   Let’s hope that tonight Angle drove a wooden stake through Reid’s political heart, burned his casket, and scattered the soil of his native Transylvania over all of Nevada.

   Well done!!!

   Michelle,

   I’ve been a volunteer for her since 2006, washed campaign office windows, stuffed envelopes, mopped campaign office floors, walked neighborhoods, and done a couple of radio VO ads. And also flew her to Searchlight back in March.

   She is the real deal. Just ask Harry.

    I can’t wait to see what the establishment RINOs do once once these new upstarts show up to work. I’m sure there will be a major effort to “educate” them to the reality of Washington. Their first job: topple the party leadership beginning on November 3.

    It is long past the time for “Prince Harry” to abdicate his throne … too bad “San Francisco Treat Pelosi” won’t be ousted as well … can always hope but after all it is still S.F. …

    Just remember everyone … be sure to vote and help get people to the polls … the bigger the turnout the more we lessen the chance of any Democrap skullduggery occuring on election day being successful …

    Then we have to hold the feet to the fire of everyone that is elected to make sure they are held accountable to their constituents … and if they don’t live up to their promises we work to get rid of them next time around …

    This election has to be the beginning of the rebirth of America … it cannot be allowed to end with this one election … apathy got us here … continued vigilance will get us out …

    If Congress won’t give us the “term limits” we all want we just have to impose them ourselves by making sure we put an end to “career politicians” by not continuing to re-elect the same people over and over again … that is a lot of what got us where we find ourselves today …

    Serving in Congress was never intended by the Founders to be a life-long profession … thus the term “citizen representation” … a concept we must return to …

    The way I see it a dead heat is not good enough for a Republican to win these days. They need to win by 4-5% or else the Dems will recount till they manufacture enough votes. Look at WA ST in 2004 when Dino Rossi one the first and second count only to loose on the 3rd count (they are still finding “lost” ballots in Seattle) or the case in 2008 with Coleman loosing to Franken after a recount. Angle did a great jon of sticking to her guns and I hope it helps to show the stark difference between her and the ruling class in DC, enough so to widen her lead.

    Ok, I’m hoping Reid is retired this year, no question. Sharron Angle was feisty, compared to Reid’s semi-comatose demeanor. But I wasn’t overly impressed with either one of them, to tell the truth. Angle accused Harry of suing Arizona; nope, that was the DOJ led by that lyin’ Eric Holder. Yeah, I know, Reid would have if he could have. Reid dodged a yes or no abortion question with a crap weasel answer. Same on English as the official language of the country. Well, it was really not an impressive performance, but Angle won’t vote for the crap the Dems are selling, so that’s enough reason to put her in. Then if she goes off to la-la land in six years, they can replace her with someone better. (Sharron: there’s no sharia law in Frankford, TX, or Dearborn, MI.)

    Actually, The Las Vegas Sun had a series of exposes several years ago about how Harry Reid became so wealthy as a senator. He got put into very cozy real estate deals while making minimal contributions to the purchase of real estate. He risked nothing but reaped all the gain. And the State of Nevada made some curious decisions which just concidentally helped ole Harry.
    BTW, Danny Tarkanian would have cleaned Harry’s clock. Angle may win but most likely will lose a close one.

    Harry dug his own grave when he decided to become Obama’s pet sheepdog two years ago. He served his master well (until recently) by keeping the donkeys from wandering off the Obama reservation. But come November America can retire Harry and and his tax & spend lackeys. It is a shovel-ready project that will Fundamentally transform Congress. And it won’t cost a dime of stimulus money. Let Harry go back to Searchlight and exercise his constitutional right to spend his own money. I hope he spends his as fast as he spent ours.

    Good message from Angle. Unfortunately, here where I live right now (in Caldwell County, North Carolina), I keep hearing ads about “conservative Republicans” and “liberal Democrats”–so much so that it makes me want to vomit.

    So much of the GOP doesn’t get it. I get tired of these worn-out titles and labels. I’m so sick of it that it makes me cringe whenever I listen to it. They just do not have ANY MEANING anymore. I want to hear candidates talk about American exceptionalism, our founding documents, and freedom for CITIZENS of this country, NOT meaningless partisan BS.

