Republicans for Reid

USA Today:

“In her home state, Angle has reputation for being a “thorn in the side” of Republicans, Damore said, and some Nevada leaders would prefer having Reid in office compared to a conservative newcomer. A number of Republicans have thrown their support behind Reid, including Reno Mayor Bob Cashell.”

Everybody wants to be on the winner’s side in politics, but it would be interesting to compare what happens if President Obama campaigns for Reid and Sarah Palin campaigns for Angle.

  1. Palin was not the favorite of the Republican establishment in Alaska, either, as far as I understand.

    My thought is that politics in the US is usually like foreign policy to many, being “realistic” about the way things are and trying to wiggle a bit to make things go to your advantage as much as possible, but basically supporting the status quo. For someone of either party to stand up and say they aren’t going to support the status quo does not usually win friends. At least that’s what it looks like to me.

    On the other hand, people can just be pushy and arrogant and rub others the wrong way. I don’t know enough about the person to know which it is, but hopefully the former.

    No matter how bad a candidate is, I’m not sure I can put up with a “Republican” that supports Harry Reid any more than a “Republican” that supported Obama.

  2. Any Republican that supports Reid must be named Arlen Spector Jr.

  3. #2 Ditto. Any person who supports Reid can not be allowed to continue in the Republican Party. They should build a pyre with lots of BP Oil and light the MFer on fire.

  4. I saw this at another website, and thought it would fit in nicely here. Sen Reid is essentially sockpuppeting the TeaPartiers with his own 527, trying to divide the Republican base, dishonestly. SHOCKA

  5. Perhaps if you changed the title to RINOs for Reid . . . .

  6. “…Palin was not the favorite of the Republican Establishment…” in either Alaska or DC, but they didn’t elect her, the Republican voters did.
    There’s a message there if the “establishment” isn’t too dense to decipher it.
    If they are too dense, their bones will be found at the bottom of some tar-pit by “Palinetoligists” sometime in the future.

  7. “RINOs for Reid . . . .”

    Losers for another loser. Anyone supporting Reid is beyond worthless. Fire them pronto.

  8. How very nice of them to reveal their true colors. Now we can avoid supporting them. Even a thorn in the side is better than something like Reid in his office.

  9. FUCK Harry Reid.. Slime ball

  10. Since they want to stand front and center and back Reid they should be excoriated and removed from the Nevada and national republican party. No party needs this type of opportunist looking to get favors returned if their backed candidate wins. This scum should be removed
