Reid and Angle

In Nevada, the race is tight between Sharron Angle, Tea Party backed, and Harry Reid. In their recent debate, American's can see the two do not agree on anything.

In her opening statement, she said Reid was a career politician who lived in a fashionable condominium in Washington, D.C., part of a campaign-long attempt to cast him as out of touch with the state he has represented in Congress for decades.

Nearly 60 minutes later, she asked pointedly how Reid had started his political career with little money but now was among the Senate's richest men. "How did you become so wealthy on a government payroll?" she asked.

Reid paused long enough to say he was disappointed at the implication behind the question, then said she had her facts wrong. He said he had practiced law before entering politics, and had invested wisely in the years since.

Oh, yes, he invested wisely.

Reid tried painting Angle as an extremist, for various things like wanting to privatize Social Security. I'm not sure what is so extreme about doing that. Social Security is a socialist program that is in absolute ruins and depends on an IOU concept. When you have less procreation coming from the affluent and increased procreation from the part of the population that is either poor or less educated, it only stands to reason that more money is required from less affluent sources. It's a policy of guaranteed failure. If it's extreme to talk about other ways of protecting people in their elder years, then I guess I'm an extremist too.

I think Angle's last quote sums it all up:

"Harry Reid, it's not your job to create jobs," she replied sharply. "It's your job to create policy" that leads to the creation of jobs.
