mangle, when I look at her views historically--as opposed to just whether to agree or disagree with them--I find them frightening in a way that I have not seen from a major party candidate in this state ever. Ever. That makes the Reid hatred seem all the more irrational.
The "hate Reid" campaign largely has come from outside groups (Club For Growth, Tea Party Express, etc)and their battle cry to dump Harry Reid has been incessant for some time, now. Nevadans don't despise the majority leader and that will become apparent November 2. I don't know who is being polled in this election cycle, but no one ever asks me who I will likely vote for. Telephone polls are not reliable anymore anyway. Reasonable people cannot afford to stay home on election day, however. We might just end up with the good looking hypocrite and human crazy glue being our representatives.
TeaParty, Mrs. Angle , FOX , Rush , Glen and Sean ..............
Like a penny in a can; shake it, and it makes a lot of noise.
It is very simple. Many people are paranoid nowadays...economy, health care issues, Senator Reid's careless image of not caring... and Ms. Angle sort of naturally panders to that paranoia. In doing so she does not depart from the extreme conservatism that has characterized her political life. A degree of extremeness that has hindered her political life previously except among the most dedicated far right wingers.
As a result we are faced with the most ridiculous of outcomes. The most powerful man in the US Senate is threatened by defeat by the ultimate backbencher, one who is so extreme that even the conservatives in the Senate tend to shun her.
People who support her may think that in doing so they are striking a blow for better government and better representation for Nevada, but if successful, they are in for the most nasty of surprises. Nevada, which trails along near the bottom of success measurements nationally, would trail ten times as much if Ms. Angle prevails. And then, who would the very conservative blame?
give it a break. Reid got u what you wanted, an end to Yucca Mountain. He gets the state lots of money from the feds. And you are going to trade that for a whacko who only wants to do one thing and that is to unseat Reid. She has no further adgenda, zip, de nada, nothing. We have one war against afganistan that no one ever, never, not ever has won. Nor are we, fools. Spell it out, Clinton left a lot of money and Bush spent it. By doing what he accused the Democrats of doing. Spending for our children to pay for year after year. Give it a break fools, if all you got is hate well then stew in it.
"why isn't the Senate majority leader, arguably the most powerful Nevadan in history, running away from her in the polls?"
People are sick of the kind of political games he plays (e.g., train to Victorville????), and his support of amnesty is turning off thousands of middle-of-the-road voters like me. I will swallow the bile while I vote against Angle.
Harry Reid and all democrats are dead as far my family and I are concerned and no one can change our minds. We will vote for Angle. (that's about 10 people)
If Angle does somehow manage to get elected, Nevada will become the laughingstock of the country! lol
IMO most of what is happening in politics today is a result of what happened yesterday -- namely the eight-year Bush / Cheney debacle.
I believe the extreme-right we're seeing today is a reflex to the broken trust that so many conservatives came away with after giving their loyalty to a man and having it snuffed out in a cloud of TARP bailouts and non-existent WMDs.
The icing on the GOP s%!& cake was Democrats taking over the House and Senate in 2006 then the White House in 2008.
Conservatives had such as emotional investment in Bush, especially after 9/11, that they mindlessly followed wherever he wanted to go. W's victory parade led his party over the cliff leaving his most devoted supporters empty and bitter.
That bitterness toward GW Bush is the fuel that powers today's Obama / Reid / Pelosi hatred.
The odd thing about this is that this the Republicant's goal, they do not seem worried about anything else. If this is the Republicant's only concern they have this year, except for seeing some tax breaks for the wealthy disappear, then why would anyone in their right mind vote for these idiots. If the Bush administration was conservative then we sure cannot afford that again. It sure changed the meaning of conservative in my mind. The local spokeswoman for the Republicant's was concerned about when people will forget about Bush, my answer to that is when we get out of Iraq and the unemployment and housing market are stable again and I do not think it will occur with Republicant's in office of any nature, state or national.

Blind Hatred of Harry Reid
Harry Reid's Position on the Issues:
Anti-Gun
Pro - Abortion
Pro - Amnesty
Pro - Big Government
Pro - Tax
Anti - Business
And now..while Angle has not attacked Reid's comments made as and to Mormons:
Reid is smearing Angle..
Reid is Anti-Christian
Reid's famous quotes..
The war is lost
Tourist smell
No illegals working in Nevada
And the list goes on..
No one should hate Harry Reid or Sharon unless they first view the political candidates through the eyes of political atheist-ism.
I have over a period of months adopted this process of stepping back and viewing all politicians using this method.
I don't care about what they say at the union meeting's. I don't care what my parents or other relatives think as to these politicians. What I care about is the United States of America and if the governance of the nation is by political activism or by the constitution.
It seems Harry Reid, as he tows the party line, tramples over the constitution in his attempts to curry favor with the president and his corporate constituents. That is not only dereliction of his duties to all of us, but traitorous. Harry must be removed for his corruption.
Sharron injects her religion into politics. I believe that this is a mistake in this era of post Christianity. But then again, so did the founding fathers of this country. Religion was an important part of society two hundred years ago.
Both political parties in America let us down. They are one in the same. The government has gone where there is no constitutional basis. Little by little we let the politicians curry favor with the voters by distributing "gifts" from our treasury that they give to the constituents of the district. Be it the life destroying welfare check, or paying doctors to treat the elderly.
"We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism."
-- Nikita Khrushchev
If we are to save the Republic, both you and I and the rest of the readers here must become political atheists. Maybe we can reset America back on track by returning to the basis of law under the constitution of the UNITED STATES of America. Without everyone working for this common goal, we will spiral down into anarchy.

I have watched the Mormon candidates besmirched by opponents who play on fears that the next American Pope is in Salt Lake City.
For a Mormon, Harry Reid. to use religion as a political smear against a Christian candidate is one more reason not to vote for him.
He is neither a good Christian or a good Mormon.
xtra,
I wonder, has anyone from his church spoke as to endorsing Reid?
ReverendKscribe
The LDS Church, officially, cannot endorse
But..all of the Mormons who are or who have been elected ..seem to be Republicans.
I noticed the "Mormon" issue was used against Montandon.
The Mormons are elected in the Republican Party by what appears to be the very many Christian Denominations that are supposed to be "anti-Mormon."
But I think the record clearly shows that using religion as a political smear is a democrat strategy. Historically speaking.
Well any one that hates is not worth listening too and not a good person.
Did he hurt you! NO
Did he hurt your family NO
Did he hurt Nevada NO
Did he break his oath of office NO
Did he kill someone NO
Did he do unlawful things No
Did he hurt Las Vegas NO
Then why do you hate him??
I thing it's all because he is doing such a great job and that he is a Democrat.
For goodness sake stop watching Fox News, they lie and fabricate everything.
Harry Reid and all democrats in congress are wonderful and did and are doing a fantastic job. Stop listening to the Party of nothing, no, attack propaganda, and slime machine
The blinding hatred is being propelled by the nut cases on AM talk radio. Most of them aren't even in Nevada, but they have the national programs that influence the weak-minded such as the Tea-Party movement. And the few AM nut cases that are local are considered by most normal human beings to be every bit a wacko as the national ones, just with a smaller audience... Much smaller.
It's time we started listening to the people who have the best ideas and stop listening to the people who scream the loudest.
GHM writes: "For goodness sake stop watching Fox News, they lie and fabricate everything."
Proof please...
GHM
I am an equal opportunity hater...I hate 'em all even though the Congress under Harry Reid has passed laws establishing a religion contrary to mine and limiting my freedom of expression thereof...
So I will not vote for him
Let's all vote for "none of the above" as we would be better off not being represented by either.

Reid is not anti gun. Reid is for a woman's right to choose, not "pro-abortion." Trying to come up with a sane immigration policy is not the same as "amnesty." See Reagan for amnesty. If Reid were "anti-business" he would not have bothered to intervene in City Center's probelms. Angle would not have helped them. Repeating Sharron Angle's words and statements is not "smearing" her. Maybe she ought to quit talking so she and her supportes can have less to whine about. We pay less taxes now than under Reagan and Jim Gibbons big and only idea for this state was "I won't raise taxes." That worked out real well, didn't it.
Reid anti-gun? Why's the NRA back him?
Just shows the ignorance of the anti-Reid crowd.
How come Sue Lowden is not campaigning for Angle/ How come Heller, who Angle said was a democrat, is not campaigning for Angle.
John Ensign? How come he is not campaigning for Angle? Why won't he comment on the Rangle and Waters situation?
The comment by LastThroes at 9:26AM and subsequent comment pr1ncess at 9:36AM are good comments that pretty much reflect why there is so much anti-Reid rhetoric.
Let there be no mistake there are numerous outside influences, people who will not vote here in Nevada, that all want to make their mark on this upcoming election. Senator Reid, from everything I see, is a top target for the neo-conservatives, the Tea Party, and the Republicans.
They are out for him.
But I guarantee that they are watching the polls and are just as incredibly concerned.
Sharron Angle's lead was whittled down to nothing. And, I predict the polls will be close for the next 80 or so days. And the only reason why is because I guess it's fashionable to be anti-Senator Reid.
But, as everyone knows, polls don't mean nothing. The Silent Majority and the independents will flex their muscle at the polling booths come November.
And Sharron Angle will be vaporized. To fade off into irrelevance. Not even worthy of a footnote in Nevada political history.
Sandy99
Your statements regarding Reid are euqivalent to Reid stating that there aren't any illegals working in Nevada..
Reid is anti-gun, anti- business, anti-Christian, pro-abortion, pro-amnesty,
I agree with Angle. She uses terminology that the liberals are not familiar with..mainly western culture pre 1960..
I was in Russia during peristroika. It was sad. The Russians had been promised so much by the government that everyone was standing around with their hands out..and crying that the government was foul and evil because the manna was not falling from heaven. They despised work....Gaming the system was mod, hip, suave and cool and the one who worked the least and collected the most won.
The Russians had been taught to rely on the government for every thing..what to do, where to live, what and when to eat..they were adrift when the government collapsed. The Russians were packing the Churches..trying to find a way back to God and themselves...
The US is going where Russia has been..
I must admit, I began to despise Harry Reid when I witnessed his atrocities on the Senate floor. 'The war is lost' 'Bush is a liar' and making disparaging remarks about 'Negro dialect'...
The war in Iraq was the mistake of modern American history since Vietnam - but once we had our boys and girls on the ground - there were 2 options, white flags or win! Harry Reid began crocheting white flags on day one -- with complete disregard for the severe impact on our troops!
Yes, Harry Reid is - 'Canny as they come' but most of Nevada and America - are sick & tired of another run-of-the mill, self-serving, canny Senator! (GOP included).
mred
Reid has voted for Anti-Second Amendment Judges. He does so consistently.
When it was rumored that the NRA MIGHT endorse Reid, there were bloggers all over the net saying they were canceling their lifetime memberships.
I think Angle has the NRA endorsement.
mred
The NRA strongly disapproved of Kagan and said it would not endorse any candidate who supported her..
That means Reid
Tired of this "lip service" Reid comes to Nevada, wears his NRA hat then goes to Washington and votes for legislation and judges who are anti-gun.
Hypocrite Reid!
Liberal lefty Jon is at it again. Ever think that you are the one who needs to listen and open your eyes? Seems to me you made up your mind and were looking for any reason to discredit anyone who runs against your man-crush Reid. Reid did get haters because of the length of his service, he became loathed because of who he is and how self absorbed he is. Keep trying to make Angle out as crazy, it's your only chance for succeeding

The NRA wields too much power as it is. They didn't even want cop killer bullets banned. Nobody is taking away the right to bear arms in this country no matter what propaganda the NRA puts out there. Anybody can still become a small militia if they want.

