You Voted For Harry Reid

Posted in Politics and Society, tagged , , , on March 17, 2011 | 4 Comments »

I have a bone to pick, but not with the many people who voted for Harry Reid because they agree with his principles.  That’s a choice of conscience, and I respect that.  Rather, I wish to criticize those who might have voted for Sharron Angle—probably even would have—but were swayed by Reid’s negative campaigning.  Are [...]

My research for this relied heavily on the endorsements offered by the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Las Vegas Sun, both of which I studied in detail.  I also checked out some other organizations, such as Nevada Concerned Citizens‘ endorsements, my own comments from the primaries, and, of course, I googled each candidate and reviewed their [...]

Harry Reid and the LDS Church

Posted in Politics and Society, tagged , on October 18, 2010 | 6 Comments »

A fascinating article in yesterday’s Las Vegas Sun analyzes the hostile relationship between Nevada’s LDS senator, Harry Reid, and the majority of members of his own faith.  One reason given in the article is that, in 2006, when church leadership supported a proposed constitutional amendment to preserve traditional marriage, Reid not only voted against it, [...]

Anti-Sharron Angle Ad Ideas

Posted in Humor, Politics and Society, tagged , , , , on October 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Harry Reid has spent millions on slick TV and radio ads this election season, and they mostly have the same format: have a regular-Joe kind of person tell a sob story that makes a Sharron Angle position look heartless, then call her crazy and flash a heroic looking picture of Reid.  With that template in [...]

Bill Clinton on the Tea Party

Posted in Politics and Society, tagged , , , on October 14, 2010 | 1 Comment »

In Las Vegas Tuesday, stumping for Harry Reid, former President Bill Clinton said, “You and I know the only reason this is a tough race is because people are having a tough time. When people are mad, it’s time to think.” Translation: “If you support Sharron Angle, it’s only because you’re a poor, confused, lost [...]

New Harry Reid Ad

Posted in Politics and Society, tagged , , on October 3, 2010 | 1 Comment »

In response to a Sharron Angle ad targeting his soft stance on illegal aliens, Harry Reid has launched a big new ad meant to reassure everyone in the suburbs that he’s a staunch foe of all things immigration.  Hey, Harry, you’re not supposed to throw your supporters under the bus until after the election.  If [...]

Is It a Senator’s Job to Create Jobs?

Posted in Humor, Politics and Society, tagged , , , , , on September 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Nevada senate candidate Sharron Angle says it’s not her job to create jobs and incumbent Harry Reid mocks her for it.  Nevada Congresswoman Dina Titus now airs ads likewise slamming opponent Joe Heck for saying the same thing.  This clearly appeals to voters: many are our of work, or know people who are, and we’re all scared.  [...]

At This Rate, Sharron Angle Is Going To Lose

Posted in Politics and Society, tagged , , , , on September 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve been whining about this at home for a month now: in a race where Harry Reid should be about a zillion points behind, he and Sharron Angle are running neck and neck.  Why?  Because Reid has pulled out all the stops and Angle is running a weak, loser campaign that faithfully follows the mold [...]

Et Tu, Sue Lowden?

Posted in Politics and Society, tagged , , , , on July 6, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I previously criticized Republican Senate candidate Sue Lowden for a sleazy, mud-slinging TV ad which insinuated that fellow candidate Sharron Angle was in bed with the Church of Scientology and conspired with them to promote a cushy rehabilitative program for prisoners.  Now that Angle has won the primary and is up against Harry Reid in [...]

Clark County Primary Election Endorsements

Posted in Politics and Society, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 22, 2010 | 39 Comments »

I’ve long considered myself primarily a libertarian politically, but several years ago I registered as a Republican in order to vote in primary elections for offices I otherwise wouldn’t be able to.  For instance, in November, I’ll probably vote for whichever Republican makes it through the primary to oppose Harry Reid in the Senate.  But [...]

Open Season On Sue Lowden

Posted in Politics and Society, tagged , , , , , , on May 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

There’s large field of Republican candidates in Nevada looking to take on Harry Reid in November, but the consistent frontrunner has been Sue Lowden.  This has led to a flurry of vitriol against her, and it’s really disgusting. Reid supporters and Democratic operatives have run wild with all kinds of mischief about Lowden supposedly having [...]

My Dad’s Harry Reid Story

Posted in Humor, tagged on December 29, 2009 | 4 Comments »

My parents moved to Las Vegas in the mid 70′s.  Just after doing so, they realized that, being early into their marriage, they hadn’t yet written their wills.  They went to a local law firm to get it done, and were assigned to young attorney named Harry Reid. Two months passed and they still hadn’t [...]

Is Harry Reid Secretly A Conservative Saboteur?

Posted in Humor, Politics and Society, tagged , , , , on December 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I think I finally get it. I understand why Harry Reid is pushing so aggressively for this health care reform. Remember Atlas Shrugged? Besides John Galt, the capitalist superman recruiting strikers behind the scenes, another freedom fighter was Francisco D’Anconia, who paraded as a worthless playboy so nobody would suspect him of helping to sabotage the whole [...]

Scene From Harry Reid Versus The Mafia!

Posted in Humor, Politics and Society, tagged , on December 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »

In one of his high profile TV campaign ads, Harry Reid has infamously touted the fact that he “took them on and didn’t blink” when “the mob took over Vegas,” even after (so says the ad) “they put a bomb in the family station wagon.” This harrowing adventure inspired the following: Las Vegas, 1981. Don Salami: [...]

Harry Is Running Scared

Posted in Politics and Society, tagged , , , , on October 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Remember the last time Harry Reid was up for reelection?  He barely campaigned at all, running a few token ads near the election, featuring people from his hometown telling folksy stories about him, and calling him “Pinky.”  He could afford to run those nonsense ads because it was a slam dunk campaign–there was no chance he [...]
