Vote For Me and I'll Tell You What I'll Do AFTER I Take Office...

Amen! Annie

That she will; however, a few more like her and we'll be in some serious trouble! Annie

It would be comic if so many serious issues were not riding on her decisions. Sadly, there are more like her that may get to Washington. She claims to be a constitutionalist. Huh? I live in Nevada and frankly, she scares me.

She scares all of us. I am typing at 6:21 on election day. There is still time to send her packing.

She makes the classic movie "dumb blond" look like a rocket scientist, doesn't she? Also, doesn't everyone love how she says these stupid, outrageous things with that same smile on her face all the time, as if she has some kind of secret none of us know about. Annie

Regarding Obamacare - I stated elsewhere, we had to experience it in tangible form so as to counteract all the hyperbole. And now that we are - it ain't going nowhere. People under 26 got to stay on their parent's insurance, kids who were denied insurance for preexisting conditions are now able to get medical care. More and more benefits will come up. One that I didn't even know about is that by 2013, every doctor who takes money from a pharmaceutical company will have to post it on a website for all to see. You want to see a momma grizzly? Take Obamacare care away from one whose kid benefitted.

ladybug, I agree with you there. To put such benefits (important benefits) in the hands of people that need them, and then decide to take them away is a terrible thing. It is amazing that most of obamacare will not come into play until after obama is out of office. Figures! The revamping of the entire healthcare system in the U.S. is a huge undertaking, and I am more convinced than ever, that it is way too big of a task for our current mode of government. The government policy side is taken care of. The correct people, and committees put together the information to make up this 1000 page bill. In this case, it is totally a democrat work product, as Republicans were excluded. (bipartisanship obama style). The contents of a comprehensive healthcare bill has almost unlimited consequences and impacts for individuals, businesses and government. The majority of these significant issues really needed valid discussion from all different aspects to make sure the best decisions were being made. I do not think this happened, since few really knew what the bill contained. I think careful planning could have pinpointed ways to fix specific areas and make an existing good healthcare system better than it ever was. Last point, a nation's healthcare system cannot be best designed when we are looking at individual cases and personal hardship. The design must be from a higher level if it is to succeed. That success may depend on scaling back obamacare in ways certain people do not like.

I wouldn't scale it back. I would make it single payer, like most other civilized nations. Did you not watch the healthcare summit, or Obama addressing the republicans in office? He was willing to listen to practical and doable ideas. To insure 300 million people will cost money, and the republicans said they had a way it wouldn't. When reviewed by chief economists, they all proved not to work. They had no plans. The mandate was originally a republican idea when Hillary Clinton championed universal healthcare. Much of this has adopted republican ideas. But because they didn't get 100%, you call it a half compromise. From the GOP team itself, I bring you FOX. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/27/republicans-hatched-idea-obamas-health-insurance-mandate/ http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/27/republicans-hatched-idea-obamas-health-insurance-mandate/ http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/03/24/1545524/individual-health-insurance-mandate.html

She isn't Dingy Harry. That is good enough, election over!

Not so fast - early votes show Harry in the lead.

You're right - she's not Harry. She's just Dingy. Case closed.

Spall, Annie

Glad you liked that whiteheather.

I'd say it take a he11 of a lot to be more incompetent than Angle. They can actually vote for "none of the above" in Nevada; I'll root for that option over Angle. Annie

I must say it's hard to determine which one is MORE incompetent. I'd certainly be looking for a third party candidate if I were there.

Here it is on video. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/plum-line/2010/10/sharron_angle_ill_answer_those.html

I don't see that as a reason to vote FOR Angle but a reason to vote AGAINST Reid. After all, if you vote for Angle you have no real idea what she will do! Annie

I'm waiting to hear the answer to your question, too, Ladybug.

I don't think anyone is going to answer that question! When I posted this I actually thought I'd get a few responses from people who would have something positive about Angle, or something they considered to be positive even if we wouldn't agree. I'm about ready to concede this isn't going to happen. I explicitly said in the OP we've already heard the arguments against Harry Reid and I was asking for a reason to vote FOR Angle, but the most popular answer seems to be some version of, "She's not Reid" along with comparisons to Pelosi and Obama. I don't think I've ever seen such a thing before! There's always somebody with something positive to say about a candidate! Annie

Why do you support Sharron Angle? What policies and ideas has she put forth that you like?

When obama got defensive on the late nite comedy show (Stewart), he said that they had accomplished 90% of what they intended to do in the first years. Look at our country and then tell me that this guy isn't psycho! Let's call him looney obama hussein and send him packing as soon as possible.

Here you go. http://obamaachievements.org/list Give it a read. It's public knowledge, to those who want to know what the mainstream media has managed to keep under wraps.

Here - check the truth of meter regarding his promises. Half are in the works, 122 kept, 41 compromised, 82 stalled. http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/

She's said it on several occasions; she's said she'll answer questions about the wars when she's a Senator, she's said she'll answer questions on various issues once she's a Senator. She's also complained about insurance companies having to cover mammograms, maternity care and "autism" - which SHE put in air quotes. She's talked of "Second Amendment Remedies"...but we're not supposed to be concerned about that. We're also not supposed to be concerned about her talking about privatizing Social Security, Medicare and the Veterans' Administration. Oops, then it became "personalizing" and it may have become one of those things she never said. You're right, I would never vote for Sharron Angle. I probably wouldn't vote for her even if there were some things I agreed with her on since she's such a flake you just never know what she'll say tomorrow. I wanted to know because nobody had given a single reason other than "she's not Harry Reid". Annie

Politicians make way too many promise. They promise as if they are the sole decision maker. Once they are elected they are part of a political body and culture and their promises mean nothing. It is more important to actually look at how a politician in office has voted and what he has done. Of course, there is very little truthful reporting of that during campaigns.

Sadly, ladbybugmagic, it apparently does have an impact with some. Look at how some of them here use it all the time. Annie

Or on the main stream media, which is primarily conservatively owned. And, coincidentally, they will always stress Obama's middle name as if it has some sort of impact.

Yes, thank God common sense won out! Actually, at least most of the extremists running for the Senate lost. Buck, O'Donnell, Angle and hopefully Miller. The one I wished would lose that won is Rand Paul - now he's dangerous or has the potential to be if there were enough like him. Of course, among the incumbents in the Senate I sure would have loved to see Jim DeMint get beaten but his opponent just didn't have it. Annie

...Hi annie, Demint has many, many supporters with money bags, it would take a steamroller with much moola to remove him. But I thought I heard that he was leaving whatever position he has there, is he going to run for president?? Rand Paul has stated so far that he will not vote to raise the debt ceiling, get this because he knows it will get passed without his vote. Playing the game already. He is dangerous as all of those with his mindset are. He can filibuster all by himself and hold up whatever he wants too. I seriously think that nothing is going to move and I am so happy that President Obama got most of what he wanted to pass done in his first two years. Smart, very smart. Take care.

I think this year it's worse than ever before. There are so many extremists that it's really scary to think what may happen if more than one or two of them actually get elected. Annie

I don't know if it's online or not, I saw and heard it with my own ears and it wasn't edited. A reporter was following her through the airport asking her what she thought about the two wars we're in. The last words I heard on tape were, "The two wars we're in is exactly what we're in." I understand, but didn't hear her actually say it, she told the same reporter that giving an interview at the airport would disrupt airline security. Annie