No one is taking away the right to bear arms in this country..
That sounds like kindergarten talk. No one is taking the toys...We are just putting them in this box and no one can touch them unless and until we give permission. Now every one can get a hug from Mr. Bundy here for being good boys and girls.

xtra, are you having trouble obtaining a gun? I can get one if I want. I think all my neighbors own guns. Getting a gun (legally or otherwise) is not hard to do in this country no matter what extreme right says.
After carefully listening to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi over the past couple of years, I believe they both have some serious mental problems.
A few months ago, one of my neighbors informed me that since Barack Obama was elected, he had been stockpiling ammunition, in anticipation of gun and ammunition sales being outlawed. He told me he had already accumulated over 8,000 rounds. I suggested that if it took him that many bullets to kill a deer, maybe hunting wasn't his thing. He just glared at me.
Of course, gun and ammunition sales have not been outlawed. The subject hasn't been raised by the President or any Democrats in Congress since the 2008 election, and it doesn't look like they've been shy about pursuing the sometimes unpopular legislation that fills their agenda. In fact, it's really only been a subject of discussion for people who subscribe to the theory that guns will be outlawed at any moment, and foreign troops wearing blue helmets will descend from black helicopters to confiscate them. Naturally, the NRA and the manufacturers do what they can to encourage the discussion, because it's good for their business, isn't it? And when a major party candidate for the Senate starts talking about "second amendment solutions," the dollar signs light up in every gun shop in the country.
So, if you support Sharron Angle because you honestly believe Harry Reid is anti-gun, despite the impending NRA endorsement of the Senate Majority Leader, I won't try to talk you out of it. All I have is reason, facts, and logic, and you're not buying it; you're too busy buying more ammunition, for the day you have to defend your home against UN troops, or marauding migrant workers, or racist co-workers, or whatever your personal glorious death-fantasy might consist of. Just one request: sometime between killing your spouse and killing yourself, please leave a note, so the rest of us don't have to wonder what finally set you off.

Ummmm....No.
Obama angered much of the Hispanic community by condemning the Honduran government for protecting it own Constitution. This rush to judgment resulted in serious losses of foreign aid. Every use of the term "coup de ta" was a lie as two branches of the legitimate government legally removed that Chavez wanna-be Zalaya.
The Honduran Congress and Supreme Court assigned a police action and effectively removed a threat in accordance with their Constitution, not ours, theirs.
Our ally suffered through it and caught undeserved condemnation. Obama and his Yale Cabinet were flat wrong, and Harry and his posse were silent accomplices.
Anybody hear an apology?
Don't expect a mass turn out of Hispanics.
I don't Hate Senator Reid, I just hate his politics, Jon; once again you try to figure out another way to hold your canidate up, and at the same time have your head up his butt.This is what I hate about Reid:

"Yes, that's right... Reid so shamelessly called the banks to get them to work a deal so MGM could finish CityCenter. And you know what? THAT'S THE KIND OF SHAMELESS I LIKE! Reid did it, and thanks to what he did my friends have jobs at CityCenter and our city didn't implode with what would have been MGM going belly up."
Las Vegas is more than MGM, friend at the left. MGM is a big donor from Reid's past campaigns. Will they recuse themselves from donating now that they're benefactors of Reid's influence? Yes, it's good to work in chorus with city leaders and business to facilitate a strong economy. Nobody is against that.
What Nevada voters ARE against is Old Boy crony favors to paying constituents. Need help? What are you worth in votes? No help for small businesses, only a freight train of taxes to face. But the big boys, Labor Unions, Teachers Unions, Service Unions, and MGM, roll a red carpet all the way to the bank for their vo..er donat...err jobs, yeah, that's it, for jobs.
The jobs at MGM came from across the street, Mr. Left, not from Harry Reid. The Mom and Pop across the street gave up jobs for Harry and MGM. All gave some and some gave all. So is this really pro-business, this take from the poor and give to the rich and laugh all the way to the ballot box? Where have you been? You really don't have any friends working at MGM, do you?
YOu may like shameless vote swapping but it reflects poorly on you and on your party. The $883 million in losses posted by MGM don't speak well for your social management skills, but then those skills are only theoretical not proven. Harry Reid, with your approval is blending the worst of the Chicago Machine with the 'best social science' coming out of a Godless and failed Old World.
That makes Harry an Old World Old Boy.
Criminy. Tell your "friends" working at MGM to pull their money out of Harry's bank, you've probably already done it.
This is how nations fail, let alone banks.
God help us.....
Jon: The last part of your commentary on this issue is interesting and presumptuous. You said "Sharron Angle may indeed be dead, and we don't realize it yet. If so, not even God can save her. And how ironic it would be after she brought Christianity into the race if Angle had helped to resurrect Harry Reid."
--------------------------
Pmontg53 comment:" Not even God can save her, that one of the most foolish thing you've said so far. God can, and will save anyone who puts their trust in him. you sound like the man that built the titanic, when asked by a reporter, the reporter asked about how soundly constructed was the ship, the Ships builder said" Not even God can sink this ship". Here you are saying something very similar, every bible believing Christian should be offended by you cavalier attitude about God. You speak of God without the slightest notion of Reverence or fear. Sharron Angle is alive, and her Campaign is going quite well, think about it; this women use to be unknown to most voters, Harry Reid is well known, and have been for what seem to be 100 years now, It seem not to matter how your news report, and his TV ads try to make her look, she is still giving him a bloody nose. "Poor old pinky". Once again I don't hate Senator Reid, but I strongly disagree with his Politics, Jon you spin soo far to the left if an ant blows on you; you would tip over. Oh and Jon I'm sure that no one hates you either, just hate the way that you are sooooo bias. Truthfully I think that you are helping Sharron Angle by being so bias, I don't feel sorry for Reid, or hate him, but it is time for him to go, and as for your Reid supporters who say that WHEN Sharron Angle win, Nevada will be Laughed at as a state, or Sharron is an embarrassment to the State of Nevada; There again I disagree, Mrs. Angle have not tried to force her beliefs on anyone, Mr. Reid I'm sure have a army of consultants from all across the U.S.A digging up dirt on Mrs. Angle, he have the Money, and resources to produce a smear campaign, most thinking Voters know, and expect this from Dirty Harry. Al least Angle knows who she believes, and why she believes it. Lastly: the only one that can resurrect anyone is God, not Sharron Angle, I am sure that she knows that also, as most Christians; are offended. Jon you should stop mocking God
The other day my neighbor told me he recently lost his job. He couldn't afford the COBRA so he lost his health insurance as well. He's getting unemployment benefits but just barely surviving. He said he needs to see a doctor but can't afford it, so could I could hook him up with one of my physician friends who would see him for free? Just as he asks that question, he sees the Harry Reid sign in my window, and goes all tea bag on me, railing about how Reid and Obama are commie, socialist, facists ruining our country.
S'cuse me?
Within the space of five minutes, this guy asked me (a commie, socialist, fascist pinko type) to get him free health care while simultaneously blaming the country's problems on commie, socialist, fascist pinko types who want stuff like universal health care for all.
That's the problem with irrational folks. They want what they want when they want it because of an irrational and misguided sense that they deserve it more than the rest of us - and don't see it as hypocritical at all.

