Sharron Angle arrives with her husband, Ted, to give her concession speech at the Republicans’ election-night party early Wednesday at the Venetian.
By J. Patrick Coolican (contact) 
Friday, Nov. 5, 2010 | 2 a.m.
Sharron Angle, the vanquished Republican challenger to Sen. Harry Reid, depicted herself in her brochures as a conservative warrior, driving her old pickup truck, brandishing a firearm. She picked up the Tea Party flag and waved it and then used the flagpole to stick the Nevada establishment in the eye. Although Angle lives in suburban Reno, her most fervent followers reside in the mostly white, rural counties.
In a year when Republicans, including deeply conservative ones, won all over the country, Angle lost, even though Reid was a candidate whose approval ratings sat in the doldrums below 50 percent for years.
Quite simply, Nevada is not the state Angle thought it is, or would like it to be.
Note the Angle profile: anti-establishment, white, (quasi) rural, ultraconservative.
In her defeat, and in her profile, we can see the important factors influencing Nevada’s political climate. Some are long-standing characteristics. Other factors are newer and have been developing only recently, but will almost certainly continue, perhaps at an accelerated pace.
1. A powerfully entrenched establishment that is bipartisan, or, rather, unipartisan.
“The Establishment won. At the end of the day, that’s who won,” UNLV political scientist David Damore said. As a one-industry town, Las Vegas has just a few players who need care and feeding, and no one is closer to those players, whether Democrat or Republican, than Reid. His backers included the Culinary Union, but also MGM Resorts International’s Republican CEO Jim Murren. Reid has also spent years cultivating the mining industry, which considers him a bulwark against Eastern environmentalists and new taxes at the state Legislature.
For years, decades actually, Reid has done favors for these Establishment players, and the favors came back.
“They were in whole hog with him,” said Robert Lang, director of Brookings Mountain West. “Business here sees him for what he is — a transactional politician. And it’s a transactional town. And I say these things in a positive sense.”
The power of the Establishment showed itself in other races, as well. Although Reid’s son Rory ran for governor, his father’s camp didn’t want him running, and his Republican opponent Brian Sandoval managed, oddly, to become even more Establishment than the senator’s son. Sandoval has been a gaming regulator and represented shareholders for the big electric utility.
At the center of this influence is R&R Partners, the advertising and public affairs firm that gave the world “What happens here, stays here.” Its CEO, Billy Vassiliadis, was a chief adviser to Reid. The firm’s top lobbyist, Republican Pete Ernaut, recruited Sandoval to run.
Angle had hoped the conservative grass roots could elect her, just as the liberal grass roots hoped they could transform the state’s politics after the 2008 election. Both were delusional.
2. Over the long haul, demographics are destiny. Minorities make up 31 percent of the population. Hispanics constituted 15 percent of the electorate, and 68 percent of them backed Reid, according to CNN exit polling.
“If you pay attention to demographic trends, you can win a close election,” said William Frey, a Brookings Institution demographer.
Angle, who used TV ads that many Hispanics considered racist, helped Reid mightily with this tone deafness.
Given current birthrates, the state will become more diverse. Lang said Southern Nevada is becoming like a “quasi-Southern California.”
Republicans ignore these trends and continue their vituperative rhetoric at their long-term peril. “Let me introduce you to the Whig and Know Nothing parties from the mid-19th century,” Lang said. “You dance with the Know Nothings into oblivion.”
But Democrats must be attuned to any sense among the burgeoning population of Hispanics that they are being used or taken for granted by politicians.
The trend also presents a challenge to city fathers trying to stitch together a cohesive civic fabric: As the Sun reported in 2006, a key political dynamic that will play out in the coming years will be the tension between older white voters — many of whom are transplants and put their children through school in some state in the East -- having to pay taxes to support schools for minority children.
In this age of extreme austerity, it could make for ugly politics.
Lang said older Nevadans need to be convinced that putting money into schools will make young minorities more productive, which in turn will help them pay the Social Security and Medicare costs of the aged.
Not an easy sell.
3. The cities rule. Washoe County, where Reno sits, backed Reid, just as it backed President Barack Obama in 2008. In both cases the state’s second largest county joined the biggest, making the rest of the state irrelevant.
Nevada is now thoroughly urban, paradoxically the most urban in the country despite its desert sprawl, and urban interests will dominate the state’s future.
