Either Harry Reid or Sharron Angle is dead, one in an occasional series:
So as Angle tries to phase out memories of her wanting to privatize Social Security and Reid attempts to phase out the heretical concept of Hispanic Republicans, the five-month race (no pit stops allowed) to November continues in the “what I meant to say” contest for the U.S. Senate.
Just when you thought, with Bartergate and Scientology and Negro dialects, that we had seen it all in this race, look what gifts were bestowed recently: Both candidates revising history (Angle on Social Security, Reid on “the war is lost”), Marco Rubio, of all people, putting in his two cents; Dick Morris curling toes with a ‘Do you hate Harry Reid like I hate Harry Reid” fundraising pitch for Angle; and Tea Party of Nevada hopeful Jon Scott Ashjian reappearing as the unwanted dinner guest (but is he a schmuck or a factor?).
Look upon these works, ye national media types, and be envious.
The state of this ever-in-flux race is that the well-oiled Reid/Democratic Party/Patriot Majority machine continues to whir along, but the creaking Angle vehicle finally has had an application of the political equivalent of WD-40. The ads are better and more focused, the communications team is in place and getting better, and the spend-it-all-now-to-get-more-later approach is the only one they have (with hopes the National Republican Senatorial Committee and Karl Rove’s American Crossroads will play cavalry come September/October).
The flaps this week over Social Security and Hispanics were emblematic of these campaigns.
Angle’s new ad, in which she talks about how she wants to save the program on its 75th anniversary and accuses Reid of raiding the trust fund, is quite well done. It’s also totally disingenuous.
Before June 8, The Primary Angle talked about phasing out the program and privatizing it, insisting when pressed that it could not be fixed. The General Angle is trying to stop the chattering of elder teeth by reassuring them no one will lose benefits and that she is the agent of their salvation. Not credible, but is it possible people will buy the ad? Need I answer?
Reid’s “Hispanics would be fools to be Republicans” comment was his typical glib, poorly phrased broadside, made worse by coming one day after his campaign foamed at the mouth about Angle snubbing Latino media. The Reid folks actually didn’t want Angle to get too much credit for actually holding a press availability, so they seized on the no-Hispanics-were-there, ahem, angle and got some local and national bites. And then the senator undermined it all with his clumsy phrasing, which the campaign then reinforced with a lame fix-it clarification, bringing the likes of Rubio and others to lacerate Reid for his Democrats-only apostasy.
(Hard not to savor the delicious irony, too: Brian Sandoval, a Hispanic Republican who Reid happily helped get appointed to the federal bench because he feared his future ambitions, is well ahead of the senator’s son — just call him Rory — in the governor’s race. I am sure Rory wishes Sandoval weren’t a Hispanic Republican right about now.)
The bottom line: Both campaigns know they have a problem — i.e., Angle and Reid still possess vocal chords. They can only hope that what The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza aptly described as “unwanted distractions” don’t become campaign-defining moments. Hispanics are no more likely to flock to Angle, who is an anchor-baby-hating-Arizona-law-loving candidate, because of Reid’s gaffe. But does his comment reinforce the perception of a guy who is simply grown old, out of touch and careless in D.C. after nearly three decades? Maybe.
I was amused to read National Review Online’s Jim Geraghty praise the new Angle strategy this week and correctly distill the Reid plan: “Define Angle early, destroy her reputation in an onslaught of negative ads, and eke out a victory in a low-turnout matchup.” Yes, although he missed the attempt to push voters into “none of these candidates” or to Ashjian, who may yet be kicked off the ballot, but now claims he is ready to wage a competitive campaign, mostly on the Internet.
But Geraghty also wrote that Reid “finds himself with only one remaining advantage: money.”
Not exactly.
Reid also will benefit from a Democratic Party infrastructure and get-out-the-vote effort erected in 2007 that he will need to make up for a palpable, measurable enthusiasm gap. Meanwhile, the state GOP and Team Angle? They have no ground game and are trying to create one from scratch.
