RENO -- In the first critical week of early voting, Vice President Joe Biden used a 45-minute speech in Reno to convince Nevadans that the responsibility for the collapse of the economy doesn’t belong to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Biden also took more than a few swipes at Reid’s opponent Republican Sharron Angle, likening her to the Republican seeking his old Senate seat in Delaware, Christine O’Donnell.
“Having one person with such extreme views is not such a big deal,” Biden told the crowd of about 500 people. “But folks, folks they’re all over the place. This ain’t your father’s Republican Party.
“These women, mean it. They mean it. It would be different if it were a campaign tactic. But they mean it.”
Biden joins a steady stream of national surrogates — both Republican and Democrat — who are using Nevada to deliver the closing arguments of the mid-term elections.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin rallied in Reno this week and former Speaker Newt Gingrich campaigns for Angle in Las Vegas on Thursday. Former President Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama have visited for Reid.
Biden argued the job for Nevada voters isn’t simply to protect one of the Democrats' most powerful incumbents, but to halt the wave of Tea Party candidates who would make it “more difficult to govern.”
“The Republican Party is in disarray,” Biden said. “That’s not good for Democrats. That’s not good period. It’s not good to see the Republican Party taken over by the Tea Party.”
In his opening remarks, Reid criticized Angle for her belief the doctrine of separation of church and state isn’t enshrined in the U.S. Constitution — harkening again to similar comments made by O’Donnell that have made national news this week.
“Two months ago she said, get this, that there’s no such thing in the Constitution as separation of church and state,” Reid said. “Try the First Amendment.
“If my opponent wants to run on her constitutional expertise, she should at least know what’s in it.”
Biden used most of his stump speech to deliver Democrats’ closing argument that while the economy is still suffering, they aren’t responsible for its collapse. Instead, he blamed the Bush administration and big banks.
Returning Republicans to office, he said, would return the policies responsible for collapse.
“I don’t remind you of this because I want to re-litigate the past, I remind you so we don’t relive the past,” he said.
But Angle spokesman Jarrod Agen said Biden isn't an effective messenger for Reid, particularly since Nevada's economy is struggling so badly.
"Nevada voters despise Senator Reid, so Harry has flown in his Washington, D.C. cronies to stick up for him. But ultimately, an appearance by Vice President Joe Biden will do more harm than good for Harry Reid because Joe is one of the main accomplices in destroying Nevada's economy," Agen said in a written release. "Spouting the same tired rhetoric we've all heard before, Biden ignored the fact that he was standing in a city struggling under the Obama Administration and a state with the worst unemployment in the nation. Voters fell for Biden's empty promises two years ago, but they won't be fooled again."

Mr Biden is soooooo right when he says, " This ain't your father's Republican Party." Thank God for small miracles... because my father would have never gotten up and out to challenge the status quo.
How many of us can remember back in the day, when if challenged by a Democrat, most rank and file Republicans would never offer any kind of a rebuttal, but instead, would say some sort of nicety hoping to smooth things over ???
Well Mr Biden, I for one am glad those days are over. Because you ain't my crazy Uncle Larry's Democratic party either.
Too much is at stake this election. We need to stop this administration's circumvention of the constitution. That means Harry Reid can not be elected to another term to assist Obama with his progressive transformation of America.
If not now... then when?
If not us... then who ?
"Obama..... One and Done": Vote Republican - 2010/2012

We are cleaning up the mess you republicans left behind for the past eight years...it may take awhile but we'll get it back and don't forget this...we're not going back.. OK.
Oh, but it get's the dander of the crazies up when a Democrat speaks the truth, with convition...

VP Biden should have reminded Nevadans that the last time they voted for Democrats - they got the trifecta of ignorance, stupidity and fraud in Obama, Reid and Polosi. We don't need more proof that the Democrats are bad for Nevada and the USA.

Los liberales parecen asumir que, si usted no cree en sus soluciones politicas particulares, entonces usted realmente no se preocupa por la gente que ellos reclaman para querer ayudar.
Rechazo una proposicion como el suyo, basado en la recriminacion, que a fin de enganar a una gente les impediria realizar que el capitalismo de hoy sabe solo un color: aquel color es verde; todo lo demas es necesariamente menos importante para ello ..... por lo tanto, raza, genero y pertenencia etnica no puede ser considerado dentro de ello.
=============================================
Liberals seem to assume that, if you don't believe in their particular political solutions, then you don't really care about the people they claim to want to help.
I reject a proposition like yours, based on recrimination, which in order to dupe a people would prevent them from realizing the capitalism of today knows only one color: that color is green; all else is necessarily less important to it..... therefore, race, gender and ethnicity cannot be considered within it.
Dear Mr. Johns thinks we all have short memories and have forgotten the cliff the republicans drove us off of. Fact is when you run the country into a hole its gonna take a while to dig out. So yes we know who to blame. Republicans!!!
"We are cleaning up the mess you republicans left behind for the past eight years...it may take awhile but we'll get it back and don't forget this...we're not going back.. OK."
>> Democrats controlled congress and senate and created the budgets, voted FOR wars and increased spending (much, much, much increased in this administration as to prior which was bad enough). You are only making your (democrat) mess worse.
It's high time the conservatives of America (the majority) get a control on the wild spending and bureaucratic agencies running out-of-control. This is NOT a democracy, this is a republic and the republic needs to stand on the foundation of the constitution.
Sorry kids, Daddy (or Mommy) is taking the keys to the car BACK. You're grounded. It's about time we have an adult back in leadership who will do the right thing for the country and not unions, special interests, bureaucrats.
With that being said, it is high time for people to look after people; volunteer, donate money, DO SOMETHING for a better America besides sitting around and complaining that GOVERNMENT should do it all FOR YOU. It's called being an American; it doesn't provide FREE LUNCH.
This is a diversion from the fact that our economy is broken: 10% un-employment, $3,000,000,000,000.00 added to our debt in the last two years, taxes going up in December, Cap & Tax legislation in the house, $800,000,000,000.00 stimulus bill and one of the bigger problems, an expensive health care bill! I think it was Bill Clinton who coined the phrase, "It's the economy stupid"!