“If you can appeal to urban Nevada,” Lang said, “including the moderately conservative areas, then you win.”
For decades, North vs. South has dominated the state’s political dynamic, and that will continue on some issues such as water and political representation in Carson City. But on other issues, the two cities will be bound together, seeking to use their political influence to meet the needs of their urban dwellers.
4. Truly purple and never more important.
Reid won. But so did Republican Sandoval. Democratic Rep. Dina Titus lost narrowly to Joe Heck, but Democratic constitutional officers won. Republicans picked up a few seats in the Legislature, but didn’t enjoy the wave effect of Republicans elsewhere. In retrospect, Angle, the rabid conservative, could not win statewide.
The state’s bellwether appears to be the Las Vegas Beltway that encircles much of the valley. Democrats won these key suburban precincts in 2008, but Republicans came back strong in 2010. The party that controls the beltway controls Nevada.
With Democrats getting pummeled in the industrial Midwest, expect Obama to pin his hopes on Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada to achieve the necessary 270 electoral votes for re-election. So expect Nevada to be a battleground again in 2012.
Which means we all have just a short holiday from the political ads.
or...
sharron angle is an unelectable nutjob!!!
wonder what sue lowden is up to these days???
hee hee hee...
hoo hoo hoo...
haa haa haa...
Lang said Southern Nevada is becoming like a "quasi-Southern California."
__________
Great, sounds so appealing. But hey, who cares just as long as it's Democrats who get to run everything into the ditch like they have done in that messed up state.
"Angle, who used TV ads that many Hispanics considered racist ..."
It wasn't just Hispanics who considered Angle's racist ads racist -- pretty much any objective person with eyes and ears got the blatant race-baiting message.
Not since Willie Horton have we seen anything like it. What's really surprising is that crazy Angle's campaign wasn't called out and that the ads were allowed to run at all.
Angle kneecapped herself with the scary-brown-people crap. This isn't the Deep South. She offended minorities, including Asians, and that did nothing but benefit Reid.
Bottom line is the teabaggers are passionate but extremely dumb.
So glad to see Nevada moving forward, not backward. Look at the states the Tea Party won, no place Id ever want to visit.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/29/opinio...
Angle's anti-immigration ads were the most blatantly racist ads run in the entire country and an embarrassment for Nevada. Why her campaign continued to run them after all the negative attention they garnered for her is a mystery. Those ads, more than anything else, imo, cost her the election.
C'mon, folks, be nice, let's wave good-bye to Angle and play her favourite song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBH8o8XXn...
Conservatives thinks because Faux News has so many viewers and Talk Radio has so many listeners, that they are a majority of the voters and they are not. Without Independent voters, they are a minority and when voter turnout is high, they a really a minority. There are states and districts that are truly red but there are still blue states and states like Nevada.
Whoa, whoa whoa. Demographics are NOT destiny. Anyone who says that doesn't quite get it. If Demographics were destiny then Nevada's growing Hispanic population means we will always have a subpar education system. This is wrong because we've seen Florida dramatically improve the quality of education with similar spending levels and a similar size Hispanic population.
Now I agree that Republicans can't ignore Hispanics, but I cannot agree that Democrats have taken some moral high ground on the issue either.
Mr. Coolican you have written an exceptionally insightful article, one that has very few if any points that I can disagree with. Thank you!
I agree with Sandy. Those ads pushed every Hispanic possible to vote against her. The last thing she needed to win was to alienate an entire race of people who just happen to be the largest minority in the state. I guess coalition building was not in her game plan because if she could have convinced LEGAL hispanic immigrants that she was with them, she could have easily pulled off the win. Her anti-hispanic ads even turned off conservative white voters like myself. A real bad mistake in not recognizing how hurtful those ads were to her campaign. I agree they were probably the tipping point. Every time that ad came on, everyone in the room cringed, black, white, or hispanic.
Memo to the Crazy Cat Lady;
You do NOT win elections by pissing off large blocks of the voting public.
What are you, nuts or something???
Women, Hispanics, Gays, Veterans, Children, the sick, the elderly, the unemployed, the list is endless; "How To Snatch Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory; The Sharron Angle Story"....subtitled "I Just Couldn't Keep My Big Fat Mouth Shut".
