Raggio endorses Reid
Lahontan Valley News ^ | Oct 7 2010 | GEOFF DORNAN

Posted on 10/07/2010 9:35:57 PM PDT by VictoryGal

Sen. Bill Raggio, R-Reno, regarded as the most powerful and respected Republican in Nevada, announced Thursday he will support Democrat Harry Reid over Sharron Angle in the closely contested U.S. Senate race.

In an open letter, Raggio slammed Angle's legislative record and what he referred to as her extreme positions on the issues.

He also mentioned Angle's negative campaign against him for the Nevada Senate seat saying she distorted his record, calling him a liar and a RINO (Republican In Name Only.)

“I never heard one word from her, or a concession, or an offer of support,” he wrote. “Instead, she lent aid and comfort to an effort to recall me as state senator.”

RINOs are pieces of crap. Just like McVain, it's all about them and their personal paybacks. Never mind what's good for the country.

RINOs are worse than Democrats.

Never heard of this Raggio before
BUT
endorsing a POC like Reid is inexcusable.
Is Reno gonna get rid of this jerk?

At first, I couldn't figure out why any Republican would support Harry "Federal-Income-Taxes-Are-Voluntary" Reid. After all, the clown's a moron. But, reading further I find out that he's just PO'ed because Angle campaigned against him. It's a bitch when you have to run on your record, isn't it? A little bit of the sour grapes, perhaps?

This 85 year old Raggio has drawn much criticism from Tea Party Republicans because of his support for tax increases.

This really confirms two things. The first is that the primary voters chose wisely, and that the Tea Party movement is totally justified in doing whatever it can to drive out the RINOs.

It’s hard to think of RINOs any more as anything other than unmasked fifth columnists. Once exposed and countered, they go on a last minute spree of sabotage, trying to destroy as much as possible in their final few minutes.

“If I go down, I’m taking you all down with me!”

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

He’s a fossil incumbent of the owrst kind.

Elected in 1972, he is the longest-serving state senator in the history of Nevada.

Everyone in NV has heard about him.

Elected in 1972, he is the longest-serving state senator in the history of Nevada.

The old fossil is recuperating at home from back surgery.

He just proved Sharron's accusations to be true.

He needs to retire as does my congressman who's of a similar age and nearly invisible.

At least he had the decency to prove Sharron Angle right.

If true, Raggio need to be voted out as soon as possible.
