Reid finally faced Angle. I will confess I did not watch, because it was not going to make me vote for Reid come hell or high water, but he proved himself completely inept to the task of debate. Before they went into the debate, local news agencies were talking about how Reid isn't practiced at debate because he does it so infrequently. Good thing they lowered the bar.
Angle didn't mop the floor with Reid, but she did win. If after 30 years in politics, Reid cannot mop the floor with his opponent, he loses. He has EVERY advantage in staff, in funding, and in experience. What is his excuse?
Many of Reid's comments infuriated me. Although Angle often comes across as stupid or uninformed, Reid is a blatant liar. There is no Social Security Trust Fund, Senator Reid. SHOW ME THE MONEY!
Instead of answering tough issues, Reid sidestepped them. He was asked a series of simple questions to which, in lieu of answers, he gave a series of lengthy editorials masquerading as answers that might sound like answers but missed the point. Reid makes a big deal of his extensive experience as a private lawyer (I can't tell that he ever was in private practice from public records), and so he should know very well that nicely effective obfuscation technique. Senator, Yes or No will do. Permission to treat the Senator as hostile?
Furthermore, Reid likes to take credit for things he did not do or for things that are not true. He made a big deal about the Citicenter project which he 'saved' but which is headed for bankruptcy now anyway, AGAIN. He makes a big deal about solar jobs, even though the power plant, down near Searchlight, laid off 80% of the workers a few weeks ago now that the panels are installed and online. He makes a big deal about saving medicaire when Obamacare has cut Medicaire $700 billion, which he calls an extension and a reform that maintains the program. He claims he has created jobs while Nevada leads the nation in unemployment. He claims he has helped stop foreclosures, but we're still the highest in foreclosure in the nation. He is a virus, a plague, and much as I am disenchanted with Angle, the best way to send Reid a message and stop him is to vote him out.
Some of his ads attack Angle for hypocrisy. Angle has been 'retired' for several years. Yes, her husband is on a Civil Service pension, but they have already abandoned the 'massages for inmates' and 'scientology policy' attacks because they are not true. Reid is a millionare many times over, and he says he 'invested his money wisely that he earned in private practice'. Reid claims she won't force insurance companies to provide coverage. She's right; why do I need to be covered for a mammogram? Senator Reid wants to force people to do what he wants. He is off his rocker.
Harry Reid does what he does to buy votes. He uses other people's money to buy your vote. He does not give his money away, put on a toga and go to India to help the poor. Harry wants power. He never does anything out of the goodness of his heart. He is interested in profit, and profit for him and his own family only. America is great, not because of Harry, but because of YOU. Thank God that Americans are not like him.
