Angle was asked today how she would handle the two wars then runs from press - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com


Sharron Angle is back in Las Vegas today and channel News 8 was there to ask the would be candidate some questions, and again you see her walking away as fast as her feet will go only to say ask me after I am elected.

What is Sharron Angles plan to handle the two wars America is currently involved in she is asked, well, she is not saying, Angle said I will tell you ONLY “after I am elected“, if she is elected. She continues to run and hide from the Mainstream Media. She continues to run from her own words, and in this case she continues to run from questions she has no words for.

Watch the video, this is how she has dealt with the Mainstream Media in the past, or as she calls them, the “lamestream media” since she won the primary. People are actually voting for this woman who is making a farce out of our democracy and election process.

Voting machine malfunctions are lies spread by e-mail and media - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Voting machine malfunctions are lies spread by e-mail and media - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Over the last few days the republican party has spread rumors and out right lies saying that some Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) have been rigged to automatically vote for Senator Reid. Seems they are paving the way for a court fight if Sharron Angle loses.

Fox “News” has even said that the Union, SEIU (Fox and the right wing hate Unions because they keep wages competitive, and corporation don't get as rich) has the contract to control and service the machine.

Except for the fact that the software and equipment are verified for functionality at the national level and then are maintained by the individual counties. A lack of a centralized authority renders that scenario an impossibility.

Sharron Angle: I am hiding from "lamestream media" until after election - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Sharron Angle: I am hiding from "lamestream media" until after election - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Today on the right wing talk show hosted by Heidi Harris, US Senate candidate Sharron Angle admitted that she was and is hiding from the mainstream media.

Angle says that the “lamestream media” is pro Harry Reid, I guess she doesn’t read Nevada’s largest newspaper the Las Vegas Review Journal which hates Reid and has been promoting Angle ever since she won the Primary back in June.

On top of that all the “lamestream media” has ever asked Angle, in the few times she has taken questions, was for her to comment on her own words. Words such as when she said people will have to use their “second amendment remedies” if she loses the election. Words like “phase out Social Security and Medicare” which she said in a pre-primary debate on Face to Face with Jon Ralston, words she now says she never said, even though its on video, everywhere.

Sharron Angle is afraid to talk to the mainstream media because she is afraid they will repeat her own words back to her and when she hears her own words she can hear how far right and out of the mainstream of America she really is.

But District Attorney David Roger has made headlines in recent weeks that show him as being persuaded by rich celebrities and good ole boy politics.

As you may recall Paris Hilton made national news recently after she was arrested for cocaine possession and lying to the police. Most anyone caught with cocaine and lying to the police would find themselves doing time in jail. But Paris Hilton was given probation and no jail time.

Fox News viewership numbers plunge as audiences wise-up - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com


The right wing GOP propaganda channel Fox “News” has seen a dramatic drop in their number of viewers since last year. Fox third quarter numbers for 2010 have decreased by 21 percent over the same period last year, and they have dropped 26 percent with younger viewers (25-54), and since this is an election year expectations would be that the numbers would increase, not decrease.

Fox “News” which is still the number one “News” channel on Cable (off-air channels ABC, CBS and NBC average between 11-13 million viewers per night) is now averaging 1.831 million prime time viewers a day, and only 443,000 viewers in the age demographic of 25-54. MSNBC which is second in viewership on cable news is seeing their primetime numbers increase. MSNBC is now averaging 687,000 viewers per day in the third quarter of this year compared to last year.

Republicans in the 111th Congress have stopped their support for Veterans - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

A new report recently released by the nonpartisan organization Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) shows that most of the Republican Party has given up on their promise to support our troops after they come home.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “ To Care for Him who shall have Borne the Battle, and for his Widow, and his Orphan”.

Now, Republicans say, to pass any legislation for our troops that the Democratic Party proposes can be seen as a Victory for the Democratic Party by American Voters, so we shall oppose any and all legislation in the name of Politics, in order to take back control of Congress. We shall become the “Party of No“, or as Sarah “Wink Wink” Palin says, “The Party of Hell no”.

The majority of the “Party of Hell No” Voted “No” to the following list of Legislation. Some pieces of Legislation Passed and some Failed, and some are still stuck in Committee. You can see how YOUR representatives grade and how they voted on each of these by clicking here.

Is Sharron Angle really an extremist? - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Is Sharron Angle really an extremist? - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Sharron Angle (R-NV) who is running for the US Senate against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has been accused of being an extremist, as someone who is to the far right of mainstream America and completely out of touch with reality.

Is that true? Is Sharron Angle out of touch with mainstream America? Is she an extremist?

