Sharron Angle, on second thought, changes her mind on some things
Sharron Angle.
Sharron Angle made news earlier this year in her Nevada U.S. Senate campaign with some, shall we say, controversial suggestions that we might be able to privatize veterans affairs, deconstruct this silly Social Security business and don't unemployment benefits seem pretty much like welfare?
Remember those?
Well, forget 'em.
She's changed her mind. The conservative Republican has recently built a slight poll lead over her opponent, Democrat Majority Leader Harry "Nevada Dialect" Reid for the Nov. 2 elections.
Angle's gained that ground by hitting hard on Reid's loyal, diligent, determined Democratic work for....
What's Reid doing for Nevada, Angle asks? Seeing as how the state has the nation's highest foreclosure rate and at 14.4% the nation's highest unemployment rate. That's three times the rate it was four years ago when Democrats won control of both houses of Congress and Sen. Reid become majority leader.
Answering questions from Heidi Harris, a conservative radio host, before a supportive audience on Saturday, Angle said: "What I said was, we could do better."
On unemployment Saturday, Angle said, "We pay into it. So, in some respects it is an insurance policy that we bought into with our paychecks." Angle presumably wanted to clear the decks of some rhetorical baggage before her debate with Reid this coming week.
The, uh, avuncular Reid is almost 71 and seeking a fifth six-year term. Republican strategists as far away as Washington are licking their lips over the possibility of knocking off the Senate Democratic leader, as they did in 2004 to the last one, Tom Daschle, who went on to not become Obama's secretary of Health and Human Services because of a pile of unpaid taxes.
Our colleague Robin Abcarian has a broad look at the Nevada race right here.

Sharron Angle is the epitome of a politician that would say, do any thing that gets him, her elected. Truth not included. Politicians have always had the audacity of lying with smile to give the lie told more credibility and the stupid voters fall for those lies, in this case, because racism is so prevalent in America's politics. How can anybody believe a person that days before say so outrageous things and voila during the debate, she changes some of her possitions, but once, if elected, she reverts to same old, same old. A tiger can't change its stripes over night and Sharron will never change. Maybe she is the one that flew over the cuckoo's nest. Bush, 41, lost his second term on one phrase:"Read my lips: No more taxes." Yet, he lost and now, a sign of the times, racism galore, this Trojan horse of democracy doesn't stop saying stupidities and she is ahead. Welcome to America, the mashcist.

Los Angeles County is a prime example is just one haven for illegal aliens where expenditures will keep skyrocketing upwards, if the majority of Democratic Liberals in Sacramento are not removed. California cannot pay its bills, because the amount expended to support the 2.5 million illegal alien households in the county. In the midterm elections watch cautiously illegal aliens violating federal voting laws. Be particularly observant of absentee balloting, as it’s not that complicated for foreigners to vote and alter the direction of voting numbers. The whole system of "Honor Voting" has been compromised in the last ten years and may have severe implications in close races in LA and in every other precinct across the country. The Tea Party, moderate Conservatives neither genuflect to either the GOP elites or the Liberal Democrats. Learn who is buying and selling your families future, by allowing this rising incursion into our country.
It’s been the obligation of both parties and is they are entirely to blame through the years. This DOJ states they are arresting more illegal aliens than ever before, but what they are silent about--it's only the criminals and for the most part they are releasing average illegals without a criminal history back to our streets. YOU CAME TO THE US WITHOUT BEING INSPECTED, YOUR A CRIMINAL.Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer, who has used the race card and has the same Modus Operandi as Sen. Harry Reid in enacting new laws to maintain illegal immigration. First bill in the next session of the Senate will be another try at Amnesty by Reid, Pelosi and Napolitano. Voting--YES--on funding Sanctuary Cities (March 2008), even when deaths at the hands of illegal alien criminals has spiraled out of control; Voted—YES--on Comprehensive Immigration Reform--Amnesty; Voted--NO--In declaring the English official language of government; that would save millions of dollars in judicial documents in 176 foreign languages and professional translators for court appearances (June 2007).
Voted--YES--on another Guest Worker program (May 2006), resembling the 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act gave Amnesty that upped the population and in addition voted--YES--on illegal aliens being able to participate in our Social Security system (May 2006), that is on the rocks now and then providing Social Services to non citizens. Heaven help us---Americans have worked all their lives to collect Social Security, to keep them afloat for the rest of their lives. But Barbara Boxer has attracted the people’s outrage to join the rest of the Liberal crowd to enact this legislation, allowing foreigners who have never paid into this financial pool access to our Social Security? In my view as a Tea Party advocate--ALL these incumbents should be shown the road out of town, tarred and feathered. Sharron Angle is backed by the Tea Party as the lady isn't a panderer to foreign nationals who have squatted here and every corner of this country.