Biden's argument is contradictory - he's trying to have it both ways.
1) He says that these republicans are a new breed, they're not like your father's republican party.
2) Then he says that these republicans will instutute the same old Bush policies.
Well which one is it Joe? Are they a new breed or are they the dsame old Bush GOP'ers?
Actually, to say these "Tea Party" candidates will go back to the Bush policies is false. From what I know, the Tea Party candidates oppose the Bush economic polices as well as Obama's.
So even if you disagree with them, to say the Tea Party candidates will be a return to Bush economics is a falsehood.
Si, si, gracimus he comprendido los argumentos, pero quiero detener el racismo de la Senora Sharron Angle y los Republicanos. Yo quiero vivir con derechos democraticos y en la libertad de los Estados Unidos de America. No quiero ver los racistas gagnar esta eleccion.

President Clinton left a gift-wrapped $315bn budget surplus behind for Inept George to do as he pleased.
Eight years later Inept George was run out of town on a rail with 29% approvals after our detroying our economy for a generation.
Thanks a lot teabaggers.

Una de las visiones politicas mas penetrantes de nuestro tiempo es la nocion de liberales siendo compasivos y conservadores como menos humanitaria. Aunque las referencias misticas a la sociedad y sus programas para ayudar puedan calentar los corazones del credulo, lo que esto realmente significa pone mas poder en las manos de burocratas.... y menos dinero en los bolsillos de las personas americanas.
==============================================
One of the most pervasive political visions of our time is the notion of liberals being compassionate and conservatives as less caring. Though the mystical references to society and its programs to help may warm the hearts of the gullible, what it really means is putting more power in the hands of bureaucrats.... and less money in the pockets of the American people.
A lot of wishful thinking on the part of the Republicans and the Tea Party.
If a Tea Partier wants to use just a little logic, think about this: As we know it takes collaboration with other representatives to get any results for your state, well Harry Reid has that clout. Now, How long would it take for Sharron Angle to build that collaboration to do anything for Nevada? Therefore, are the Tea Party about doing the best for Nevada or what?
We don't stand a chance in hell with Angle of getting anything soon for Nevada if elected. She's not mentally, intellectually or otherwise capable of performing what Nevada needs, let along what the country needs as far as her wanting to destroy social security and other benefits we have paid into.
Yes, you will find out in November that the Tea Party is out of touch with REAL America !!
The Tea Party needs to research the facts about issues and face the truth, such as: 95% of America did get a tax reduction-including them. This is what they wanted and was so dumb as not to even know when asked.
It took the Republican Party 8-years to get us in this situation with all the incentives given to big business and they created a real mess of things. Now, that we are getting financial reform, they still want to drive up the deficit with extended tax breaks for the wealthy of over 4-trillion dollars. I thought this is what they were against, what gives? Now that is Idiotic!!
Stay the course America, we''ll overcome these Republican mistakes and give America back to America and not to the RADICAL CAPITALIST AND BIG BUSINESS.

This November the American people have what will be a final opportunity to neuter the Obama, Pelosi, Reid Marxist descent into the financial abyss of their long coveted Socialist utopia; and, to salvage our cherished Constitutional Republic - constructed on the wisdom of our Founders - by voting a massive rejection of the Obama agenda. An agenda that has poised our country on the precipice of bankruptcy and mortgaged our children's future with an unsustainable, abhorrent debt burden to accommodate Obama's "re-distribution economics". Referring to recent AP photographic imagery, that is readily understandable, depicting Obama in a total state of confusion as how to pass thru an open gate with an umbrella: "Would you entrust your economic future to an individual who has demonstrated that he does NOT even have the mental acuity (i.e. common sense) to transit an open gate with an umbrella?" A task that even a grammar school child could negotiate without hesitation.
It is not sufficient to demonstrate an ability to recite a prepared text from a teleprompter to merit presiding over the most powerful Nation in the history of mankind. But yet, we managed to elect just such a man with that SOLE qualification; and, who has proven many times to be a babbling idiot without his teleprompter crutch. Is it any surprise that the recent Bob Woodward publication has verified Obama to be an indecisive and hesitant decision maker who is presiding over a dysfunctional WH? While Obama dithers, American troops are dying in combat to the call of an uncertain trumpet.
The challenge confronting our current generation is just as great as the burden bestowed on our Founding Fathers at the origin of our republic. We have the choice of either a passive submission to the slickster teleprompter readings of Obama's "fundamental transformation of America" into his Marxist vision -OR- we can answer the call of our forefathers to respond with militant patriotism to relegate Obama and his minions such as Harry Reid and to the trash-heap of failed despots.
Will sufficient numbers of our citizenry meet the urgent challenge to preserve our cherished Constitutional Republic this coming November! Greg Neubeck
Yeah, these women mean it! They mean to castrate the free-spending Parties of Elitist idiots who think We the People are your ATM! Reid, Pelosi, Hoyer, Frank, McConnell, McCain, and Snowe are all guilty of thinking the country can't live without your brilliance! You are WRONG!
Biden, you're an idiot and a fool! You and the "moderate" Republicans have been running rough-shod over us for far too long!
You're outta here!
Chuck-Norris, your Spanish is not very good. Google translate fail. What does "ir elejir" mean? Go vote? No verb conjugation. No "a" after the verb "ir."
Try "vayan a votar." That way you wont sound like a gringo.
@LastThroes,
Newt's R's were in charge of congress from 1995 onward, guess when Clinton had a surplus? 1998 onward if you cared... Bush had a R congress until 2007, guess when the deficit started ballooning? The D's complained that the Iraq was was preventing a surplus, which was true, but the R's have an argument as well that the D's have ObamaCare, Stimulus, unfunded spending, and other entitlements they passed which is the deficit now and is 10 TIMES as large. The legislative branch controls spending, so if you want to blame Bush you are partially right, he was as bad is the current crop of D's. Can you even remember how good things were in 2006, the last time R's controlled Congress? The hole is really 4 years long, not 10...