How could some 50,000 people in Clark County hold their nose and vote for Reid, Sr and not vote for Reid, Jr?
Can anybody explain that to me?
I'm no friend of Harry Reid. I voted against him in both 1998 and 2004.
But I just couldn't vote for a wacko like Angle. The woman is a certifiable lunatic.
SgtRock,
Sandoval is of Hispanic descent and he was a well groomed, safe moderate not prone to gaffs and mistakes. Rory Reid probably should not have run for Governor this year. Expect him to challenge for the Titus/Heck senate seat.
I should add that around 40% of students in CCSD are classed as Hispanic. In 10 years these students will be voters. Like it or not, the Hispanic demographic will be prevailing in the South Western states of the USA.
The Republicans have to be careful the 'Tea Party' doesn't saddle them in to a minority party of ageing white voters.
It was all about getting rid of Harry Reid. Nothing more...
The Republican party will become a dinosaur if it does not start to bring the Hispanic community into its ranks. Hispanics, with their conservative bent on social issues and their hard work ethic, are naturals for Republican Party. Unfortunately, conservatives continue to try to demonize and marginalize the Hispanic community for reasons I can only attribute to xenophobia.
I keep hoping that the ever growing independent middle will unite and form a party that would essentially force both the Dems and the Repubs to gravitate to the middle. Instead we keep seeing movements like the Tea Party that only cause the two major party's to move further away from the center--and further away from the wants and needs of the average citizen.
"bats**t crazy angle turned off too many people with her message..."
dipstick & ilk -- right, that's why she came in second to Reid by less than 6% of the votes. You really should think before you post.
Since the Democrats so narrowly keep control of the Senate and Reid his job, the status quo that tanked our economy lives on.
"What Harry Reid's victory reveals about politics in Nevada"
... that the mentally ill always have a really hard time getting elected to the US Senate.
I'm glad it's over and my phone with "PRIVATE" in the caller ID window has stopped ringing, thank God.
This is what you get when the Tea Party votes for an intelligent well spoken communicator http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuPEV_d1J...
The Sun is making this analysis much more difficult than it needs to be. Reid won because Angle was batsh*t crazy and that about sums it up. Almost anyone besides Angle and Reid probably would have lost. Fortunately for the Democratic Party, Nevada has more than its share of batsh*t crazy Republicans who supported her over much more qualified candidates.
It wasn't because of the Tea Party, other Tea Party candidates won. It was just Angle and, as crazy as she is, she still came close to winning. This doesn't say much for Nevadans other than point out the dangers of a poor education system.
@Jose - any fantasies we may have had about moving forward after the election were dashed when both McConnell and Boehner came out saying they have no intention of working "with" Obama.
If TonyCrazo does not like you, he just might call you:
"...is b#tsh#t crazy, a traitor, a coward, a theocrat, an idiot, a hypocrite and so much more."
Hey TonyCrazo:
If Sharron Angle is as you say, why was the election so close?
Harry Reid threw everything at Sharron Angle and Harry pulled all strings to get unions to get their members to the polls and vote for Harry.
Appears to me that both sides did not have strong candidates...
> the status quo that tanked our economy lives on.
I know you won't let reality get in your way but the economy ran off the rails in 2007.
> why was the election so close?
reid won by how many votes? hint --- close isn't the word most would use to describe this election. you maybe --- but you show clouded judgment, so much so as to marginalize yourself.
More of TonyCrazo compassionate quotes:
"I love watching the teabagger train wreck. It's going to HURT not help the right wingers. The GOP supporters will continue to be treated like the traitors they are. It's a good day in America. Thank you crazy right wingers for helping to keep the Democratic majority!"
"Further proof that Osama already won. No due process. Just the kind of justice - i.e., JUST US you'd get in a third world country. I am no longer so sure I am proud to be an American if this is the way we are going to do business."
"Finally now maybe so many young white trash "Christian" girls will stop getting pregnent out of wedlock while in high school. Too bad this didn't happen early enough to educate Balin Palin's daughter Bristol. She's the poster child for white trash pregnant and in high school."
"Finally now maybe so many young white trash "Christian" girls will stop getting pregnent out of wedlock while in high school."
What a guy...
