Sharron Angle: What she will do to you and Nevada’s Health Care if elected - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com


Sharron Angle (R-NV) as you know is running for the US Senate against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Senator Reid has accused Sharon Angle of being an extremist. To combat the extremist tag, Sharron Angle now says that she is a “moderate” and is part of mainstream America”.

*Health Care Reforms:

This last Thursday, September 23, 2010, portions of the Patient’s Bill of Rights kicked into effect and Sharron Angle is against each and would “repeal” the following.

Republicans today stopped a vote that would end the tax breaks for corporations who outsource jobs to other countries. With the economy and jobs being the number one concern for Americans the Republican obstructionists in Congress continue to support Wall Street and piss on Main Street.

For several years, we the Tax payer have been giving tax breaks to corporations for shipping American jobs to other countries. The Democrats had proposed a Bill that would end that tax break and give a tax credit to those who create jobs here in the USA, but the Republicans said, “no”.

Tea Party of Nevada candidate will remain on General Election ballot - Las Vegas Clark County Elections 2010 | Examiner.com

Tea Party of Nevada candidate for US Senate Scott Ashjian (T-NV) will remain on the November General Election ballot.

Tim Fasano a candidate for US Senate with the Independent American Party (IAP) filed a law suit last summer to have Scott Ashjian’s named removed from the General Election ballot saying that at the time Ashjian filed to represent the Tea Party of Nevada as its candidate for US Senate, he was still registered as a Republican.

District Judge James T. Russell ruled in favor of Ashjian, but IAP filed an appeal. The appeal has not been ruled on yet, but according to Secretary of State Ross Miller, Nevada laws dictates that “no change may be made to the ballot” after 5 pm on the first Tuesday after the primary election. The Nevada Primary was held on June 8th of this year, which would mean that on June 15th no further changes could be made.

Miller also said that more than 2000 absentee ballots were mailed and 500 ballots have already been completed and mailed back.

New Health Care Laws begin this Thursday, Insurance companies abandon children - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

New Health Care Laws begin this Thursday, Insurance companies abandon children - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Some of the new health care laws that are in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), which was signed into Law on March 23, 2010, will go into effect this Thursday, September 23, 2010.

Some of the key components that start this Thursday include:

  • Young people will be able to stay on their parents’ health insurance plans up to age 26
  • Insurance companies can no longer drop people from coverage when they become sick and need it most
  • No discrimination against children with pre-existing conditions

Four of the bigger insurance companies have decided that insuring children with pre-existing problems is not profitable, so they have chosen to drop children from their insurance rolls ahead of the Laws that will take affect on Thursday. Insurers including WellPoint and CoventryOne have announced in recent days that they're dropping children's coverage in California, Colorado, Ohio and Missouri, according to Health Care for America Now(HCAN).

Do Tea Party conventioneers no longer want to party? - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Do Tea Party conventioneers no longer want to party? - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

The Tea Party Nation has canceled its Tea Party Unity Convention, again.

The original Tea Party Unity Convention was scheduled for July 15-17, 2010 at the Palazzo Resort and Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event organizers said that they canceled because its “hot” in Las Vegas during the month of July. So they moved the convention to October 14-16, again to be in Las Vegas, but at the Mirage Resort and Hotel Casino, instead.

And now it seems that without even a whisper from the Tea Party Nation, the “Unity” convention has been canceled completely, or so it would seem.

The Unity Convention was to cost $399.00 plus Hotel and Air fare.

The guests scheduled to appear included Sharron Angle, Lou Dobbs, Andrew Breitbart, and last heard Sarah Palin and her $100.000 speakers fee.

The link to register for the Unity Convention and information sign up page has been removed and replaced with a 404 error page. The link to make reservations at the Mirage comes up, error, code expired.

A search on the Tea Party Nation website shows no mention of the convention or any reason for its cancellation.

Another Tea Party convention, the LibertyXPO, which was billed as the largest political Tea Party event in the movement's history failed miserably when no one bothered to show up when it kicked off in DC Sept. 10. As Mother Jones' Stephanie Mencimer reported, "organizers were still begging for $40,000 to help pay for the event" as the XPO got underway. Two days later, marchers at the poorly-attended second 9/12 rally in DC went after Glenn Beck for using up tea party travel money on his Aug. 28 rally to himself.

This Novembers election will have a big impact against the Democratic Party in Congress, but with several GOP backed Republicans who lost their primaries to Tea Party backed candidates, this election is also going to have a big impact on the Republican Party.