If Reid wins, it is this advantage that will be decisive; if he loses, it will mean people refused to be dragged out of their homes to vote for him.
Never "misunderestimate" the power of the grassroots! We are a force to be reckoned with.
Hispanics will vote for Harry Reid in massive numbers . his remark rings true in the barrio . what's her name cannot fix her obvious hate for the mexican people . they feel her racism . please someone get some comments from her on the dream act and CIR .
Reids continual ranting with his "pathway to citizenship" agenda worked in 2004 because most of our citizens had work and we figured it would never affect us.
Now citizens are continually shocked as Harry rants about making illegals citizens because of the number of unemployed citzens we have in our state and instead of spending his time helping we the people he continues to pander for votes to legalize federal criminals.
Our citizens are only asking to be helped by the powers we voted in, not to be constantly shoved to the back of the line.
At the end of November Harry will resemble a piece of toast.
I really don't see what the big deal is about Senator Reid's comment. Other than the fact that the Sharron Angle camp is ravenously hungry for anything to use against him.
Perhaps it was poorly worded, but I get what Senator Reid said.
And it's simply this: All of the rhetoric out there that paints Hispanics as sub-human, dehumanizes them, demonizes them, using offensive terms like "anchor babies" and declaring illegal immigrants as "invaders" and "criminals," wanting to change the 14th Amendment to target them, tent cities in the blazing heat of the desert await them if caught coming over the border, total and complete Mexican race baiting, blatant xenophobia coupled with wanting everyone paranoid to be even around and/or associating with Mexicans....these are all techniques used by....Republicans only.
And it's a technique the Republicans have been using not only against Mexicans, but to race bait that blacks are out for whites, the Islamics are all trying to take over the country, and we must go to war with Iran, north Korea and any other country that looks at us funny.
These knuckleheads get a free ride for their over the top statements that have no basis in truth. It's that Republican Party tried and true method learned of making sure the American people are mad at someone else, get their attention pointed outwards...and not at failed policies and problems within the U.S., failed policies which the Republicans all love to fall back on.
But when a Senator reiterates out the truth of the matter that the Republicans are following, I guess he is attacked for pointing out the obvious.
And all this somehow legitimizes the Nevada Talibunny, Sharron Angle? The Republican Party candidate was nominated because crazy is cool. The blind hatred of everything and anything Senator Reid took over so much...they can't even field a candidate that's worth a crap.
It's not Senator Reid's fault for any of this nonsense that Sharron Angle contends she is being attacked. The problem lies with her mouth. She says something stupid. The press report it. Then she complains that Senator Reid is attacking her. From everything I see, she is self immolating, but is trying to put a matchbook in Senator Reid's hand, stands back and the screams, "LOOK! There's the proof! Look at the matches in his hands! And he even tried to spit on me!"
It's incredibly goofy.
Senator Reid will trounce her in November.
Colin there are two sides to every story, Reid touts a pathway to citizenship to all the federal law breaking illegal immigrants not only in our state but in our country.
Tell me please since we have the power to vote a candidate in or out of office, how is making 20 million illegals citizens of our country going to help the 20 million citizens out of unemployment and back to work?
You people think that since a politician has multi years in government they are the better candidate? Those multi years can also bring the worst out of an incumbant. Reid could care about the future of our citizens but is sure showing us that he has plans for the illegals, and it's not to deport them either.
fremmasmind says: "You people think that since a politician has multi years in government they are the better candidate?"
No, that don't qualify them. Look at President Bush. He served eight years and he will still go down in history as the most incompetent President in American history.
How you worded that question basically answers the question why nothing will get done regarding illegal immigration. "You people..." is how you started that question. In other words, the ball is in your court...and the Republican Party is unwilling to work with "you people."
We both know that is the case.
The Republicans say they want illegal immigration brought up to have something done about, but with this current political climate of the RepubliCANNOTs, it's not going to even get off the ground.
Republicans only want to deflect, obstruct, whine, gripe, complain, point fingers, anything they can to throw a monkey wrench in the gears of Government.
