Sharron Angle addresses media for 3 minutes on taxes then bolts - Thursday, July 22, 2010 | 2 a.m. - Las Vegas Sun

PARKS — After more than a month dodging the press, Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle on Wednesday invited reporters to an event intended to amplify her campaign message that lower taxes and less regulation are the only ways to spur economic recovery.

It was the first time since her primary victory that she had agreed to mingle with the media. Political observers speculated it might signal a shift in Angle’s post-primary strategy of using the media solely as fundraising mechanisms.

Alas, Angle’s more media-friendly moment was over almost as soon as it began.

In the warehouse of a family-owned clean diesel manufacturer in Sparks, Angle delivered a three-minute speech on her desire to permanently repeal the estate tax. When invited by the final speaker to stay and answer a few questions, she turned on her heel and rushed out a back door with a small cadre of staff members.

Reporters, including one who is six months pregnant, chased after her, calling out questions on unemployment benefits and other topics she has largely refused to address.

Reid spokesman Jon Summers called Angle a hypocrite for advocating a repeal of the tax and not offering a way to pay for it.

“You know what her approach would also do? It would add about $500 billion to the deficit,” Summers said. “Which is a pretty high price to pay just to give Paris Hilton a tax cut.”

Does anyone have to wonder why at this point that Angle is somehow worse than Harry Reid?

Three minutes? Even Sarah Palin lasted longer in office before she bolted.
 
Nobody is worse than the socialist Harry Reid...

I thought nobody could be worse than Harry Reid either. But looking at her continue to just make gaffe after gaffe and have crazy positions just makes me shake my head. The Nevada GOP/Tea Party really blew it on this one.
 
Who cares? It has to be 'Anyone but Reid' out there at this point. Hopefully his corruption & incompetence will be a thing of the past very soon. Btw,i support Angle's position on taxes. Reid gotta go.

It's good to hear that you know Harry sucks ass...

Nevada will decide if Angle should represent them... Those of us in other states really have no say - only opinions...

Replacing "corruption and incompetence" with even worse corruption and incompetence is not the solution. We should not reward Angle simply because her name isn't Harry Reid. What the GOP/Tea Party need to do is see this as a learning experience and not nominate someone completely batshit next time.
 
Yea and how bout that Reid & Pelosi 11% approved Congress? You guys have a lot of nerve smearing Angle considering the disaster you guys have been. Gallup's recent polling has this Dem-led Congress registering the lowest approval rating of any other U.S. Congress in History at a shocking 11%. 11 F*cking %?? YIKES! Yea you guys go ahead and keep smearing Angle. It's not going to be enough for you. Go Angle!
 
Harry Reid has done a great job for neveda and they will deside wether to trade the most powerful man in the senate for a wack job.

Im voting for Reid

Have the Democrats called her a "Racist" yet? I'm sure that will be next in their smear campaign. I hope Angle kicks some Democrat A*s out there. Reid's an incompetent & corrupt dunce. He really does gotta go.

Shame on you...

Nope. If you will notice House, he specifically mentioned Gallup. And I showed him the only link I've seen from Gallup lately on Congress.

If you look, the others in the Congressional Job Approval polls show pretty much the same story...

If you want to believe the D's are in good shape for November, go for it...
