Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act – Vote Agreed to (61-39) Nomination of Elena Kagan, of Massachusetts, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States – Vote Confirmed (63-37) |
It is interesting to note that Senator John Ensign voted NO on the bill the Senate passed to provide aid to the states, including Nevada, to help Nevada extend Medicaid, secure and retain the jobs of teachers. Notice also that Senator Harry Reid voted YES.
Wonder why Senator Ensign voted to ignore Nevada who desperately needs some financial assistance currently?

Angle Leads Reid in Rasmussen Poll
Sharron Angle still holds a slight lead over Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada’s U.S. Senate race. [Rasmussen Reports]
Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Nevada shows Angle earning 48% support, while Reid, the state’s longtime Democratic senator, picks up 41% of the vote. Eight percent (8%) like some other candidate in the race, while just two percent (2%) are undecided.
Doesn’t really surprise me about Nevada’s voters.
Two weeks ago Angle posted a 50% to 39% lead over Reid. Reid appears to be gaining some ground. The survey covered 500 Likely Voters in Nevada and was conducted on June 22, 2010.
Angle gets 85% of the vote from those who consider themselves members of the Tea Party movement. Forty-three percent (43%) of Nevada voters believe the Tea Party movement is good for the country, but 37% say it’s bad.
Wonder just how strong the Tea Party is in Nevada? Anybody know?

Angle ducks media
Senate nominee Sharron Angle (R-NV), who has adopted a pattern of avoiding all media except for friendly right-wing radio and TV talk show hosts, had an amusing run-in with a local CBS station’s reporter in Las Vegas — who repeatedly asked her tough questions. [Talking Points Memo]
The CBS reporter asked Angle about her campaign statements on her website about “transitioning out” of Social Security. She denied meaning she wanted to eliminate the Social Security program—instead she wanted to save it. She said “You believe the Harry Reid lie.”
She wouldn’t answer a question about her statement that “Second Amendment remedies” if Congress is not reined in.
I’m afraid that Sharron Angle is sort of like Sarah Palin. An air head. That Nevada voters could elect her over Harry Reid doesn’t make sense. But sometimes Nevada voters don’t make sense.

Sharron Angle was a Democrat
It doesn’t really matter much to me what political views are held by Mrs. Angle. But, according to the Associated Press, Mrs. Angle was a registered Democrat from June 1984 until March 1988.
She left the Republican Party during the zenith of the Ronald Reagan and re-registered as a Democrat. Kind of surprised me to learn that. She apparently didn’t mention her Democratic background during her campaign.
Wonder if she is another Arlen Specter?
Nevada registration records show that Angle was a member of three, and possibly four, political parties since the 1970s and she might have left the GOP for more than a decade. According to the Associated Press.
She was registered to the Independent American Party in 1996 switching to the Republican party in 1997.
National Republicans are promising to bankroll her campaign against Harry Reid.
She apparently has difficulty in making up her mind about just who she is. She has stated she wants to phase out Social Security and Medicare, but has since turned around saying “I want to save Medicare and Social Security.”
As far as I know she has not provided any details of any plan to either save or phase out Social Security or Medicare. She’s going to have to fish or cut bait at some point.