So, President Obama's administration, even though they have done more for border security and illegal immigration, will still get the blame for a policy that needs to be re-vamped.
When the Republican Party learns to work, govern and lead, then and only then can we get something done. But right now, that is not their intention. Their sole goal is party politics. They have made sure there is no mistake about what they want. They want only the complete and utter destruction of President Obama and his administration. And if the U.S. goes to hell in a handbasket and reverts to third world status, then so be it. The want power. They want money. They want to be in charge. They want to blatantly exhibit their greed, uncaringness for people and their pandering to the very rich and to the corporations. If the middle class falls apart and the poor get poorer, they could care less. The just WANT to be in power.
That is the truth of the matter.
And this President is smart. He has reached out to them constantly. But after getting rejected, he is now resorting to shoving them to the side. If you aren't helping America, then get the hell out of the way, I got stuff to do here, can't be bothered with your idiotic childishness.
Colin were you referring to the democrats or the republicans or both?
The democrats have been continually wanting to pay for certain bills by adding the cost of said bills to our debt.
While the repulicans want to pay for the same bills why the stimulus money.
Who being fiscally responsible?
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
We were just talking about illegal immigration reform, and now you just twisted it around that we can't do anything about it because it's not paid for.
Is it about immigration? No. It's about money and it must pay for itself.
If we start talking about fiscal responsibility, the conversation will switch to immigration and nothing gets done.
It goes on and on and on and on. It never ends.
The Republican Party just wants to screw things up.
Period.
They want power. They don't want to help. They don't want to govern. They don't want to provide any leadership.
They'll draft a bill to make it look like they are doing something, but then they'll vote against it later.
So, back to the original point. Nothing will get done about immigration on the national level. Because one party does things. The other doesn't.
I guess the only thing to do is wait til after November. After the Republicans get spanked badly, then I guess we can concentrate on getting things done.
ANCHOR BABIES -REID 1993..
Senator Reid wrote this in 1993. What a hypocrite he is when he needs the "hispanic vote" but this is a good amendment..Maybe Angle will get it passed
TITLE X--CITIZENSHIP 4 SEC. 1001. BASIS OF CITIZENSHIP CLARIFIED. In the exercise of its powers under section of the Fourteenth Article of Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the Congress has determined and hereby declares that any person born after the date of enactment of this title to a mother who is neither a citizen of the United States nor admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident, and which person is a national or citizen of another country of which either of his or her natural parents is a national or citizen, or is entitled upon application to become a national or citizen of such country, shall be considered as born subject to the jurisdiction of that foreign country and not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States within the meaning of section 1 of such Article and shall therefore not be a citizen of the United States or of any State solely by reason of physical presence within the United States at the moment of birth.
I say, build a wall or fence and shoot anyone crossing our border until they learn to respect the USA laws. Mexicans shouldn't and do not have anymore right to be here than Osama Bin Laden. No more free anything. If you want to come here, get in line like people from other countrys. Could you imagine if 20,000,000 Arabs, Russians, or Chineese just came over. All Obama and the left are trying to do is bring in as many votes, not people as quickly as possible. They (the left) will ruin this country if we, the people don't stop them. Yes it sounds radical, but sooner than later something very terrible is going to happen.
Something very terrible is going to happen?
How about an Israeli who is so violent and crazy that he is banished from Israel and sent to the US...5 dead, 15 wounded
How about the Mexican train rider..who killed old white women along the route?
How about the illegals who put those black college students up against the wall and shot them, execution style
How about the two men who came over the Canadian border and terrorized Northern Virginia, shooting Federal workers from a blind in the trunk of the car?
How about that Rancher Krentz who was killed trying to help an illegal
How about the illegal who worked in the Denver Mayors restaurant who shot and killed two police officers.
And the list goes on
And on
And on
The article is meaningless. Let's get to the real issue at hand which is that HARRY REID is INCOMPETENT and must be FIRED - Preferably Right Now. REID is a total JOKE !!!