Mr Biden,
May I pesent the 1st amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The first concerns presented for a need of separating the church and state was in a personal letter by one of our founding fathers NOT in the constitution and NOT there for a reason.
Anyone who can see a statement referring to the separation of church and state is a person who can also see the advantages of Obamacare, Cap and Tax, etc. The rest of us (unfortunately for the left come November 2nd) can not.
"If my opponent wants to run on her constitutional expertise, she should at least know what's in it."
Vise Presednt Joe Biden
Well said Joe

I can't believe even 500 people decided to show up to see this clown.
TheSunWill: "We are cleaning up the mess you republicans left behind for the past eight years...it may take awhile but we'll get it back and don't forget this...we're not going back.. OK."
The 'past eight years' would include 2 years of Obama as president and 6 with Democrats controlling both the house and the senate. Are you Democrats so ignorant to ignore the fact that the Democrats have controlled Congress since 2006 and from 2001 to 2004...so where do you ignoranuses keep coming up with Republicans controlled things for 8 years? Stop watching MSNBC and reading the DailyKos and HuffPo and learn something will you.
LastThroes: "President Clinton left a gift-wrapped $315bn budget surplus behind for Inept George to do as he pleased."
You do know that that 'surplus' was a projection correct? Do a little research before you repeat the Democrat talking points.
'THE EPITOME OF ARROGANCE'
Former President George W. Bush on Tuesday night defended his decision to bail out banks toward the end of his term, saying the call "wasn't that hard."
"I made the decision to use your money to prevent the collapse from happening," Bush said during a speech in Tyler, Texas, according to reports from The Associated Press and other outlets.
Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/101...
I find it quite amazing that this "carbon unit" would stand there and so boldly state that "I made the decision to use your money"..."wasn't that hard" and yet so many posters here would like to blame Senator Reid and President O'Bama for the Wall Street bail out.
Talk about trying to rewrite history, or is this a preface to his new book?
Any non-generic, fact-based comments from the GOP supporters? What has Reid (or anyone for that matter) done that can be termed "socialism"? Seems like the Dems are finally starting to turn the country around economically, after 6+ years of GOP failure. Health care reform is needed and should go further. Why would anyone support Angle? She doesn't have 1/2 the intelligence that Bush Jr. even had and has no real plan, other than to cut investment in our country and rip the left. I know chimps who can do that.
RevPettibone...the reason that your fathers Republicans didn't argue with Democrats was that they were smart enough to know that the GOP was the party of the rich so they kept their head down, kept a low profile and elected many moderates. They knew the game they were playing and played it well.
Today's GOP Teabaggers are so stupid that they don't even understand that they are controlled and minupulated by a precious few uber-rich. Thier bluster is the gibberish of fools, John Birchers and KKK type racists.
YOUR POPULIST MASTERS
The Tea Party is a Republican shell company; it's always been obvious. Rove types created it after destroying the Republican Party's credibility. Right wing businesses creating unemployment and sending jobs overseas, right wing tea party types tricking the infamously naive right wing base.
From the Wash Post:
But the angry have been deceived and exploited by posers who belong to the same class of "elites" and "insiders" that the Tea Party movement supposedly deplores. Americans who want to stick it to the man are instead sending money to the man.
Consider the candidates on the ballot next month who are getting Tea Party support. In the Connecticut Senate race, there's Linda McMahon, who with her husband has a billion-dollar pro-wrestling empire. The challenger to Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold in Wisconsin, Ron Johnson, is a millionaire manufacturing executive. The former head of Gateway computers, Rick Snyder, is spending generously from his fortune to win the Michigan governor's race.
In New York, the Republican gubernatorial candidate is developer Carl Paladino, with a net worth put at $150 million. And Rick Scott, running for governor in Florida, has a net worth of $219 million from his career as a health-care executive. Then there's California, where the Republican Senate nominee is former Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina and the gubernatorial candidate is former e-Bay boss Meg Whitman.
There is one part that ol' Joe got dead on:
"These women, mean it. They mean it. It would be different if it were a campaign tactic. But they mean it."
to Last Throes....
That myth liberals like you claim all to often has become a standing joke. Whether its as you say $315Billion or the real number being kicked around of $133Billion, the surplus you say Clinton gave Bush didn't exist.... Sorry my friend, but you're touting pure science fiction. Truth is, Mr Clinton just did some fancy juggling of the books and took funds from Social Security and other entitlements and used them in his projected 2001 budget, then buried that public debt in the books under 'Intergovernmental Holdings'.
It didn't make any difference to Clinton when he did it, he'd be out of office by the time it surfaced...... When the money Clinton had popped outta the entitlements surfaced, it added approximately $128Billion to the 2002 deficit right off the bat....... Why do you think Al Gore had stressed creating a "Social Security Lock Box" during the debates of 2000?
When you learn more about how money was accounted for back then, it makes you wonder what really went on in the Clinton White House.
At this point whether or not Mr Bush added to the deficit isn't important to me, but I will dispute and/or defend cause and effect... Remember, there was 9/11 and the immediate down turn in the economy that went along with it. Both required a large injection of money in to the system to stave off panic and keep the Nation functioning... I don't know about you, but I didn't return either of the $400.00 checks that were sent out to all tax payers. And I sure as hell don't know anyone that said "thanks, but no thanks" and sent their checks back to Uncle Sam. Do you ?????
I have to take another minute or so to continue disputing that very last part of your comment; because that's where I really take issue with you..... and no one in DC was blameless. Given my druthers, I'd like them all to take a hike. Sure Bush spent money... but the Democrats aren't blameless, they helped him. However what you're refusing to acknowledge, is how in 2004 the Republicans repeatedly started the calling for restraint in the mortgage market. However, both Barney Frank and Chris Dodd led the left in refusing to cooperate with the administration. Democrats moved against the Republicans and are responsible for putting up every road block imaginable to block Bush's efforts to right what he believed was bad financial practices in Washington..
