Harry Reid has Special Names for Angle Voters - and His Polls are Just Fine - Thank You Very Much!

Two counties making up 86% of the Nevada vote had Republicans coming out in droves - maybe a death knell for Harry Reid's Senate career. Washoe and Clark County, the first in Reno and Clark in Las Vegas, say Republican voting is "disproportionately high." Reid, though, says it's all fine...everything is fine, and says those voting for Sharron Angle are both rude and obnoxious.

Harry Reid - Special Words Just for Angle Voters

According to Democrat propagandist Politico:
Some 47 percent of early voters in the bellwether Washoe County so far have been Republicans, while 40 percent have been Democrats, according to the Washoe County Registrar. Nearly 11,000 people had voted in Washoe over the first three days of early voting, which began Saturday.
Here's the good news:
Out of the nearly 47,000 votes cast in Clark County, 46 percent were Democrats, 39 percent Republicans, according to the Clark County Election Department. But while Democrats make up 46 percent of the county's registered voters, Republicans constitute just 33 percent.
Washoe County is home to Angle, a former Reno state legislator, whereas Reid's hometown of Searchlight is in Clark County.
Maybe a glimpse into election day? Democrats stay home? Well, we don't know, and we should not "assume" anything. Every vote counts.

Red State points out that Angle led in 7 of 9 polls published in October. The lead is small, but nevertheless it is a lead she has maintained.

Reid, with his 50% unapproval rating in Nevada, told CNN just 6 days ago, "everything is fine." "Everything is going well in Nevada." He also said his poll numbers are "fine." We'll see about that. I'm feeling a little cocky - but only a little. By election day it will be a healthy does of fear and even the flu couldn't keep me away from the polls. Sometimes fear is a good thing.

So are you one of the "rude and obnoxious" Angle voters? Another question: how do you feel about early voting? Join the conversation at The Lonely Conservative, who has more.

Rush Limbaugh Christine O'Donnell: No Establishment or Separation of Church and State

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is in the spotlight all across the Nation today. Christine O'Donnell holds it and beams it square in the face of political Liberal ignorance. This full segment video of Rush Limbaugh explaining why Christine O'Donnell is right, as she debates Chris Coons in their campaign for the previous Senate seat held by Joe Biden, is a concise explanation of why Separation of Church and State is a myth. Be sure to listen at about 9 minutes-in as Rush quotes Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. See the video below.


Christine O'Donnell


Many have unwittingly accepted the Liberal position that the First Amendment is about Separation of Church and State, rather than the prohibition of Congress to establish religion. A few years ago, I had this same conversation with someone near and dear to me. Proclaiming Separation of Church and State, I explained to him much of what Rush goes through in this video. After listening, seemingly intently, he said "well, that's not the way people think of it."

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Krystal Ball Raunchy Photos: Democrat US Senate Candidate Krystal Ball's Porn Pics Posted

Krystal Ball, a Virginia Democrat running for a US Senate seat, says a conservative blogger published "sexist" photos of her doing something "orally" to a Rudolph the Reindeer phallic shaped nose worn by her ex-husband, as she moved around at a party with her husband on a leash. The Daily mail reports that Ball said she cannot rule out that the photos were posted to her own Facebook or Twitter page, by her own hand.

She, of course, is "shocked,""angry" and blames her Republican opponent, Congressman Rob Wittman who said he has nothing to do with it and has asked that the pic be removed from the Internet.

I would have some sympathy for Ball, considering the photos were supposedly taken at a private Halloween party about 6 years ago. However, Ball believes it just might be possible that she, herself, posted the photos to social networking sites. If she didn't, she apparently might have, or she would have said, hey I would never, never post those pics. My sympathy empathy quickly dissapated. See the photos here. Source

Chris Christie Mike Castle: Christie Endorses RINO Castle: Good Faith Pledge in Order?

So, there are few problems here: Senator Mike Castle is a RINO - yes, he is. He voted for cap and trade and he voted for the DISCLOSE Act. What more do you need to hang the RINO sign around his neck? Those watching the race closely, however, believe Christine O'Donnell is a conservative, but...some of those watching closely do not believe O'Donnell can beat the Democrat opponent. I suggest Republican House leadership secure a good faith pledge from Castle that he will never, ever again vote to silence us with the DISCLOSE Act, or any similar legislation, and never, ever vote for a Democrat version of cap and trade. And do this before the election. Doing so defines the meaning of "House Leadership." But please read on, there are other considerations.