For any of you Reid supporters, I have asked a few of you for answers about his record, you know who you are, CollinsFromLasvegas, and a few others, you dodge this record, and call Republican Teabagers,Wingnuts and so on, (1).Harry Reid Voted not to build a border fence, that is a fact, a border Fence would help protect people, and property along the Border with Mexico. Yet you harpoon Sharron Angle, Harry voted against making English the national Language, This sound like a wingnut, your wing nut voted him self a raise when employment is at its highest ever, where is the articles by Jon Rolston on these issues? One of our highest priorities should be to protect our borders. Your candidate doesn't want his record exposed on that issue, any Reid Supports care to debate?
pmontg53: Reid's record is exceedingly well-known to Nevada voters. You seem to be an expert! The question for average voters (i.e. those not inhabiting the comment threads) is whether Sharron Angle is a reasonable alternative. At this point, that answer leans no as people learn more about her. Angle promises to continue her obstructionism in the U.S. Senate, and people (the average voter, remember) are tired of that. While in the state legislature, she repeatedly pushed the lie that abortion causes breast cancer; that's just irresponsible and cruel. And what we're learning about her plans for a Christian theocracy in place of our government repels Nevadans who respect that our nation was founded on religious tolerance.
Why aren't prominent Republicans campaigning for her, like Lowden, Heller, Krolicki, Jon Porter, Raggio, Townsend and her former Assembly colleagues?
pmontg:
Mr. Reid I'm sure have a army of consultants from all across the U.S.A digging up dirt on Mrs. Angle, he have the Money, and resources to produce a smear campaign
+++++
Do you get that no one has to "dig up dirt" on Angle? All the Reid campaign has to do is show video of what she says. If that is a smear campaign, then Mrs. Angle has a bu** load of problems.
Hey Jon (or Brian)
This is off topic but there's an interesting yet very sad story brewing (pun intended) in Arizona. It's not about brown-skinned dishwashers but is about brutal white-skinned killers.
Seems three convicted murderers escaped from a prison in Kingman AZ, a privately contracted facility that was supposed to house only so-called 'level 1' minimum security offenders such as those convicted of DUIs or similar crimes.
Yet somehow the small-govt AZ GOP cut and gut, sliced and diced the prison budgets and forced the state to privatize the system. Apparently, Gov. Brewer pushed hard for the scheme.
Here's the tragic rub. Police believe the escaped murderers are responsible for the killing of a a husband and wife, both 61, vacationing in New Mexico. Forensic evidence points to the escapees.
One of the three has been captured but two remain on the loose as well as a female accomplice, a woman, believe it or not, who THREW A PAIR OF WIRE CUTTERS over a fence at the minimum security facility that was not supposed to be housing murders in the first place.
Anyway at its heart this is about the ramifications of cutting and gutting govt agencies and services.
The people who ceaselessly scream their bats*it crazy hatred of Harry Reid (because he can't make people come to Nevada to gamble and spend their unemployment money) do more to ensure my vote for him than any of the batsh*t crazy that comes out of Sharron Angle's mouth.
In gratitude for the partial voting record provided by pmontg53 of Senator Harry Reid, here's Sharon Angle's voting record during her 6 year tenure in the Nevada Legislature (Republican controlled):
Voted NO on ... everything.
Sharron Angle was known by her colleagues as "41 to Angle." Nobody could figure her out...and ultimately everyone decided to stop even trying.
Me too.
Nightingale-Thank you so very much for you response, I don't know why Rebubs are not campaigning for Sharron Angle; I personally don't follow what other Repubs think. I can understand you feeling the way that you do if you believe that abortion is right, that is your choice, I'm voting for Angle, that is my choice.
Oh, pmontg53, you lost your shuck-n-jive persona...what's up with that?
sandy99 Try swinging a little harder, Harry have the money we know. What you see as Sharron Angle being a Wingnut, I see as her being in line with sound biblical principles, the only wing nut in this race is your Harry
Nightingale: You said that Senator Raids record is well known, I'm not so sure, I've talk to voters who are Democrats, and Republican, and independents, not anyone who I've spoken with concerning his vote on illegal immigration knew about how he voted, these are very serious issues concerning national security. You might look the other way on issues like these, but I know some Democrats who have change their views about Harry, and have now said that they will be voting for Sharron Angle.
By Celeritas Oh, pmontg53, you lost your shuck-n-jive persona...what's up with that?
---------------------------------------------
By Pmontg- No; that a lot more.
Celeritas, what do you think about Senator Reid's voting record on Illegal Immigration? Do you think that the united States Should build a border fence between Mexico, and the U.S? Senator Reid voted No on English being the national Language for the United States, do you think that he voted right on that? what about the sanctuary city, and giving social services to illegal aliens, do you believe like him on these issues? I am not talking about Sharron Angle, or Me, but exactly what do YOU think about the issues.
I have to take a Movie break. As for you Reid supporters, I hope to hear from you soon,or have the Chickens gone to the barn for the night? Celeritas- is this what you call my shuck-n-jive?
Those are fair questions, pmontg53. I'll take 'em in reverse order:
Sanctuary City: I think there is a segment of our population that is way too mean on many (if not all) social issues, this being one of them. I believe I AM my brothers keeper. And I think we Americans should be smart enough to figure out a workable solution to immigration, keeping in mind "illegals" have been INVITED to come here illegally for over 50 years. Also, if I were a Mexican, and unless I belonged to one of the eight ruling families, I would probably be dirt poor. I would come here illegally too, especially if I was invited by your U.S. business owners.
English as our National language: I feel Reid voted properly. If a vote came up for us to Nationalize Christianity as our National Religion, or Baseball as our National Sport or Hot Dogs as our National Finger Food I would want Reid to vote "no" on that too.
Should we build a Border Fence between us and Mexico: No, and I refer back to my response on Sanctuary Cities. I feel "The Border" is not the problem, "illegal aliens" are not THE problem, and building astronomically expensive fences to keep people out (and in) diverts our proper focus on those U.S. businesses causing THE problem. I also feel that once we admit to OUR problem, which is too hard for hypocrites to do, we can put together intelligent comprehensive immigration reform. I believe THAT is where we should put our money. In the meantime, we need to solve the problem, not get stupid and mean.
Thanks for asking.
pmontg53 said "Celeritas- is this what you call my shuck-n-jive?"
The fact that you asked that question proves my point. You are not who you say you are, pmontg53. Why all the trouble to fake it...how many other usernames do we know you by...?
LMAO!
Angle is dead, huh ? I'll take a dead Angle over a living Reid, no matter how nutty she is.
As far as NRA support and "pro-gun" Reid goes: The NRA is not primarily pro-gun anymore, they're first and foremost pro-NRA, and have shown to hurt gun owners by dealing with the devil (aka Democrats) to further their own political and financial interests to the detriment of gun owners. (see campaign finance reform backroom deals).
As far a Reid being pro-gun: NV is largely pro-gun, so he gives lip service to the gun owners. It doesn't change the fact that his party is one of gun haters, and needs to be removed from power.
Reid is so poisonous, even his son wants nothing to do with him in his campaign.
Give 'er hell, Harry!
"The jobs at MGM came from across the street, Mr. Left, not from Harry Reid. The Mom and Pop across the street gave up jobs for Harry and MGM."
Ummm, no. It was actually local mom & pop businesses that benefitted from CityCenter opening. It's called a "chain reaction". MGM needed construction materials, linens, slot machines, card tables, dinner tables, and much more. Local suppliers got a much needed lifeline.
And yes, I DO actually know people who have jobs today thanks to CityCenter. I don't need to hear Sharron Angle's BS bashing Reid and MGM. I know the facts because I've seen for myself.
And as bad as things are now, it would be a complete nightmare had MGM gone bankrupt. We probably would be on our way to becoming a ghost town... Wait, is this actually what Angle wants? Maybe I'm onto something...
Republicans are full of hate.
Republicans are full of greed.
Republicans lie.
Republicans will LOSE BIG in November.
LIVE BETTER,WORK UNION.
Give these crazy republicans HELL, HARRY.
pmontg53: Do not put words in my mouth. I did not say whether I thought abortion was right or wrong. I said Angle was irresponsible to use her elected position to promote the lie that it causes breast cancer. That is a separate issue.
It really is odd that Angle is not getting much national or local Republican support. Even McConnell, the Sneate Minority Leader, won't campaign for her.
Are you volunteering for Angle and are you one of the 1 million who are sending her $25?
I'm sure when the "Anybody But Reid" crowd came up with their slogan, they totally did not have Sharron Angle in mind.
It's like the girl who got dumped for her boyfriend and claims she'll sleep with the next man she sees. But then a bumbling, incoherent social leper approaches her, and she pauses for a moment before deciding she's not THAT desperate.
So instead of having an electable Republican in Reid's seat, voters would rather stick with Reid. It almost makes you wonder if Democrats sabotaged the Republican primary by making sure they don't stand a chance this November.
At least they'll know they did their best to ensure Reid's seat for another 6 years by running Angle.
You've got to be the best tool for Democrats that you can be.
Nightingale:I have not sent the Angle Campaign one dime.My point is many things that shes said have been taken out of context.

