Outside money pours into Nevada to try to save Sharron Angle, disastrous state GOP It’s no secret that the Nevada Republican Party has been broke, disorganized and fractured by infighting for years. See devastating losses in 2008, a revolving door of state and county chairs and a lack of, until recently, even an office to call home. If Nevada’s GOP candidates were going to get help, it wasn’t going to come from within the state or from the state party…

Tonight, she’s scheduled to party with Sean Hannity and conservative rockers at a Las Vegas concert.

So, while she’s among friends, it makes sense that she would finally reveal who her supposed “domestic enemies” in Congress are. Before the GOP…

Just a few short months ago, Sharron Angle was the only candidate with the backbone to stand up to John Ensign, to call him out for his sordid affair and subsequent cover up. Angle took a hard line on Ensign, called him untrustworthy and said she'd “never compromise” on her principles on that. Said Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist John L. Smith at the time: While other Republicans ducked questions about Ensign, or astonishingly supported him despite his ham-handed payoff and…

Today Las Vegas political reporter Steve Sebelius points out that Angle’s radical philosophy on the marriage of religion and government dates back decades. He also takes Team Angle…

Beware the Power of the Dark Side. That’s the message Sharron Angle sent to a group of Tonopah high school football players who planned to wear black jerseys for their homecoming game at the start of her political career in the early 90's. Angle argued against the jerseys – part of a plan by the coach to psyche up a losing team for victory – at the time. So why Angle's grave concern about the color of some football jerseys?…

By now we’re used to Sharron Angle’s lies about her plan to kill Social Security, her offensive comments about out-of-work Nevadans and her downright terrifying suggestion that her supporters resort to “Second Amendment remedies” if she doesn’t succeed at the ballot box. But Sharron Angle isn’t afraid to engage in a little hypocrisy, either. This week she told the Las Vegas Sun she “has learned that some public employees – she named Reid - have retirement accounts that are safe…
