@gmag39 LOL!
This "endorsement" will do little for Mangle other than help people come to the conclusion that the crazy woman endorsed a crazy woman.
Wonder who will play Sharron Mangle on SNL? Can't wait for the new season to start!
Sarah waited until it was apparent that the race was close enough to risk 'endorsing' Sharron so that she can get credit if Sharron wins and little blame if she loses.
Why does anyone give Palin any crediblity at all? She is a no nothing quitter that just happens to be fairly attractive.
the vote for Angle is not only a vote against Reid, but a referendum on the Obama administrations econimc, immigration, bashing profits, gulf oil motatorium, wall street, insurance company, health care, taxes, spending, deficits, and all of the other bad policies Obama?Reid/Pelosi have put in action. America and now Nevada finally says...ENOUGH!! and Sarah Palin, like her or not is one who helps lead this effort.
Awesome !! Do you people really want Dingy Harry Reid back? How pathetic !! Have some backbone and morals and do the right thing! Sharon Angle may not be perfect but Harry Reid is a career politician that will rubber stamp anything his liberal dem masters tell him - just so he can stay in power. Come on Nevada - stand up and make the right decision by removing this man from office. They rest of the nation is counting on you. I guarantee your visitor traffic will pick up once he is gone.
NoVaseline: econimc is really economic; motatorium is really moratorium. "Back to school with ya" as Palin would say.
The more threatened they are, the more they will attack. Both these gals have the left very worried, for good reason.
I'd be surprised if sexy Sarah endorsed some tired looking tea bag. She's all about lip stick politics.
Palin is doing more harm than good at this point, she should just go away.
It is fun watching the establishment Reid squirm, though.
venuspool...
YES.
Most Definitely, we want "Dingy Harry" back.
The "Alternative" is like a Death Sentence for Nevada.
Ensign & Angle...2 Religious Zealots who claim the moral high-ground, but their ACTIONS BELIE THEIR RHETORIC.
Just like MOST Zealots.
Talking the talk, NEVER walking the walk.
Like most of the Right;
"Do as we say, not as we do".
"I can see MEXICO from MY backyard! Well, a lot of Mexicans, anyway! "--if Harry Reid has his way----this is WHAT YOU WILL SEE IN YOUR BACKYARD---AND THEY WILL BE LIVING OFF OF YOUR TAXES LIKE IN CALIFORNIA!
HARRY REID: Passed Obamacare which his campaign donors helped him write, while stealing 500 Billion from Medicare and Seniors to finance it.
He passed financial reform which didn't bother to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which were the root causes for the Housing crash---and the subsequent Economic Meltdown. He wants to pass Cap and Trade which will cripple our industries and allow China and India which are not bound by it to excel while we go backward into the Stone Age with Windpower and Sun Power----which all totaled only provides 1% of energy needs. He says coal makes people SICK----thus targeting all the West Virginia and blue collar coal miners----meanwhile it is one of our best sources of electric power. He wants to open the borders---that's great bring on millions more people onto a the economy of America which is struggling for survival. Tax and spend which no European Nation followed----instead they started cutting and Germany showed a 9% increase in economic growth last quarter.
This man is not only Dingy, he is DINGY !!!
DINGY HARRY IS A BETTER NAME !
52% OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION AGREES WITH THE TEA PARTY'S POLICY, THUS, THE KOOKS AND FRINGE ARE THE TEA PARTY OPPONENTS !!!
Nevadans will lose all credibility nationally among their countrymen if they return this inept leftist to the Senate-----you would deserve him and the 14.8 % unemployment AND RISING---the problem is that your choice will negatively impact the entire nation and many, resenting such an impact will boycott travel to Vegas and other Nevada places to let you know that we didn't appreciate you driving a stake into the heart of the nation.
You can't really afford making enemies of the people of America in that much of your economy depends on tourism and suffers greatly when we don't come.
You know, it seems like a no brainer to me. I'm not a huge Harry fan, but maintaining the senate majority seat seems preferable to a junior Congress member who speaks out of both sides of her mouth as well as every other oriface. Her positions are all over the place and she is consistent about nothing except whining about Harry. She hasn't said squat about what her goals are. Probably because she has none except putting more money in her hubby's wallet. She has a degree in home economics. I guess if she wins she'll have plenty of time to sew an apron or bake a cake which is about all she's qualified to do. She was a nothing in the Nevada legislature and she'll be a blip on the radar screen nationally but a HUGE hit to this state. We have few electorate votes and we need Reid to get anything other than nuclear waste thrown our way.
Harry Reid helped to:
1)Quadrupled the Federal Deficit to $1.7 trillion dollars.
2) Run up our National Debt to $13 trillion dollars.
3) Implemented a useless $787 billion dollar Stimulus Package, which cost more than the two wars under George Bush.
4) Enacted a feckless Nationalized Health Care Plan that will ruin our current system and run our country into the abyss if it's not repealed.
Think of how much he can damage the US economy if he is sent back to Washington again----except, it might be too late by then to reverse the damage. This is no light election; this man is a disaster to our nation's economy.
They should ask which candidate is more likely to supply Nevadans with Astro-glide or K-Y Gell at the polling stations as either choice will give us the same result!
Oh did Nevada prosper under this six years of Harry Reid: NEVADA LEADS THE NATION IN UNEMPLOYMENT----NEVADA LEADS THE NATION IN HOME FORECLOSURES---this is the job Reid has delivered to you as the head of an insurmountable majority which WILL CHANGE IN NOVEMBER !!!
Even if he still leads the Senate----it will not be in a commanding way! He will be stymied by a Republican House and offset by many new Republican Senators----his power, if any will DIMINISH and he will deliver even LESS TO NEVADA than he did the past six years. Your junior Senator would have much more impact with the new order which is about to takeover the Congress in 49 days !!! Reid cannot help but lose, Angle would only gain.
A Vote for Reid, is a Vote Against America recovering from this snafu----
the Tea Party is kicking out many of the Spendthrift Republicans, the Democrats just push forward the same Tax and Spend liberals as always.This time they will drive our economy over a cliff, if there is no one to stop them.
You bettter start learning Spanish if you reelect Reid----he's more interested in giving them healthcare than in giving it to the Seniors from whom he took away 500 Billion dollars to finance Obamacare/Socialized Medicine.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result----Reid brought Nevada the highest unemployment in the country, he also brough the highest foreclosure rates----the results can be nothing except the same unless you change the underlying factors:to wit: vote Reid OUT and Angle IN.
Yeah, but can Sarah teach Crazy Angle to see Russia from her home in Reno?
If not I say no deal.