Pmontg53 I have no other user names, just pmontg53. You assume too much.
Celeritas, I was so glad to hear from you I punched one too many keys and lost my response.
Pmontg53. No illegal alien is my brother or sister. They might be your brother, sister, mother father, child, but they are a burden on the American tax payer, these are law breakers. Most Americans do not support Sanctuary Cities, and are learning that our Federal tax dollars are going toward helping cities that harbor illegal aliens piss most of us off. Border Fence, truly you have lost your mind, if you don't think that our Nation's borders should have a secured fence; you are mad, American Citizens are being terrorize, and killed daily by illegal's who go back and forth across our borders at will, you like Senator Reid; something is wrong with that way of thinking.
I have a couple of analogies that I'd like to share:
ANALOGY #1: In bicycle racing, it often comes down to a sprint. A consummate sprinter knows exactly how much energy to expend to beat an opponent. The perfect sprint is won by a tire width.
ANALOGY #2: In the movie "Saving Private Ryan," the Allied forces storm the beach and suffer severe losses to the Nazi gunners. Through the efforts of the Captain (Tom Hanks) and his troops, the Allied forces gain the upper hand. At one point a Nazi soldier comes flying out of the pillbox engulfed in flame. An Allied soldier screams, "Don't shoot him! Let him burn!"
Now, class, compare and contrast these analogies with the Reid/Angle campaign.
Where were you republicans when Bush had an
open border policy?
Not one word until Obama got in.
gogo: you apologize
skerlahdee- Good analogys, it will be up to the voter in Nevada come November, Jon Jon might be right. Voters hate Senator Reid too much to put him back in office.
I don't hate Reid on a personal level because I don't know Reid on a personal level.
I do hate what he is.
He is a leader of one of the coldest, darkest and corrupt machines in the USA.
People like Reid are only interested in one thing....money. They help the powerful to get more power so that they can rig the system so that they can get more power to do only one thing...make money.
Reid was corrupt when he was part of the gaming board.
Reid raise to power is because of his corruption ability.
Obama also grew up in the corruption game. Chicago is either the king of corruption on a city level or at least it is in the top 5. The same can be said for state of Illinois.
Rahm got the chief-of-staff job because of his corruption ability.
About 90% of all politicans become corrupt...that is true on city, county, state or Federal level.
There are just different degrees of corruption.
County commissions, mayors, sheriffs, city council, city managers.....they are on the high end of corruption.
Senate leaders, Speaker of Houses are kings and queens of corruptions.
Almost all presidents are very corrupt. The same true for governors.
If you don't understand that then you are a truly naive person.
Angle has not been corrupted....yet.
There are conservative politicans that are corrupted.
There are liberal politicans that they are corrupted.
Some play the game to move their agenda forwards...but most do it to make money.
There is absolutely no hope for the USA.
We are doom.
We will continue our spiral downward.
I say we got about 50 years before we either become a country ran by a dicator or have a major civil war or just break up into 4 to 7 little countries.
Hey Teamster, I am still very pro union, however most union jobs are going to illegal aliens. you asked where was the Republican Party when Bush had an open border policy, I can tell you, my take on illegal immigration have not changed. I sent emails to Senator Reid, Ensign, and even President Bush. I have taken a stand against this illegal invasion ever since it was brought to my attention when Bush was in office, I will not support any candidate who will not promise to secure our Borders, I don't always vote my party, I will vote for a Democrat, independent, or Republican, I vote for what is best for America, not what is best necessarily for me. Your Senator was on the open borders side along with Bush, so in answer to your question, I was against President Bush take on Immigration, and I am also against Senator Reid's take on it, That's where I was then, and that is where I am now.
There is little that needs to be said.
Pmontg53: "American Citizens are being terrorize, and killed daily by illegal's who go back and forth across our borders at will,..."
This isn't about Reid or Angle, this is about your hatred of people; Mexican people to be precise.
You are not here to opine against Reid; you are here only to ejaculate your bigot racial vomit and lies.
But your worst fear is absolutely true; nobody wants you.
Who are you really?
Whooooo cares.
The funny thing is the public has no idea how bad Harry is really screwing the public of Nevada. He owns most of the water rights in the Yerington area and is holding the farmers hostage there. He is a mobster with federal protection. I wish the media would do investigative reporting and keep our politicians honest. The Greenspuns/LV SUN protect the Reids.
In reading these posts this morning, I find many things curious and questionable.
I have ALWAYS questioned the vast, uninformed, deep-seated HATRED of Harry Reid. I know Harry Reid. I can proudly say Harry Reid is a friend of mine. Harry Reid has done a multitude of great things for our state and for other states as well. My mother in California has cited to me numerous legislations that have helped her state in one way or another. I'm not ashamed of my friendship with Harry.
Neither am I a rich, elitist corporation, a bank bigwig or a trust fund baby as some would like to use as descriptive of all Democrats. I am a small business owner who earns well into the range that the President would seek to raise taxes upon come January 1. While I don't relish it, I totally understand it. It is part of what I know I need to do to help right the economic ship of state of our country. In no way do I feel that I am being ripped off to support the "spoiled citizenry" of unemployed, shiftless or lazy hobos content to get a whopping $300 a week to live on. I DO have a son with a college education working at the only job he could get, paying him LESS, net after taxes, than what he was receiving on unemployment. His girlfriend, also a college graduate, works two jobs in both housekeeping at a small hotel and part time at a fast food restaurant. I hope my vote for Harry Reid takes some of my tax dollars to help small businesses and people earning less than $1 million a year to relax a little and expand their hiring so maybe these two young people -- who, by the way, will be supporting OUR generation in just a few years and making OUR living decisions when it comes to nursing homes -- can get a job more in line with their education. My greatest fear, however, is that the days of the Great American Middle Class is disappearing more and more every day. It will soon cease to exist as the tax structure of both our state and our national government, if decided by the Republicans, will be reduced to them that got's and them that don't gots. Stop and think for a moment on which side of the fence that places you.
Another issue that has me curious is how focused you seem to be on illegal immigrants being only of Mexican heritage. What about the HUGE influx of Asian population? The Vietnamese, the Chinese, the Japanese, or the Phillipines. Have you been to a hospital lately? 90 percent of health care workers are from the Phillipines. Why is your vitriol so focused on those of Mexican descent?
While we're at it, about those jobs you claim those illegal immigrants are taking. I would love to see a busload of average American unemployed workers rounded up and dropped off at your local Home Depot or Lowes and competing for those "jobs" that are allegedly being snatched away by these horrible little brown people. And construction jobs -- let's gather up a crowd of your white or African American unemployed construction workers and take them down to the Union Hall to sit all day, waiting for their names to be called for those jobs that require 8 to 10 hours in a blazing Las Vegas summer to build the homes that no one is buying. Mrs. Angle complains that there are all these jobs for Nevadans but the illegals are taking them -- show me where!! What white or other pristine ethnicity by your group mentality standards are lining up for THOSE jobs?
But ethnicity and race are the true underlying factors in this disgustingly polarized political climate we find ourselves in. We have a Black President. We elected him. He had and still has ideas that would transcend party affiliation and get America back on the road to recovery in so many more ways than just economically. It's so very convenient to point the finger at him and say he hasn't repaired what former Republican administrations took YEARS to destroy. But the main thing it comes down to is that he is African American. You just can't get over that. The Republicans are so deeply and treacherously offended by that that they will pursue an agenda of "NO" to the exclusion of all else.
I was watching a History Channel show about America: The History of Us and the ORIGINAL GOP Republican Party President, Abraham Lincoln, stated: "A House divided against Itself cannot stand." How true that seems to be in today's world.
Another History Channel show brought out another scary fact: The Roman Empire fell in 490 A.D. It was an extraordinarily advanced society, with running water, sewer systems, modestly advanced medical treatments and a bipartisan government. The government wasn't perfect, but at least the society enjoyed a modicum of technological advances. The Huns, Franks, and other Barbarian tribes destroyed it and with it, the keepers of the technologies they possessed. It would take the world 1200 YEARS to return to the level once held by the Romans. Are we so ready to destroy ourselves from within and allow an outside force to overtake us in our weakened condition that we cannot see our way clear to simply DO WHAT IS RIGHT? These are things that keep me up at night.
I'm voting against Harry Reid. I don't think that is irrational. Although I have heard, in Reid's ads, Sharron Angle say some extreme things, I doubt that she could do as much damage as a backbencher in the Senate as Harry Reid can do and has already done.
The largest part of my voting strategy this year is to send a message to these politicians and to future politicians. The message is that they should never again knowingly ignore the will of the people in order to foist more and more government on us, whether they think it is for our own good or not.
Angle may be very far to the right, but she will be only one of a handful in the Senate who are extremely conservative, so where's the harm in electing her?
In contrast, Reid'd extremist views are shared by about half the Senate, so he is a far greater menace to society.
If only Harry heard the will of the people and voted with them instead of against them like politiciancs should do. I.E. Bailouts and Obamacare... Its not hard to figure out why people hate this bafoon.
Well, the closer it gets to Election Day, the more and more it's in the hands of the voters. Based on what the Democrats under Reid and Obama have done, I think Reid should get his butt kicked out of Congress.
However, in the final analysis, it's up to the good people of Nevada.
VOTE!
Republican Sharron Angle believes the clergy should be allowed to endorse candidates from the pulpit and opposes laws allowing gays to adopt children, according to a questionnaire by the Nevada Senate hopeful that was obtained by The Associated Press.
Among her positions, outlined in answers to 36 yes-or-no questions, Angle would oppose making sexual orientation a protected minority in civil rights laws. In a section on school prayer, she affirms that students and teachers should be able to talk openly about religion in schools, including the right to "publicly acknowledge the Creator."
Angle is a devout Southern Baptist, and she has talked openly about her faith and how it informs her politics. She describes her campaign as a spiritual calling, and accused Reid and Democrats in Washington of trying to "make government our God" by expanding entitlement programs.
Angle said she would vote in Congress to prohibit abortion "in all cases," and considers a fetus a person under the Constitution.
Also, she would oppose federal efforts to regulate private schools.
From an AP article by Michael Blood
+++++++
I don't care if she will be a "backbencher" if she is elected. I don't want a woman that extreme and that inflexible representing me. She also tells women that abortion causes breast cancer. She doesn't want the federal government regulating private schoos (fair enough) but she also wants the feds to provide vouchers and tax breaks for the private schools. Can't have it both ways. As for voting no for abortions in "all cases," are we to believe that if her daughter were going to lose her life because of a pregnancy, she would want her daughter to die instead of having a termination? Do anyone of you want a teacher prostelitizing in your child's class no matter what the religion of that teacher? If preachers want to endorse candidates from the pulpit, they have to give up their church's tax exempt status. Does Sharron want that for them? She doesn't want gays to pe protected by civil rights laws and doesn't want gay couples to be allowed to adopt. Why? This Christian woman seems to have a problem with tolerance. She is a religious reconstructionist and wants no seperation of church and state as long as we believe as she does. No thanks. And a postscript: Angle is telling us she will be an obstructionist in the US Senate, as she will filibuster "to death" any and all agenda offered up by the Democrats. So she wants to collect 174,000 dollars a year from us not to work -- and she calls Nevada's unemployed spoiled.
While Palin and the teabags were at Searchlight, Reid was with the NRA at the shooting park with the head of the NRA. Angle can't even run a campaign - how can she run a Senate Office?
Where is Lowden? Why won't the chicken lady endorse Angle? Is she for Reid?
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." -- Mahatma Gandhi
Pretty much sums up what I feel about Sharron Angle.
As much as I dislike Harry Reid...I'm afraid he is going to win in November...Harry's campaign in the primary was'nt for the most part against his Democrat opponents...it was against Sue Lowden...in his mind the heavy favorite to beat him...so he went after her with guns blazing,,,vaporized her and left the GOP with Angle.. knowing he could eaily defeat her..his strategy is working to perfection unfortunately
@JerryWayne - exactly right.
Also, whether or not you like Reid (or Obama), he is certainly not 'extremist'. If anything, he (and Obama) have compromised too much with the right.
I'm not crazy about Harry, but Angle is very crazy.
If you vote Harry out, that nuke waste dump is gonna creep back in.
Gosh Jon, you write like a guy who gets all his political info from Harry Reid TV commercials, or does Reid's office phone you before you compose each column to make sure you remember how CRAZY that madwoman Angle is? Like every other Reid apologist you seem to be unable to dwell on the Uriah Heep-like Senate Majority Leader's 'accomplishments'. The failed trillion-dollar stimulus bill, tax increases aimed at drying up every penny of disposable income in the nation (gamblin' money), a Crap On Trade electricity tax that will turn out the lights on the Strip and Fremont Street and a general wallowing in the fetid left-wing swamp of Washingtonian political correctness. The tumbleweeds blowing in the streets past the empty storefronts and foreclosed condos arent much of a record to run on, but hey, those are all George W Bush's fault arent they? You shouldnt worry though, Reid and his slimy ACORN buddies might be able to register enough illegal aliens, corpses, Smurfs, mental patients and names from the Guadalajara phone book to put our progressive Majority Leader over the top so he can put through Card Check and a few more tax increases to bankrupt the evil capitalistic United States and return the Las Vegas valley to the noble pristine uninhabited desert that Gaia intended it to be. BTW aint that Angle a nut-ball?
Go ahead and try to give aid and comfort to the enemy -- Harry Reid. He's going down with all the rest of the Corruptocrats.
There is tidal wave building in this country unlike anything that's been seen in modern politics. The voters will have their way, with or without the vile media inserting itself into the race. Resistance is futile!
hey bringer:
stop believing everything you hear in Reid's political ads. I'm getting sick & tired of him trying to take credit for saving City Center. I worked on the project for a very infuential person who was involved at the top levels.
Sure, Harry called the banks and begged them not to pull out. I'll give him that. But the lenders didn't care what he said. They ONLY came back after Dubai World, who was the big money after MGM, dropped their threatened lawsuit & agreed to remain in the project. Without them there was no project, so when they came back, so did the bank lenders. Please get your facts before regurgetating some political ad!!!
my apologies to bringer!!
the comment was directed to atdleft!!
Who in their right mind would believe anything Harry Reid says now?
Remember, Sharon Angle is not running for Dictator. She's running to be 1 of 100 Senators. That's 1% of the Senate, and a Freshman at that. She couldn't possibly be nearly as dangerous as Majority Leader Reid is.
The fact is that the American people reject the "progressive" (socialist) policies and agenda of Obama and Reid by a 2 to 1 margin. Barely 1/3 of Americans think the country is on the right track (RCP average of all polls). The other 2/3 are fed up with the arrogant elitists, and their "shut up, we know what's best for you" attitude. They're sick of being treated like children. They're sick of being ignored when they tell their reps that they don't want huge "comprehensive" boondoggles passed. They're sick of spin and lies. They're sick of Obama peeing on their shoes and telling them it's raining. They're sick of the corrupt unions giving orders to, and taking taxpayer handouts from Dems. They're sick of socialist "redistribution of wealth".
Harry Reid has not only backed, but pushed hard for every bit of this "progressive" garbage, and he has the hubris to accuse someone who wants fiscal responsibility in Washington a radical? Please.
Arrogant elitist Dems like Reid have created a huge angry backlash. They will feel it's wrath in November, and it's well deserved. It's not hatred, it's people being sick of being sick.
Bye, Bye, Harry
To put hate in your heart, is too become what you hate. For one who choose's to dislike, choose's enlightenment & tolerance over ignorance. Thank you Jon for attempting to enlighten the people. You belong to a noble group of few, in a mass of media talking bobble-heads.
How interesting, now they put editiorials on the front page under a byline...!
(Oh, and mred...you sure are!)
Reid is toast and all the spin in the World will not help. First take a good look at the State of Nevada, enough said.
Second the people never wanted the type of change Obama, Reid and the San Francisco Treat are shoving down the Americans Throats like it or not.
They are smug and look down on us, behind closed doors they call you stupid and laugh at you. And then they disrespect you in doing one thing and explaining it as if it was something else. You are to stupid to know what you want.
These clowns are over, the American people have woke up in a way that has not been seen in many years. They see right through the lies and spin much of the media they have taken over try to put out there.
Only the reality TV, E TV Obama Zombies remain, you know the ones that told Paris Hilton she is a Star and think July 4th is celebrated because we won our Independence from "Brazil".
Wise up people and start to shut them down come Nov.
Senator Harry Reid is Pro-Amnesty, that the taxpayers will be further paying for if he resumes his throne in Washington.
# Closing America's borders with fences, high-tech security devices and troops. (But remember the real 2006 Secure Fence Act, was designed as two parallel fences. Not just--ONE--? It doesn't seem to be turning on a light bulb in America's brain, that two fences were supposed to be constructed adjacent to each other, with a roadway in between for interdiction of every type of criminal, including the millions of illegal aliens.) It's time this question is asked of Senator Harry Reid and the dismantling of permanent E-Verify?
# Rescinding the U.S. citizenship of "anchor babies."
# Punishing the aiding and abetting of illegal aliens as a crime. (That means employers with a prison sentence for habitual offenders.)
# An end to--ALL-- amnesty programs. ( Declare ALL Sanctuary Cities are violation of federal law, and those involved prosecuted.)

