Cashell, who switched from the Democratic to Republican Party on Aug. 12, 1983,...

Another self absorbed politician who needs to wear a belt AND suspenders to keep his pants up.

He’s not a RINO now. He’s a DIABLO.

Cashell was reacting to the way far-right senators mustered enough votes in the Senate GOP caucus to force Washoe Sen. William Raggio out as Republican floor leader after Raggio grudgingly supported Democratic U.S. Sen. Harry Reid’s reelection.

Your bias is showing, Mr. Journalist.

Gee. It’s just so mean to expect Republican floor leaders to support the Republican Senate candidate. Especially when the Democrat is Harry Reid.

So did Raggio and his pals think that disloyalty to the GOP would be ignored by his colleagues?

And by the way, if the right wing of the caucus can put together a majority...yeah, they kind of are representative of the party, which means their opponents by extension aren’t. Sorry ’bout that.

Reno Mayor Bob Cashell, a former Republican state chair...
...backed Harry Reid in the 2010 campaign. Cashell is not only not a RINO, he's not a Republican, any more than Reid or his mobster friends are.

Sharron Angle, the Republican nominee for Senate in Nevada against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, has already lost one big-name Republican in the state: Reno Mayor Bob Cashell, who had previously supported Sue Lowden in the GOP primary — and now says he’s supporting Harry Reid.

“I think Sharron Angle is just too far to the right for me,” Cashell said on Wednesday, in an interview with the local NBC affiliate. “She’s an ultra-right winger. I can’t support her. I don’t support her.”

Cashell elaborated: “Oh she’s wild. She’s wild. I mean, with the wild ideas she has going back to Washington, our state will suffer and we would never get anything done. And so I’m supporting Harry Reid, and I will go all the way for Harry Reid.”

This is some of the most bizarre reasoning I’ve seen.

He quotes Reagan’s big-tent philospophy. Reagan also said “thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican.”

So...wouldn’t that extend to “thou shalt not support a Democrat against a fellow Republican even if you don’t agree 100% with said Republican?”

???

These clowns are part of the ruling class Republican party of Nevada that destroyed Angle’s chances during the recent election. Plain and simple explanation....follow the money. Reid had them in his back pocket.

I think that that is the very essence of RINOsity.

I think all we have to do is follow the casino money in this case.

Besides the fact the guy is a freaking liar by saying he didn’t endorse Reid when he absolutely did!

Reno Mayor Bob Cashell was first elected in 2002 and re-elected in 2006. Cashell has said that his 2010 bid for one more term will be the last. Past political experience includes serving on the University of Nevada Board of Regents from 1979 to 1982 and a term at Lieutenant Governor of Nevada from 1982 to 1986. Cashell is in the hotel/casino business in the Reno area.
