Speaking for themselves: Veteran groups say Harry Reid has been good on troop issues

Posted in News Clips | 08/26/10 | By Dennis Myers Republican U.S. senate candidate Sharron Angle has been attacking her Democratic opponent, Harry Reid, for failing U.S. troops. But organizations representing the troops give the Nevada senator high marks. Early in her campaign and after she won the GOP nomination, Angle was critical of Reid’s comment that the war in Iraq was lost. She included it in a litany of what she considers his gaffes, as in a June interview: “I feel like I’m more mainstream than the fellow that…

Harry Reid rips Sharron Angle over “domestic enemies”

Posted in News Clips | 08/25/10 | By Greg Sargent Yesterday I reported here that  Sharron Angle  agreed with a talk show host's claim that we have "domestic enemies" within the "walls of the Senate and the Congress." Now Harry Reid is personally calling on Angle to name names. Reid, who rarely goes after Angle directly and mostly leaves the attacking to surrogates, just issued a rare statement hammering Angle over the exchange:     "Sharron Angle's rhetoric is irresponsible and over the top. Let me be very clear. While I…

Sharron Angle aims to correct course

Posted in News Clips | 08/20/10 | By Manu Raju Voters here in northern Nevada are very familiar with Sharron Angle, the local pol whose national profile is growing due to near-saturation coverage of her race against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Whether she’s got the support of her neighbors is another question. Republicans have mixed feelings about the former state legislator who is trying to take down Reid, the most powerful man in the Senate. With a little more than two months before voters choose which candidate to send…

Angle: I Haven’t Changed My Mind On Phasing Out Social Security

Posted in News Clips | 08/20/10 | By Eric Kleefeld Sharron Angle further explained her position on Social Security while speaking to reporters on Wednesday -- and said that she hasn't really  changed from her previously stated view that the program should be "transitioned out."

Sharron Angle Campaigned Against Black Football Jerseys On Religious Grounds

Posted in News Clips | 08/20/10 | Huffington Post Color is 'Thoroughly Evil' Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle once partook in a campaign against a local high school's use of black football jerseys, arguing that the dark color was ungodly and wicked, Bill Roberts of Nevada's Pahrump Valley Times recently reported.

Sharron Angle’s angry 1993 letter to Harry Reid

Posted in News Clips | 08/19/10 | By Alex Pareene God bless Sharron Angle, for being, like Rand Paul, a nutty letter-writer. In 1993, Bill Clinton's budget raised taxes on the highest earners, and Sharron Angle was among those who thought that would basically destroy America, forever. So she wrote a wonderful letter to Senator Harry Reid about it.     "I and the majority of my fellow Nevadans are sickened by the passage of the recent huge tax increase bill. With YOUR help the quality of life in America has…

Her spokeswoman, Ciara Matthews, added that Angle had “no recollection” of making the remarks attributed to her. On Tuesday,…

Tea Party Choice Scrambles in Taking On Reid in Nevada

Posted in News Clips | 08/18/10 | By Adam Nagourney Sharron Angle leaned across a table in her campaign office here, defending her suddenly embattled campaign to defeat Senator Harry Reid, the Democratic majority leader, under the gaze of a half-dozen advisers and an official videographer packed into the room. “We always have known that this was going to be a close race,” Ms. Angle said in a rare interview. “Senator Reid has never just given up the fight, you know? He has always been a tough opponent.” But after…

Angle black-gate counter-spin

Posted in News Clips | 08/18/10 | By Steve Sebelius After a column in the Pahrump Valley Times reported that Sharron Angle campaigned in 1992 against black football jerseys for the Tonopah high school team because she said the color was “evil,” the Angle campaign has tried unsuccessfully to change the subject. (A bit of backstory for those who haven’t heard: Angle came out against a coach’s decision to don black jerseys instead of the usual red-and-white to mark the “black day” in 1991 when Tonopah lost to rival Laughlin.…
