Prominent Republicans coming out in support of Harry Reid
Las Vegas Sun ^ | Sunday, Oct. 24, 2010 | 2 a.m. | By Karoun Demirjian

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s re-election campaign has received several endorsements, but perhaps the most unusual one has been from an upstart band of his regular rivals, who have come together to support him under a banner that screams “swing vote”: Republicans for Reid.

The GOP group, formed well in advance of the midterm elections last year, has been slowly adding to its ranks ever since. For the most part, the 400-plus Republicans making up the list are prominent business owners, politicians, and political consultants with deep GOP ties — such as their leader, Sig Rogich.

As a citizen who lives in Nevada:

I will refuse to do business with anyone I see supporting Dirty Harry Reid.

I will work in opposition to any politician who supports Dirty Harry Reid.

I will send what money I can to any group/person that works to get Harry Reid out & to KEEP him out.

Same for his creepy kid, Rory. Rory is running for Governor & won’t even use his last name on his campaign stuff.

Reno Mayor, Bob Cashell, is openly making ads to support Reid. Shame on him. If he doesn’t like Angle, he should just keep his mouth shut, IMO.

I am preparing a letter to him, stating that I will do anything I have to to avoid purchasing ANYTHING in Reno, including boycotting an annual convention I go to whenever I can.

I will not go to Hot August Nights again in the future & I will inform them, also, that it is because of Cashell supporting Reid.

I will go to the Rib Cookoff, which is in Sparks at John Asquaga’s Nugget casino.

I won’t go to any store or service in Reno.

I will shop in Carson City—Fallon—Sparks—Fernley—Yerington—Boomtown.......but NOT RENO.

Ace Robison is endorsing Harry Reid.
That's the same Robison who is the former chairman of the Nevada Republican Party, former chief of staff to Paul Laxalt. It's the same Robison who is (former?) stake president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Moapa Valley.Most astoundingly, it's also the Ace Robison who for decades has played an integral role in attempting to develop the nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain.

His greatest adversary?  Harry Reid.

"Fahrenkopf, president of the American Gaming Association"

GAMBLING LOBBYISTS ENDORSE INSIDER REID

That's the real headline ... these are lobbyists first and Republicans second. They serve Mammon, not our party or principles.

The LV Sun is getting really desperate.

I have a odd feeling this election is wipe out in favor of Angle and everyone in the media does not want to let the cat out of the bag since it would ruin their ratings or newspaper circulation.

I will go to the Rib Cookoff, which is in Sparks at John Asquaga’s Nugget casino.

However, Roger Trounday Executive Vice President, John Ascauga’s Nugget supports Harry Reid.

If this is true and not a Reid hype by his campaign, then the Republican Party will cease to exist.

It's true. The mayor or Reno, Bob Cashell, as well as NV Senate bigwig Bill Raggio both endorsed Reid and both are republicans. I don't understand it--the NV republican party, i.e. those voters that tend to vote republican/conservative candidates into office, chose Angle as their candidate in the primary and the republican politicians that count on those votes have basically told those voters "screw you". Maybe they're planning on jumping ship to become democrats. Either way you slice it they've committed political suicide IMO.

Makes perfect sense to me. It’ll be interesting to see how Cashell fares in this election.

The only jobs endangered regarding these money grubbing losers are their own. Harrah BANKRUPT, MGM BANKRUPT (Ho of China Macua just gave the bozos massive bucks)....

No more CORPORATE WELFARE in this country....

Reid/Obama/Pelosi will not stop until the middle class is destroyed.
