"...Democrats have a superior turnout machine in Nevada..."

Yes Smurfs, corpses, felons, housecats, illegal aliens, winos and names from the Guadalajara phone book put Harry Reid over the top last year.

Isnt Vice President Plug-Job supposed to be negotiating a deal that keeps the country from going bankrupt in three weeks? Nah, why do that when you can fly to Vegas and threaten your big, fat, violent slob supporters that if they dont back your disastrous policies they'll have to work for a living like the helpless peons who dont have the government backing up their special privileges? The Teamsters are poster boys for the parasitic, corrupt special interests that are destroying our nation. And the destruction starts in Nevada whose economy is a total disaster partly because our lamebrained energy policies have doubled the cost of driving there from California. My battery-powered Volt only gets me to the Indian casino down the road. If a state with an economy like Nevada's can vote for these commies again than it proves you are completely stupid and that you richly deserve the double helping of misery you've had at the hands of the Demo-creeps.

'I had nothing to do with the bad economy'
This denial is the most laughable one I've heard since John Giotti claimed to be the proprietor of a small pizza parlor in Passaic, NJ. "I dont know nuthin'' from the guy who's running touting his great influence in DC. It turns out that Mr. Majority Leader has been locked in the Senate bathroom for the last four years and didnt make a single decision that affected the economy at all! He just voted 'Present'. And Reid is the one calling Angle a nut! He must think Nevadans are pretty stupid if he thinks they'll buy this. Did this year's $1.5 trillion dollar deficit, four times the largest Bush deficit and seven times the deficit before the Dems took over Congress completely pass Harry 'The War Is Lost' Reid by? Did that affect the economy? It's bald-faced mendacity like this that will lose Reid this election. This desperate critter will say or do anything to keep his fangs in America's throat. Lets make sure he doesnt get the chance.

"...Instead, they have tried to scare voters by demonizing the efforts to help the economy, claiming they have failed..."
OOO! Those wascally Wepublicans! For four years Reid and Pelosi have made their tough reputations by buffaloing everyone who got in their way. They passed everything they needed to pass to put their program into action. Of course 15-20% real unemployment, empty storefronts and mass foreclosures are just a happy part of the Recovery Summer that Vice President Biden is so proud of. Now the libs at the Sun have put their finger on the real problem...political opposition to the wonderful Demo policies that just about every darned economist says are great! Its not the fault of Big Brother Economics, its those Evil Republicans who want YOU to starve so they can get elected. If you listen to this guff and vote to re-elect the authors of your misery, Harry Reid & Co., you deserve to live behind a dumpster waiting for your next gubmint handout.

Are these guys kidding? Their taxpayer-provided limousines must have curtains on the windows. The economy is collapsing buddy! If the state raises tax rates revenues will go down as the higher taxes strangle economic activity. We realize that you state employees believe yourselves to have guaranteed lifetime employment with built-in budget increases but in this you are sadly mistaken. The failed Keynesian doo doo is hitting the fan. The tax hike that will take place in January when the Evil Bush Tax Cuts expire will further tank revenues, both for the feds and for the ever more greedy state governments. The university system will be lucky if it doesnt get worse cuts than the one proposed as the state slides into insolvency with the majority of its population.

Reid and his leftist buddies have been sucking up to CAIR and the extremists for decades. Remember Reid whining happily 'The War Is Lost' while our troops were in the field fighting against Harry's terrorist friends? Remember the applause from his fellow Democrats? Since they've had total power Reid and rest of the libs have totally caved in to our enemies. There stood Obama at an Iftar dinner standing with the CAIR crowd, parroting their position. It was a huge political gaffe and Reid, already in political trouble for spearheading the policies that have plunged his unhappy state into a depression, does not want a spotlight turned on his own favoritism towards our enemies. How can any Nevadan look at this lying rattlesnake and think he deserves six more years in the Senate?

Gosh Jon, you write like a guy who gets all his political info from Harry Reid TV commercials, or does Reid's office phone you before you compose each column to make sure you remember how CRAZY that madwoman Angle is? Like every other Reid apologist you seem to be unable to dwell on the Uriah Heep-like Senate Majority Leader's 'accomplishments'. The failed trillion-dollar stimulus bill, tax increases aimed at drying up every penny of disposable income in the nation (gamblin' money), a Crap On Trade electricity tax that will turn out the lights on the Strip and Fremont Street and a general wallowing in the fetid left-wing swamp of Washingtonian political correctness. The tumbleweeds blowing in the streets past the empty storefronts and foreclosed condos arent much of a record to run on, but hey, those are all George W Bush's fault arent they? You shouldnt worry though, Reid and his slimy ACORN buddies might be able to register enough illegal aliens, corpses, Smurfs, mental patients and names from the Guadalajara phone book to put our progressive Majority Leader over the top so he can put through Card Check and a few more tax increases to bankrupt the evil capitalistic United States and return the Las Vegas valley to the noble pristine uninhabited desert that Gaia intended it to be. BTW aint that Angle a nut-ball?

These Dems passed a 2000 page 'Health Care Reform' that nobody read without any hearings in the middle of the night and the dimensions of that disaster are just now beginning to emerge. Now these arrogant leftists present another 2000 page monstrosity without hearings that no one has read and no one understands but since its labeled 'REFORM' everyone is obliged to kowtow and vote 'yes'. The Democrats are a party of Ivy League elitists who have been steeped in the wisdom of crackpot Marxist college professors and who are so ignorant of the real world and so drunk with power that they are incapable of rational thought. They have also shown themselves to be totally without scruple in their quest to control all our lives. This bill bears the names of the two legislators, Dodd and Frank, who are the most responsible for the real estate bubble and financial crash of 2007. Do we really want these two idiots deciding the shape of our financial future? BTW--another reason the vote against Harry 'Uriah Heep' Reid...

None of these people who are so filled with contempt for Sharron Angle have anything good to say about Harry Reid, except that he can get a larger share of the pork that he seems to think will save Nevada from a depression at the hands of a government that wants to confiscate more and more disposable income and is pledged to end individual automobile ownership...in other words totally end the economy of Nevada. If you want people to have less disposable income and you're against individual automobile ownership Harry Reid will certainly be the most effective advocate you could possibly imagine. If you think the insane and misguided policies that have been pursued to the detriment of Nevada for the last two years have gone on for long enough then you will vote for an opponent who is being smeared by a giant multi-million dollar DC special-interest orgy of lies and arrogance. This is David against a very UGLY Goliath.