Joselvnv... What a great post! I also believe that Latinos are marginalized. The Latinos that I have as neighbors, are hard working, polite people. Their children are also very polite. I was so glad they came out in force, Good Americans! I was disgusted by the racial ads Angles put forth.
tigermike said: "Sandoval is of Hispanic descent and he was a well groomed, safe moderate not prone to gaffs and mistakes."
You gotta give Harry Reid credit for this one, he has set a new level for what is an acceptable description for a candidates now. I'm surprised tigermike didn't add " and speaks without a Latino accent."
What will we hear about an Asian candidate, that he or she can pronounce "fried rice" correctly?
Factor 5. Bats**t crazy doesn't sell. Nevadans may be quirky and a bit uneducated, but they are not completely bonkers!
Boftx, what Reid said was reprehensible, but it seems to me that tigermike was talking about Sandoval being groomed for office, not his hairstyle and shaving habits.
And considering you supported Sharron Angle, a candidate who ran the most overtly racist campaign Nevada has seen in decades kinda undermines your point.
Given what Sharron Angle said about Asians and Hispanics, I can only assume you're comfortable with your double standard.
Actually ksand, there was another remark regarding a candidate of color being "clean cut and articulate" if I recall correctly. I don't recall the specifics, but we are hearing it more and more.
The fact that I said I intended to vote for Angle because I felt it was that important to not return Harry Reid as majority leader does not by any means say I supported her views 100%. We've already had that discussion.
This is about how more and more we are seeing a "soft" racism wrapped inside these left-handed compliments.
"Whatever" is free to post whatever (get it?) he wants. It is still a free country.
If "whatever" is trying to intimidate me, then he better go back and read some of my posts. Others have tried to intimidate me and have failed.
"Whatever" and his friend "TonyCrazo" do not like my posts, and I sure don't like the tone of their posts.
TonyCrazo is the premier vulgar name caller and demonizer on this site. Particularity when he spews hate such as:
"Sharon Angle is b#tsh#t crazy, a traitor, a coward, a theocrat, an idiot, a hypocrite and so much more."
So, "whatever," bring it on my little bully...
What Harry Reid's victory reveals about politics in Nevada ...... That people are crazy! If you keep doing the same things and expect a different result, thats a sigh of stupidity! But i will cut you some slack, you had the SEIU working on the voting machines and that in of itself is the same as the Fox gaurding the Chicken house!!
In defeat, Sharron Angle finds Nevada not the state she thought...
Yeah, she thought we would be s-s-s-s-stupid enough to vote for her but we taught her!
That an apparently sizable number of fools would actually voice support for her is about the only thing Sharron Angle got right.
Republicans were successful in the early part of this century by constructing the "Big Tent." The Tea Party phenomonon was, at it's heart, a visceral response to the shock of having a Black man in the White House.
The Tea Party movement has obliterated any possibility for the "Big Tent" to be re-erected for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately for the Republican Party, this makes it difficult, if not impossible, to attract Blacks, Hispanics, and other disaffected minority groups, such as Muslims.
By accepting the Tea Party faction, the Republican Party has set itself up for an uphill climb in 2012, and maybe beyond.
America becomes less of a white Christian Nation with each passing day. Unless the Republican Party comes to grips with that fact, their transmission will be permanently stuck in R.
@Larry Vegas: Good fight, buddy. You lost, we won, nyaa, Nyaa, na, na, Nyaa!
Angle never had a chance. It was just a bunch of liars on Nevada talk radio that had their typical delusions.
I hope the IRS and the Federal Election Commission do a thorough accounting of the Angle Campaign's money. An awful lot of money passed through her hands in a short period. Maybe more than a little of it stuck to her fingers, and found its way into her pockets.
tigermike said, "... around 40% of students in CCSD are classed as Hispanic. In 10 years these students will be voters. Like it or not, the Hispanic demographic will be prevailing in the South Western states of the USA."
LVLawDog said, "The Republican party will become a dinosaur if it does not start to bring the Hispanic community into its ranks. Hispanics, with their conservative bent on social issues and their hard work ethic, are naturals for Republican Party."
I strongly agree with both of these posters. IMO, Hispanics are hard-working, family-oriented Christians. They're natural Republicans. If the Republican Party wised-up and embraced these people instead of humiliating and demonizing them, the Republicans could set up a long-term stranglehold on the Hispanic Bloc similar to what the Democrats had for many years in the South.
