Effectively that is TAXAYER MONEY.
The dues which go to the public sector unions is money that should be returned to the taxpayers since the public employees aren't using it for their own personal use.
We need to outlaw all public employee unions.
They are a cancer on the republic.
The question becomes: Does Harry Reid still have the support to remain as Majority Leader, or does he face a challenge in January??
After a defeat of this magnitude, I can’t see how he stays in the Leadership, even though he was reelected. No matter what, Reid is badly damaged.
Please. Not on a public board.
As Senate Majority leader, We the People have to live with the consequence of their negligence at policing their state.
The adults need to step in.
Maybe Angle can get a position in a Palin Administration.
But now that the election is over, those who know and love here will acknowledge that she is dumb as a box of rocks, and not fit for demanding cabinet posts.
Can any astute on-the-ground, FR Broadband Journalists give us the lowdown on the impact of the Hispanic vote in this disastrous election?

Bingo
This group called the Tea Party EXPRESS threw money down in NV, AK, and DE. That’s 0-3.
These states were certain Republican wins before they got involved. Now we have 6 more years of Harry Reid, 6 years of Coons, and whatever in AK.
These guys have a right to throw their money where they want but I don’t like them using the name of the Tea Party. They are not the Tea Party. The media and a lot of people identify the Tea Party Express as the Tea Party. They are using the coattails of the good people of the Tea Party for their own agenda.
Thanks Tea Party Express for costing us 3 senate seats for the next 6 years. These candidates may not be ideal to you but they may be the best we can hope for in these states.
In the end Sharon Angle ran a great attack campaign against Reid but she had baggage that made it an uphill climb,and that gave Reid this opening. She had said things that were popular in the Republican primary that she couldnt or wouldnt explain in the general election. Rand Paul had much better luck in a more conservative state and sounded better on TV than Angle. On MSNBC they were actually declaring last night a victory for Democrats for saving Reid, GAG.
On the bright side, I think Reid continuing as Senate majority leader with 53-54 is the worst situation for Democrats and Obama 2012. If Republicans had the 53 they would be in for two rough years. This makes it very difficult for Obama to veto budget bills and blame Republicans for everything.
“Fifty-five percent of voters disapproved of the job he has done, while 44 percent approved. Such numbers might seem a sure indicator of defeat, and yet by Tuesday night, Reid was leading his supporters in a victory celebration.
The exit pollsters also asked whether Reid, running for a fifth term in the Senate, has been in Washington too long. Fifty-five percent of voters said yes, while 41 percent said no. And still Reid won”
Harry “LBJ” Reid?
I, my wife and everyone I know did our part to get rid of Harry. Las Vegas votes decided this. And, we know who was in charge of the voting machines there.
Make Nevada the first intensive and extensive investigation of voter fraud. Send in teams of investigators and lawyers to dig all the dirt; demand prosecution and jail time for the obvious perpetrators.
There’s a lot of dipsh*t NV Repub who endorsed Harry Reid too.
I guess the good thing is Reid is still the face of the Dem Senate going into 2012, which does not bode well for Obama’s reelection.

If it is wrong here...then it is wrong there.
Knowing how our Unions work I really don’t believe the Nevada election was on the up and up, but that’s just me.
You considered Castle a Republican?
BTW, your facts are wrong. Coons will face re-election in 2014.
And do you think that Reid didn't pull some strings to ensure his re-election that no Republican could have overcome, even one of your RINO favorites?
Let's just ignore all the Tea Party candidates who made it into office. Let's ignore all the good they did and focus on a few fraud-drenched elections.
He "borrowed" votes from his son, too many votes!
