There is nothing unusual about this. It happens all the time. In 2006, the Democrats asked the Vermont Progressive Party not to run anyone for their at large House seat so the Republicans wouldn't win it. In 2008, the Republicans tried to talk several Libertarian candidates out of running for state legislature because they were afraid it would hurt their chances at keeping a majority.
This is not going to hurt Angle. In fact, she got the endorsement of the largest newspaper in Nevada over the weekend, which in the past has always endorsed Harry Reid.

Yea, right. They're run by Dick Armey and financed by the Koch brothers.no,, they donut!

teabaggers run by a dick army and cock bros.
sounds about right.
but they are real americans.
do the tea partiers have to take a stupid test before they're allowed to run for office?
Yes, and some of them STILL have to write the answers on their hand.

So the conservatives and Tea Party whackos keep telling us they believe in principles.

This happens all the friggin' time with LP candidates...Some GOP state bigwig usually calls the candidate in question, to ask them to drop out using the stale old "siphoned off vote" excuse...To which the standard reply is; "well if you don't think you can win with me on the ballot, why don't you drop out of the race?"
Absolutely nothing to see here.
There is nothing unusual...
What is new -- if you bothered to read the posts, is that the Tea Party nutjobs, The Right Wing Lunatic Brigade @ USMB attacked the offerings as bribes when it was business as usual for people they disagree with. This as they lecture everyone else on their so called principles.
but you missed the point of the OP maybe you should read it. Sharon Angle was caught on tape dissing everyone behind their backs and offering a power broker role, before she's even won anything. Corruption always seems to grow faster when conservatives are involved. Look at how corrupt the GOP Congress got in a few short years after the GOP took over control from Democrats who took decades to be as corrupt

No we, the conservatives who post on this board keep telling you that. We never said that most of the assholes who end up representing us, or trying to, did.

It not unusual but what is unusual is that Republicans dont see anything here but see something nefarious behind the Dems asking someone to drop out.
It's a clear double standard unless you're giving a pass to the Dems also...Are you?

I'm not a republican, and taking note that something happens is neither approval nor disapproval.Exactly.There is nothing unusual about this. It happens all the time.

Happened to the LP candidate in CO 56, back in '98, when I was helping her with the campaign.This happens all the friggin' time with LP candidates...Some GOP state bigwig usually calls the candidate in question, to ask them to drop out using the stale old "siphoned off vote" excuse...To which the standard reply is; "well if you don't think you can win with me on the ballot, why don't you drop out of the race?"
Take a look at the Colorado gubernatorial race. The "third party" candidate is polling ahead of the corrupt Republican, but the will the GOP drop out of the race? Not a chance.
Exactly.