See? I rest my case.
You talk about one thing, the Republican leaning people are always, ALWAYS, in the rabid chihuahua attack dog mode. They latch onto your pants leg and won't let go.
You focus on one thing, they attack on something else.
They're not interested in fixing anything.
They want it screwed up.
To get back in power.
Best thing to do?
Ignore them.
Drives them nuts.
Guaranteed.
If Harry Reid would pass his 1993 immigration bill..I would vote for him...BUT right now I would crawl across burning coals and vote for Lowden's chicken to be rid of him..
Harry, in 2006, confessed that he was henpecked by his own..little chicky" into being a spineless toad!
Go here for the Harry Reid Immigration Bill 1993
http://24ahead.com/blog/archives/004901....
Colin you are quite persuasive, I respect and agree with your point of view. I shamefully admit I was a "laise fare" Republican before 9-11 but started paying attention after Iraq and what I discovered poisoned me against the "Repugnants" forever. Republicans are for "Rich Old White People" only. Harry has it right. How can any middle class white person or Black or Hispanic who has any sense vote Republican. Only Fools I guess, and it seems we have plenty of those in this state. I have lived here for 53 years and I hope most of these rightwingnuts are from out of state and not fellow Nevadans.
"I say, build a wall or fence and shoot anyone crossing our border until they learn to respect the USA laws."
How about speeders, Johnnie? Should we shoot people who go more than, say, ten miles an hour over the speed limit? Maybe mount machine guns on the patrol cars, to more quickly remove those evil scoff-laws from the gene pool? And if we're simply going to eliminate due process altogether, why not mass executions for all those in prisons and jails, followed closely by summary executions of those found at the scene of a crime? Like that? And then there's the tax cheats ...
halfacre- Plain and simple; you're wrong. I'm a Black Republican, who will vote for a Democrat; if that person vote is in agreement with what I am in favor of as an issue. Senator Reid got it wrong, What is he promoting? a strange form of Racism against his own race? you go on to say something just as bad. "How can any middle class white person or Black or Hispanic who has any sense vote Republican"? I can only speak for myself, Being a Republican, or a member of a political party is only part of what I am, I am a Christian first, and American, and as for my race, I am a Black American Christian, First I have to answer to God, God's word tell us not to Kill, President Obama don't seem to have a problem with legalized abortion, no way in hell I could vote for anyone who would not protect an innocent Child, I changed from a Democrat to Republican when Bill Clinton Signed that partial-birth abortion bill. Then the issue of so-call gay rights, the Democrat party is okay with that agenda, there again I have a serious problem with a man having sex with another man, or women with women, Romans chapter 1 tell us about that.This type of insanity breaks down family value, and undermind our creators intention for Mankink. As a Black Republican I disagree with Obama, Reid, and the Democratic Party. Personally I can't see how a Christian can be a Democrat, most democrat politicians are for abortion, and
Gay relationships, God is against both, and so am I.
ColinFromLasVegas:Regarding your first post on this topic, you said "I really don't see what the big deal is about Senator Reid's comment". Other than the fact that the Sharron Angle camp is ravenously hungry for anything to use against him". First of all what Senator Reid said was totally mad, who gives him the right to suggest that an American Citizen is a fool for voting, or not voting for a particular party, that was a very foolish and demoralizing statement to all Americans, from all Parties, and Sharron Angle camp as you put it is not feeding on this, Rolston will not really comment on this because it might hurt poor old Harry. I want even get into those remarks you made about the Republican Party using rhetoric about Hispanics as sub-human.