Hey Dope (name fits),
Maybe you wanna do some research next time? The GOP has controlled the House and Senate from 1995-2007. 2001-2003 was 50/50 but obviously we had a noble VP/Senate Pres. in Dick "I made billions off our innocent soldiers" Cheney, to break those ties, and he always did for the right. The fact that you seem to exempt people like Cheney from your argument shows you have no credibility whatsoever. No surprise you support that dolt Angle.
Here's a link to prove I'm correct and Dope is a dope: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0774721.h...
to notacon....
Much easier for you to lob accusations rather than respond with fact..... but what the hell, that's what nouveau-liberalism has taught you to do. Getting caught up in the duplicity and misplaced trust has convinced you to espouse independence is achieved by drawing a populace nigh.....well then, "Delusional" be your middle name not mine.

Hey dippy... Chucky called me one of the most intelligent and thoughtful commenters on this discussion site.
The economy went over the edge before Obama took office.The policys of Bush Jr. sealed our fate long before Obama thought about running for President.Starting 2 unfunded wars while cutting taxes for the wealthy and doing nothing while Health Care costs doubled during his 8 disastrous years condemed this country to being China's whipping boy.Sharon Angle???. You must be kidding.
Best to leave this buffoon in the bar where he belongs.
Dear Nevada,
We found something of yours and want you to have it back. It's annoying, embarrassing, lies like a dog, and answers to Harry. We think you'll want to hide him away somewhere so everyone will stop laughing at you.
Sincerely,
The rest of the nation
Joe Biden where have you been in the last 27 years, in the U.S. Senate, you sat their and watch the United States go from being prosperous, productive and energetic, to a nation of high poverty, unemployment and socialism. Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell have nothing to do with that. Joe Biden, you ram Health Care Reform, credit card act and foreclosure aid down our throats, and made matters worst, Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell did not. Joe Biden you and your friend Harry Reid watched as jobs went overseas, pass legislation in favor of unions and against companies and businesses, raised taxes where republicans had to come in and make it a fair playing field, Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell did not. Joe Bide it not that Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell are extreme, it that you and your friends, Harry Reid, Dina Titus and Shelley Berkeley are reckless with tax payers money, business, foreign affairs, health care, finance, social security, and medicare. Joe Biden tell it like it is, Harry Reid and yourself have a total of 51 yrs in the senate and you have destroyed everything that America stood for, now we the middle class have to repair, finance and save the nation from total destruction. VOTE FOR SHARON ANGLE, extreme, think not. Harry Reid, reckless, the proof is in the pudding.
Sharron Angle has offended virtually every demographic, psychographic, cultural/ethnic group in Nevada
She has managed to do all this while avoiding most media.
Now we have learned she is taking money from anti-gambling sources. This is unacceptable Nevada

Greedy republicans destroyed our economy.
That's the truth that they can't handle.

George Bush and republicans lied us into IRAQ.
COST US OVER 2 TRILLION DOLLARS.
Republicans are still sending our jobs to
COMMUNIST CHINA.
And these nut-cases want their power back?
Now they want to steal our Social Security and
health care.
SHARRON ANGLE IS WORSE THAN GEORGE BUSH!
Sorry, but I have read the First Amendment multiple times and I still can't see anything about "separation of church and state." The only mention of religion is the prohibition of Congress to establish a religion or the free practice of any religion. Isn't this really the "Establishment Clause?" Based upon Reid and Biden's belief, the Declaration of Independence should be declared "unconstitutional!" After all, the entire document interweaves mention of God and government!!!
Amendment I of the Constitution states "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,..."
I believe Christine O'Donnell, Sharon Angle and those challenging the "establishment", have a far better grasp of what the framers had in mind than the derelicts that have been bastardizing the very document that grants and limits their powers.
I'm all for radicals that would seek to restore the throttling of a federal machine run amok.
First, who listens to Joe "GAFFE" Biden. But, when you talk EXTREME, what is more extreme than the Democrats attempting to make our country a Socialists country. I would much rather be extreme on the right than the left.
Besides Harry Reid does NOTHING for the residents of Nevada, and Hides behind closed doors what he rams down everyone else's throats.
Remember the date, January 3, 2007. Nearly 4 years ago. That's the day that Democrats took over the Congress of the United States. That day, January 3, 2007, the DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77. The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%, and the Unemployment rate was 4.6%. The Republican congress and George Bush's Economic policies had set a record of 52 straight months of job creation.
That was also the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? ... That's right!... BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!!!
So, thank you Democrats for rescuing us from a 13,000 DOW, 3.5% GDP and 4.6% Unemployment... Thank you for protecting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from George Bush's intrusive oversight - President Bush asked Congress 17 times to regulate Fannie & Freddie starting in 2001 because he knew it was financially risky for the US economy.
Actually, it was only the last two years that the Bush admin. went south . . .Surprise - that's when the Democratic congress appeared. Before that, he had to deal with 9/11, and we were recovering from that, but again, the Democratic congress came in, economy went south again. See any pattern here?
GREEDY REPUBLICANS DESTROYED OUR ECONOMY, PERIOD.
No amount of repunlican lies will ever change
that fact.
Republicans are liars, crooks and thieves,
THEY CAN'T HELP IT.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT.
To Teamster,
The notion that "greedy republicans" destroyed the economy is funny.
Are you aware that the CEO's of ALL the big banking/money institutions, such as, BofA, Morgan Stanley, etc. are all very liberal democrats?
The dirty secret the democrats don't want you to know is that the Wall Street "fat cats" the dems rail about are all progressive democrats themselves who know their buddies in DC, i.e. all the dems and big government republicans, will bail them out when they make risky business decisions.
This reminds me of the other dirty little secret the dems don't want you to know. Heavy gov't regulation favors big business. Who do you think has the money to lobby these congressman for more regulations...big business.
Big business favors heavy regulation because it makes it almost impossible for new but smaller competitors to enter the market, thereby guaranteeing the larger competitors stay in business despite poor business models.
So the idea that regulation helps the little guy is a total lie.
This line from the story is telling: Biden argued the job for Nevada voters isn't simply to protect one of the Democrats' most powerful incumbents, but to halt the wave of Tea Party candidates who would make it "more difficult to govern."