    It sounds like Nevada has a good one with Sharron Angle, though…

    Can’t argue that but first things first, Phil. We need to win, then we need to pressure the republicans in the Senate to filibuster everything in the lame duck session. EVERYTHING, nothing gets a vote until the next congress.

    Reid looked slow, lost and didn’t have any answers for anything. All he could say was, “she’s extreme”. No, Harry, you are extreme and soon you will be out of work like many Americans that your policies forced out of their jobs.

    The fact he couldn’t even look at Angle during the debate screamed defeat for Reid. Hard to man-up when you have no balls and no backbone, right Harry?

    Technically correct, but by remaining silent instead of using his clout as the Senate Majority Leader, Reid is aiding and abetting the crime.

    After GWB won his second term, he indicated his desire to “reform” the Social Security program, and one of the reasons it didn’t get anywhere was Reid indicating that Social Security was fiscally sound (even though I was receiving correspondence from the government which indicated otherwise). I’m glad that Angle pressed that issue.

    I realize that Ds and Rs may have different ideas as to what needs to be done in order to revamp Social Security, but a statement that SS was fiscally sound was one of the most irresponsible and reprehensible utterances to come out of Washington D.C., and for that reason alone I feel Reid should be retired from office.

    I’m not sure either, but I suspect that much like CA, elections are controlled by the large urban areas that vote 60-70% dem. In the case of NV the largest voting block is in vegas which I’m sure is majority dem. Outside of vegas I’m guessing there is a majority repubs and independents. Anyone from NV that can explain this?

    There are a lot of California transplants in Nevada, many from other states too. They have brought this liberalism here to what has always been a fairly conservative state.

    The LVRJ reported that Dems now lead Reps in numbers of registered voters and that Independents have had the largest number of new registrations in this election cycle.

    In the north, Harry is toast. Most likely in the rural areas as well. But it is Clark County, home of Las Vegas, where the majority of the populace resides and that is where Harry is most popular.

    Before the primaries, Harry polled very poorly against an unknown opponent. After the primary his numbers got better, mostly because Sharron has been painted as kooky and extreme, neither of which she is, but she has been smeared by the Dems.

    If he wins, it won’t have been the long time Nevadans such as myself who put him there, but the idiots who have moved here to escape the mess they made in their own states.

    What happened to all those moderate “Blue Dog” Democrats that Rahm Emanuel engineered to put into office 2 years ago? They instantly voted to keep Pelosi (extreme liberal) in power and then cowtowed to all her demands even if it violated what they stood for. The Heath care vote debacle was the epitome of that. The emphasis was on dog not blue. Now they are being voted out but they did some real damage along the way.

    Run in the center and then move hard left. Run right and then move to the center? Always moving left, left, left. Is that going to happen to all these conservatives once they butt heads with the Republican establishment?

    Harry Reid got away with saying that he made all his millions as a “successful lawyer’. In reality, he only served as a lawyer in private practice for 2 years of his life. No lawyer makes millions in 2 years. And there is no record of Reid being a great trial lawyer who made millions from personal injury trials and or settlements. To learn where Reid made all his millions, just go the archives of the Las Vegas Sun and you can read the whole sordid story. The MSM won’t cover the story of Reid’s cozy deals but it is all right there in the Las Vegas Sun archives.
    Angle is not nimble enough to really bring home these points about Reid. If Danny Tarkanian had been the GOP candidate, he would have cleaned Harry’s clock. I do not understand why the Nevada primary voters didn’t vote for Tarkanian in a landslide but if Reid escapes with another term, those primary voters who did not vote for Tarkanian should give a public apology to the American people for giving us 6 more years of easy money Harry.

    HI JVETTE–#52. Good analysis on why Dingy Harry is still likely to win. I lived in Reno, Nv. until 1964. It was an evenly divided state then.

    But the wild growth in Las Vegas brought in many more liberal people. And many Black and Hispanic People came to LV for a better social and economic life. And lots of them feel that the DemocRAT party provides better political help for them than the business oriented Republicans do. And all people vote their perceived self interests.

    I used to be a Democrat until President Johnson’s epic fail in the Vietnam War. But my liberal brother still lives in Reno and feels that the Dems are still for the little guy.
