Hopefully the unions will flush a bundle down the sewer as well.

4 Yeah!

5 Let's not forget that the senator depicted in the movie Casino, starring Robert Deniro, Sharon Stone, and Joe Pesci, was based on Harry Reid. The guy is a scumbag, and he needs to go. He's been a senator for how long?

7 I think there might be some people who would like to know a little about her and where she stands before they pony up.

She's running against Harry Reid.  That's pretty much all I need to know.

8 And thanks for the link.

Democrats and the MFM, but I repeat myself, are going to go after her on the Scientology angle.

But won't that offend all the Hollyweird Scientology Dhims?

10 Wrong way Reid mimics the callmemaam web site they set up for Babs.

11 In response to this:

"Video Shows Angle Promoting Scientology Rehab Program"

I offer this:

"Video Shows Reid Declaring Iraq War Is Lost"

Now, let's discuss which has the bigger import for direction of the country, shall we?

12 Really? A Mormon's gonna go after someone else with the "weird religion" angle?

Ok, that got a guffaw.

Can the Democrats really go after her for the Scientology supported drug rehab though?  Won't that potentially piss off some of their biggest supporters?  Idiotic brain dead hollywood liberals.

With the primary over my view is to now do what must be done.  That means all her Republican opponents need to come out and support her.  Anyone whining about their candidate not winning needs to be told to shut up.  Basically demonstrate that you don't think the strategies of Crist and Spencer are the proper way to handle (potential) electoral defeat.

22 Democrats and the MFM, but I repeat myself, are going to go after her on the Scientology sponsored drug rehap program and anything else they can find.

Yeah, but does it include bartering chickens? If so, then I'm all in.

Better yet, the Harry Reid character was played.....by a Smothers Brother.

A little knowledge from Nevada:

1) Yes the Donks nominated baby Reid for governor.  He polls right around "snowball in hell" against Sandoval.  He's destroyed Clark County (home of Las Vegas, where he chairs the county commission), and this in combination with his father's baggage ruins him.  Clark County is in such a mess that baby Reid may actually drag his father down, if you can believe it.

 

2) Angle is about as much a Scientologist as you are if you've watched a Travolta movie.  This nasty piece of misinformation needs to be squashed.  She's a lifelong and apparently quite devout Southern Baptist.  Not my flavor of religion, but certainly not worshipping dead hack sci-fi writers either.

31 Republicans ain't got no normal religion, they're all Scientologists and Sikhs.

32 Oh, no, Drew. The WaPo has already predicted Fiorina and Whitman losing by a landslide. So it must be true. See Headline 01 at Big Journalism (and click through to WaPo if desired).

Yesterday I wrote a comment about how the MFM would immediately begin attacks on Sharon Angle and how she was “too far right” out of the “mainstream”, and how Republicans could have chosen a “better candidate” etc.

 Well it wasnÂ’t long before the concern trolls were hitting AOS and it sure wasnÂ’t long before the AP lit into her.

 Archy Cary has an excellent read of the AP article over at Big Journalism.  Morons expect to see a lot more hit pieces like this as well as a huge influx of concern trolls and Eeyores at AOS.  One thing that the author does not mention when he talks about the AP attack on the “flat tax” being “far right” is that the flat tax has been around since the days of Moses and in modern American politics was first recommended by Steve Forbs. It is hardly the brainchild of Paulbot nutjobs.

 story at BigJ.

 Â“Unexpectedly” our tax dollar supported News Agency, NPR attacks from almost the same angle even though it was written by a different author and does not reference the AP story:

 NPR Spin

You donÂ’t suppose the stories were coordinated from the DNC do you?

So now we have a poll showing perhaps all that noise about getting the "desired candidate" was just so much bullshit.

As I said yesterday, the proper reply to the concern trolls and Eeyores is “Only McCain can beat Hillary”.

41 She has a ass like a young boy.

I will say no more.

42 Nevada has a Scientologist running on the Republican ticket????

No.

She agreed that many children with "ADD", etc, are misdignosed because they act like children, having energy and stuff.  And their wimpy parents and teachers aren't trained to handle children because ya know they are children.  So it might be a good idea to bring them off the drugs so they could be.....children.

43


As long as she keeps up a plausible deniability about being a Scientologist, I'm thinking she's gonna win.

Now, who else is a little put off but this use of near-current internet slang in campaigns.  I use things like teh ghey (v old, i know) and such in comments, but this is a campaign ad.  Don't these campaigns employ any adults in PR?