That could be translated as Biden wants Nevada to keep a party tool in place so the Democrats can have an easier time cramming things down our throats.
Harry Reid's priorities are no longer aligned with Nevada's, and haven't been since he became Majority Leader. For all the good he might have done in the past, he has traded it all for the trappings of power.
THAT is why he needs to go.
We all know the oft-repeated saying that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Well, where does Harry fit on the curve between "power" and "absolute power" as Majority Leader?
The economy went south because of credit default swaps, slicing and bundling of all kinds of mortgages, no oversight by regulators etc., etc. not because of a Democratic Congress.
This is an example of a fallacy that is repeated again and again in this election year: "post hoc, proctor hoc"--because something came after something else does not mean that the first caused the second. Nevadans fall into this fallacy when they say "our unemployment is terrible and Harry Reid is senator, therefore Harry Reid caused unemployment." As pointed out countless times, you could just as well argue that it's because Gibbons is gov. or Ensign is senator.
Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Leader Harry Reid spoke to a full house of about 500 people. Of course about one half were security and staff people.
CarrotTop draws far larger crowds..
Only A short time to the end. Goodbye Harry Goodbye Biden, Goodbye Heathcare, Hello America your back. Vote Nov. 2nd,
What a joke. It makes them sound even MORE stupid when they say things like this, so keep it up Joe! And how are those hair plugs working out, buddy???
Joe Biden leaves microphone on catching Harry Reid whispering to Joe that he thinks that Sharron Angle is HOT!
Anyone that says it was all Bush's fault should study history. . .they're just mocking what the main stream media says. It's all the Dems can say because they can't talk about the truth. (14% unemployement)
"That could be translated as Biden wants Nevada to keep a party tool in place so the Democrats can have an easier time cramming things down our throats."
Could be translated as? He said it in plain English, there's no need to spin it, boftx.
Why do republicans always insist on "translating" plain words?
I believe what he was addressing was the very reason you support Sharron Angle: she's an overzealous obstructionist. She has a well-documented history of foregoing simple compromise and ignoring her constituents in the service of her extreme views.
"so the Democrats can have an easier time cramming things down our throats. Harry Reid's priorities are no longer aligned with Nevada's, and haven't been since he became Majority Leader."
Yet you support a woman who regularly votes against the wishes of her constituents? She has hard-nosed ideologies (such as her stance on forcing rape victims to give birth to their attacker's children) which a strong majority of Nevadans find abhorrent.
Every single one of those 44-to-Angle votes are proof that she has no concern with representing her constituents, she only cares to represent her own narrow and selfish ideology.
You're arguing against a vote for Sharron Angle.
Facts: the anti-left....
[So the idea that regulation helps the little guy is a total lie. ] ......................................till the oil spill or nuke spill or coal ash spill is prevented or some little guy doesn't get sick from the chemicals he is exposed to on the job working for the big corporations
Mr Potato Head Joe Biden is a real trip. It is amusing to be lectured by a lobotomized plagiarist --- but at least he realizes that ideas rule the world. You'll never catch Joe Biden plagiarizing John Locke, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry, et alia --- he'd be painting himself into a corner on the matter of high taxes, oppressive government regulations, and OhBummer's dumb-axx Healthcare Hijacking scheme. Biden should take Dingy Harry Reid by the hand and go jump into the Grand Canyon.
the real Chuck-Norris would kick the poster Chuck-Norris out of the country...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MHpvTj86...
"till the oil spill or nuke spill or coal ash spill is prevented or some little guy doesn't get sick from the chemicals he is exposed to on the job working for the big corporations"
News Flash: Those things happen even with heavy regulation.
Let local communities set their own regulations. If companies expose people to harm - then they will be sued in a court of law and pay compensation. If this happens enough the company will either go bankrupt or the shareholders whose shares are losing value will demand reform and accountability.
See, this is how the free market works. America should try it again - its what made this country great at one time.
Let people make their own choices - If someone voluntarily wants to work for less than minimum wage to get their foot in the door at a good company - then who is the government to tell them they can't negotiate their own wage with the employer - they should be allowed to do so.
Try freedom - it works.
Old Harry is in the corner and Biden has the gloves on. What kind of a boxer were you, Dirty Harry?
All those 44-to-Angle votes should prove that any fears that Democrats may have about her trying to phase out Social Security or take action on other, shall we say "unusual" positions are completely groundless.
On the other hand, Reid wants to "reform" immigration (read make permanent the job loss due to illegal workers), and if he remains Majority Leader he will be in a position to make whatever backroom deals he needs to achieve that.
Almost all of Reid's backers here on the Sun comments have said how powerful he is now. How much corruption does that power translate into?
I have to admit, I do get a kick out of the Reid campaign having the gall to call anyone else "extreme". You know, since Reid is pretty extreme himself... extremely corrupt, extremely self-serving, extremely arrogant, extremely out of touch, etc....
I-Burn: As opposed to Angles extreme stupidity, extreme arrogance, extreme self-centered views, extreme racism, extreme insensitivity to the plights of others, extreme hypocrisy....
Somebody tell Biden that Harry "the juice" Reid and himself have been running the economy for last 4 years. How long does the inherited thing last anyway?
Enjoyed Harry's debate defending his "The war is lost" statement. Too funny!
The only thing Reid, Pelosi, and Obama have accomplished for America is making us all poor and dependent upon the Nanny State that they want to rule over. That does not equal freedom nor does it reflect the ideas that our for-fathers had when the created our Constitution and Bill of Rights. The ideas from the Democrat party are more in step with a Third World Dictatorship.