But I better shut-up before the Republicans take my advice. Instead, let them cling to the rich, white base at their peril.
When the polls were predicting a win by Angle, I began wondering why I had retired here. Thank heavens the polls were wrong. My faith in Nevada and its voters has been restored.
Angle did lose so did Nevada,but remember almost half did not vote for the doddering old fool.And the republicans do not and should not cross the isle and play nice with the muslim President and the old fool,They did not play nice when they were in power.And the old fool will do nothing for us he never did,it was all for him.
Angle is unemployed and probably feeling depressed about it. Luckily, she and her husband can depend on his government pension to see them through these tough times. And the nutty couple can also look forward to free government-funded health care for the rest of their lives.
No wonder she hates the government ...
Er, never mind.
Mr. Sun, reading your story and the gist of most comments here, it is quite apparent what kind of state Nevada is...it is a state made up of people who never learned how to be gracious in victory...although I am not surprised, I am nonetheless disturbed by the tone of your story, and of course, your weak and inane 'analysis,' Mr. Sun...it would seem that you have learned nothing from the past several months...
The Harry Reid SEIU team bought 361,555 votes for Reid. The anti-Reid crowd had 320,996 votes.
Harry Reid won by less than 6%. Not a land slide as previously mentioned. Jut a minor mud slide.
But, the 320,996 Nevadans who voted AGAINST Harry Reid are not going anywhere and their voices will be heard in 2012...
Now that Ms Angle is no longer a running for US senator, and no longer an employee (head) of the 'Friends of Sharron Angle' campaign organization, will she apply for unemployment compensation? Did the "Friends.." company pay the REQUIRED taxes for her as an employee of that particular enterprise?...Just wondering...
@Richard Guiltful: You lost, Buddy, we won, nyaa, Nyaa, na, na, Nyaa!
From the Larry Vegas Vault:
5/12/10 at 7:30 p.m. "Make no mistake about it there okra... Real men don't have to name call or patronize those who they don't agree with..."
5/13/10 at 3:09 a.m. "The teamster is now officially a CHICKEN LIBERAL..."
In less than 6 hours, LarryVegas refudiated himself.
A "Chicken Liberal" is a title, not name calling. I would never call teamster a chicken, because he doesn't know why he crossed the road...
Luckily this is Harry Reids last term.
I expect nothing to change for the next two years. Foreclosures will continue, poor education system will continue, job losses will continue, high unemployment will continue, food stamp usage will continue, crime will continue to rise, and the list goes on.
Democrats have controlled this city for awhile now and it shows.
Prove me wrong Reid.
Skerlahdee...three things...
1) You helped me make my point - thank you
2) We both lost, but only one of us is wise enough to know it
3) There is no such word as refudiated
Enjoy your evening...
"3) There is no such word as refudiated ..."
I'm using the American "R u smarter than a half-term Governor" Revised Dictionary ... and it's right there on p.1519. You betcha!
"2) We both lost, but only one of us is wise enough to know it..."
"To the victor belong the spoils." We won, you lost. So Nyaa, nyaa, na, na, nyaa!
Often attributed to Andrew Jackson, wiki says, "Defending Jackson's nomination of Martin Van Buren as minister to the United Kingdom in 1832, William L. Marcy used the phrase "'to the victor belong the spoils," from which the term spoils system is derived."
A couple of nice Thomas Nast cartoons referencing the spoils system:

*End of thread hijack*
It must be awful being a racist. Usually the one you hate the most is not an "illegal" but yourself.
Life goes on...
"But, the 320,996 Nevadans who voted AGAINST Harry Reid are not going anywhere and their voices will be heard in 2012..."
So someone here is going to be an old, miserable, sore loser for the next two years spewing his rage and discontent as he bangs away on his keyboard night after night.
Too bad. Life is so short. Get out and find more things you enjoy in this short life of ours rather than finding joy in what makes you angry and hateful.
Maverick18.......
Those voices, who voted against Harry Reid, are
not going anywhere, period.
They will lose again, in 2012.
People like larry, always pick losers.