44 I thought Scientology was anti-gay. Is it anti-gay like Islam is anti-gay; except on Thursday and between older Uncles and young boys?

45 So she is anti-Ritalin --- that will get the NEA to put a hit on her

46 She can't help but speak with a Xenu dialect!

47 This news is very depressing.  I have a very tough schedule,  and I would love nothing more than to have a leisurely week in Paris.
Stroll down the Seine.
Take my wife out to a nice meal.

Now please, let me finish my waffle and pack my Comrade Kickash jammies.

The Women's Legislator group to which she belongs/ed is a Scientology-funded group.  There's no getting around that.  THat said, it only takes one Sister Soulja moment of her claiming Scientologists are bugfuck crazy on lots of stuff to hit about 65%Q in the polls.

Oh god, my posting skills are weak today - right up there with my spelling skills.

Re: Flouride in water. My father for most of his life was a licensed water plant operator. He was working when the decision was made to start injecting flouride in the water. When he retired, we were discussing his job and he bluntly concluded that flouride in the water did little or no good...just another lets do something to 1) make it look like we are doing something and 2) piss away taxpayer money.

Now, that is one man's opinion, but the point being that if Angle really did bad mouth flouride in the water, she is not the only person out there.

Islam is cut-off-their-heads anti-gay.  Scientology is drain-their-bank-accounts anti-gay.

In the 50s and the early 60s there was a conspiracy theory about communists seeking to lulls us into surrender by fluoridating our drinking water.  (Dr. Strangelove satirizes this idea.)  That was probably a joke intended to smear her with something that happened before she was born.

66

 Um................no. The Democrats will get to watch Dick Dubrin and Chuck Schummer try to out shank each other for the job. Neither of whom is remotely competent. Schummer will be trying to attach 100% funded abortions onto every piece of legislation and will be trying to unionize your dog and/or cat as well.  Durbin will be....well, Dick Durbin. Which means he will go around saying a whole lot of stupid shit for the next couple of years.

Well, fluoride and selenium, and fallout from above ground atomic tests.

But mostly fluoride.

74 Her website used to have more than the donate page, I believe it is being revamped for the fall right now.

Angle has a big lead at the moment, but Reid has tons of cash.  Conservatives need to get behind Sharron Angle.

75

The thing that really puffs my cheese about the bashing of the whole Scientology episode is the relevent facts.  She was making a case regarding "educators" promoting the use of anti-depressants.  Since these drugs can be dangerous to kids and school personel are hardly mental health professionals, I fail to see any problem with restricting their ability to even mention it. 

I had a similar experience when my son was in 1st grade.  His useless scrunt of a teacher (who liked to take naps on her couch during the school day) casually suggested in the hallway that we should consider putting the L'il Outlaw on Ritalin.  Now, he never was much of a student but ADHD wasn't his problem.  Due diligence required my wife and I to take to a professional who confirmed our opinion.  Ms. Useless just wanted a drugged out drone instead of a normal 6 year old boy in her class.

I guess my point here is that these people don't have any place to make such a suggestion and the fact that Angle recognizes this (despite enlisting Scientologists to back her up) only serves to raise her esteem in my eyes. 

76 Suppose that you are given the power to determine the outcome of the NV and FL Senate races this Nov, but the catch is you have only two choices: a) Harry Reid wins and Charlie Crist loses or b) Harry Reid loses and Charlie Crist wins.  Which do you choose? 

77 Rasmussen smells like Hitler.

78 West, I think the odds are better than even given the oil spill going on for another few months. Add to that a severe spike in gas prices or a shooting war in the ME and Obumbles feckless responses, it'll be a perfect storm for the dems in november.

What's the criteria for marginally competent though?  Because for a Democrat and the nation in general are two completely different things.  It will also depend on whether it is for Minority or Majority Leader.  If its Majority expect the "we haven't been liberal enough!" idea so it will be someone on the further left of the Senate.  If its Minority, expect it to be someone more in their "middle".  And no matter what don't believe shit about what people claim he is like.  I still remember Harry Reid being touted as a Moderate Pro-Life Democrat when he was chosen as Minority Leader.

83 Now, that is one man's opinion, but the point being that if Angle really did bad mouth flouride in the water, she is not the only person out there.

'zactly.  and i trust my dentist who's shown himself to stay ahead of the curve on the latest info, technology, etc. in dentistry.