Sharron Angle is holding her own with Senator Reid in the Polls, in the last quarter she raised $14 million for her campaign, and millions more are being poured into attack ads against Reid by special and secret interest groups. Groups such as the Tea Party Express, Karl Rove’s American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS which does NOT have to say who the donors are (GPS, get it, try and locate where the money is coming from). Special interest groups such as the US Chamber of Commerce who is receiving money from foreign nations and foreign corporations, the Koch Industries,who secretly fund the Tea Party and several other millionaires and billionaires whose names shall never be known because those special interest groups who pay for these attack ads are exempt from having to reveal the names of their donors.

Birther Queen Orly Taitz targets Joe Heck with Endorsement - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Birther Queen Orly Taitz targets Joe Heck with Endorsement - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Orly Taitz, a lawyer a dentist, and the Queen of the “birthers”, (Birther: those that imagine President Obama was born in Kenya) has given a shout out on a web post to "Joe Hack" the republican candidate for Nevada’s 3rd congressional district (CD3), she is endorsing Joe Heck, but she wrote “Joe Hack“. She also misspelled precinct, but her fans won’t mind.

Here’s the headline:

"GREAT NEWS! YOU CAN GET 2 FREE TRIPS TO VEGAS, IF YOU ARE WILLING TO WALK THE PRICINCTS FOR SHARRON ANGLE AND DR. JOE HACK!!!"

So far there has been no comment from the Heck campaign. Can’t say I blame them.

This past week Sharron Angle was the recipient of the birther queen’s endorsement.

Could Brian Sandoval be next? Stay tuned.

Brian Sandoval has no budget plan, Reid Press Release - Las Vegas Clark County Elections 2010 | Examiner.com

Early voting begins in two weeks on October 16th and Brian Sandoval has yet to release his proposed budget plan for Nevada before the voting begins

Both candidates have said that they would release their budget plans and how they would deal with a $3 billion deficit.

But, while Rory Reid did release his budget plan (Moving Nevada Forward), Brian Sandoval has not. And now it seems that Sandoval may not release his budget plan until AFTER the November election as he sits on a double digit lead in the polls.

Rory Reid is asking why Sandoval has not released his plan and because voters will be going to the polls shortly, it’s a fare question to ask.

The following is a press release from the Rory Reid campaign along with their latest campaign ad.

About that budget plan...

Attention Veterans, Sharron Angle want to privatize the VA - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Attention Veterans, Sharron Angle want to privatize the VA - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com


In early 2007 at the Walter Reed Army Hospital it was discovered that wounded soldiers were forced to live with cockroaches in rat infested quarters while they went through rehab and physical therapy, which for many lasted months and for some a lifetime.

Walter Reed Army Hospital which had been known as the Army’s top rated hospital and rehab facility for decades was in shambles.

The cause was the privatization of Walter Reid in 2002 under President Bush’s “competitive sourcing initiative“,which awarded a $200 million contract to IAP Worldwide Services.

So how could the Army’s top rated hospital go from hero to zero because of privatization? Congress was wondering the same thing.

Some US cities already under Sharia Law Sharron Angle plays fear card - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com


Yesterday, Sharron Angle made an appearance at a rally in Mesquite, NV. held at Scotty’s restaurant located at the Falcon Ridge Golf Course. The rally which drew an estimated 400 people, was held for Sharron Angle and Cresent Hardy, a local businessman who is currently running for Nevada State Assembly District 20.

Mr. Hardy was in the hospital at the time and was unable to attend.

The Tea Party Patriots and the Mesquite Republican Women's Club co-sponsored the event, along with the Friends of the Founding Fathers, a local conservative political group.

After arriving more than 90 minutes late, Sharron Angle was still greeted with enthusiasm by the crowd.

Sharron Angle gave a speech and as usual blamed all of the economic woes in Nevada on Senator Harry Reid. Angle talked about how she has a three pronged approach to Government, “ “Cut back, pay back, and take back”, which fits nicely on a bumper Sticker and is easy for her to remember.

After her speech Angle took questions from the group.

One of the last questioners asked Sharron Angle about "Muslims taking over the U.S.," and about her stance on the mosque near Ground Zero in New York.

Like a moth to a flame Orly Taitz endorses Sharron Angle - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

Yesterday, the charlatan Orly Taitz who is infamous for her “President Obama is not an American” schtick, announced her endorsement of Sharron Angle (R-NV). Those that now believe the conspiracy started by Taitz that President Obama was born in Kenya are called “birthers” in the media.

Even though the Supreme Court said that both John McCain and Barack Obama are American citizens during the 2008 campaign, and even with Obama posting his Certificate of Birth on the Internet, that was not good enough for the “birthers”.