As a Black American I for one am sick and tired of seeing first the abortion agenda, coming in on the back of the civil right movement, then the homosexual agenda, it also found its way in, directly on the back of the Civil rights movement, now you have the illegal immigration agenda making its way through; there again on the back of the Civil rights movement, decade after decade I have seen some very destructive patterns making its way through the veins of U.S History, and people like you are nothing but door keepers for what is destroying the united states, this corruption all have came in through what our ancestors fought, and died for. The 14th amendment was not illegal aliens, but for former Slaves, and their ancestors to be recognized as Citizens of this country, what a freaking insult, that you would even suggest that it was ever for illegal aliens, and their Children. Illegal Aliens are breaking our laws, and for American citizens to say it you make it seem as though we are the criminals who speak out against this invasion, what is wrong with you; I forgot; Senator Reid...
Jon....Reid was correct in his comment.
I would add that all average workers and low
income workers of ANY RACE, would be fools to
be republicans.
Only Democrats and labor unions help average
workers.
Harry Reid is correct.
He is also blunt and tough, that's why
republicans are scared to death of Harry.
GIVE EM HELL, HARRY.
Teamster: I have told you, I use to be very pro union, I was a shop Stewart for the culinary 226, walked the Horseshoe picket line, also Frontier, for the 7 years, the Culinary have turned its back on American Citizens, about 1 year ago I paid my dues up, but had been out of Union work for about 10 years, most of the business agents are Hispanic, they are probably legal, but I was sent to the Flamingo for a 3 day assignment, we had to sign in on a table in the basement, about 9 employees all Hispanic had the same social security number, because we had to sign in and put down our social, all the employees out of about 12 were Hispanic, not even the supervisor spoke English, I was harassed from day one, they thought that I was Permanent, and tried to make me quit, Look I know firsthand how things are changing, thank to Senator Reid, you can brag about what the union is doing for America, in some parts that might be true, I am still very pro union, however what I see now is Major corruption- I'm voting for Angle- I would be Crazy to vote for Flipper Reid. Any White, or Black American Voting for Senator Reid is stoned out of their minds, look how he is pandering to the Hispanic vote, if you are Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Pilipino, we all know Reid's got to go" There are a lot of Hispanics who can see how he is trying to use them, I have nothing against anyone, Hispanic or not, but Illegal immigration is Wrong, if you are from Africa, and were my blood relative, I would tell you the same thing, go back to Africa, China, England. Get in line, do it the right way, not Senator Reid's way
Sorry pmontg53, if you think Angle is going
to save you, you're dumb as a bag of rocks.
NO AVERAGE OR POOR PERSON SHOULD EVER VOTE
REPUBLICAN.
Who do you think sent all of our jobs to
COMMUNIST CHINA?
pmontg53 i agree with you, colin-os-co-py talks as if he's riding a horse for the first time. Wait till he falls off.
My Hispanic neighbor spits on the ground whenever we have a conversation and the Republican Party or Sharron Angle comes up. The Republican Party in the southwestern states and California have had a field day bashing "Mexicans" ever since the days of Pete Wilson in California. And this latest immigrant bashing in Arizona just adds to that 20 year tirade. For Reid to state that reality is not a gaffe, it's the truth.
If comments are deleted for profanity, why can't we eliminate letters suggesting that we kill everyone crossing the border? Suggesting mass murder -- how low can you go?
Another meaningless piece of information. The FACTS - Harry Reid MUST BE FIRED as he is totally INCOMPETENT. Look at the Numbers.
When Harry Reid became US Senator, unemployment in Nevada was at 4.4%. Now it's 14.%. Harry Reid is right when he says he can do more for Nevada than anyone. More incompetence than anyone is about it. FIRE HIM TODAY !!!
WoodHead, and Fremneedmind, If you Hispanic neighbor spit on the ground; who really give a crap, teamster- Christ is my savior, not Sharron Angle, Let's get Flipper Reid out of office/
President W Bush tried to do something about illegal immigration along with John McCain and Edward Kennedy. The right wingnuts screamed amnesty so loud that nothing got done. Nothing will get done, e v e r, because the only solution for the far right is loading all illegals in Tom Tancredo's van and taking them back over the border. Short of that, there is a nutcase running for the state legislature in Florida who wants to put Hispanics in internment camps. Yellow Star, anyone?