This economic mess, the worst since the great depression, was caused by deregulation of Wall Street and the banks by the Republicans. Even Alan Greenspan invested money with Bernard Madoff; what a joke! Remember that George Bush wanted to invest social security funds in Wall Street. What an additional mess that would have made. Nevada's economy is bad because we depend almost entirely on gaming. When the economy was booming, Las Vegas and Nevada were growing extra ordinarily, however, when the economy turns bad then people cut down on gambling thus the resulting present bad condition of Nevada. The good times were also the cause of the highest drop out rate in the U.S. as jobs in the casinos did not promote education and paid rather well. Now, the drop out rate will actually decrease as people will realize that the easy jobs are gone. Diversification of our economic base is what Nevada needs and renewable energy, such as Geothermal and Solar, will do much in promoting Nevada's recovery.
As far as Sharon (Wrong) Angle is concerned she wants to eliminate Social Security, eliminate the Dept. of Education, privatize the V.A., deregulate health insurance companies so that they don't have to cover preexisting conditions, eliminate abortion entirely so that even incest and rape are not included and states that the US Constitution does not establish/promote the separation of Church and State. So Wrong Angle has pissed off the elderly, veterans, students, everyone who needs health insurance, victims of rape and incest, constitutionalists and the unemployed.
Sharon Angle and her compatriot Republican Brian Sandoval also want to enforce Arizona type laws and support people such as Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpai. Thus, the people of Nevada need to make sure that Angle does not get elected and neither does Sandoval.
The Hispanic community can ensure that both these people are not elected. If we want our state to improve economically then we definitely do not want Sharon Angle as our Senator. At the same time just by voting for none of the above may, by default, may help elect these extremist people to represent our great state. Please vote for Harry Reid and if you have any problems with his policies then contact his office and voice your opinion. Since the population of Nevada is approximately 25% Hispanic; thus the Republicans do not want Hispanics to vote. The Hispanic community can make the difference in this election to ensure that Angle and Sandoval are not elected.
"Almost all of Reid's backers here on the Sun comments have said how powerful he is now. How much corruption does that power translate into?"
If you want to fall back on trite cliches rather than reasoned argument, be my guest, but you're essentially arguing that Sharron's seeking office in order to become corrupted, since you seem to think - quite bizarrely - that anyone with authority or power is corrupt.
Boftx, exactly how is Reid, himself, corrupt? What evidence do you have that he is corrupt? I'd be happy to argue with facts, rather than rhetoric.
The entire power = corruption thing makes me giggle. That isn't even an argument, it's just a cliche.
So you don't mind that Sharron regularly votes against the wishes of her constituents? That she's headed to Washington to pursue her own, extreme agenda without regard to what her constituents want?
TonyCrago, even assuming you're correct, what do you care what other countries think of the US? Why does it matter? Americans don't need to answer to anyone other than themselves. I'm sick of Democrats whining about what the world thinks. Or rather what they believe the world thinks. Funny, it always seems to align with their own personal beliefs too... How strange.. Anyway, back to your screed... Bill Clinton certainly didn't think of the WMDs as phony, not did most of the Democrats in the Congress. As for "almost destroyed our economy"...Hmmmm, are you aware that the economy grew very nearly to the day that Democrats assumed control? How does that equate to what you claim?
ksand, I have said several times that I detest some of Angle's views. That said, I think that Reid can do far more harm to Nevada and the country than Angle can.
I consider Angle to be powerless when it comes to those views I detest. I can not say the same about Reid and his views that I detest. Therefore I would prefer to have Angle in the Senate instead of Reid, she is the lesser of two evils.
Note to the Obama Administration: INHERITANCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR MAKING A BAD SITUATION FAR WORSE. You have done the opposite of everything you should have done and as a result our standard of living is declining.
Now let me make this perfectly clear...
I am not voting for Sharron Angle, I am voting against Harry Reid. And I think I have plenty of good company.
Democrats should be more concerned about Harry Reid's lack of approvals instead of Sharron Angle's approvals.
TonyCrazo states: "If you support racists like Mike Johns and the rest of the teabaggers, then by all means, vote for racists like Sharon Mangle."
Yes sir, that Tony is one really nice guy. I am glad he voted for Harry Reid...
Has anyone seen that debate between Tea Party candidate for Senate, O'Donnell and the Democratic candidate, Coons? How anyone can espouse the view that nowhere in the constitution does it provide for separation of church and state (O'Donnell, Angle) is stunning in its ignorance. I'm no constitutional scholar but shouldn't one have a basic understanding of the document if one is running for the senate? That debate between O'Donnell and Coons, and some of the statements by Angle regarding church and state are mind boggling.
BREAKING NEWS IS OLD NEWS...
TonyCrazo is referring to a couple of polls that were conducted PRIOR to the Reid-Angle debate.
The Rasmussen poll was conducted on October 17th and showed Angle 50% and Reid 47%.
The Mason-Dixon poll was conducted on October 12 and showed Angle 48% and Reid 46%.
Guess the Liberal Controlled TonyCrazo has missed it again...
I bet it took less than 10 seconds for Heidi Harris to send BobbyG's email message to the trash can.
iamwinkler,
Let me start my saying that I do not like the argument I am about to make, but it *is* legitimate. I personally believe that religion has no place in government or our laws.
That said, the First Amendment says that Congress shall not establish a State Religion. Elsewhere in the Constitution it states that no test of faith shall be required to hold office.
Nowhere does there actually appear the phrase or statement of the doctrine of "separation of Church and State." The doctrine has been inferred from what I said earlier. Many people feel that the doctrine has been taken too far and have advanced much better arguments than what I just summarized.
There is some basis for those arguments when it comes to display of religious symbols for holidays and memorials on public property. Most of the arguments revolve around favoritism vs. prohibition vs. free speech. Prayer by students outside the classroom at lunchtime bible studies is another good example.
O'Donnell's main problem was that she could not articulate the argument in a fashion that allowed others to consider what she said in a logical fashion.
Now if you want to nail her for her ignorance of other amendments be my guest. :)
What time does Harry have to be back at the home?
