Reid To Become First Big Casualty Of Feds Lurch To The Left
PDOP ^ | 08/31/09 | J Brown

Posted on 08/31/2009 6:26:39 AM PDT by Jabrown

Nevada has always been a somewhat unpredictable State when it comes to politics. Despite a demographic makeup that would favor Democratic candidates, Nevada's tourism reliant residents understand, more than most Americans, the need to maintain low taxes and a strong economy. As a result, Nevada has a history of struggling between the election of Democrat and Republican candidates, but past electoral confusion may not be an issue in 2010. Despite mixed electoral results in the past, Senator Harry Reid has remained a mainstay in Nevada politics, but his role as the Senate Majority leader and allegiance to a left-wing agenda adopted by congress have sealed his fate his Nevada.

Reid, like many other congressional Democrats is facing falling polling numbers and renewed challenges to their incumbency as the public concerned over out of control spending and potential passage of an unpopular health care reform bill turns away from the Democrat party. Long-time incumbent Reid is no exception to the trend, as his political bullying and tactics as the Senate Majority leader have created a political monster more apt to pushing a personal political agenda than representing the people of Nevada. As a result, the most powerful member of the Senate is well behind in every poll conducted within the state, even trailing some Republicans who have not announced that they are running for the Senate Seat.

In polling released last week, ...

The DemonRATs always overreach when they are in power.

They are so arrogant and so insulated from reality, they can’t help themselves.

By God’s mercy and grace, they will get a thrashing in the next election.

Reid is definitely TOAST and next comes Boxer and Pelosi, then Barney Frank, Chuckie Schumer, Dodd, Rangel, Snowe, Waters, Feinstein, and the list of hundreds that have proven to be American disgraces; now get the rest of the in-your-face, arrogant slimes that don’t want to listen to their constituents and who think they’re sitting on a throne. It’s time to clean the Congress.

People i know in Vegas absolutely hate Reid and the Democrats. Of course, the Service Employees Union is big in Vegas and they vote for Dirty Harry and any other Communist candidate.

The Service Employees Union is so stupid. Inflation, higher taxes, etc will kill of Vegas. But of course, as long as Barak Stalin keeps giving them them free healthcare, education and guarantees work (government owned casinos)?

That is my prediction: Several of the Vegas casino chains will fail. Uncle Sugar will step in, all GM, and make the SEU the majority owner in the clubs. Imagine what will happen then?

I just want to see a picture of a depressed and completely dejected Reid sitting alone in a fold up chair ala Tom Daschle!

If we are thinking of winning anything in 2010, we MUST take down ACORN and their countless shadow/money laundering scams they call non profit, non partisan organizations.

We also have to take out Soros, by having him up on charges for corruption and countless violations of CFR.

If we cannot contain these, we are still in trouble. They have stealing elections down to a science.

Certainly wouldn't want to provide a helpful hint to a single Dim, but Senate Majority Leader seems to be a hazardous position for Dim senators from red to purple states. Hopefully, Reid will carry on the great tradition of Tom Daschle of South Dakota.

I couldn’t agree more. If anyone wants to see what their playbook will look like in 2010 just watch how they operate in the elections for governor in Va. and NJ. this November. These elections are must wins for the Democrats and they will do whatever it takes to “win”. We can’t wait until 2010 to stop them, it has to be done between now and November.

What concerns me is a lot of these Democrats might start thinking “I’m going to lose the next election anyways, so may as well vote to enslave the Taxpayer as much as I can.”

He stood there and defended O’s insistence that corporate conventions not be held in Nevada.

I used to think this was the right answer, but it is the wrong answer. The way to defeat these cheating bastards is to volunteer to become a poll watcher. then take the job seriously....this is hugh and series!!!!

You forgot the SEIU, they are at the heart of Obama’s rise to power and few Americans, outside of us realize the power and influence that this organization holds within the Dem party.

Yes, but who will be providing “security” at the polls and who will be counting the votes? These are the things that matter and Reid, Hussein et al know it!