Like many papers on the Internet, The Sun announces on the front page some of the articles printed inside the paper. Ralston's column appeared on the opinion page, not the front page.
An interesting article. Hatred always seems so irrational, as long as you are on the other side. Now, I am not a regular reader of this paper or columnist, but I would be willing to bet that he never published a similar missive about the blind irrational hatred of George W. Bush.
Barack Obamam won one election based on that hatred, and it appears that the deomcrats are tryng to do that again this year. Forgive the trite expression, but what goes around comes around too.
Writers above have argued that Reid did not hurt us...
Yes - he did. 40 years of failed leadership in the senate; time enough to diversity Nevada business; Reid's policies have left us with 18 per cent unemployment. Remember - the Senate leadership has a big role in what bills are presented to the president; and Reid has failed us and hurt our families.
Did he hurt your family? Yes - And anyone argues No does not see the many homes the Democratic party, the Barney Franks of the World, and the Harry Reid's have put into Foreclosure. Reid is at fault just as much as any one!!! Yes - blame him. He hurt your family. Shame on Reid for his lies and deception.
Has Reid hurt Nevada? Well - yes - unlike you like to tell your children they must move out of country as Reid's failed stimulation plan did not work. He has split apart families due to the economy. Yes, washing your kids clothes for a few more days is fine...but Reid also has raised your price of electricity shamelessly.
Reid has hurt Las Vegas Economy. He is supposed to be a leader and has no weight with the President, given twice Obama told everyone not to visit the state as it would hurt them. Reid is worthless...and a terrible man. Get wise - 40 years of failed Reid policies...
Yes - there are a few people on these blogs Reid pays out of his pocket (actually he uses tax payer money as his salary is paid by the tax payer - those he has abandoned with no pay raises; cost of living freezes; insufficient retirement funds...).
Reid had 40 years to give the Las Vegas retiree a decent retirement - instead he has stolen funds from them for other programs in his 40 years and now leaves the program in jeopardy.
Vote Reid out of office if you ever have a dream of getting a pay raise; having a house; being able to retire. Reid is Wrong for America and Wrong For Nevada. Reid needs a swift kick out of the country...
You'd have to be insane not to hate Pewee Herman Reid!
Can anyone in Nevada afford six more years of Harry Reid??
Reids ahead in all the polls. Turn off the talk radio and think.
Angle's a laughing stock who has lost all support.
"And that having someone as wise and rational and caring as Harry Reid means that he's constantly trying to do his best because he hasn't forgotten where he comes from?"
You have got to be kidding? This has got to be the greatest fraud played on the American people by the democrat party of criminal frauds. The party of democrats have long since cared about Americans or this Country. How easy some forget these unhinged treasonous haters when they were in the complete MINORITY and irrelevant how they began to fiend for power. They attacked our Country when they supported the enemy sending them lawyers as they worked to undermine President Bush our Soldiers and the War effort. Their malicious attacks and their cohorts in the liberal Media aided in these criminals regaining the Majority and these losers attacks just got bolder.
"I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense and - you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows - (know) this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday," said Reid, D-Nev."
"Dear Senator Reid:
When you say we've lost in Iraq, I don't think you understand the effect of your words. The Iraqis I speak with are the good guys here, fighting to build a stable government. They hear what you say, but they don't understand it. They don't know about the political game, they don't know about a Presidential veto, and they don't know about party politics.
But they do know that if they help us, they are noticed by terrorists and extremists. They decide to help us if they think we can protect them from those terrorists. They tell us where caches of weapons are hidden. They call and report small groups of men who are strangers to the neighborhood, men that look the same to us, but are obvious to them as a foreign suicide cell.
To be brief, your words are killing us. Your statements make the Iraqis afraid to help us for fear we'll leave them unprotected in the future. They don't report a cache, and its weapons blow up my friends in a convoy. They don't report a foreign fighter, and that fighter sends a mortar onto my base. Your statements are noticed, and they have an effect. You are killing us.
Finally, you are mistaken when you say we are losing. We are winning, I see it every day. However, we will win with fewer casualties if you help us. Will you?
Respectfully,
LT Jason Nichols, USN
MNF-I, Baghdad"
This Response to Harry Reid says it all about what the democrats are all about. This is just one of many reasons not just Harry Reid but all his cronies need to be voted out of office.
Causing the needless deaths of American Soldiers should never be ignored or rewarded but that is exactly what those who keep these louts in power did and continue to do.

Celeritas:There is little that needs to be said.
Pmontg53: "American Citizens are being terrorize, and killed daily by illegal's who go back and forth across our borders at will,..."
This isn't about Reid or Angle, this is about your hatred of people; Mexican people to be precise.
You are not here to opine against Reid; you are here only to ejaculate your bigot racial vomit and lies. But your worst fear is absolutely true; nobody wants you. Who are you really?
Whooooo cares.
---------------------------------------------
Pmontg53, Celeritas- You were up this morning at 2:00 a.m your post is the above text: My opinion don't matter to you obviously, I am not concerned about whether you care about what I think, I am going to get the word out as much as I can about Senator Reid's Voting record on illegal immigration- this is a serious matter of national security, you don't think much about national security, you ask me who am I really, I am a concern American Citizen who have defended the freedom that we all have by serving my country for 6 years in the United States Army. I see what's happening to this country, we can guard the borders of Afghanistan, and not guard and secure our own, something is wrong with that, (Who are you really) You said that you are you brother's keeper, meaning the illegal alien, I state that the illegal alien is not my brother, So CELERITAS who are you really? Are you an anchor baby? No don't answer that because I really could care less, in any case you are like Senator Reid, you don't care very much for the USA.
The comments speaking to Angle's support being from "outside sources" are laughable. Harry Reid's 25 million dollar warchest was largely generated from non-Nevada sources. We're supposed to blindly follow a legislator who lives in a Ritz Carlton penthouse and considers his constituents a malodorous necessary evil. It speaks to the contempt Learjet Liberals have for the electorate. John Kerry, $500k tax dodger. Tim Geithner, tax cheat. Kathleen Sebelius, tax cheat. It's not so much that we want Sharron Angle but rather we're tired of being ripped off by the Reids.

Ignorance is bliss heh people.
The only people who hate Reid are the greedy,
crazy, republican teabaggers.
Republicans are full of hate.
This is ONLY about greedy republicans wanting
their power back.
The majority of hard working Americans won't
let these greedy, republican thieves, back in
power.
Harry Reid works for the average American,
not the rich, greedy, republican thieves.
Vote for Harry Reid.
They all lie lectrocuda. Become a political atheist. Let the United States Constitution lead you to the answers you seek.
Harry Reid, has he upheld the constitution or the USA when he gives aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States? Does he? Can you or others here figure it out?
Let me tell you about Reid. All the deals Reid makes are strictly one-way. Reid gets all the rights, and the other party gets all the obligations. Even if one isn't completely conversant with current events, the evidence overwhelmingly indicates that there is a simple answer to the question of what to do about his ventures. The difficult part is in implementing the answer. That is left up to you the voters.
Everybody knows that every one of his promises to us was broken before the words were fully out of his mouth, but you should consider that he represents the most inferior form of human evolution. Again, he often tries to prove his points by quoting "authorities" who are in fact nothing more than deplorable-to-the-core ideologues. As execrable as Harry's views are, Harry is capable of only two things, namely whining and underhanded tricks. As is so often the case, his disciples warrant that he is a champion of liberty and individual expression. I say to them, "Prove it"--not that they'll be able to, of course. How can we trust a scurrilous bully who actively conceals his true intentions? We can't. No one can!
Sharron is not a career Nevada Senator like Harry. I don't really care for her, but what am I to do? Send Harry back for six more years to make a mockery of this state? I think not!
Become a political atheist. These people don't care about you, they care only for themselves. Should you vote? It may be a choice between Satan and a lesser evil. Remember that Harry has "friends" he has made in Washington. These are not the type of friends you invite over for a beer and a poker game. These friends "owe favors." When the Senator needs something done to benefit himself he just picks up the phone. Figure it out. Harry has "served" how many terms? Do you think he has not become corrupted by Washington? The truth is that the city on the hill shining is nothing more than another red light district in DC.
Hey phony reverend...
Republicans DO NOT WORK FOR US AVERAGE PEOPLE.
They only support the RICH.
Always have and always will.
Greedy republicans sent all of our jobs to
COMMUNIST CHINA.
You want to put these greedy clowns back in?
If you do, you're one of them.
And you're no reverend.
I am a Reverend and I am also a former Teamster member.
Your post has the intellect of a child. Read it again. What point have you made that has any sense outside that of a child? Your points are not points but schoolyard taunts. Your contributions are nonsense and contribute nothing to the discussion at hand.
pmontg, how many times are you going to post Harry Reid's voting record? Ever heard of spamming the board?
Sandy99,
One of the things that is never mentioned is that the cash for clunkers deal was an extortion racket, (and a successful one at that), the Chinese layed before Obama. If Obama wanted more money for his spending spree, he had to sell them the scrap steel from the cash for clunkers program.
With this steel they could now grow their infrastructure with this cheap American asset. Don't believe me? Look it up yourself. You do the work.
Dont talk about Obama bowing to the chineese if you shop at Wal Mart.
I dont believe any politician nor do I support American politics. The rev simply asked for proof that fox lies, and he did exactly what I figured. "everybody lies"
Well if thats your justification for being a foxer, so be it.

