Let Angle speak!

Friday, September 24th, 2010

I didn't attend Thursday night's exciting (and dangerous, apparently) pseudo-debate between Sharron Angle and the videotaped image of Harry Reid.

Sharron Angle wants to get rid of insurance coverage for autistic children and pregnant women in general. Let that sink in a second, and if you don't believe me, check out this video distributed by Harry Reid's Senate campaign, apparently shot during the tea party's Searchlight rally earlier

Ronald Reagan comes out against Reid

Friday, September 17th, 2010

Everyone knows Ronald Reagan is the patron saint of the Republican Party, invoked in speeches, rallies and fund-raisers. Every four years, in fact, Republican candidates make a pilgrimage to Reagan's library to cloak themselves in his aura and engage in a little political necrophilia.Forget for a moment that former Democrat-turned-Republican

Ian Millhiser, writing on the liberal blog Think Progress, accuses Sharron Angle of "...fighting against the Nevada Constitution's requirement that all children have the opportunity to obtain a public education" back in 2003, when then-Assemblywoman Angle voted against a tax package that would have funded schools.But that's not what

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Sharron Angle's new ad ties Harry Reid directly to House Speaker Nancy Pelsoi and President Barack Obama via legislation the three have pushed, as well as pictures of Reid embracing both (not, thankfully, at the same time). It's part of Angle's overall attempt to pin the Democratic agenda on Reid,
