Would Not Have Voted for Nonexistent Stimulus for CityCenter It’s become a familiar routine: Sharron Angle says something outrageous, offensive or just plain out of touch. Then she backtracks. Take her assertion on a conservative radio show that she would not have picked up the phone to save the world’s largest privately-funded construction project and the 22,000 jobs attached to it. Angle went on to say that when Sen. Harry Reid encouraged banks to help keep alive the CityCenter project,…

Nevada Democrats Launch HecksChecks.com When Joe Heck said “the role of Congress is not to create jobs,” the former legislator – who has taken as much as $1.1 million in taxpayer money through government funded jobs – apparently wasn’t talking about his own (Nevada Newsmakers, 5/5/10). Heck has time and again advocated slashing government, saying he would cut the vital Department of Education and the Homeland Security Department. But despite his calls for less government, Heck has no problem drinking…

Would Deny Individual Choice Because God "Can Intercede" Yesterday the Las Vegas Review-Journal said Sharron Angle must appeal to women if she wants to become Nevada’s first female senator. Angle’s idea of appealing to women: · Tell them they’re wrong to be in the work force if their husbands are, too. · Make it harder for women to access their OB-GYN. · Perpetuate the lie that abortion leads to breast cancer. · Oppose insurance companies covering mammograms. But while those…

Group supporting Angle believes Obama was not born in US Despite touting the endorsement of extremist Birther group Declaration Alliance on her website, a spokesman for GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle claims “she’s not a Birther.” But if Angle really isn’t a Birther, she’ll come out of the bunker to make one simple statement: “Barack Obama is unquestionably a natural-born American citizen and is the legitimate President of the United States.” The Declaration Alliance’s position that the president wasn’t born…

A few short weeks ago, Sharron Angle was literally begging for press coverage, arguing that the media was discriminating against her based on her conservative views. “As you know earned media is one of those things that every politically adept person wants to do ...Of course we want to get our name in print, and generally speaking the media tries to keep us on the margins and the fringe as conservatives,” Angle told a reporter. “And one of the ways…

Sharron Angle’s been hiding from the media and Nevada voters and attempting to whitewash her extreme record on everything from Social Security (kill it!) to Yucca Mountain (build it!). But if the company this GOP Senate candidate keeps is any indication, it will be hard to hide those radical leopard spots for long. A look at Angle’s severely scrubbed campaign website shows she is aggressively touting an endorsement by The Declaration Alliance. The Desert Beacon reports that this group,…

Las Vegas, Nev. – As Sharron Angle continues her East Coast trip – meeting with wealthy New York investors that support her agenda to eliminate all oversight of Wall Street and conducting her right-wing-only media tour – news has surfaced that embattled Sen. John Ensign will introduce her tomorrow morning to the Senate Republican Caucus. In order to avoid another debacle like the usually-safe Fox & Friends interview, and because we suspect Sen. Ensign and his staff are very busy…

To: Interested Parties From: Nevada State Democratic Party Date: June 14, 2010 Re: ICYMI – Please Watch Heidi Harris. No, seriously. Conservative talker Heidi Harris went on MSNBC’s Ed Show late Friday afternoon, and rhetorically lit up GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle’s already-floundering campaign.

This week seniors across Nevada and the country who are facing high prescription drug prices are beginning to receive $250 checks to help make ends meet, thanks to Rep. Dina Titus and Democrats in Congress. Meanwhile, Joe Heck is letting his right-wing cronies do his dirty work: attacking Rep. Titus for supporting the health insurance reform bill that made those checks possible. Their ad targeting Rep. Titus is filled with lies and misinformation about what health insurance reform will do.…
