   What do you know..a "reel" mystery to be solved. Another conspiracy theory?

   Who caused the all-powerful Harry Reid to reel from the shock??

   The "insider" did it!
   No, I think the butler did it.

   It was Republicans like Spector, McCain, Pataki, Reagan (for Brady Bill) who helped get gun control passed.

   NRA is not supporting Angle, which is the best Reid could hope for.

   In California the NRA supported Democrat Dean Flores over a more pro-gun Republican challenger because they wanted to have some influence in the State Legislature. This is not unusual for them.

   The NRA should never support this corrupt politician, Wait till the voters "snub" Reid; the ultimate snub. Nevada deserves better than a Reid.

   I cannot believe that some out there are stupid enough to vote for Sharon Angle. She makes Bachmann and Palin look like MENSA members. You may not like Harry Reid, but he has protected jobs in Nevada. Any notice all the road work projects in the valley? That's Stimulus money that Sen. Reid brought home. Teachers, police, and firefighters are all saved from drastic cuts.
   That's from Sen. Reid.

   Okay NEVADA, here is the formula for Disaster!

   Sharron Angel *(/) + Tea Party + Palin+ Bush+ Beck = Schizophrenia- is a serious mental illness characterized by a disintegration of the process of thinking and of emotional responsiveness.[1] It most commonly manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction

   Does anyone care about an NRA endorsement? Who does the NRA think they are? I remember when gwbushie was installed in 2001, the NRA was gloating that they would have their own office at the White House. Who the NRA endorses, or not, has no bearing on my vote. The NRA is nobody but a membership organization, they are not all powerful. Should I be swayed by what a bunch of gun nuts think? I think not.

   "Nevada deserves better than a Reid."

   And yet, the Republicans nominated Sharron Angle. I imagine you're incredibly disappointed in them.