This is what I call a gutless democrat tactic of transference or projection. Where a democrat hack, lemming or paid blogger accuses Republicans of what in fact is true about democrats, democrats are guilty of or engaged in. I also call this an abuse of the sacrifice of those who gave their lives and fought for our freedom. It is shameless how those who claim this Country is not worth dying for have no problem taking advantage of the SACRIFICE of others to cowardly post their lies.
Why do you support and defend democrats?
As a registered democratic AMERICAN SINCE THE AGE OF 18, after 16 years of blindly and ignorantly voting straight democratic, I never called myself a democrat nor defended them in any way. The moment I began paying attention to politics it took maybe 15 minutes to realize my mistake with just weeks before the Nov.2,2004 election. What I find hilarious is the fact that I figured it all out by myself that the party of democrats were a bunch criminal frauds and serial liars.
I laughed months after that election when I voted republican for the first time as I discovered the democrats bogeyman one at a time. FOX NEWS, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and the rest, they all agreed with me.
The democrat party is a perpetual fraud and they cannot defend their lies coming right out their hateful mouths. Those who hate Republicans do so because they can't admit they are wrong and can't admit their party's leaders are lying scum who are the ones deserving of their hate.
My complete ignorance of politics may have shielded me of the hate towards Republicans however I recall many a family member regurgitating democrat talking point throughout the years. I can only despise and laugh you miserable hateful democrats especially those who claim to be democrats at birth. Your own birth certificate proves otherwise, lol. I've always been AMERICAN, too many of you choose not to be, you've chosen to be ACCOMPLICES, democrats.
RobLACa and lectrocuda,
I do not endorse American political candidates these days. I hate both parties equally. I will vote for the one who is most likely to uphold the United States Constitution.
Now as I posted above, Harry has been corrupted by the system, and who wouldn't after decades in office? Anyone here would be corrupted.
In the end, none of them care for freedom, liberty, love for mankind, etc. They, like all narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths, only care for themselves. In the end they are ALL cowards. Obama included.
It is time for all here to take a stand against the current political system and the whores who participate in the system decade after decade.

Yes and I am not the big Fox fan you think I am. I study history and draw conclusions from the past. Human behavior repeats. It does not matter which country you chose to study, it repeats.
Phony rev......
I speak the truth, that's why you didn't
comment on my actual comments.
Typical hard-right republican.
You can't cover up what you are, no matter how
hard you try.
You republicans will lose big in November.
Here's what the liberals are all about.
The Democrats have literally taken food out of the mouths of children to pay teachers in an obvious payback for supporting their liberal agenda.
Democrats in the Senate decided saving Union Teaching jobs was more important than feeding the pupils they will teach. Harry Reid forced the Senate to vote on a bill that robs the Food Stamp program of $12 Billion with the proceeds going to pay teachers and avoid layoffs of one of the unions that has given massive support to Obama and the Democrats.
Nancy Pelosi has decided to interrupt the summer vacations of House members to speed up the process of starving children to pay Union Fat Cats.
How about a comment, Jon.

Go visit the website of the American Communist Party. Spend a few days there as I have. In the views presented there you will find the policies of one Barack Obama supported and praised. Also try to access the "cache" version, as they do have a way of removing certain items all would find of interest.
Who do you people think overtook the green movement after the fall of the wall in Berlin?
If you said "The Marxists" you would be correct.
Take what I just said from a man who once was a communist. If you call yourself a progressive liberal, and uphold policies of a regime that rules AGAINST the American people, the day is coming that you will be called into account for your views. Not by God who is merciful, but by men who will remove this underhanded Marxist regimes take over of the American Republic.
Mark my words. History does repeat itself.

You call Republicans thieves? Funny it's democrats who attempt to steal any election that is close and who engage in mass election/voter fraud. Also it's democrats who work to get their 85% of felons their right to vote restored while they are still in prison.

That right, GREEDY REPUBLICANS.
GREEDY REPUBLICANS DESTROYED OUR ECONOMY.
I wonder if DINGY Harry will agree to debate Angle? Knowing Dingy he will probably want to have the questions screened first. How about his Town Hall meetings last year ? Did he have any live ones? Reid is just a SLEAZE . IF HE WINS the R epublicans will take back Congress and the Senate. In 2012 we will have a new President . I can even see Hilliary running. When the Pres has a 46% approval rating and Congress has an 11% we have a problem.
Hey Rev. wouldn't "American Communist" be considered an oxymoron or what? I just find it impossible to be AMERICAN and Communist at the same time. I think their is a better word for it, TRAITOR. Am I wrong?
teamster,
How much can the DNC possibly pay you for these schoolyard taunts? Hmm....
chazbean.........
The only dingy one is Angle.
Another do-nothing republican.
Harry Reid will win and President Obama will
be re-elected in 2012.

America is an idea. An experiment in democratic principles, but we are posed as a republic for the people and by the people.
I don't think that the communist are traitors in the sense that most would feed information that could alter the course of the republic for a possible takeover. However, most of them in the party support a revolution through the use of the ballot. That is the way it works. Perhaps the best way to explain this is quotes by a few characters from the past and a video.
"Democracy is a form of government that cannot long survive, for as soon as the people learn that they have a voice in the fiscal policies of the government, they will move to vote for themselves all the money in the treasury, and bankrupt the nation."
-- Karl Marx
"We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism."
-- Nikita Khrushchev
"Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so. They have, with others, the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps. Their maxim is "boni judicis est ampliare jurisdictionem," and their power the more dangerous as they are in office for life, and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
--Norman Thomas, for many years the U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate
"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."
--Joseph Stalin, former dictator of the Soviet Union
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."
--Thomas Jefferson

Nothing. I am NOT a political whore! I am a political atheist.
Hey Teamster, you calling me a REPUBLICAN? YOU WILL ADDRESS ME AS AN AMERICAN OR BY MY NAME, GOT IT?
Would you back your word with your life? I'll bet mine against yours in a second as to who's the one intend on deceiving.
I can't help but loath liars and cheaters, I'm just a fierce competitor by nature. There is no honor in cheating nor lying. Poor sportsmanship comes to mind however I don't consider politics a sport and cannot tolerate people who think they can play games with my life or the lives of others for their own benefit.
Angle may be crazy but she's not a traitor like Harry "Benedict Arnold" Reid.
Rob,
If, or should I say when the revolution/civil war starts, what do you think that these anti-American people will do?
Liberalism is a house of cards built on a foundation that always fails. Those who call themselves a progressive liberal, fail to understand the footnotes of history.

Goodnight all.
I gave you plenty to think over, for those who have a mind to think with.
pmontg53, nothing has changed. You don't have to learn; you don't have to agree; you don't even have to try being what you are not: honest, rational or sane.
Sanctuary City: I think there is a segment of our population that is way too mean on many (if not all) social issues, this being one of them. I believe I AM my brothers keeper. And I think we Americans should be smart enough to figure out a workable solution to immigration, keeping in mind "illegals" have been INVITED to come here illegally for over 50 years. Also, if I were a Mexican, and unless I belonged to one of the eight ruling families, I would probably be dirt poor. I would come here illegally too, especially if I was invited by your U.S. business owners.
English as our National language: I feel Reid voted properly. If a vote came up for us to Nationalize Christianity as our National Religion, or Baseball as our National Sport or Hot Dogs as our National Finger Food I would want Reid to vote "no" on that too.
Should we build a Border Fence between us and Mexico: No, and I refer back to my response on Sanctuary Cities. I feel "The Border" is not the problem, "illegal aliens" are not THE problem, and building astronomically expensive fences to keep people out (and in) diverts our proper focus on those U.S. businesses causing THE problem. I also feel that once we admit to OUR problem, which is too hard for hypocrites to do, we can put together intelligent comprehensive immigration reform. I believe THAT is where we should put our money. In the meantime, we need to solve the problem, not get stupid and mean.
"if, or should I say when the revolution/civil war starts, what do you think that these anti-American people will do?"
Let me just answer with what they themselves often claimed....
"This Country is not worth dying for"
The video makes sense however some in this Country will still play dumb and pretend it's not going to happen.