One of the sources the boot licking wingnuts go to for sources is Fox Fraudcasting. "The trick's of Fox's trade" is"
1. Rhetorical questions
2. Creating reality be repeated slogans
3. Conclusory lies delivered with certainty
4. Highlight out of context aberrations and ignore truthful data
5. McCarthyism and causation
When in doubt, race bait.

Sharron Angle lie # Whenever she opens her mouth:
Unemployment in Nevada in 2006 was 4.4%. If things were all that wonderful, what the hell did Jimbo Gibbons and his sidekick, Brian Krolicki, do to wreck the good times? Is Dean Heller, John Ensign, Shelley Berkeley, Dina Titus, and former rep, Jon Porter, not responsible for our state, too? Fact is that criminal mortgage companies were able to lay down roots and strangle vunerable citizens in Nevada. The "Government is the problem" crowd who screams hands off of my life was fertile ground for these parasites. Don't read the fine print, idiots? Enjoy drowning while you gurgle that Obama is a socialist.
[[ELIMINATE ALL DEMOCRATS IN NOVEMBER !!!]]
+++++
Yeah!!! Elect and return people to office that just cannot stand the average Nevadan. Really, it's the masochist in me that loves to be called a spoiled hobo.
Dear poor tired teabaggers-I hope you have enjoyed your moment in the sun; frolicking around in you're revolutionary hats and carrying muskets and signs of Obama, and his family in Nazi uniforms. Many of you actually made it on TV bless your hearts. BUT YOUR 15 MINUTES ARE UP! By the time November gets here Angle will be ready to concede BEFORE the election. Rand Paul too. Americans do have short "sound bite" attention spans-but don't sell us to short-OUR MEMORIES AREN'T SHORT ENOUGH TO FORGET WHAT BUSH AND THE RIGHT-WING NEOCONS DID TO THIS COUNTRY. If you think we have forgotten that Obama inherited a job loss rate of 750,000 a month, you are mistaken; if you think we have forgotten Bush going to war by borrowing money from China so he could cut taxes for his "base" you are mistaken, if you think America has forgotten how insurance companies routinely dropped peoples health-coverage to keep a good bottom-line you are mistaken. By the time the election gets here and Veterans see what the Democrats have done for them, when seniors realize what the teaparty would do to SocSec. When HALF our population thinks about "making lemonade from lemons" with a rapist's child? when people come to realize that they can now breath a sign of relief not worrying about losing EVERYTHING if they get sick? I think this election is going to be a "slam dunk"(Bush's WMD war phrase,Oh ya we remember that too!). We remember what the GOP has done to our schools, we remember how the GOP wanted to keep our health-care on status quo, we remember how the GOP gave away the keys to big business, including the Supreme Court giving corporations the rights of a citizen so they can further corrupt our elections. We have SEEN the results of how they run government. AND WE REMEMBER!
renostarman- I read as far as Obama and his family in Nazi uniforms, starman, I support any group that have the courage to take a stand against a president who looks the other way on the abortion and killing of innocent human babies, you can't associate the tea party as a whole to people who are racist. I would never post a picture of Obama, and his family in Nazi uniforms, I respect President Obama, but I disagree with the way that he is running this country. Nothing wrong with the Tea-Party,it's the Democratic party that America is afraid of.
This is below Obama's pay grade, atleast Sharron Angle is against this type of insanity.
http://www.100abortionpictures.com/Abort...
Harry KERRY Amnesty Reid was against it before he was for it.
Even the liberal site "Politico says Reid is in the pocket of K street lobbiests and special interests. Isn't it time for REAL change in our state and nation"? Vote for Sharron Angle to bring the voice of the people to Washington instead of the corrupt Democrat K street beltway insiders.
Hey Harry, let's hear where you stand on the mosque being built near ground zero!!!
renostarman........GREAT POST.
You are 100% correct, we will NEVER forget the
HUGE DAMAGE that the republican party did to
our economy.
Sharron Angle and the teabaggers are the
craziest people in the United States.
VOTE HARRY REID.
