Sharon Angle gains 20 points in a month in NV Senate bid

[The Patriot]

I like what he says here but TARP funds hve been spent or most of them. How can we cancel the whole 700 billion that was appropriated and spent and save 700 billion?

They have as off now spent 496.8 billion of the 700 billion. 200.2 billion isn't small potatoes, and it is important it not be spent and instead be used to pay off our debt.

Who is better Tark or Angle?

There is of course the danger that these two candidates split the tea party vote and Lowden wins.

If Angle dropped out, Tarkanian would win no doubt. She seems like she represents the more neo conservative branch of the tea party, where as Tarkanian represents traditonal conservatives and libertarians.

Maybe if she drops out and endorses Tarkanian, because when Angle was a nobody in the polls, Lowden was still leading. Angle took a lot of votes from her too.

Yes but he says it would save 700 billion. Where is he pulling figures from?

Lowden is in the lead, she is the favorite to win. Either something serious needs to happen, or she is going to be a U.S. Senator.

Sharron Angle is just another neocon. Straight out from her website:

"Israel is a democratic nation and ally in the Middle East. Their sovereignty, stability and security are in the best interests of the United States when dealing with radical Islamic terror. Our diplomatic dealings with Israel and all of our allies must always promote freedom around the world and we must encourage our allies to join us in sanctioning those nations who harbor terrorists and encourage tyranny."

Tarkanian seems to be the better candidate.

Anybody disagree?

The Ron Paul Nevadans have to have something planned. I remember these people paying for a couple dozen billboards in Iowa. They take their liberty seriously and have shown that they have the money to back it up. And it's very personal to them. Hell, it's personal to me and I don't live there. Or maybe I'm just expecting too much.

Problem with Tarkanian is that he is bad on guns. But both of them are much better than Sue Lowden, so I'll be happy if any of them win.

Although those two have weaknesses, they have positives. Examples:

Angle: Wants to abolish the department of education.
Tarkanian: Sounds like a non-interventionist.

I'd say the best course of action is attacking Sue Lowden, never attack Angle or Tarkanian, and in the last few weeks, support the one most likely to beat Lowden.

I think it's better to have someone who is anti-gun than someone who is pro-war. A lot of neocons are pro gun and pro war. Another thing about these neocons is that they tend to change stances on issues depending on what their money master has told them. I don't know if Tarkanian is an honest person either though.

Too bad there's no true libertarian candidate there.

Maybe, but would attack the pro-war who supports abolishing the dept of education and is right on everything else, knowing that you'll run the risk of getting Lowden elected? And remember you're doing that for someone who is not pro gun and seems to be fine with the Department of Education. From my point of view, it's anyone but Lowden.

I agree with you that Lowden is terrible and it certainly is a top priority to defeat her. Shouldn't we pick one of them though instead of saying either one so that the votes are less likely to be split between the two (Tarkanian and Angle)?

I think it's better to wait for two weeks before the election and go with the one who is in second place and has the momentum. Hopefully the third candidate can gracefully drop out and endorse the one in second place.

I thought the thread title was "Sharon Angle gains 20 pounds in a month in NV Senate bid".

On that note, who is Sharon Angle?

 

[DamianTV]

I'm torn on the Sue Lowden issue.

On one hand, she intentionally screwed Ron Paul.

On the other hand, she's the only candidate with a viable alternative to government health care :

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20003163-503544.html

Look at it this way, if she was willing to outright betray the entire Nevada Republican group, what do you think she would do when (if) she gets into office, hold up to her word? By way of comparison, take a look at George W. Bush and some of his speeches prior to him becoming president. His statements were that he was all for smaller government, and sold himself very well. Then we look at George W.'s background, son of George Bush Sr. who went to war with Iraq during his tenure, who was the grandson of Prescott Bush, who precipitated incidents for World Wars. The family is a bunch of Warmongers.

If you sincerely believe that Sue Lowden would be any different, I would only ask that you make up your mind on her actually representing YOUR beliefs.

I want to know more about Sharon Angle, but from a strategic point of view, I think I have to go with her as we know Reid is a snake having voted against the Audit the Fed and Sue Lowden having backstabbed every Republican in the State of Nevada, Sharon Angle being in 3rd place is the strategic choice, mostly because she DOESNT have anywhere the pull that Reid or Lowden has supporting her, which means she should be less of a threat (if she also turns out to be a snake) if we do get her into office.

I agree if Angle were to drop out Tark wins, but... Tark represents libertarians? LOL

Tark's campaign manager set up an appointment with Stewart Rhodes in search of Oath Keepers endorsement; the first thing Stewart asked Tark was a question about the 1st Amendment... Tark just stared back with a "deer in the headlights" look... Tark is an attorney and appears to know nothing about the Constitution. Stewart brought with him a pocket Constitution, gave it to Tark and said "first step is to know this..." Tark is an empty suit, he is better than Lowden but he is NOT the liberty candidate.

Angle is the liberty candidate (Bill Parson too, but he has no chance)

Sue Lowden is pure evil. She cost me a seat at the 2008 RNC

here's how it went down from front row...
National Chairwoman comes out from counting district ballots and whispers in Sue Lowdens ear...Sue stares in shock for a moment.....she then gets up runs over and whispers in Bob Beers ear....Bob immediately drops Gavel...game over adjourned...then they ALL run out the back door like the cowards and traitors that they are..

disgusting. are you guys going to run attack ads? even if you run them one day, maybe the media will pick up and make a story about the fraud.

The other thing to remember is Angle is the one candidate who actually stands a good chance of not winning the seat in the General election. Scientology is the last remaining socially acceptable prejudice, and her ties to that are going to be poison in the General Election.

My bottom line- I don't really care. There clearly aren't any true liberty candidates running in Nevada and every single one of the three have SERIOUS problems with respect to their stances on the issues, so I think I'm going to concentrate my attention on other states where more support worthy candidates can be found. I feel for Nevada voters, but I'm in the same bind here in Florida with the neocon Rubio sure to win the primary, Crist being even worse, and the Democrats offering a Maxine Waters clone. Ugh.

I can't remember the last time LPG and I were on the same side of an issue, but here it is. That sounds like a great plan.

The attack ads are also an amazing idea. The harsher, the better so the media picks them up. Throw something in there for sure about her rigging the convention and make her go on the defensive.

Angle is a Scientologist???