"keeping in mind "illegals" have been INVITED to come here illegally for over 50 years."
Still trying to shift focus and blame. Nobody has the right to invite someone illegally into this Country. They are breaking the law. Being that my entire family are of Mexican decent they know full well they are breaking the law when they come here. I know many mojados and they know the what happens if they get caught or arrested etc. They also know what will happen if the law is finally enforced.
"I also feel that once we admit to OUR problem, which is too hard for hypocrites to do"
Look who is talking. You don't care about the rule of law or this Country for that matter. With your selective enforcement it's quite clear where you stand.
We have the rule of law and a Constitution. They should be followed. Some fail to do so and some choose to ignore them for their own personal gain. We already have immigration rules, no need for for those who are guilty of not enforcing the law to write new ones.
That's like asking bank robbers to write the the laws regarding their own sentencing when caught. Who are you calling stupid and mean? The law nor I give a danm how you feel. It's not about you.
Celeritas- We disagrees, that is a sure fact. You've made some very untrue statements about me. I brought out some very alarming facts about Senator Reid's voting record, that is what I will focus on. I have not lied about any of it, Check it out for yourself, or anyone else can go the U.S Senators Web site, you seem to be some type of advocate for illegal aliens. If you are your illegal alien brother's keeper; that's your fault. If you believe that Sanctuary cities are okay, then you are either a fool, and illegal, or a child of an illegal alien. I never invited not one damn illegal alien to invade the U.S.A, I don't give a crap about any 8 ruling families in Mexico, Most American do disagree with you, and Harry Reid. Whether you care or not, I am concerned about Citizens in border towns who are losing their lives at the hands of your brothers, and sisters. Simply put Harry Reid need to go, if you can vote, then vote for him, I'm voting for Angle- Peace out
RobLACa......
I'm a proud American, a proud Democrat and a
proud, life-long Teamster.
I have found that after BUSH caused the BUSH
DEPRESSION, many republicans nolonger call
themselves republicans. I don't blame them.
The biggest lie in our life time was told
by republicans.
The lie about Iraq and WMD.
When Bush lied, people died.
This lie cost our country over 2 TRILLION
DOLLARS.
So when republicans talk about debt, they
caused it.
Do you still want to talk about the truth?
You see, pmontg53,...no, you are incapable of sight. You said, "American Citizens are being terrorize, and killed daily by illegal's who go back and forth across our borders at will,..." That is a lie, pmontg53. And unless you are completely insane, you know it is a lie.
There are whack-jobs that come out here spewing crap about Reid single handedly causing Nevada's high unemployment and high foreclosures, yadda yadda yadda... As if one man could have such power. And if one did, that he would even want to do such a stupid thing, is pretty incredible! But they are whack-jobs, your not. You are just someone who has an insane need to express hate on this forum. Given this political climate Reid is a convenient target you can attack while maintaining your anominous fake persona. Your fixation on Reid's opposition to a big, long, and expensive border fence does not prove anything except that Reid does not agree with you, but it is his job to vote on it, not yours.
I remember exchanging three emails with Senator Reid back when immigration reform was a hot button. We did not agree but he took the time to acknowledge my rather hard-line opinion (I am a 9th generation American, including strong Native American bloodlines), and he respectfully expressed his opinions to me. My sense at the time was that Harry Reid was a good and decent man who had a tough job but whichever way he voted half of his constituents were going to be unhappy.
I like debate, pmontg. But you obviously don't, preferring alienation to communication into the irrational and unreasonable.
Oh, and BTW, pmontg, I too am a Veteran.
That part about you not being a whack-job, pmontg...my error.
phony rev says he is a political atheist.
Even that's not true.
If that was true he wouldn't be on this
political site with his teabagger talking
points.
Political deception in the first degree.
Right-wingers can't hide from it.
"The lie about Iraq and WMD.
When Bush lied, people died."
Thanks for stating that so succinctly, teamster.
My wife, who is a little more radical on the liberal side of things than I am does not believe Bush letting Ben Laden get away at Tora Bora was an accident. The implications of that thought are too hard for me to think about.
I'm just angry we don't have that SOB yet.
Celeritas......
It's hard to believe that Bush let Ben Laden
walk away and then went to Iraq, which was no
threat to the United States.
RobLACa,
You completely missed the point I was trying to make, or I made a simple point too complex.
I was trying to say the majority of blame on our immigration problems have been caused by American business who has benefited by this source of cheep labor. They are the only ones who benefit. They are the ones who have been inviting them to come here.
If illegals can't get a job (because business owners don't like going to jail for violating the law) the illegals will go home, and stop coming here.
How can you disagree with that? On what basis is your approach of spending a trillion dollars to build a fence and station hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, spending how many trillions and for how long, is that going to solve the problem? Are you nuts?!
I'm not shifting focus, I'm trying to place it. What exactly are you trying to do? Why are you trying to shift the focus from the cause to the peasants who come here looking for a better life, AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD BY AMERICAN BUSINESS THEY CAN HAVE THAT HERE?
So, you didn't comprehend what I said, then launched into a diatribe about rule of law and the Constitution.
What the hell would you know about either one of them dumbass teabagging jerk?
If do nothing for Nevada Harry Reid gets elected we will be the laughing stock of the country. He's been real successful in taking care of himself and his campaign contributing buddy's. We need someone who cares about Nevada, and is'nt so worried about keeping the Washington crowd happy. Now that its campaign time he's really pulling out all the stops. Spending his 40 mil on TV ads to let us know all the good things he's doing for Nevada. What in the Hell has he been doing the last 2 years besides keeping Barrack and Nancy happy? He's been right on the front line screwing up health care, bankrupting our country, refusing to address the problem with our borders and sits idolly by while the president bad mouths Las Vegas while unemployment raises to 14.3 %. Hopefully after January he will be in the ranks of the unemployed.
Celeritas: Back to the point American Citizens are being terrorized along the border with Mexico. You are the one who is insane, and you tell yourself everyday that what you believe is true. You are truly one Dem-wit. Plan and Simple. I never said that Senator Reid single handedly caused high unemployment, and high foreclosures, my comments were mostly on his record on illegal immigration: This is what I commented on... It seems to make you very angry that I have allowed some of the more uninformed to see Senator Reid's Voting Record on illegal immigration. Why do you say that I hate someone, just because I want to see this country secured, Sir, you are the one who is insane. I also exchange several emails with Senator Reid, his staff gave me the standard bull crap, and just because he took the time to respond don't mean that he is, or was a decent man, he is a Politician.
You talk about hate; Blacks are being forced out of LA that is racist. The news Media keep the Riots out of the news that is happening in La. Mexicans hatred for Blacks. Man the hell with what you say, and think.
I for one will not Vote for open borders Harry Reid. No need to respond as you said. If you respond all you will get is Reid's Record
Immigration: This is what I commented on... It seems to make you very angry that I have allowed some of the more uninformed to see Senator Reid's Voting Record on illegal immigration. Why do you say that I hate someone, just because I want to see this country secured, Sir, you are the one who is insane. I also exchange several emails with Senator Reid, his staff gave me the standard bull crap, and just because he took the time to respond don't mean that he is, or was a decent man, he is a Politician.
I like debate, as far as I'm concerned you're a dem-wit that will never see the light, you say that you were a Vet. Also, but you didn't which side you were on. I had a neighbor that lived across the streets from me, 1 fourth of July, I raised the U.S flag, this guy had just came for the gulf war; he threw a huge Mexican flag over a tree in his yard, his respect for that buzzard flag showed me one thing, he didn't believe in anything at all, just another ancor who didn't feel that he had a Country, that is his Parents fault. I for one will not Vote for open borders Harry Reid. No need to respond as you said.
http://www.uscfile.org/
Don't vote for Senator Reid: he is for NOT securing the United States borders.I for one will not Vote for open borders Harry Reid.

Teamster: get a grip, this is not about Bush, this is about Harry (NOT) doing his job. You Demowits are running out of steam.
After carefully listening to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi's speeches and comments over the past couple of years, it is apparent they both have some serious mental problems.
Well, here's something that could happen. . .Angle cracks under the pressure of the campaign (very stressful having to constantly re-do, re-word, re-phrase, and RETRACT almost everything she says in her interviews)and she withdraws from the campaign. So---does Lowden automatically become the nominee? That would not be good for the Reid campaign! Maybe the Dems should leave Sharron alone for awhile. . .oh wait! It's NOT a possibility that Sharron would withdraw, because GOD told her to run! Ms. Angle seems like a nice lady, but she is WAY out of her league here.
Peaceperson- Go eat fufu with Harry- The builder of the titanic said "not even God can sink this ship". mocking God is very serious, when I bring up God in anything, it's not just to mention Him, Christians have a deep sense of Love, and respect for the Lord, Mrs. Angle have faith to believe that; what's the problem?- Harry Reid
Not surprised that teamster the phony American could reply when challenged. Typical democrat coward. And then Celeritas has a reach around with teamster and then let us know what a pendejo culero he or she is.
They both exhibit signs of having been recently molested with democrat propaganda, hate speak and lies. Some day they will grow up.
I have the following advice for Reid: If you can't manage to be grateful for all the things we've done for you, at least have a little dignity, don't whine, and don't expect to be treated like a fragile doll just because you have a theatrically hypersensitive soul and delusions of entitlement.
We ought to replace today's chaos and lack of vision with order and a supreme sense of purpose. That'll make Reid think once--I would have said "twice" but I don't see any indication that he has previously given any thought to the matter--before trying to dress up his profit motive in the cloak of selfless altruism. He claims that the cure for Nevada is green job creation at $100,000 a pop. I suspect that the absurdities within that claim speak for themselves although I should add that Reid's metanarratives are based on a technique I'm sure you've heard of. It's called "lying".
phony rev......
The biggest liars on the face of this earth are
republicans. These low-life vermon destroyed
our economy with their utter GREED.
They don't care about their fellow man.
If Jesus were here today, He would back the

Jesus had a disdain for the rich.
Jesus said that we should help the sick and
feed the poor.
Greedy republicans don't care about the sick
or the poor, that's why these scum-bags voted

greedy republicans don't.