How about this scenario:
Team Reid got Sue Lowden to do the "chicken" thing, so she would get lost in the screaming, thereby losing to Angle. Reid will beat Angle. When Ensign gets booted, our new Republican Governor appoints Lowden to fill the vacancy. Reid wins again. We lose.
NoMorePC......
Rory Reid wins Governor and appoints a
Democrat to replace Ensign.
We win all the way around.
Ensign steps down, or is forced out, and Gov. Gibbons appoints a Republican, Sharron Angle wins, Rory Reid loses, Sandoval wins. and you demwit crawl back into you holes,and the sun shines again
The unions in this country have ruined everything. This yardbird "teamster", sounds alot like other leaches that run their mouth about things they know nothing about. Give Angle a chance, and run all the union dogs out of this country. They haven't done a dam bit of good except ruin businesses. Maybe mr "teamster" should open his oun business and see how long it would last after the unions get their grimey fingers in it. I owned 11 supermarkets in the midwest years ago. Paid all my employees well. Then one day the unions came in and told me how I was going to run my business. I told my employees that if they went union, I would close my doors. The good old union boys feed them full of promises on how they would make things much better. Just think, for 9 years I payed higher salarys that the other stores in the area, with better benefits. But after their brain washing, one of my stores went union. Knowing what was next, and finding out that after all those year, my employees had no repect for having a job that I furnished, I held one more meeting with the employees, (most didn't bother attending because they knew that the unions would win). I closed all my stores that day. Took all my money and moved away. 308 people lost their jobs that day, thanks to the union. It bothered me for some time, just shutting down. Now when I look back I have to laugh, They where going to fix my a$$. The 30 or so employees that did attend the final meeting received 2 weeks pay. The rest received what they deserved. I hope "teamster" was one of those lackys that thought they knew better. The moral of the story is Obama, Reid, Pelosi and all of the other left-wing radicals want this country to run like a union. the problem is if everyone is working for the government and the unions, there will be no one working at a real business making money to pay for the government.
Guess what John, union grocery chains are doing
just fine, thank you.
We compete with anti-union Walmart and one day
we'll unionize them.
Safeway, Albertsons, Food For Less, Smiths, Vons
and others are still making a nice profit.
You greedy, anti-union republicans are the ones
who ruined our economy.
We union people are still living the American
dream, no thanks to you.
We won't let anymore republican thieves break
our unions.
Well teamster, I'm not a republican. thats the problem with you left wing, out of touch, union lackys. We old Democates use to have a pretty good party until the progressives took over. You guys always want to lump everyone into the same brain-washed anti-American group. Give me, give me. I'm owed this, I'm owed that. Just another form of cancer eating away at the American Dream.
teamster: You seem to have been programmed, you say the same old things. These days American Union members losing their Jobs to foreign, and illegal aliens, and that is a fact. You are just like Senator Reid, you could care less about American workers, you really want cheap labor, you are one phony
pmontg53......
You are one sorry, confused, anti-American
worker.
We Teamsters are pro-American worker and will
not stand by and watch you greedy republicans
continue to send our jobs to COMMUNIST CHINA.
You republicans lie through your teeth, YOU ARE
the ones who want cheap labor.
You are the phony.
johnniek......
If you're not a republican you're worse than a
republican.
You and your kind are the cancer that ate away
the American dream.
We Democrats won't let you greedy right-wingers
ruin our economy anymore.
That's why you jerks are out of power.
Teamster
We will see who's out of power in November, and then its on to a victory in 2012. You and your kind just woke up the real sleeping giant. Union and non-union people of this country understand now, just where the Obama-Reid group, want to take America. We all voted for Change! Not a "Socialist Society" and if "teamster" thinks bringing in 20,000,000 illegals and making them a voting block is the answer to our prayers, then he is nuts.
johnnniek......
Vice President, Joe Biden said,"We're going to
keep the Senate and the House, that's a sure
thing".
I'm with Joe on this.
We won't let this country go back to the greedy,
republican ideology.
