why i am voting for senator reid.
rhonda and i both voted for sen. reid and here is why.
1. as a resident of nevada which is a very small state population wise, if senator reid were defeated we would have no stroke in washington. ms. angle could not even get the state legislature to back any of (well, she only had two) measures, and in washington she will be dead last on the pecking order which would put nevada dead last as well. if you think the republican establishment is going to let ms. angle have a voice you are delusional.
2. senator reid is against yucca mountain as a depository for nuclear waste until it can be shown, beyond any doubt that it is safe. ms. angle backs the republican side and wants yucca mountain to go forward.
3. senator reid has tried over and over again to "fix" social security and has presented good ideas on the subject. ms. angle wants to phase out ss and replace it with private accounts in the stock market, which is an absolutely horrible idea. the recent crash was bad enough but had bush managed to privatize ss it would have devasted the elderly in this country.
4. senator reid and the democrats realize that our schools are falling behind all other industrialized countries and has worked tirelessly to improve school performance and managed to get a big part of the stimulus for nevada which saved thousands of teachers jobs. ms. angle wants to do away with the dept. of education which would start a movement that ensures the rich kids have good schools and the poor (blacks and browns especially) would be stuck with the very worst if any at all.
5. senator reid is very knowledgeable in foreign affairs while ms. angle refuses to answer any question whatsoever about f.a.'s probably because she knows nothing about it. (what other reason could there be for her refusal?)
6. senator reid has reached out to all minorities while ms. angle has run a campaign based on fear. her latest tv ad which shows supposed "illegals" coming supposedly acrosss our borders shows them to all look like gang members in a blatant attempt to demonize all hispanics. look, if we were to actually fix our immigration policies and make it easier for people to achieve citizenship we would all be better off. and if corporations were not using illegals they wouldn't be coming. i repeat something i have said before, check out tyson foods or any of the meat packing plants and you will see that at least 50% of the workers are lillegals. senator reid has tried over and over to get reform through while the republicans use it as a campaign issue and offer no plans other than strict enforcement but that is just a smoke screen because of SEE CORPORATIONS USING ILLEGALS. the constitution which republicans so often want to quote leave the question of immigration to the federal government so, knowing that, the arizona bill is just pure politics and offers no long term solution.
7.ms. angles repeated use of the term "second ammendment solutions" reeks of treason. it is a thinly disquised call for assissination of public officals including senator reid. she said, "i hope we solve this by this election and that we won't have to use our second ammendment rights". WHAT THE FUCK!!! and she has said this OVER AND OVER. and will not answer any questions about it. my god, people, this woman is not only out of touch, she is flat out dangerous. there are some real kooks out there with hate in their hearts and guns in their homes who can be easily led to violence. (does timothy mcveight come to mind? he was motivated by rhetoric very similar to ms. angles.
8. senator reid worked for the passage of a national health care system, which is something we desperately need in this country. the one passed is only a step in the right direction and needs much more work but WE MUST HAVE A NATIONAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. we have millions of people without health care ins. and they are in daily risk of losing everything to medical costs. facts are facts and the fact of the matter is we spend more on health care and get less than any other industrialized nation. we are the only industrialized nation that has citizens going bankrupt because of medical bills. ithe insurance companies and the hospital cartels have increased costs way beyond the rate of inflation for the past two decades while they are swimming in profits and we are drowning in debt. ms. angle wants to overthrow the health care passed and go back to where we were.
unacceptable to me.
9. i believe the right wing of the republican party and ms angle is surely part of the RIGHT WING is so beholden to the corporations that support them that a republican senate would move our country backwards to the days of gwb with tax breaks for the rich and the corporations and the erosian of all social services to the poor and the needy.
it is our country, it is our state of nevada and it is our future and our children's future at stake here; a republican victory and god forbid a republican president in 2012 would destroy our country. reagan, bush and bush damn well tried and the next time they may succeed. however, i must also say that the democrats are not much better (but they are better) and we really do need a true THIRD PARTY. one that is not beholden to the monied interests, one that speaks for the majority of the people who are believe are IN THE MIDDLE AND NOT ON THE EXTREMES WHETHER THEY BE LEFT OR RIGHT...EXTREME IS EXTREME. but until then, i must put my hopes and my vote in the hands of the democrats who i believe are more in tune with the common man than the republican party which, i believe, are corporate hacks.
