Bill Raggio calls his ouster a ‘pyrrhic victory’ for GOP agitators (RINO supported Harry Reid)

Sen. Mike McGinness, R-Fallon, stepped in as leader, pursuing the post after constituents in Pahrump and in Churchill County asked him to do something about Raggio’s support of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid instead of Republican Sharron Angle.

Raggio said he withdrew his name from consideration because he didn’t want to create discord in the caucus.

“There are a lot of agitators like Chuck Muth in the world and Tea Partiers who think I committed a mortal sin because I didn’t support Angle,” he said. “I didn’t want that to be part of the process.”

Yeah, you asshat, but you could have kept quiet. You didn’t have to endorse Harry Reid..

Don’t let the door hit your wide load on the way out, Raggio.

I can see there is some bad blood between him and Angle, but Angle won the primary. Christine O'Donnell won the primary. Joe Miller won the primary. If you don't respect that you should be punished in the party.

After the election is over damn her to your hearts content, but not before.

Raggio is a piece of work. He endorses Dirty Harry. Then, when he loses his Republican leadership position, he claims those who deposed him are splintering the party. Huh?

Central committee resolutions demanding Raggio step down or be forced out from his “leadership” position were passed in SEVERAL counties.

2011 will be his last session, he is term-limited out.

He’s been a RINO for a long time, he should have been forced out of “leadership” a long time ago!

And yes, I do live here, I did vote in favor of one of those resolutions.

Here’s the guy I told you about. A long overdue action. Although I have my reservations, I think Angle should run for his soon-to-be vacated seat.

Good riddance to bad trash! GOP did bad in NV leg elections.

You can’t be an elected Republican and support Reid. Not acceptable.

Angle, Do we want her running for higher office again and losing us something we should have won?
