Will she appear on Maddow's show tomorrow?

The DNC just faxed over the Rand Paul script to the Harry Reid campaign. ;)

Will she appear on Maddow's show tomorrow?

no, Rand is the only candidate that knows how to use the Muhammad Ali political strategy successfully.

no, Rand is the only candidate that knows how to use the Muhammad Ali political strategy successfully.

ouchhhhhhhhh.

[Fozz]

Awesome news.

[james1906]

The people of Nevada have spoken Lowden clear.

[Kotin]

that'll teach her to mess with us... maybe she will think twice next time about screwing us out of a victory.

[Brian4Liberty]

A victory!

[fletcher]

So cool. FU Lowden!!! :D

[lx43]

Phase out Social Security?
Get out of the UN?
Abolish the IRS?

no. no she won't.

Is she really for those things? I didn't see that when I glanced on her site.

So long as Lowden got stomped, all is well.

Yup. she's pretty hardcore. I like. If she wins, it will be her and Rand as the most conservative in the senate:


As your U.S. Senator, Sharron Angle will introduce legislation in line with her economic policy of:

Pay back the deficit
Cut back on spending, taxation and regulation
Take back the economy by defunding ObamaCare
Auditing the “Fed” (Federal Reserve)
Abolishing the 67,000-pages of IRS code
Making the capital gains and death tax cuts permanent


Sharron Angle supported and defended the Nevada Right to Work Law.

Sharron Angle supports a ‘balanced budget’ amendment to the Constitution.

Sharron Angle supports a single subject rule on all legislation to help eliminate pork attachments and earmarks, a supermajority two-thirds requirement for passing tax increases and spending increases and a restriction on spending growth to population plus inflation growth.

Sharron Angle is offended by bailouts, bonuses, stimulus packages and the loss of retirement accounts which continue to crater the American economy and enlarge America’s debt. These ruinous states of affair have brought rising unemployment and stock market instability.


Sharron Angle supports a constitutional amendment, restraining spending to no more than twenty percent of the GDP, with the exception of declared war and the requirement of a two-thirds vote of both houses to exceed the cap. Sharron Angle will work toward making a basket of commodities (metals, oil etc.) as a basis for maintaining the value of the U.S. currency.

[AuH20]

If both Rand and Angle win by healthy margins, democrats nationally will be jumping off rooftops. These are critical litmus test races. The DNC and the MSM are going to flood the airwaves with pure, unadulturated crap!:

But I think the big story here is Nevada. Harry Reid is weak. And Sue Lowden looked like a serviceable establishment GOP candidate who could take him out. But she self-destructed and the win looks like it will go to Sharron Angle, a hard-right Tea Partier who makes Rand Paul look like a bit of a trimmer. And no, that's not hyperbole.
This is the kind of result national Republicans have been desperately hoping to avoid. And it's the price of the 'energy' Republicans have been benefiting from on the right. In Nevada, you might say, their chickens are coming home to roost.

Our favorite website weighs in:

[Badger Paul]

Lowden lost because she represented all that many thought was bad about the GOP, its cronyism and its exclusive country club attitude. That's why she stole Ron Paul's delegates. She did exactly what an establishment tool would do. And in an anti-establishment political year, it was a toxic environment to run in.

And that was before her stupid comments about bartering for medical care.

Also losing tonight was Henry McMaster down in South Carolina in the governor's primary. He was dictator Sargeant-At-Arms of the GOP Convention in St. Paul who turned the convention hall into one big prison camp. He made sure to steal Ron Paul signs. He got what he deserved too.

You screw us, we remember. For a long time baby.

[Sentient Void]

Is it true that Sharron Angle supports making alcohol illegal and/or legislating morality? I hope not.

[0zzy]

I was going to post here and suggest that she change her amateur site into something more professional, but apparently she realized that because now she just has a splash page for now.

Also, is it me, or did Ron Paul revolutionize the "showing in real time how much money I'm raising" counter on the campaign websites?

[silentshout]

Is it true that Sharron Angle supports making alcohol illegal and/or legislating morality? I hope not.