This has always been my theory regarding Reid and ultimately what has hopefully screwed him this election.  He's always been playing the moderate good almost conservative Democrat in Nevada to keep himself in.  Now comes the chance for real power in the Senate and he takes it becoming Minority Leader.  But he's still hidden behind being in the minority so not accomplishing much, so he's still hidden behind his cloak of bullshit.  But then he becomes Majority Leader.  He has the power he wants, and real recognition.  Now everyone in Nevada can see because their guy is the Face of the Dems in the Senate.  And you get the "Holy shit, that's the loon we've been electing!?"  Power and prominence for a Dem Senator from a conservative state is a double edged sword.  Reid is about to get stabbed by it.

90

Well, seems as good as any to roll out the new and improved Table for the Republicans to recapture the Senate. Ranked from most sure pick-up to least sure pick-up.

1. North Dakota. Hoevenor is so far ahead, even a live boy/dead girl in bed can't upset him. Last poll had him up 40..... yes, 40 points.

2. Arkansas.  Blanche Lincoln wins the primary. Congratulations --- you now get to live another few months before losing by 15.  Unions have walked away from Blanche and my gut is that in a few months, Bill Clinton will become a "special envoy" somewhere so he has an excuse not to stick his neck out in his home state.

3. Indiana.  Dan Coats has to just be quite, stay on message and prevail.

4. Delaware. Assuming Mike Castle wins the primary (likely) he will start out ahead by about 9 points.

5. Illinois. Mark Kirk has had a rough week with some misrepresentations about his military service. Not the Dickie Blumenthal type. But, just in time, the Blago trial starts to remind everyone around that Democrats in Illinois are corrupt or incompentent or, in the case of Blago - both. And we can count on at least a few more Broadway Bank stories along the way.

6. Colorado. Both Republicans have the lead against both Democrats. Still waiting on the primary, but the generics look good.

7. Pennsylvania. Would be higher on the list of Spector had won. Sestak got a slight bump out of his win, but then polls settled down to show either Toomey up (within the MOE) or tied. Sestak has issue of job offer still lingering.

8. Nevada. Down this far just because no real polling data. Expect it to raise. Reid has 17 million dollars in his war campaign. Trouble is, he just spent 10 million and really didn't raise his numbers. Reid has been stuck in the low 40s the entire election cycle and just doesn't seem to get any traction. Bad news: Frank Luntz recently reviewed a Reid ad (him sitting at a kitchen table) which he rated "highly effective".

9. Washington. Most polls show Dino Rossi and Patty Murray either tied or with Rossi having a slight lead. Rossi got in late, so that may hinder his campaign.

10. California. Can you figure out California - if so, call me. I have no idea what the land of fruits and nuts will do.

11. Wisconsin. Rasmussen released some recent polling indicating that 2 of the 3 potential Republican challengers are within 2 to 5 points of Feingold. More importantly, Feingold's numbers have been stuck in the mid 40s most of the cycle. Not optimistic - but there is some vunerability. Really, Feingold should be in the low 50s, so at this point, you would have to say he is an underperforming incumbent in a year when it is not good to be an incumbent.

12. Connecticut. Blumenthal dipped and then seemed to recover. McMahon has cleared the Republican field and has a ton of money to spend, so can't write her off yet. But, if she goes into September down more than 10, have a hard time seeing how she gets the job done in November.

 

91 from 1999: "Before the vote, Assemblywoman Sharron Angle, R-Reno, sought to postpone the vote so she could add an amendment to block fluoridation in Washoe County. The Washoe County Commission in 1992 rejected fluoridation, and Angle said the Legislature should not approve fluoridation in her county without a vote of its people."

92 Well, you know, Harry Reid claims to be a Christian conservative, too. At least while he's in Nevada.

And yes let me guess, you are a concerned christian conservative worried about our ability to get rid of dingy Harry;

or at least you claim to be.

Every freaking Democrat commie on earth dies in a fire and goes straight to hell.

95 i expect that "they" will use the flouridation issue as part of their arsenal to attack Angle and try to make her look like a kook.

Until someone reputable comes out with some proof that she spoke out against fluoridation we shouldn't make noises about her speaking on it. It is most likely BS.

96

from 1999: "Before the vote, Assemblywoman Sharron Angle, R-Reno, sought to postpone the vote so she could add an amendment to block fluoridation in Washoe County. The Washoe County Commission in 1992 rejected fluoridation, and Angle said the Legislature should not approve fluoridation in her county without a vote of its people."

Ahh.  So she was representing the wishes of her district. 

HERETIC!  BURN HER!

97 The Washoe County Commission in 1992 rejected fluoridation, and Angle said the Legislature should not approve fluoridation in her county without a vote of its people."

