This is the party of family values:
Embattled Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) surprised many when he started gearing up for a 2012 re-election bid, amidst his sex-and-lobbying scandal. But according to a newly released PPP poll (D), Nevada’s junior senator remains popular among Republicans and is well-positioned in the state’s Republican primary.
Of course he is.
Looking at the dire 2012 Senate picture, I don’t see how we hold onto the Senate if we can’t pick up Nevada and MA- that would allow us to lose 5 and still have 50 (plus Biden). I think that’s best case right now unless Obama figures out a way to drastically change the political climate in this country right now.
Fortunately, two years is a long time.
What happens in Vegas…apparently doesn’t matter.

According to my handy conservativespeak translation manual, this makes perfect sense.

Family Values – Hate teh gheys and women, and anything that helps either. Also against inter-racial fraternization.
This just blows my mind. Can’t believe what is in their heads. But then, whatever. My SIL told me that friends he had in the Pentagon thought GWB was an idiot.. and then said of course, he would vote for him that year. And two years ago, he laughed about Sarah, but of course, he would vote for that ticket. And he is “supposed” to be a smart businessman. Ha.
Pretty depressing, actually.
(shrug) They’re just bigots. Nothing especially new or exciting about it. Pretty standard for America.
Boo:
Apparently, Jon Ralston(who should know) says not to believe the polls. According to him(which Kos quoted .. IIRC) the Nevada GOP might try and force him out, or otherwise get rid of him. They are afraid that he’s dead meat in the general election, and given Reid’s machine in Nevada, I can believe that.
This is heartening news to me. Jon Ralston is THE journalist on Nevada politics, and he gained a lot of credit after correctly predicting Harry Reid’s win in this election.
Not only did he fuck the wife of a staffer, and like David with Uriah, attempt to buy him off, but his PARENTS did the bribing. He is a fucking momma’s boy.
I love this comment
