DHR*, Roger Hedgecock, Vegas, and Me
*DHR = Dump Harry Reid. Just in case you were wondering.
Fox News Radio’s Roger Hedgecock was here yesterday supporting a Tea Party rally for the Republican candidate for Senate, Sharron Angle. It was great, but I made a very, very interesting observation.
First, I got there late because Roger’s on-air hours are 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm Pacific time, and I don’t leave work till five. Fortunately, it’s a pretty straight shot of about 10-ish miles to get to Stoney’s North Forty where the event was held.
When I got there, Sharron had just about finished her interview with Roger and was speaking to the media – the local ABC, CBS, and Fox News stations were there, and I’m sure the NBC folks were as well. It was pretty jammed.
I don’t have to tell you that the Dump Harry Reid emotion is running at fever pitch. Just in case you were wondering why we want to dump someone who has such seniority, let me ‘splain.
Under “Prince Harry,” as he’s called by the conservative media, Nevada has become:
- #1 in Foreclosures
- #2 in Unemployment
- #2 in dropout rates
- Moved from our standing as “best place to live” to “run screamin’”
And more.
And of course while he was bribing other states to support his unconstitutional health fiasco (Cornhusker Kickback, etc.), he overlooked Nevada again. I mean, he was all for it. Why bribe himself? Not that we wanted it … it was just another demonstration of his total lack of concern for the people who elected him to office. We’re so ready for him to go.
Several points were brought out last night at the rally. One is that in spite of the fact that Harry’s spent A LOT of money attacking Sharron Angle – even before she won the nomination! – his numbers haven’t budged. We want him gone.
I did get the opportunity to speak briefly with Roger before he left. I pointed something out to him – the MSM was there, and I would bet that my face wouldn’t be seen on the air. In fact, there were about half-dozen or so black folks, several Asians, and a surprisingly large number of Hispanics. There was also a guy who was tattooed and pierced all over the place – yes, he was also a supporter!
The MSM wants you to believe that the only ones who attend Tea Parties or other conservative rallies are old angry white people. Well, there are a lot of old angry black people as well, particularly those of us who have had to work for a living and now see our American dream being nickled-and-dimed away from us. The Hispanics there were embarrassed about the fawning of the Media over the illegals, because they’d done everything right and are now bearing the brunt of 1) backlash from people who now see all Hispanics as illegal, and 2) the unwanted patronizing of the left. They don’t want the illegals here any more than the rest of us!
With that being said, you won’t see our faces on TV. We are too inconvenient, and prove that they’re lying about the Tea Party folks. I talked to several people, and didn’t find a racist in the group – of course, I was looking for the robe-wearing, Nazi-saluting, hate-spouting lynch mob that the MSM has declared makes up the Tea Party. Instead, I found my neighbors. So to speak. You know what I mean. Just folk.
The November is Coming website is new (to me), and if legislators ignore it, they do so at their own career peril. Which is great. Let’s hope they ignore it. At this time it doesn’t make much difference to me; anyone who gave a standing O to Calderon and who voted for the health care bill is toast to me. ESPECIALLY the standing ovation part – what a slap to the American people!
Now – here’s my request to you if you’re not living in Nevada. Please, please, please take a look at any of the Dump Harry Reid sites out there! Whether it’s Sharron Angle’s site, or any of the others (a quick Google will bring up lots!), please write to them, donate if you can, and encourage them. People here in Nevada need to realize that not only is Harry ruining everything for Nevada, but he’s a part of the destruction of the United States as we know it. I look at him as a traitor – he’s supposed to uphold the Constitution, not destroy it.
By the way, his own party is frustrated with him. Read this article to see who finished second to Harry.
I promise to try to write more often, especially as we spin into the election season. I had to have my old dog put down last week, and I’ve been in the dumps. But I’m better now, fired up, and ready to rant!
Stay tuned…