That sounds like she wants the wishes of Washoe County respected more than she thinks there is a commie plot with Fl.

98 I had a similar experience when my son was in 1st grade.  His useless scrunt of a teacher (who liked to take naps on her couch during the school day) casually suggested in the hallway that we should consider putting the L'il Outlaw on Ritalin.  Now, he never was much of a student but ADHD wasn't his problem.  Due diligence required my wife and I to take to a professional who confirmed our opinion.  Ms. Useless just wanted a drugged out drone instead of a normal 6 year old boy in her class.

almost identical to my experience, mine was in 2nd grade when the teacher and all the admin. wanted to dope my kid.  due diligence, testing, etc. also revealed he was "normal" -- just like i knew! (heck, i'm only his mother). admins. & teachers so upset with us that we didn't drug our kid who just is different, thinks outside the box, etc.  Not long after that took all our kids out of public school and into home school.  all this about 8-10 yrs. ago.

yeah, we're "rad" that way.  when they were high school age and old enough to consistenly think for themselves, they went back into public school.  This particular son today is a talented, sought-after musician and this past weekend graduated from h.s. w/honors -- dope-free.  not always an easy road, but he made it this far. 

i do not dispute that certain drugs are appropriate for certain children -- just not needed in the case of this particular child.

99 Long way to go, but if this poll is reflective of the decideds, Angle only needs 1 point of the undecideds to ensure victory.  That is a tough row to hoe for reid.

100

#91

Ours are almost identical.

FLIP TO GOP-

I have ND,IN,AR, and DE all in the same level due to the crushing poll numbers. Mike Castle recurringly polls light years ahead of Coons (don't tell that to RedState members though, they want to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and put in a totally unknown city council conservative in bumblefuck with no $$ to stay PURE).

Then I have Illinois, Pennsylvania and Colorado roughly equal- Republicans are polling well in all three, with Republicans on top in polling in both the gov race and US Senate in the first two- always a good sign to see both top-of-the-ticket categories going red.

I then have Nevada just because of Angle's lack of money v the Reid war machine, and some of her "fringe" views (that upon exposure to light turn out to be not so kooky). Still give her the slight advantage.

Then right behind NV is California, where Boxer's approval ratings are an abysmal 37% according to Dem PPP, and where she has failed to crack the mid-40s against any of the 3 GOP primary candidates as late as last week. I give the Republican a 50/50 shot here now.

Washington and Wisconsin will both come down to GOTV and $$$, Rossi helps a ton over in Washington though. Maybe 3rd times the charm for him.

 

FLIPPING TO DEM

THIS is where I am worried. We don't knock out Reid, that sucks, but we don't want to work backwards.

FLORIDA- Crist's numbers scare me- his approval rating is stubbornly high, and that has crossed over for him to the race, where he has polled to be the favorite. When Meeks is forced out, Crists numbers will explode higher, I fear.

OHIO- Fisher has held Portman at best to a tie since the primary-turnout from tea party anger and for the governors race could tilt it in Portman's favor but in a deadlock run I give Fisher the advantage here.

 

So I see it US SENATE- R-48 I-3 D-49, or basically R48 D 52

 

101 Mallamutt. Looks like the GOP field in Wis. is now down to 1, leaving him the ability to go after Feingold now instead of spending resouces on a Sept. primary. Also, one party rule in this state has so screwed everything up that Feingold could be hurt just because he has a D after his name. Skyrocketing taxes and "fees" with job losses and major employers leaving (we almost lost Mercury Marine with 2000 jobs, Harley building new plant out of state) plus our outgoing Gov. Doyle (phutt!!!) wanting his own Cap and Trade ( good-bye paper companies, they have trees down South, too) have turned this place into a Democrat sh!thole on its way to being Michigan.

102 93 Well, you know, Harry Reid claims to be a Christian conservative, too. At least while he's in Nevada.

Nah he's not being a concern troll, Vic.  He's just saying that its what Reid has always done.  He's a liberal shitbag but when he goes home to Nevada he acts like he's a good Christian conservative representing his state so he can keep his Senate seat.  He'd be one that would love to have his voting record kept hidden from his state.

People here in Nevada are really, really pissed about how much shit sucks here and they're taking it out on the Reid family.  He jammed that bullshit stimulus through promising green jobs unicorn skittle shitting horseshit, and we got repaid with 14% unemployment and his best buddy telling people not to come to Vegas.  There are entire subdivisions of houses here unoccupied/bank owned.  I know things are tough all over, but we've been god damned crushed and he didn't do jack shit to help because he was too busy force feeding the country a health care boondoggle that no one wanted (by the way, Nevada supports repealing it 58-41, independents 61-37).