TONYCRAGO...... The only poll is the one after the election. Angle will win because she is saying the things that most people are saying. U can say whatever u want re Anle but I say Dingy Harry with all his power has gotten Nevada Zilch when it cones to Stimulus money. What has he done for us that u really be proud of. i will give some things that make me dislike him with PASSION. He and Obama put thru a health plan that very few people wanted(remember the money that was being sent to Louisiana and Florida to get their votes) how about the unions? Can u relate to the unions having a great salary ,paid Health plan,retirement benefits. Guess who loves the Unions ? It's not Angle. What about ILLEAGALs ? harry is ready to grant them amnesty with little consequences.This was once a great country but not anymore . You are in for a rude awakening come 2010 and 2012!
TonyCrazo's talking points:
"...right wingers approve of racism. You hate African Americans and Hispanics."
"You hate workers but love big corporations."
"You hate freedom."
just exercised my right to vote this afternoon...No mama grizzlies, no Angles, all dems. What will all you TEA BAGGERS do when your referendum on ObamaCare fails? Maybe you can Nominate Mama Bear as your potus candidate and give her IEP ANGLE as a running mate.
chazbean......
Yes, greedy republicans hate unions, that's why
we have a high unemployment rate.
Greedy republicans sent most of our good jobs to
COMMUNIST CHINA.
As for American jobs, greedy republicans pay
workers low wages with no benefits.
The average Walmart worker will never retire.
That's the republican dream, slave workers with
no retirement.
But, Sharron Angle and her husband will have
a government retirement and goverment health
care.
You republicans who support her are just flat
stupid.
Biden is not the brightest guy in the world. He is just a political hack from Delaware. He knows nothing about the troubling issues here in Nevada. The Dems can bring in Biden or Obama here a hundred times and it is not going to change things except cost us millions for AirForce One and security. Virtually everyone I know has already made up their mind. A waste of the public's money but the Democrats could care less.
Democrats have never seen a waste of the public's money...
Hey NVFisherman.....
Vice President Joe Biden is THE MAN.
Joes' support is always welcome.
You are correct in that most people's minds are
already made up but Joe Biden and President Obama
will put Harry Reid over the top.
Harry Reid is on his way to a SOLID WIN.
Comment removed by moderator. Post in all caps.
Obama and Biden won't help Reid, especially when you start talking about unions. There is far more "buyer's remorse" in this town than elsewhere. Many of us wanted Hillary, not Obama, but unions and Reid changed that here in Nevada.
We're already upset over the county union contracts, Obama just rubs our noses in it when he says he needs Reid. He's damned right he does, we could (and should) have had Hillary.
It's time to give Obama the same advantage Bill had, a Republican Congress. It's time they all learned the meaning of "compromise" again.
Since when do republicans compromise?
That's a laugh.
We're keeping the House and the Senate.
You republicans destroyed our economy and you
need to keep your nose out of it for at least
10 or 20 years.
"It's time they all learned the meaning of "compromise" again."
I'm sorry boftx, you're just entirely inconsistent.
You can't, in one comment, decry the need for compromise, while in another, openly advocate a candidate whose track record is a refusal to compromise on anything. You think compromise is necessary, that's why you're voting for someone who refuses to compromise?
Name ONE THING Angle has compromised on.
Just one.
Of course I can.
It doesn't matter what Angle does, the rest of the party will override her when needed, and the Democrats will find it impossible to shut down a filibuster without working across the aisle.
Angle does not represent the mainstream Republican Party, but she doesn't need to. The big problem right now is that both parties have to march in lockstep with their respective leadership. Moving towards more of a balance will mean that lockstep is no longer workable.
If the Democrats retain control of the Senate, which they probably will, they will need to gain more than just 2 votes to break a filibuster. That will require real compromise.
By the same token, the Republicans will need to avoid having the far right elements dictate their agenda, and to do that they will need to work with the Democrats to some extent.
Having a *few* TEA Party people in there will force both mainstream groups to work together.
No thanks, boftx.
Those "few" bad apples will ruin the whole batch.
Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black said it in 1947. IT IS NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION.
Neither a state nor the Federal Government can, openly or secretly, participate in the affairs of any religious organizations or groups and vice versa. In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect 'a wall of separation between church and state.' [Majority opinion in Emerson v. Board of Education, 330 U.S. 1 (1947)]
Reid/Obumma job-killing EPA at it again. Tax and regulate back to the stone-age anyone? Vote for Dims and radical environmentalism.
A recent study by the Manufacturer's Alliance/MAPI finds that EPA's proposed revision of the "primary" (health-based) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for ozone would have devastating economic impacts, such as:
http://www.mapi.net/Filepost/ER-707.pdf
Impose $1 trillion in annual compliance burdens on the economy between 2020 and 2030.
Reduce GDP by $687 billion in 2020 (3.5% below the baseline projection).
Reduce employment by 7.3 million jobs in 2020 (a figure equal to 4.3% of the projected labor force in 2020).
Angle and her wealthy backers just connin' average workin' folks into thinkin' they actually care about them. All they want are more tax-cuts for the rich!

What turns my stomach most is the ignorance of the American voters who believe that the tea party candidates are right for America, and, that they are right for the working class.
Bluejeans, the Kochs love the country. Unlike Soros, who hates it and provides the funding for it's demise.
Harry's "Climate" taxes will finish off the middle class via energy poverty. The Dims depend on this ignorance to get re-elected via creating victims.
What do you do...what do you HAVE to do, if you don't have the solutions to the problems, laid before you?
You exercise the only survival option that remains, you play...the BLAME GAME.
The winner gets to collect unemployment benefits for 4 years, until the next round of...the BLAME GAME.
There...does that explain this whole political thing a little better for you?
I realize that most people don't like to think about it but when the TARP passed, it was passed by both houses of Congress and that meant that the Senate which Harry Reid controlled and Barack Obama was a member voted to pass it. Had Harry Reid not wanted this and had any control over the Democrats in the Congress, he could have stopped it. I have never held Bush blameless in that or many other areas but it is annoying to have people put all of the blame on him when a Democratic Congress was complicit in the deal. And Bush only used about half of the TARP money and handed the rest to incoming President Obama, so using or not using that is on him. We have people here talk about short memories but they seem to be as much (if not more) partisan than short.