Here is an interesting comment:
"Looking at the big picture, I would like to add:
1. Jewry, as a mistaken concept of a persecuted people in the illusion of higher worth/value than any other life forms; and threatened by gentiles, has been created by more intelligent beings not necessarily of this earth and not necessarily incarnated at any time; but certainly under the control of the "fallen" archangel Lucifer. Lucifer suffered from excessive pride, and that pride shut down his perception of the TRUTH.
2. One of the best of the many tools the illuminati use against the human race is an EGREGORE created long long ago by a few "evil" pharisees ('evil' are those beings whose soul has a very serious lack of understanding of the truth of the universe and because of this it is easy for Lucifer's minions to manipulate them) inside the collective mind of their "Jewish" people; and soon fed lots and lots of emotional fear energy by the so-called "chosen" Jewish people. Chosen?: Yes; many of them for their combination of lack of spiritual maturity (which allows for easy manipulation through fear), lack of compassion (also connected to spiritual immaturity as well as fear) and also for their indeed intelligence (which is a totally separated thing from spritual maturity).
Intelligence can be grown in a selected group of people as a consequence of an education from the very first baby year onwards, education that creates and emphasizes the trust that one is more intelligent than other humans. It will for a good part be inherited as well, so this works very well over many generations.
Unfortunately most Jewish people have too much pride to be able to see that there might be a possibility that the whole idea of being a 'special' people has been created by; and also manipulated and used by; a more intelligent entity than themselves. This was done in order to slow down or even stop the evolution of the whole human population on this planet. Evolution is scary for Lucifer. Control feels safe for him/her."
Lucifer is a title and not a being and there never was such a thing as a rebellion in "heaven".
It reveals, that there is a need for an occult "doctor".
Please, take a look out the window.
There will be ONE chance to prevent destruction, otherwise karma will take over.
This one sums the essence up:
"Remember those who seek to do good suffer much in this world. Lincoln, JFK, Martin Luther, many many more, hundreds if not thousands etc etc, Moses, Christ, disciples etc etc all were greatly persecuted."
... tested - it's not about writing down Bible quotes.
Move to Arizona TeaHeads, the less of you in Nevada the better.
Selah................
I suspect the old snake isn't particularly pleased about the idea of hijacking the "illuminati", so the near future may prove quite interesting.

"Our main problem today," he summarises "is survival. And how can we survive without this text?"
By accepting Jesus Christ.
My View : Re : Another Bush Era ( = Entire Downfall )
1. I think Corrupt Money & Almost Dead Media led Independents to Fuel the no idea' Gains.
That explains why Moneycracy & Money-driven media call for urgent overhaul.
Do people expect job growth, more affordable premium & cheaper gas prices from insurance take-over & oil companies ?
2. Extension of oil wars displaced Energy Independence or A Jobs law, empowering the war party and leaving healthcare law near demise before survival.
Prior to the question of where are jobs ? , the urgency of Energy Independence or A Jobs law needs to come first.
At least pending RES legislation needs to be addressed in the first place.
3. The most efficient deficit-cut way of government would be slashing the destructive war & military waste.
Slashing the destructive war & military waste alone supposedly could be enough to balance the budget.
Regrettably. opponents are instead critical of sound investments. ( Depression : New Deal = Great Recession : Stimulus Package (Groundwork) )
Weapon Sell = Mexican Drug Trafficking = Destroy all, driving global economy in a destructive direction.
Even Overall US intelligence budget tops $80 billion annually.
4. While the days of cheap oil is gone, thankfully, just as insightful Al Gore predicted, even if fewer people then agreed with his claim, recent findings show that tangible increase in the renewable energy capacity is economically and technically feasible.
Currently, the exciting fourth wave of smart grid & renewable energy with great job potential world-wide is upon us.
And surprisingly, the EV world broke the most difficult barrier of limited range.
DBM Energy's electric Audi A2 completed record setting 372 mile drive on a single charge.
For more details about DBM Energy battery, kindly search DBM Energy battery.
The recent bold drive for green energy in CA could shed lights on how best to meet the challenge of high unemployment.
What this proves is that the unions with a bunch of dollars and intimadating people to vote along with taking them to the polls and feeding them will win an election for Searchlight Harry. About 200 million did the trick. Yes it was a trick you fools.
There is nothing wrong with Arizona. And Arizona just might be the place to move to after Harry Reid allows Nevada to sink while he is being Obama's water boy.