I've heard a lot of the old cowboy natives here tell me they haven't taken too kindly to the way Reid has been beating up on women, first Lowden and now Angle.  Maybe not a huge factor, but not totally insignificant.

104 Yeah, but Lowden is much sexier. After Harry leaves, make her the new queen of Nevada.

74 I grew up where the water was naturally fluoridated and my teeth are rocks.




This is very true.  I can bite metal with my floridated teeth, and my wife has to get a crown every 2 years on a different tooth b/c hers crack for no reason.

She grew up with clean, unflouridatred mountain water.

Fluoride is great for teeth, and I'll not believe otherwise until someone explains to be how calcium based hydroxylapatite is more durable than fluorapatite.

Better fucking living through chemistry, bitches.

106 She wanted the approval of her constituents before taking an action they had previously opposed.  It almost brings a tear to the eye, don't it?

107 I live in San Diego, which, as far as I know, still doesn’t specifically fluoridate its water, though they keep saying it’s just around the corner. I grew up drinking water from a well we had dug on our property. Last time I went to a dentist, about two years ago, the dentist said that I had good teeth for not going to the dentist often, so I must have grown up in an area that fluoridates. When I said we had our own well, he “realized” that I must have grown up in an area with natural fluoridation. He may be right. But it seems like a self-validating belief to me. Bad teeth can be the result of anything, whereas good teeth are always the result of fluoride.

108 Why does Rush think having Carol Channing sub for him is a good thing?  I want teh Mark Steyn back.

109 Seems like they have already started attacking Sharron Angle, this is going around in emails:  "Teabagger Sharron Angle: Phase Out Social Security,
Abolish, IRS, EPA, Department Of Education, Prohibition
On Alcohol?, Scientology-Style Saunas For Prisoners,
Only One Parent Works Outside Home.Only One Parent Works Outside Home? Who the hell can afford that, except the uber-rich?"

110 THat said, it only takes one Sister Soulja moment of her claiming Scientologists are bugfuck crazy on lots of stuff to hit about 65%Q in the polls.

She doesn't have to attack a religion, no matter how kooky it is (not any worse than Mormonism) to get support. She just has to say she believes in Jesus. If she badmouths her friends, she looks like an insecure bitch.

bigred: thanks for the update. I still think Wisconsin is really going to be a race about Feingold/the state of affairs. His numbers peak around 46%. Not bad, but not really where he needs to be. And, I wonder if the polls may be overincluding the college vote that turned out huge for Obama. Overestimate that by 2-3% and it puts Feingold in really bad shape.

To wit: If the pollsters think 11% of the vote will be the under 25 crowd, then put of a sampe of 1000, 110 will be of that demographic. And of that demographic, Feingold is probably polling around 60% (lets say 66-44 are the actual numbers). But, if it turns out to only be 9%, then its a vote total of 60-40. Which translates roughly to another 1 percent drop for Feingold. And it also depends on which group is underrepresented, which is more likely White Males. Decrease Feingold another pt. Now he is 44% - which is near fatal for an incumbent.

112 In the 50s and the early 60s there was a conspiracy theory about communists seeking to lulls us into surrender by fluoridating our drinking water.  (Dr. Strangelove satirizes this idea.)

I'm inclined to believe it based on the 2008 election results.

113 Bad news: Frank Luntz recently reviewed a Reid ad (him sitting at a kitchen table) which he rated "highly effective."

Does Reid start beating his wife at any time during this commercial?

114 I wish I knew how to photoshop.  A caller to one of the talk shows said that some character in the movie casino is based on reid, a mobster guy I think.  But I never heard the rest of the call, so it could be all wrong.

(not any worse than Mormonism)

Tattoo, I don't care much for mormonism, but to say that Scientology isn't any worse is flatly false.

I don't recall mormons killing people (recently) in some sort of brutal "treatment" hotel, nor do I remember them taking ALL of their people's money (just 10% GROSS, not net!).  Their mythos are both demonstrably false, but only one has DC-3's flying through space.

Scientologists are fucked up, crazy, malicious people.

Mormons are just too polite and gullible.

"a) Harry Reid wins and Charlie Crist loses or b) Harry Reid loses and Charlie Crist wins.  Which do you choose? "

Reid loses.  Crist would have no seniority. (Although I hate that orange colored slime.)