Mike Castle's political leanings
From Ace:

I do not know why it is that Mike Castle is running 12 points or so ahead of his Democratic rival. It could be partly due to his despised RINOism, of course. And it's also due to personal characteristics which he alone possesses and cannot be transferred to O'Donnell -- like, as the state's only at-large Representative (the state has only one Rep.), he knows everyone in the state, has campaigned statewide nine times before. For whatever reason, the voters trust him, seem to like him. (Well, "like" as much as one can like a politician.)
For whatever reason, they've decided he's okay by them. And preferable to a Democrat. And so he polls 10-12 points ahead.
Meanwhile the latest Rasmussen poll puts O'Donnell ten points behind Coons.
And on that point, I ask, where is the plausible pathway to candidate growth? What is the realistic plan for getting O'Donnell up from ten points down to at least even?
Castle's Republican challenger is Christine O'Donnell. She is not a politician, but is a conservative activist. We have non-political activists running across the country, and that is a good thing, but this one is particularly problematic.

The other side of this is the GOP Fossils who are trying to denigrate O'Donnell and force her to drop out of the race, and are apparently paying people to "stalk her." From TheOtherMcCain:
Let me repeat the question I asked over the weekend: How many pro-life voters in Delaware? Castle’s pro-choice, O’Connell’s pro-life, and that life-or-death issue ought to be decisive in a GOP primary.
If the bottom line is O'Donnell cannot win (and polls are not always the last word) let's tell the Republican leadership to demand a few promises from Mike Castle or they will move to O'Donnell's camp.

In the video below, Christie says a vote for Castle is a vote for "smaller, smarter government." What? Even GovTrack shows Castle only barely Republican (see the graphic above). See Castle's past voting record, which sides with Democrats far more often than with Republicans. However GovTrack also says in the current Congress he has voted with Republicans 87.3% of the time. Sigh. I can't tell you how  comfortable it is to live in a Conservative, very red state. See the Christie endorsement below.

Libertarians Keep Scott Kohlhass: Murkowski Not the Libertarian Candidate: NRSC Goes Home - Almost

Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski (R) is in an almost dead-heat tie (but not quite) with Republican Joe Miller for Murkowski's Senate seat. A counting of absentee ballots, ballots with validity problems and early ballots starts tomorrow with Miller holding the lead with about 2 points. Speculations have been rampant that the Libertarian Party might drop their current nominee in favor of Murkowski but after an emergency meeting, announced today they will stay with their candidate, Scott Kohlhass, the Party Chairman.


Joe Miller and Lisa Murkowski

Approximately 20,000-25,000 ballots remain uncounted. Miller leads by 1,668 votes.  In the meantime, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) rushed to aid Murkowski, now says it will pull out of the state, leaving behind only an attorney who is still working on Murkowski's behalf. Joe Miller isn't much comforted by the news, and asks who "employed" the attorney.

Despite Senator Jon Cornyn's assurance that the vote count will not be tampered with, Miller is not convinced:
Despite Cornyn's assurance, though, Miller is still not convinced attempts to "skew" the election have ended. He said there "certainly is an effort to skew the results" in favor of Murkowski. Miller, an attorney and Iraq war veteran, said national operatives are still in the state, but he is not sure who employs them. 
Murkowski did not approach the Libertarian Party about the possibility of becoming their candidate. A newly released Public Policy Polling survey indicated that Murkowski would far well in November as the Libertarian candidate. Libertarians, however, say there are fundamental differences between Murkowski and the Libertarian platform.
The poll said that in the three-way race, Miller received 38 percent, Murkowski received 34 percent and Democratic nominee Scott McAdams received 22 percent...
The news is also a major boost for Democrats and McAdams, who the poll showed had a much better change in the race against Miller if Murkowski is not a cnadidate. The survey also showed Miller leading McAdams, 47 percent to 39 percent.
Palin-endorsed Joe Miller was considered a long-shot even with the Cuda's golden touch. No one expected Miller to oust sitting-Senator Murkowski. The good news for Murkowski is that the majority of uncounted votes, or at least the number she needs to retain her seat may, indeed, be found among the those ballots.

Lisa Murkowski Joe Miller: Palin Endorsed Joe Miller Wins Seat for Senate from Alaska

Unless votes appear from an unknown source, Joe Miller, a Sarah Palin-endorsed Republican for Lisa Murkowski's seat in the U.S. Senate has won the Republican primary. Listening to Larry Sabato right now on Fox saying all the uncounted votes are not enough to send Murkowski back to Washington, D.C. Ninety-eight percent of the votes have been counted, according to Sabato. A win for Miller has not been officially announced, so my disclaimer is this: if Miller does not win, he came perilously close for Murkowski.


Joe Miller

Here is a classic Palin tweet [current time 11:10 a.m. CDT]:
 9 hours ago: Keeping fingers crossed, powder dry, prayers upward...
Press and pundits have gleefully said Sarah is losing her clout, even in her own State. Murkowski was expected to win the Primary with a double-digit win.

