Angle urges Nevada candidate to pull out, criticizes Republicans

Source: CNN

Nevada GOP Senate nominee Sharron Angle urged third party candidate Scott Ashjia to pull out of the race at a meeting last week, saying his campaign could result in re-election for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, according to an audio tape of the meeting recorded by Ashjia.

During the session, she offered Ashjian access to several Republican Senators and "whatever juice I have" to help persuade him.

"Anything I can deliver personally I am glad to," Angle told Ashjian,who is running as a Tea Party candidate, during the Wednesday night meeting.

Angle said she and Ashjian share the same views of why the current political system is broken, but told him the best way for her to achieve her goals was to run as a Republican.

Hereis Sharron Angle who has complained about the backroom deals of Washington getting caught in a backroom deal promising . She has also promised access to Washington Senators if the Tea Party candidate drops out. Nice!

1. Oh she is awful, awful, awful....I've told my relatives in NV
some of whom are GOP that they can vote for the None of the Above option if they want to vote against Harry Reid but any vote for Sharron Angle is a slap in the face to my autistic daughter, who THEY KNOW AND LOVE and who has it hard enough without getting scapegoated by the likes of her.....blank checks for wars and destruction and health care for autistic people is some kind of waste? bull SHIT. My GOP uncle DEF changed his mind after our talk.

I thought this was contrary to the Teabagger mission.

Anyone who can still support this nonsense is hopeless!

16. There is!
At least the Repukes think so. Remember how they went after Obama for allegedly offering position to Sestak to smooth the path of "sniveling, two-faced, opportunistic piece of shit, Arlen Specter?

Reich-wing howling to commence in 5...4...3...Whut? Oh. I see.....

7. The problem seems to be that
these tea party candidates can be dishonest, idiotic, hypocritical and totally devoid of any ideas to better people's lives and yet people still vote for them. There seems to be almost a backlash against sensible, honest behaviour and facts..

8. From Angle's Own Campaign Website
Sharron Angle honors both the law and the oath and will reject back door deals and closed secret meetings.

12. How odd. I thought she'd be cheering Ashjian on.
After all, without the "free speech" money that Alito and Roberts say can be used to finance campaigns such as hers,
her candidacy would be a footnote to Reid's re-election. Not so free speech?

20. Either she's afraid of coming in 3rd place in the race OR the Republican
party is encouraging her to meet with this guy to save the Republican party the embarrassment. Think about it a third party candidate pulls in a strong second it would make Third party candidates legit...

22. Hey Sharron....
...the only thing that can result in Harry Reid's re-election is your warped viewpoint coupled with your big mouth. So, health insurance shouldn't pay for autism or pre-natal care? Fine, if you get breast cancer should it pay for that?

I believe she gets health insurance on his policy. I think he worked for BLM, you know one of those regulatory departments-I wonder if she wants to get rid of that department too.

28. this morning's news on TV
just announced that the Review Journal is endorsing Angle. This is the paper that carried Coulter pieces of shite, surprise, surprise on the endorsement. We once had a competing paper, the Las Vegas Sun, but it's been melded into the RJ-just a section. I believe this happened after Greenspan died and his son took over the Sun. I wouldn't subscribe to the rag, but my in-laws do because it's the only paper in town.

My dad, back when I was in highschool told me that the RJ was more repug than anything. I disagreed with him at the time, stating that they were giving positive output on the democratic challenger. He told me to wait and see, that the paper wanted that challenger against the repug. Sure enough, after the primary, the RJ endorsed the repug. Daddy was right!!!!

I just cannot believe some of the people in this state, they'd vote for Hitler if he had an "R" by his name. I mean this is a woman, that allegedly back in the nineties made a stink over a school changing the color of their uniforms to black--with the argument that black is an evil color. This is a woman who wants to "personalize" social security or in other words "enronize" our retirement so Wall Street can get more money into their hands. This is a woman who wants to do away with the Department of Education, and probably every federal regulatory agency that is supposed to protect us, our food and water from corporate sociopathic greedheads. This is a woman that wants to privatize the VA, I mean, the corporations have served our soldiers so well in Iraq with tainted water (twice) and unsafe food and shocking showers. Not to mention all of our money they got to rebuild Iraq with some substandard schools, sewage plants and prisons. Oh, and all of those on unemployment ya'll don't deserve it because hey, you're just rolling around with all that dough and being lazy about finding a job. Really!!!!

If this woman wins in Nevada, I will completely lose my faith in the intelligence and commonsense of Nevadans. I mean it was bad enough they voted for Gibbons after all of the shite that came out before the election, but they still voted for him.