Bottom line here is that the Dems are scrambling for anything now and it's NOT WORKING! Oh yes, they'll wallow in the mud to find some nasty little tidbit. Just like yesterday I got a pre-recorded call, "this is a message from sharron angle", but my caller id said Nevada democratic party and the tape was totally messed up! Nice try-a failure to be sure! VOTE SHARRON ANGLE FOR SENATE!! VOTE LAURIE BISCH FOR SHERIFF!!
"Bluejeans, the Kochs love the country. Unlike Soros, who hates it and provides the funding for it's demise."
"Those "few" bad apples will ruin the whole batch."
For the Kochs, Soros & co ?
floozy, what most people forget is that Reid and Pelosi refused to pass TARP without a minimum percentage of Republicans voting for it, too. The Democrats had the votes they needed to pass it on their own, but refused to do so. The Republicans have been blamed ever since.
Hey lvelegante... I got the same phone call the other evening. I always look at the caller ID before I pick up the phone. Anyway, the caller ID showed call was from the Democrat Party but the message was a prerecorded message using Sharron Angle's voice. It did not take me long to hang up...
No dirty tricks are beneath Harry Reid and friends...
Dear old Joe Biden, the poster boy for rude, rash, racist gaffes and malaprops does it again. Complaining about Angle and O'Donnell and many others Joe makes clear his own basic operating principal - it's OK to lie to get elected. These ladies aren't lying, they are telling the truth, and that's repugnant to the old politician. "These women mean it. It would be different if it were a campaign tactic. But they mean it."
My cynical great uncle, now deceased, used to say "In any one election the better liar generally gets elected; and the best liar overall gets to be president."
I think we've got enough liars already in Washington and I'm ready to vote for someone who seems to be able to share their truth, though it may not be exactly mine, or impolitic. Let's elect someone not contaminated by politics as usual.
Joe Biden,recently reassured by the President that the rumors to replace him as VP were untrue, is the same VP that said 'jobs' was a three letter word.
Harry Reid should be elated that visits from the top 2 this week will preside over the last of few remaining public appearances as the majority leader.
Yesterday in Reno, harry Reid, with joe biteme campaigning for him, and attemped to belittle the knowledge of Christine O'Connell, and Sharron Angle with respect to our 1st Amendment....even after, they, having had the past few days to actually read the 1st Amendment, since Christine exposed her Democratic opponent in Delaware's ignorance to the same, and of course they should already know this, being our Senate Majority Leader, and Vice President of our Country.
Well they made total asses of themselves, stating that they themselves believe that our 1st Amendment calls for separation of Church and State.
If that were the case, Churches would not be tax exempt, and donations to them would not either. In God We Trust could not be on our money., etc, etc.
I just love it that they are showing how incompetent they are in even being aware of the Constitution that they were sworn to protect.
Where is our news media......this is a huge story.
Its like a race car driver not knowing where the brakes are, a soldier not knowing how to load his weapon, a Attorney not knowing the law, a Doctor not knowing symtoms.........but ya know
who elected these idiots????
Why does Jarred always speak for Angle?
Joe Biden is not creditable; Harry Reid is a multi-term incumbent who has been a part of everything that's wrong with Congress over the last 30+ years. Ms Angle is candid and not PC but these two bozos have called her "too extreme" for Nevada. Since smooth talk, slick promises and guys like Harry Reid didn't change Washington, perhaps it will take some "extreme" new members of Congress to get it done. Obumma promised hope and change....hasn't happened has it? Harry Reid is part of that. Don't be fooled by his rhetoric, Nevada.........get rid of him in two weeks. It's a good start!
right on floozy!
Partisanism has made something called common ground as hard to find as common responsibility for shared failures.
Short memories make heroes out of villains, and vice-versa. The quality of integrity seems a missing element inmost politicians; that gene got squeezed out by greed or power, lust, whatever. It's like asking a skunk to show his antlers or a pig to hang ten.
Sunday, January 20, 2013, the end of an error. With any luck the Reids will be gone sooner.
We should believe Biden.
He once said that he graduated in the top half of his law class but he graduated 75th out 86 students.
He got into trouble in college for turning in papers that others wrote.
He got into trouble for giving speeches that other people had already gave and did not give credit to them.
Biden and Barack America running the country.
I don't live in vegas but I do vacation there. I was not able to come since the republicans made sure that the middle class took the brunt of their get rich plan. Harry Reid will help fix the problems created by the republicans in Nevada, Sharon Angle will run around looking for chickens to offer for service. She will be trying to make sure your children learn her extremism in schools, she is a nut case. Look at those eyes. The people in Nevada I have met would never vote for such a looney toon. I am confident that Harry Reid will continue and will bring good things to the people of Nevada. You can't blame him for what the republicans brought down on this country. Who do you think has been trying to help??? It surly hasn't been the republicans the only thing they can sugguest is more money for their rich friends. Dems all the way. Come on Nevada we are counting on you.
Which Reid will be the first to give their concession speech???
These republican clowns really think they have
a chance to win.
Do they think that Nevadans are stupid?
Not a chance.
The majority of Nevadans will trounce these
crazy, greedy republicans.
I'll bet Heidi gets some good laughs as a result of the liberal loons who bad mouth her! And, aren't the libs wearing-out the word "extreme"? Biden says having conservatives in Congress would "make it more difficult to govern". Translation: It would be harder for the Marxist liberals to cram their socialist agenda down the throats of the American People and impose their tyranny upon this nation.
sooooo ... biden appears to assist reid. oops! this obowma-standin thinks nevada is to be fooled yet again. however, that said, biden is correct (??) from the pelosi/reid/obowma philosophical location in that, for them, reversion to the middle is extreme ... and essential (!!) for the health of the entire country.
Sagehopper....
Impose tyranny upon this nation?
Are you out of your mind?
Do you consider better health care and financial
reform, tyranny?
WOW! Statements like yours are why you republicans
are going to lose again.
"Impose tyranny upon this nation?
Are you out of your mind?"
When the foreign born "terrorists" run out, the domestic breed will take over.
Good reason to vote for Harry Reid:
Harry Reid saved us from a worldwide depression.
NOT!!!