Doing a search engine search for "Joe Miller wins Alaska Senate Primary," I see no msm media reporting the story, other than the Washington Post hedging their bets. Today the MSM is in mourning, learning the hard lesson that Sarah Palin supports the sames values and principles that freedom-loving Americans support.

Sharron Angle on Government gods and The Second Amendment

ABC News hopes to show that Sharron Angle's reliance on the Ten Commandments and the Second Amendment is odd.

Sharron Angle

Angle, the Republican conservative in Nevada has said the entitlement programs pushed by Obama, Pelosi and Harry Reid are designed to make Government our god, and she is exactly right, although ABC thinks that position is "odd."
"These programs that you mentioned -- that Obama has going with Reid and Pelosi pushing them forward -- are all entitlement programs built to make government our God. And that’s really what’s happening in this country is a violation of the First Commandment. We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government. We’re supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government," US Senate candidate Sharron Angle (R-NV) said.
Listen to the audio here.

Then there is ABC's thinly-veiled suggestion that Angle supports "taking out" Harry Reid with guns.
According to the ABC article, Angle suggested the Second Amendment would "avoid the need for the Second Amendment." Here's what she actually said in the interview with Jon Ralston of the NBC station in Reno, Nevada:
"You know, our Founding Fathers, they put that Second Amendment in there for a good reason, and that was for the people to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. And in fact Thomas Jefferson said, it's good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years," Angle said. "I hope that's not where we're going, but, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying, my goodness, what can we do to turn this country around? I'll tell you, the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out."
I was speaking broadly, as you saw, about the Constitution, and that was the context of that rhetoric," Angle responded. "I admit that was a little strong to say 'take him out,' but you know what I meant. I meant take him out of office, and taking him out of office is a little different. I changed my rhetoric, to 'defeat Harry Reid.'"
Angle's point is once again, right on. The Founders provided for tyranny. It's that simple. We need to talk about it more and get comfortable with it, because whether it is this president or another, The Founders saw this need for protection, and provided the way.

Mark Levin Alvin Greene: Jim Clyburn - Greene is a Democrat Plant: Clyburn calls for DOJ Investigation

Mark Levin, the Great One, interviewed Alvin Greene the very controversial Democrat who won the South Carolina Senate primary. Greene, reportedly a graduate of the University of South Carolina with a degree in Political Science, defeated his Democrat opponent, Vic Rawl, who is a judge and a former South Carolina state lawmaker. Some think he won because his name starts with an "A." South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn thinks Greene is a Republican plant. He has asked DOJ to investigate. Yeah, he really did. See videos below.


Alvin M. Greene

Greene might be controversial for several reasons. First might be that he is charged with showing obscene photos to a female student, Camille McCoy, inside the computer lab of the University of South Carolina. Felony charges are pending. Greene won't talk about it. The girl has. See the second video below.

Greene, 32, was honorably discharged from the military, but involuntarily. He is a veteran of 13 years in the Air Force and the Army. He "left" the Air Force in August 2009. Greene won't talk about his military service.

Off topic, but oh well...this sounds like the flip side of Michelle Obama's law license.  All evidence indicates Michelle voluntarily rendered her law license inactive under Rule 770-771 and avoided disciplinary action, possibly disbarment. In the event she wants her license back, she has to begin the process of a "hearing and review" again.

Back to Alvin Greene.

An embarrassed Democrat party says Greene is a Republican plant. Levin pushes him on it and he says he has been a Democrat all of his life and is definitely not a Republican plant. Democrat Congressman James Clyburn, who is always good for a few laughs, and a couple of barf bags each year, has asked the Department of Justice to investigate. Actually, that's no laughing matter because the DOJ is as corrupt and partisan as Code Pink. Maybe we should be concerned.

No one knows where he got the money to run. He says he saved the $10,440 filing fee by saving two years of his military pay.  Levin asks him about it and he repeats that he saved in while enlisted. He didn't campaign, doesn't have a website - or a cell phone. He had no consultants and didn't plant a single yard sign...has $114 in the bank, but won the primary.

Now this is just a rumor. I saw a comment somewhere which shall remain anonymous, who said Greene worked for him in the Air Force and his discharge was an Administrative discharge - saying that Greene was incompetent and couldn't accomplish the simplest of tasks. That's a relief. Greene should do just fine on the Democrat side of the Senate.

In November, Greene will run against Republican icon, Senator Jim DeMint, one of the finest souls in the Senate - actually in the entire city of Washington, D.C. The Washington Post muses that Greene won the primary because his first name, Alvin, starts with an "A." Let the circus begin.