Malarkey used to be a Republican before he became a Democrat way back in 2000...
What HARRY REID did is what tyrant and despots do in any BANANA REPUBLIC, I for one come from one of them. Thuggery at its best. The american people should be very vigilant of these dangerous tactics I dont care if you are a deocract, republican, liberal or conservative that's not the way democracy works. I hope it doen't get to the point where I have to be afraid of a knock on the door in the middle of the night because I oppose the ruling party.
The democracts can't win without the union support,
that't why they funnel billions of dollards to their coffers, in kind unions donate billions of dollars back at their candidates plus more important man-hours canvassing the streets.
WAKE AMERICA our constitution is being subverted and perverted by these corrupt politicians when they neutralize your god-given vote. Look what happen in Minessota AL FRANKEN won due to
dead people, ACORN, felon votes and suppressing the military vote. In Connecticut 63 thousand votes came from an empty lot.
I hope that now that the republicans won the house they bring ERIC HOLDER to the floor and explain why he let the black panthers get away with voter intimidation and why there is six votes for every voter in RHODE ISLAND.
Have you forgoten why JIMMY CARTER go around the world to supervise elections so they dont get stolen by despots or any member of the oligarchy?
"It also helps you win if you are filthy rich and corrupt."
And the election is run by President Diebold.
Here's the reason Angle lost: she's unattractive.
Here's the reason Palin is so popular: she's just as bats**t crazy but she's very attractive. It's the same reason McCain thought Palin would help him win the Presidency. Some might think that conclusion is sexist. Maybe.... but it's the truth.
There was only one thing that saved Harry Reid behind in the election. The massive bussing of
union member into voting place. It does seem
extremely questionable that he was so far behind
and overnight twiked out a win. Considering that
the Services Union president bragged about the number of Criminal Illigal Alines who belonged to
his union I wonder how many registered to vote
illigally? The voters of Nevada were done a great
diservice and will suffer as a result of letting Unions control their states economy and future.
Boftx: "It's not flied rice, it's fried rice, you plick!" Quote taken from old Chinese gentleman (can't remember his name) in the movie "Lethal Weapon 4." It was funny at the time ....
Uncle Benny...
she should moved to a southern state that will suit her just fine. we should divide the state racist and bigot (repubtard/teabaggers)take the right side of mississippi and democrat take the left side problem solve they can take away everthing from there american public. and see what kind of reponse they get
Here is the reason Angle lost:
"For those unfamiliar with fraternity initiation rituals, the initiation rites of the Skull & Bones society are shocking. Even for those that are familiar, the rituals seem too bizarre to believe, especially in a fraternity for the upper crust. However, they even been filmed by secret infrared camera.
As did every member of the Yale Skull & Bones fraternity, George W. Bush and Bush Sr.:
1. Publicly sold their souls to Satan. George W. Bush may have considered it a joke, but it is still a sick joke.
2. Publicly masturbated in a coffin in view of the other members of the fraternity.
3. Swore allegiance to Satan while touching a human skull.
4. Bowed before a man dressed as Satan.
5. Permitted a man to press a human femur (thigh bone) into his anus.
6. Publicly confessed the entire catalog of his lifelong sexual fantasies.
7. Chanted the mantra:
"The Hangman equals Death.
The devil equals death.
Death equals Death."
Lewis Alper, an Evangelical Christian, discusses the religious blasphemy of the initiation ceremony, and Bush's refusal, even late in life, after he was "saved", to repudiate his pledge of allegiance to Satan."
Some might think that conclusion is "sexist".
Maybe .... but it's the truth.
The self proclaimed "gods" have yet to realize, that they're the biggest of all suckers.
The earlier quote by the old Chinese gentleman should have read "It's not flied lice, it's fried rice, you plick".
And this is currently being staged by the part time "Gods":
Do a little "terror" in the beginning:

The only problem with this arrangement, that after serving a couple of thousand years with Baphomet or some other demon (this is where the fun starts for the demon), most black "sorcerers" don't manage to get out of the demon's sphere, become a demon itself at some point of time and their fate is sealed, because they lose their immortal nature.
This is the typical story of a part time "God".
Demons are testers and who fails the test in the occult will receive karma lessons, which cannot be compared with anything here on earth - the story of the "illuminated".
So keep on going you fools ...
