Remember the knock that Sharron Angle wasn’t quite ready for primetime? Well, by most accounts she clobbered Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in last night’s only debate between the two candidates. Angle asked Reid how he became so wealthy on a government salary.
“I’m not a career politician,” Angle said in her opening remarks. “I live in a middle class neighborhood in Reno; Senator Reid lives in the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, DC.” Early voting in the Nevada Senate race begins tomorrow.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Harry Reid's face is so pinched, his nose twitching as if perpetually sniffing a foul odor, that he looks to be crying out for a harsh, long-lasting laxative. He is a plug-ugly and one of the nastiest, most miserable people ever to befoul the pigsty that is the current Congress. He needs to go on aesthetic grounds as much as on political ones. One can judge and understand the Left by contemplating the ugliness of its politicians.

Oh, I think Barny Frank would tie with Harry Reid on that one!

"I'm not a career politician," Angle said in her opening remarks. "I live in a middle class neighborhood in Reno; Senator Reid lives in the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, DC." To which Reid responded, "It's time that America's government lived by the same values as America's families. It's time we invested in America's future and made sure our people have the skills to compete and thrive in a 21st century economy. That's why I'm living in the Ritz Carlton."

Reid obviously has concentration problems. He would lose his job if he worked for a private business.
Ryan| 10.15.10 @ 4:07PM
That's assuming that someone would hire him...

Personally, I think we'd have a more honest congress if they made ten million a year.

Yes, give a greedy person a buttload of money and they will no longer crave more, no doubt.
Salary caps in sports worked too...

Harry is the walking, talking, bumbling caricature of the Democratic party: mean, double-dealing, profoundly arrogant, back-stabbing, sometimes thieving--and always predictably noxious and extreme.

Check the mainstream media coverage. Predictable.

I'd love to see Barney Frank vs Harry Reid in a WWE steel cage death match on Thanksgiving night, no time limit, with Barracuda Barney in a purple tutu and Harry the Hammer in striped leotards. The winner could take on Pelosi and Boxer in a two-on-one handicap match, Pelosi to flaunt flaming red Oshkosh b' Gosh overalls and black Frye boots, while Boxer sports a pink turban and an I Dream of Jeannie silk tw0-piece, with a jewel in her navel, and pointed shoes with bells on her toes. Guest referee Michelle Obama. And she will brook no nonsense, from any of them.

Reid was pathetic. I know this because the ABC morning show showed clips of him being pathetic. ABC likes Democrats very much, so its a certainty that Reid performed even worse than what they aired.
No record to run on, no ideas and zero credibility is no way to run a campaign even if you are an ancient incumbent. Reid looked flat - footed. like some washed - up boxer who kept getting clocked by roundhouses and couldn't even defend himself. The only thing that kept him standing was his cement - like head.

Even though I hope that all Republicans defeat their Democrat opponents [not that Republicans are highly superior, but at least thier party hasn't been taken over by extremists like the other party has] in November, this Navada senatorial race is super important since, unless Reid is defeated, he'll return to the senate as majority leader [and be able to resume his powerful political radicalism in support of Obama's policies]. Angle simply must defeat Reid if we are to begin the process of retaking of our government!!!!!!!!!!!!
