Harry Reid faces huge problems back home
The American Thinker Blog ^ | December 05, 2009 | Rick Moran

Posted on 12/06/2009 3:29:18 AM PST by Scanian

At this point, at least, it appears that Nevadans are heartily sick of Harry Reid and want someone to replace the three term incumbent.

Politico's Scorecard:

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) continues to face weak support back home, and trails both of his leading Republican opponents, according to a new Mason-Dixon poll released today.

Even as Reid has been airing a number of television ads highlighting his clout in the Senate and work saving jobs back home, the poll shows a near-majority of Nevada voters still view him unfavorably. Reid holds just a 38 percent approval rating - the exact same total as the last Mason-Dixon poll in October - with 49 percent disapproving.

Reid trails former Nevada Republican party chairwoman Sue Lowden by 10 points, 51 to 41 percent, and also trailed businessman Danny Tarkanian by a six-point margin, 48 to 42 percent.

Republicans face a crowded primary to determine Reid' opponent, and there's no clear frontrunner, according to the poll. Lowden holds a narrow lead over Tarkanian by one point, 25 to 24 percent, with conservative state Assemblywoman Sharron Angle in third with 13 percent."

This IS a problem -

Will REAL citizens stand against it or just bend over and take it?

Is taking a day off work and filming improper activities at your polling place too much to protect your vote .. and ultimately your ability to protect and provide for your family?

Recognizing there are operatives within the system, are we willing to get involved sooner rather than later and stand against the lies, deception and tricks they're sure to attempt?

If we FINALLY recognize that our laissez-faire methods are going to lose us our freedoms, and act ... we can turn this around.

What we have been doing is not working.

Reid is a strong enough American to withstand any difficulties at home. The man is a stone and should serve as an inspiration to all of us. How fortunate we are to have this marvelous human who constantly looks out for the people!

Here he is, standing by Nancy Pelousy, both of them knowing what they have wrought amounts to the death of America, but they still stand there stalwart as little soldiers, not quite telling us the truth about what they have 'crafted' as they know the truth would drive us nuts and they could get seriously hurt.

Hopefully he’ll be gone next November but the problem is all the damage he’s doing now...

“You forgot one...Las Vegas”.

...Las Vegas is suffering more than most of the state. Are you referring to ACORN, SEIU in Las Vegas?

Plus Democrats voting in the Republican primary to select the biggest RINO in the pack, so that it will make no difference in the general election who wins.

Reid is the nieghbor who throws his garbage in your yard, the person who allows his dog to crap on your lawn and doesn’t pick it up, the guy whos driving in the left lane doing 30 miles an hour on the cell phone, the arrrogant cashier who’s got an attitude. I think you got the message!

Reid reminds me of a small town undertaker who would advise the widow Jones to pop for the gold plated casket handles because “old Joe would want it that way.”

They can’t pick up more than 2 points in voter fraud. If they could you’d still be saying governor Corzine. Voter fraud only works in close elections. In blow-outs, like what we will see in 2010, they won’t even bother.

Las Vegas...SEIU, minorities, independents, money. The election is almost a year away. He should be gone but I won’t believe it until the last Clark County recount is finished.

He does not care if he is voted out. Just like Dash Hole before him, he will fall into a cushy mega million dollar lobby job and moon the country for the rest of his sad life.

Unfortunately that is the state of politics in the US these days, all for one...themselves.

You know Harry is in trouble when he runs so many campaign ads the year before the election.