Teamster,

phony rev......
You're a lying republican.
Celeritas.
It seems you are nothing more than an illegal immigrant apologist. As such I find it VERY difficult to believe you are a veteran.
I'm not a fan of Angle in any way, but the Reids are masters at taking comments out of context and exploiting them. They are the dirtiest politicians in Nevada history bar none. And now, it appears as though Titus is hot on their trail, to try and link Heck to Angle shows they will stop at absolutely nothing and have zero ethics, morals or values. Anything to get elected to start making the REAL money. . .
We can't stop Reid overnight. It takes time, patience and experience to renew those institutions of civil society--like families, schools, churches, and civic groups--that develop a rational-empirical base for dialogue.
If Reid continues to promote his muddleheaded fetishism, the result will be a tone-deafness, a cluelessness, as to the impotant matters that are at the center of our experience and for vast segments of our population.
Harry is not a responsible citizen.
Responsible citizens guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought.
What you can do now is talk to everyone you. Use every medium available to you. Use the Internet. Use your telephone. Use radio and newspapers. And whatever you do, never be afraid to speak out against the evil that is Sen. Harry Reid.
I don't understand why anyone would even respond to teamsters posts, there not worth reading. The big unions, United Auto Workers, Teamsters and others are partially responsible for our economic condition. America has priced it self right out of its competive edge.
Thats why where losing big industry in this country and will keep seeing unemployment rise. Unions had their day and started out with great intentions, but just like politics, greed and corruption has ruined the unions. Anybody ever figure out what happened to Jimmy Hoffa. One thing we know for sure Harry loves the unions.
Sheiselb,
Did you hear what Senator Reid recently said about fanaticism? Never before in Nevada's history has a fatuous Marxist cleverly hidden in plain sight. Reid intends to separate people from their roots and cut their bonds to their natural communities. It is a work in process.
After hours of sifting through his lousy, sanctimonious writings I finally realized that I know more about neocolonialism than most people. You might even say that I'm an expert on the subject. I can therefore state with confidence that Reid wants to be the one who determines what information we have access to. Yet he is also a big proponent of a particularly superficial form of paternalism. Do you see something wrong with that picture?
As I've said in the past, Reid's hysteria-producing ballyhoos are sufficient to give pause to the less thoughtful among us. "Oh, oh," such people think. "We'd better help Sen. Reid outrage the very sensibilities of those who value freedom and fairness--just in case." I must ask that his trained seals point out that the emperor has no clothes on. I know they'll never do that so here's an alternate proposal: They should, at the very least, back off and quit trying to palm off our present situation as the compelling ground for Harry's re-election.
Harry Reid will have an easy win in November.
Greedy,anti-union republicans will have their
clocks cleaned in November.
Anti-union republicans are responsible for the
destruction of the middle class in our country.
The republican party has proven to be pro-
Communist by sending all of our good paying
jobs to COMMUNIST CHINA.
Republicans use slave labor in COMMUNIST CHINA
FOR THEIR OWN GREED.
Republicans don't care about ANY WORKER in
China or the U.S.
Their motto is GREED.
This is why Democrats back labor unions in the
U.S.
Labor unions protect workers from GREEDY
REPUBLICANS.
The Teamsters Union is a friend to labor.
LIVE BETTER, WORK UNION.
VOTE FOR HARRY REID.
Reverend
I an a native Nevadan as is everyone in my family back to my great-grandmother who was born in 1875. I live in rural Nv I don't know a single person who would support Harry Reid in Lincoln county. But he wouldn"t really care, because there probably isn't more than 2000 registered voters in the county. As far as seperating me or most the people I know from our roots or cutting the bonds from our communities, I don't see that happening out here without a major uprising. When you enter the heart of Lincoln County there are two signs, the first put up by some Harry Reid supporter says, Welcome to Reid Country, The second sign less than a 100 feet down the road says, Leaving Harry Reid Country sorry for the trouble. He will never win the Hearts of the voters out here no matter how many lies he tells. I do worry about the way voters see things in Clark County. Hopefully people will see thru him as the election goes on.
Following the November elections, there is a great threat that the Democratic majority could use a Lame Duck Session to pass legislation that could significantly expand government programs and burden consumers with more taxes and regulations. It is strongly believed that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are delaying the vote on controversial pieces of legislation until after Election Day. Polls show that the majority of Americans are opposed to much of the legislation being pushed by the Democratic leadership, including "stimulus" packages, cap and trade, card check and numerous other tax hikes. Attempts to use a Lame Duck Session to rush through costly new legislation would be yet another tactic used by Democratic leadership to pass radical bills that infringe on individual liberty. GET DIRTY HARRY OUT OF CONGRESS
I have to laugh when I hear average people from
small towns backing greedy republicans.
Harry Reid came from a small town and worked his
way up to the Majority Leader of the Senate.
As a Nevadan, I couldn't be more proud of Harry.
To anyone living in a small town in Nevada, I
can tell you that republicans are not working
for you.
Republicans support the rich and couldn't care
less about the average or low income worker.
Democrats care about their fellow man.
Harry Reid is doing a great job.
The republican liars are out here with their
teabagger scare tactics.
These desperate republicans lie through their
teeth,everyday.
Americans did not forget who ruined our economy.
GREEDY REPUBLICAN LIARS RUINED IT.
They will get their clock cleaned in November.
SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY, VOTE DEMOCRATIC.
Teamster you want to help save social security: I kind of agree with Sharron Angle on that issue, you should probably look into what she really meant instead of what Harry Reid Spin doctors said for her. In any case you said "SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY, VOTE DEMOCRATIC." Senator Harry Reid Voted YES on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security. (May 2006) You tell me how can a U.S Senator vote yes to allow ILLEGAL ALIENS the RIGHT to participate in the Social Security of the United States of America. And that is no Republican lie, you and anyone elso can look that up under Senator Reid's voting record on Immigration. You Democrats who are considering voting for Harry Reid, think about that. What is he thinking? Senister Reid was thinking about his next voting bloc. the Hispanic voting bloc.
pmontg53.....
Show us the proof that illegals are
participating in Social Security.
LIVE BETTER,WORK UNION.
SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY,
VOTE HARRY REID.
Teamster: Prove it for yourself, go to Senator Reid's Voting Record; it's there. Google his voting record on immigration.
Teamster: watch an illegal alien movie
http://www.uscfile.org
pmontg53........
Illegal's do not and can not collect
Social Security. PERIOD.
Teamster{ did you see that Senator Reid voted Yes on a senate vote to allow Illegal Aliens, it did not say aliens, or, undocumented workers, Our Senator; who by the way is my Senator also until November; our Senator Harry Reid of Nevada Voted Yes- to allow people living here in this country illegally acess to social security benefits; that in and of it self is enough for me not to even consider voting for him; that sir is what I call corruption, that is also what the word of God considers Corruption. Nothing honest about that.
jke1717: "It seems you are nothing more than an illegal immigrant apologist. As such I find it VERY difficult to believe you are a veteran."
You are nothing. Period.
pmontg
3rd time pmontg, try to concentrate, try to focus. You said, and I quote:
"American Citizens are being terrorize, and killed daily by illegal's who go back and forth across our borders at will,..."
That is a LIE. Do you understand what I just said? It means I am calling you a liar, pmontg53, for the 3rd time.
You keep ignoring it.
The rest of your crap is just that, crap.
You are a cyber bully, pmontg. Only online can little cowardly people like you get away with your constant up-swallows of obnoxious bile. That's why your out here 24/7. Your can't get away with it in real life. They turn their back on you and walk away. But they can't do that out here, can they pmontg? Maybe its time for a face change. Maybe you could come back as a Mexican immigrant who is totally against Reid and illegal immigration...Oh, wait no, that one is taken already. Well, you'll think of something, pmontg, and it will be vial, for sure.
pmontg: "...that is also what the word of God considers Corruption."
So, now God hates illegal immigrants too.
LMAO!!

Arizona Rancher Murdered by illegal aliens

Illegal Aliens invade the United States
People who claim that illegal aliens are no threat to the United States are really people who are knowingly, are unknowingly enemies of the Citizens of the United States, and a quiet war have been ongoing for years to take control of this Country, the evidence speaks for itself.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opzxNvMsQ...
pmontg, "American Citizens are being terrorize, and killed daily by illegal's who go back and forth across our borders at will,..."
You said: "Arizona Rancher Murdered by illegal aliens"
4th time pmontg... "daily" 4th TIME!
Followed up with: "enemies of...United States...war...for years...evidence."
I never said illegal immigration isn't a problem. I said solve it at its source (businesses that hire them). You, on the other hand take A event, and extrapolate it into all out war. And your justification for that is whether someone votes for Reid or NOT. Are you F#$%ing joking?!!
No, your not joking. Your sh*T isn't political opinion its just racist sh*t, pmontg.
So how many "convert" votes have you brought over to your side who are not already racist or stupid? Zero. You are not only completely full of crap, you are completely ineffective as a persuader well.
...as well...
BTW,
Using Glenn Best as a source for facts or truth to try to prove a point is at best counterproductive, and at worse, well...nuts, just like Beck himself, who, in addition to being nuts, is a liar.
Face the facts, Mr. Ralston..
Reid IS despised for a lot of legitimate reasons and Angle is nowhere near as far from the mainstream as some try to portray her.
She distrusts the federal government and thinks Democrats want to make the government our new God.
Sounds pretty mainstream to me..or haven't you paid any attention to the reaction of voters to all the increased government spending and regulation lately?
Reid can't force anyone to like him..so he is trying his best..with his millions of dollars of tv ads... to trash Angle.
Here's news for you.. it won't work.
People don't like Reid and know he is a liar..so whatever dirt he throws at Angle is coming from an untrustworthy source.
Reid is toast in November.
Sinister Reid is addicted to power, and politics, this game seem to be an ego trip, Senator Reid; time to go,
livebrokeordi........
If you believe a snake-oil salesman, like
Sharron Angle, you're an idiot.
Teamster- I agree, that's exactly what Senator Reid is selling, I don't think the public is buying,
Reid introduced '93 bill to deny citizenship to children of illegal immigrants- Senator Reid who are you really, you change like the weather, Sick and tired of Harry Reid, vote for Sharron Angle.
Reid vs. Angle: Intended Consequences: As a former Democrat and a former Republican, this New York Independent represents a large group of frustrated American voters who have learned that the most effective way we can influence the 'business-as-usual' fix in Washington, DC is to vote early and often with our feet and our pocketbooks. Unfortunately for the residents of Las Vegas and Nevada, our grass-roots travel boycott to Nevada will remain in effect as long as the dictatorial Harry Reid remains in the US Senate.
Reid forgot that we are a representative democracy and that he represents the people of Nevada. Anger is not haltered about the man you hired to represent you and he abandons the good of the state?
I will also Change parties next year to independent, I've had enough of the Democrats mostly, the Republicans are beginning to look the same, Sharron Angle's got my vote over Harry Reid, an Sandoval over Rory Reid. "God bless America." We really need it, I pray for all of our Leaders in all Political Parties, that they will do what is right.
Reid is trying to play one giant game of gotcha with Angle(focusing on distortions of her positions and lying about her statements---and naturally of course in the process ignoring his own pathetic record). Reid's voting record is atrocious (voted for TARP, voted for ObamaCare, voted for the failed deficit busing stimulus, voted against Medicare Part D, voted for the AIG bonuses in the "stimulus" bill, voted for the "financial reform" bill that doesn't address Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the slightest, voted to cut Medicare Advantage for seniors, voted to craft the corrupt "cornhusker kickback" for Ben Nelson and the "Louisiana Purchase" for Mary Landrieu, and has voted for all sorts of stupid reckless spending)
Ralston, the peoples hatred of Reid is only surpassed by your previous hatred of Gibbons.
The voters' blinding hatred of Harry Reid- Jon Ralston the title is misleading. Senator Reid is not victim here, he has victimized the American people with his immigration policy, I call him open Borders Harry. I don't hate Senator Reid, I just hate what is doing; not only to Nevada, but to the U.S.A
Quite frankly the electorate of Nevada should be taking IQ tests before being allowed to vote. They voted for Gibbons, they voted for Ensign and now they're going to put this full blown whack job into office. To me, love or hate Reid makes no difference. He's the senate majority leader. We're a large state with just a few electoral votes. Without the senate majority seat we're going to be a lot worse off than we are already are because we're nothing to the rest of the country. They're already trying to stuff nuclear waste down our throats because that's how we're looked at, a wasteland. If we put the nut job in office, we'll be a larger laugh than we already are. She'll be the same as not even being represented in Congress because everyone is going to treat her like a pyriah. Put your thinking caps on Nevada and put your emotions aside before you look any dumber than you already do.
sos89123: With the Senate majority leader already in office we're in pretty bad shape. Senator Reid is a sellout. The name calling is getting old... "Nut job". Why do you as sum that anyone who supports Sharron Angle's is doing it out of some kind of emotional response, There is no emotion in my decision, just common sense, " you should try on that thinking cap yourself, stop listening to sound bite about what you THINK Sharron Angle may have said, Ralston was so reckless on this interview on face to fact, that before she could even answer his questions, he would move on to another, this was throughout his entire interview. The news here in Las Vegas is bias, and want to see Senister Reid back, Most of us know by know that senator Reid wants what is best for himself, and that is greed, and power, Sharron Angle have one very powerful weapon, HONESTY, and she really cares for this Country, and Nevada.
Mr Ralston, this blinding hatred your talking about is really an awakening of the voters in this state. They are not as blind as Harry thinks. It has finely become apparent that Harry has not done a very good job representing our state. He has come up in the polls, but won't it be interesting to see how the "Nut Job" does against him.
