Letter: Forget the rich, let's get Congress under control [Nevadans attack Reid]
The Las Vegas Review-Journal ^ | 2009-07-22 | Dave Mesker

Rich people's money doesn't belong to the government -- and neither does yours.

For the past 30 years we have been re-electing the same idiots to Congress and now it's coming back to haunt every one of us. These people have no problems spending your money nor do they really care about you. They talk the talk, but none of them can walk the walk.

Let's take one guy, our friend Harry Reid. He now has $9 million in the bank for re-election and this could go to $25 million. Is he hurting in this economy? No. If you multiply him by 500 plus, this is what your Congress is built on.

Stop it with the "rich people need to pay their share." It's the Congress of the United States that has to pay its share. They need to stop all this stupid spending and instead of making new laws repeal the old ones. Your kids and grandkids are getting screwed by Washington and everybody sees it, but nobody wants to stop it. Shame on us.

My solution to curtail the rising costs of health care for the government is to mandate all Federal Employees to submit to the VA care. (They are ‘public servants’ and should not receive better care than our service members.)

That would also increase the quality of care of the VA in a nanosecond.

Saw quite a few prominent signs all over Ely, Nevada, about two weeks ago. The signs read:

Vote for anyone BUTT Harry Reid!

Gotta love Ely...

Yeah, but it’s the Vegas movers and shakers, in on the scam, who keep re-electing Dingy Harry.

Walrus,
I’ve heard it is the Vegas mafia that keeps getting Reid elected.
Course his history of shady real estate deals and govt interstate off ramps at those properties has nothing to do with anything.

I just saw on the news that he voted against the dems on gun control today because he is such trouble at home base.

Reid Re-Elected In Landslide -Headline Nov 2010

I'm afraid you're right. The only person to throw her hat in the ring is Sharron Angle, and she's not much of a contender IMO. Yeah, sure she's a strong conservative, but she sucks at campaigning. She ran for a state senate seat last election and her behavior can best be described as bizarre. Other than her the repubs have no viable candidate.