Federal law already has mandated free health care for anybody, who can dodge the US border Guards, plus education for their children and an overcrowded prison system. Estimates are over a hundred billion dollars a year, with a large proportion spent to support the instant citizenship of babies intentionally born here. None of these massive taxpayer funds cover the draining of public welfare at the State, County and city outpouring of welfare payment in services and cash. IF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WAS EVER HONEST ABOUT STOPPING THIS UNVOICED INVASION, THEY WOULD HAVE MADE ILLEGAL ENTRY INTO AMERICA A FIRST CLASS FELONY. It’s easy to speculate that the majority of illegal aliens who appear here are far from the highly educated, the individual and their families that are not business owners, wealthy or those with any special abilities. This cut throat illegal labor are sought by degenerate employers, for the value of no traditional obligations of offering benefits such as health care. Once again the US taxpayer takes up the slack for these federal obligations of free emergency room visits, free schooling for their kids, that has exploded in billions upon billions of dollars throughout this sovereign land.
The people who flee from south of the border, Latin countries, Asia are people who have no job skills, desperate and penniless. They come to USA with the compliments of their countries officials, since our society has been negligent and a dumping ground with a border easily circumvented. American taxpayers have become unfortunate subservient pushovers by years of our administration in supporting these recipients of our welfare system. They arrive from countries that are overpopulated through religious conviction, dictatorships and our nation has developed into a behemoth relief valve to all other lands woes. Below our border those governments have never placed any restrictions on their people illegally migrating here, explicitly since estimates of 60 billion dollars are transferred from the illegal workers remittances to their foreign banks annually. The newest outrage is that foreign governments and corporations can now lawfully influence Americans, through paying for expensive political ads according to a ruling of the Supreme Court. This is a dangerous presidence as their is no measure to disclose the organization who is spending millions of dollars to alter the course of our people's future?

Democratic majority leader in the first session of Congress will enact a massive Amnesty for all illegal aliens. The costs to pay for this bill will be the taxpayers burden, as its always been. As there is no disclosure of the painful amount of money, as no administration has had the backbone to tell the absolute truth. That for decades each president and his incoherent representatives have ever found nerve to release any true accounting. Senator Reid will doom this country to unimaginable overpopulation, expenditures even while we have 15 million legal workers, cannot find a job. What you decide in November, will either be the success of the Tea Party who will not entertain any type of Amnesty whatsoever and demand that Washington secure the open border.

If Nevada elects Angle they'll deserve the lunacy they get in return...she is an anomally...usually hucksters are brighter than this....

I'm just blown away that anyone would believe Sharron Angle. She changes her mind by the hour to fit what she thinks voters want to hear, and she's been caught out in so many lies, I lose track.
But....if the voters vote her in, they deserve what they get and will reap all the nasty stuff that comes with her.

From my position, Angle looks far, far better than the traitor Harry Reid.
Posted by: Barry Hussein | October 11, 2010 at 06:26 AM
Harry Reid is a liar, and is far more dishonest the Angle could ever be. Harry is literally killing Nevada - the people can't take anymore. He is going after the Hispanic vote and they might actually help him 'finish off' the silver state.
Si Se Puede!!!