Greedy republicans broke our middle class.
We're not going back.
Senator Reid is who he is. He is a Senior Senator and a democrat who is experienced and has many years of service. Negro, and other comments are just age that he needs to catch up the modern slang. He has a point about espanics should be democrat because Angle will not support any immigration help. I do not agree with him on the NYC mosque. It should be built where it is. Senator Reid doesn't know NYC and how big and tall it is and the mosque is no threat. This is a NYC issue and should be kept there. But; Angles pushing to make this a problem with fear instead of the issues, has brought it here. I wish he had left it in NYC. Jon: I don't buy Angle's ad. She's lying and all she will be is a mouth peice for Mitch McConnell like Ensign is. We will be at the mercy of east coast and southern ditatorship with no money or jobs coming to Nevada. Senator Reid is our only hope for federal help.
Teamster:Who really listen to Joe Biden? I almost forgot that he was vice president. Looks like the votes are shifting for Sharron Angle. Jon Ralston had to take off to help Harry get his strategy together. Want work- really it goes downhill from now own for Senator Reid, I'm sure that when Jon get's back from his vacation with Senator Reid he'll put some tighter spins on his commentaries, We former Democrats, and others are getting better at unraveling the mystery of dirty democratic politics.

A former Democrat?
You sold out to greed and lies.
Republicans wrote the book on dirty politics.
Reid will win by a landslide.
Teamster: No I did not sell out, the unions, I supported efforts to organize workers against Wal-Mart the local united food workers union 711, and still a current inactive culinary local 226 member. Local 226 use to be for the American worker, now most of the jobs that Americans use to have are now filled with foreign nationals mostly for Mexico, Latin, and central America, some are here on work visas, and when there visa's run out, they stay, they have babies, buy homes, and invade, I have already posted Senator Reid's voting record on immigration, Senator Reid is part of the problem, and you know that, you remind me of someone who have a personal stake in something, I don't necessarily agree with polls, but from what I've seen he is a long way from any landslide victory. In fact in recent polls indicate the he is losing.
Lastly: the Democrat party back candidates that I do not agree with, most Democrats believe in abortion, I do not, the unions back candidates who believes in gay relationships, I do not, those two issues, and the fact that the Unions now embraces Foreign workers over Americans was enough for me, The Unions are more into politics now, and they know just like Senator Reid knows a vote is a vote, whether you are here legally or not,

On gays and abortion, let woman and gays make
their own decisions, that's the Democratic way.
That's what real freedom is all about.
Sorry you had a problem with your union but
unions are still needed in this country.
The way to get this country back on track is to limit campaign spending. $1,000,000 for congress or senate, $10,000,000 for president. Stop all Pac and lobbist money. Limit personal donations to $10.00. Limit terms to 2 for everyone. All bills before the senate or congress must be read to the American public 10 days before a vote is cast. No more earmarks for 8 years, then limited pork barrel on a need bases only. Cut all salarys in half, including benefits. Lets try this for the next 50 or so years.
Teamster: I am not as extreme and some, however I will never vote for anyone who is for the killing of a innocent human life, the German people became tolerant, while millions were burned and gassed, I will never see abortions as civilized. People like you support the Democratic Party who always votes to continue the killing of innocent human babies, I am not crazy about the Republicans, but at least they vote against abortion, and so called gay rights. As for me abortion is the very first thing I look at when selecting a candidate, then gay relations, both are the worst kind of abominations. And for some of my African American brothers, and sisters, abortion was introduced to the United States to kill black babies, "My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge". National Security comes in 3rd on my list, and don't forget Harry Reid is for open borders, and could care less about English being the national language for the U.S.A

pmontg53...I am happy to post right behind you because you "will never vote for anyone who is for the killing of an innocent human life." But you are for Sharron Angle. She would not allow an abortion even to save the life of the mother because that would interfere with "God's plan." Isn't that woman innocent? You know, don't you, that the baby is usually going to die anyway in that situation?
