Look, he’s an old fossil.
First elected in 1972 and he’s personally soured by Sharron Angle who wouldn’t put up with his nonsense.
If a RINO bellows in the woods does anyone hear him?
Bill Raggio is not a Republican. He should leave the GOP immediately.
Extreme anti-Constitutionalists are guilty of treason. They should be totally ostracized, boycotted, blacklisted and dis-fellowshipped.
There is a Reid pay off some where.
Um, yeah.. that is why she won the primary. She won't compromise for the sake of compromise. I have no idea if she is good bad or indifferent but it doesn't take rocket science to understand why she is where she is. Enough people on the right were tired of compromising with the left and/or governing from the center.
Now is the time for the right side of the aisle to stand and fight. If it works, politics could change for a generation or longer. And this is the best chance to do it in a generation. Anyone who doesn't understand that doesn't understand politics, and certainly doesn't understand what is happening in American politics.
Angle’s long time pastor also came out today calling Mormons a cult, playing the religion card against Reid. As much as Mormons don’t like Reid, this isn’t going to do any favors with the large population of Mormons in Nevada.
Her pastor is certainly not helping her.

Wow, what a scumbag this guy Raggio is. Clearly, the guy’s a crook.
Did you see ‘The Godfather, Part II’, where they show the Corleones entertaining Nevada politicians? This guy was in that scene.
RINO’s are worse than Democrats
I don’t want someone who is “effective”. I want someone who will say no to the Obama agenda.
Actually, it might.
Anyone who has followed Nevada politics for long knows that Raggio is a RINO @$$, who frequently caves into the liberal agenda far too easily.
I’ve wished him out of the party for years.
Maybe this will be his final bray!
Sheesh!!!
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Opinions voided after this disclosure at the end.
“Effective” in this guy’s context means “able to channel as much taxpayer money as possible towards their district”.
From the point of view of the standard pork-loving pol, someone like Angle is a sideshow freak.
unwillingness to work with others even within her own partyRove? Is that you?

Raggio Recall Effort Underway in Reno
By Sean Whaley | 5:06 pm November 19th, 2009
RENO – Only a handful of Reno residents attended the first meeting today of a group seeking to recall veteran state Sen. Bill Raggio, but organizers say the response by phone and email suggests the volunteer effort will soon gain momentum.
Organizer Dana Allen, a businessman who has been active in Tea Party rallies, said he would like to get about 250 volunteers to circulate recall petitions against Raggio, a Republican who has served in the Senate since 1973. Raggio is in the middle of his final term in the state Senate.

Allen said he believes Raggio misled voters in his 2008 reelection bid when he defeated conservative Republican Sharron Angle in the GOP primary.
Raggio was quoted as saying: “This is not the time to start talking about raising taxes. It is something we can’t even consider.”
Allen said Raggio, who later voted for a $780 million tax increase to fund the 2009-2011 budget, would not have won the primary if not for his verbal no taxes pledge.

Good ole GOP. If they can’t win they want to make sure they hold on to power.
Angle vs the Establishment. A benefit.