Well, I read this earlier today:

"In an interview with Liberty Watch magazine, Angle expressed her opposition to legalizing marijuana, and added: "I feel the same about legalizing alcohol. "The effect on society is so great that I'm just not a real proponent of legalizing any drug or encouraging any drug abuse," Angle said. "I'm elected by the people to protect, and I think that law should protect." Asked whether legislating morality is appropriate, she added: "I don't think you can get away from that; people just make value judgments. We're not a neutral society. Politics, especially, are not neutral and no one can come to the table value-less or moral-less."

she didn't say anything horrid, but if she was expecting to get the stripper or "ladies of the night" vote with her "morals," she better forget about it!

She should run on abolishing the income tax on tips in Las Vegas. That should get her some votes!

[Sentient Void]

Well, if she supports prohibition, in Nevada of all places - that's fairly ridiculous :-/

I hope she's not another 'moralist'.... if that's the case I wouldn't consider her candidacy a win for liberty :-(

[free1]

The TEA Party speaks loud and clear!

And the media is totally confused....

The TEA Party is the sovereign People!

It's not a political party, it's we the sovereign People taking our country back!

Keep up the good work!

Vomit. Looks like Angle hates freedom, and liberty just as much as any other politician. She'll "let" you have some economic freedom, because she personally, doesn't like to pay income taxes, more than all likely. Theres really no substantive difference between a person like this, and your average tyrant.

Yep, there is no difference between paying income taxes and not paying them.

Yeah because all people who aren't an-caps are tyrants.

I'll take a radical Classical Liberal any day of the week. This has nothing to do with anarchism whatsoever. You think George Mason, or Frederic Bastiat, or Albert Jay Nock, was an anarchist (There can be a debate on whether Bastiat, or Molinari was the first an-cap, but most don't consider him one)?

She obviously doesn't believe in liberty, if she doesn't believe that people own their own bodies, but that "society" does, and thus, from her decree, she can tell me, and anyone else how they can use their own body.

Since shes personally against drugs, she believes that no one should be allowed. Since shes personally against the income tax, she believes that it should be abolished. She has no philosophy. Her only philosophy of Government is what she personally believes. Sounds no different than the average tyrant to me.

[XNavyNuke]

The question is: Is she "not a proponent" or is she an "advocate"? Then, if she falls into the "advocate" category, is she expecting to legislate national policy from DC or does she mean local communities should be able to vote for "dry counties" or prohibit the sale of alcohol on Sundays at their minimart?

Yeah, like I've said all along, there were no good candidates in the Nevada primary. Tarkanian had 2nd Amendment problems and a used car salesman vibe that made you wonder if his conservatism was genuine or just an opportunistic pitch. Lowden has the establishment tag plus the convention problems. Angle is a bit of a socio-con plus she's definitely a neocon on foreign policy.

I think the biggest thing that sets Angle apart though is the fact she genuinely doesn't seem that bright. The Liberty movement should keep its distance. She only won because she was the "none of the above" candidate and Nevada Republicans didn't like the top two. If she wins in the general election, it will again be because a majority of voters want to vote against Reid. My advice to Angle would be to keep a very low profile, hire someone intelligent to fix up your website, and try to make the election all about Harry Reid.

Nevada is probably the most liberty minded state in the nation and VERY WELL ORGANIZED Ron Paul, way more than New Hampshire... oh, except for Las Vegas which the unions/socialists have gobbled-up. But there's an very easy way of combating the Social Entitlement left for their votes.

Exactly what Angle wants to do.. Abolish the Inheritance/Estate Tax and Eliminate ALL Taxes on Tips. Bam...Vegas is won.

REID will also play the religious card (as usual) in attempting to take the Mormom Vote (East Nevada).

FUN TIMES... let's see what stunts the Big Party DEMS will pull.

Thats because NH cares little for politics outside of NH, and many activists in NH are not involved electorally.

Nevada is far from the most libertarian state in the Nation. No one comes close to NH, MT, and WY.