The Tea Party is removing the Conservatives in the Republican Party and replacing them with ultra Conservatives. The Tea Party candidates that have won their party primaries have past the “purity test” that the Tea Party demands. It is no longer acceptable for a politician to agree on 99 percent of all issues, they must now agree 100 percent on every issue.

The Democratic Party will take a beating this November, its expected, they are the ones in power, and we still have plenty of problems from the last President that need to be fixed. And those problems are not being fixed fast enough, so we will see many Democrats lose.

But the GOP is facing an insurrection from within its own party, and unless the establishment GOP members can come to terms with the extreme conservatives splitting their party, they will lose more of their established party members in elections to come, and they will see their party driven so far out into right field, that the rest of the nation will be to their left.

Sen. Ensign votes No, on "Small Business Lending Act" - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Sen. Ensign votes No, on "Small Business Lending Act" - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

The US Senate today by a vote of 61-38 broke another Republican led filibuster. This time is was for the Small Business Lending Act, and it was passed with the help of two republicans, one is retiring and the other is NOT Senator Ensign. Senator George LeMieux (R-FL), was the other Republican who put his, State and his Country first, and the Republican Party second.

This Bill is meant to make lending to small businesses easier. The $30 billion government funded Bill will help open lending for credit-starved small businesses, cut their taxes and boost federal loan programs. Larger banks who were bailed out with former President Bush’s TARP programs, took the money, but would not lend to small business. But they did pay themselves fat bonus’s.

The Democrats have been trying to pass this Bill for several months because it will help to create jobs here in Nevada and across the country. Jobs that Nevada’s OTHER Senator, John Ensign has helped to stop from being created

Who has endorsed "The Real Sharron Angle"? - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Who has endorsed "The Real Sharron Angle"? - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com


The endorsement list of Sharron Angle reads like a who’s who list, because most of the endorsements do NOT come from anyone who lives in Nevada, so for anyone living in Nevada who might read the list, they would be asking, who is that?

Most of her endorsements come from 527 PAC’s from out of State, private and corporate entities that hide behind patriotic sounding names like Citizens United or Freedomworks. They are Washington insiders who want to advance corporate agendas and to remove Senator Harry Reid for political and financial gain, and they know nothing about the lives of people living in Nevada.

As we have seen since she has won the primary

Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, call their suckers "Tea Party Folk" - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Tomorrow, Glenn “Crocodile Tears” Beck and Sarah “Wink Wink” Palin are holding a 9-11 festival and rally in Anchorage, Alaska. Tickets range from $74.00 to $115.00, with VIP tickets available for $225.00.

These two right wing extremists say they are going to commemorate the horrific attack to our country on September 11, 2001 by profiting off of the dead.

Glenn Beck said on his radio show that "I hate 9/11 victims families for asking questions". He also said on that show that the victims of Hurricane Katrina were “scumbags”. You would think that it would be obvious who the real scumbags are, but there are at least 4500 people that are clueless. Organizers for the event have said that most of the 4500 seats have been sold.

Republican Senator will join Democrats in support of small Businesses - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Republican Senator will join Democrats in support of small Businesses - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Republican Senator George Voinovich (R-OH), is breaking ranks with his fellow republicans who have previously voted no on every tax cut for small businesses that would have helped move our country forward and help create jobs.

The retiring Senator said that his State of Ohio is hurting and he is ready to end the political games being played out by his party in the Senate, which is led by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Senator Voinovich doesn’t care if the passage of this Bill is seen as a victory for President Obama and Democrats, small businesses in his State can not get loans that are needed to create and save jobs in his State. Which is true in all 50 States because of the republican obstructionism.

Tea Party of Nevada, Scott Ashjian’s latest campaign ad - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com


With the media focused on Senator Reid (D-NV) and Sharron Angle (R-NV) for the US Senate race in Nevada, the Tea Party of Nevada candidate Scott Ashjian (T-NV) has been forgotten.

When the Tea Party of Nevada first made news by becoming a recognized third party and announced that Scott Ashjian would be running for the US Senate seat held by Senator Reid, the right wing blogosphere, the Republicans in DC and other Nevada tea party organizations went berserk. The Tea Party of Nevada and its candidate were shunned by the GOP, and the GOP led tea party groups in Nevada. Ashjian was accused of being a stalking horse for Reid. One accusation after another was spread in newspapers and on the Internet, and law suits soon followed to get his name removed from the November ballot. But Ashjian prevailed, and proved them all wrong, and proved that he was the only true Tea Party candidate in the race.
