Muth’s Truths: March 30, 2010
• About ten to fifteen years ago, the word “liberal” was almost like a curse, so the Left made a concerted effort to eliminate using the word in politics and campaigns. Instead, they renamed themselves “progressives.” It’s rare today to meet a Democrat politician who will admit to being a liberal even if they’re as […]
Probably Wasn’t a Good Idea to Drag Me Into this One
Here’s what Tea Party of Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Scott Ashjian sent to “Face to Face” host Jon Ralston this afternoon in response to those Tea Party Express television ads calling Ashjian a “fake” and telling him to “get lost.”
Scott Ashjian, Tea Party Crasher
Outsiders who aren’t part of the tea party movement can’t seem to understand why most tea party activists are so opposed to the formation of the Tea Party of Nevada (TPN) party in Nevada – and especially the candidacy of this poseur Scott Ashjian, TPN’s pretty-boy candidate for U.S. Senate.
The Further Misadventures of “Chemtrail” Jeff
There are hard-core Ron Paul supporters who will never get over the 2008 Nevada Republican convention. In their made-up minds, then-GOP Chairman Sue Lowden was the bad guy and nothing will ever convince them otherwise. But as we all know, there are always two sides to every story. The other side of the story is […]
Tea Party of Nevada Organizers Identified, Named
I have obtained the names of the 315 people who signed the petition to create the Tea Party of Nevada. And two things immediately leap out when reading the list.
Chris Comfort is a Boob
I’ve been advised that Chris Comfort, the Greatest Nevada Republican Party Chairman of All Time (in his own mind) sent a memo to the Republican National Committee (RNC) after he was elected listing a number of people he told them they were not to contact. I’m also told that list included yours truly. I’ll have […]
If It Walks Like a Socialist and Talks Like a Socialist…
FOX News yakker Bill O’Reilly says Barack Obama isn’t a socialist. He notes in a recent op/ed that the American Heritage Dictionary defines socialism as a social organization in which the means of distributing and producing goods is owned collectively. “As long as he isn’t nationalizing industry or purloining private property,” O’Reilly wrote, “I don’t […]
Muth’s Truths: February 22, 2010
The darling of the conservative right these days is supposed to be Sarah Palin. But Palin stiff-armed this year’s CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference), declining an invitation to speak after initially agreeing (probably because CPAC doesn’t pay its speakers). Kinda like declining to finish a term in office as governor after initially running for and […]
Muth’s Truths: February 20, 2010
The establishment and the insurgent “tea party” conservatives came together for the 2010 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, DC, this week. By all estimates, attendance this year will break ever CPAC record in history. I wonder what the difference is?
Muth’s Truths: Febuary 2nd
The Nevada University Board of Regents is meeting today to discuss the higher education budget. And you can bet there will be liberal dose of Armageddon-like hand wringing about necessary spending cuts – which is kinda weird since the board, I’m pretty sure, is the ONLY major governing entity in the state, including the Legislature, […]
Muth’s Truths: February 1st
Here’s a shocker from The Hill on Saturday: “The $700 billion bailout program for the financial industry has so far done little to boost bank lending, aid small businesses or reduce home foreclosures, a top government watchdog said in a report.” Thanks for nothing, Harry.
Muth’s Truths: January 29th
According to Ben Spillman’s “Political Eye” blog, Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, who is toying with entering the GOP primary race for the opportunity to take on Sen. Harry Reid next November, said, “I believe I can beat Sen. Reid. We need someone who can win.” Um, excuse me. But polls have shown that almost […]
Muth’s Truths: January 28th
Tongues were wagging in Nevada political circles yesterday over foul-mouthed Rep. Dina Titus dropping the F-bomb in telling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that if Democrats don’t get their stuff together fast, they’re all “(expletived).” What a classy broad.
Muth’s Truths: January 27th
Not that there’s anything particularly political about this, but while I love my new iPhone I hate AT&T’s cell service. Just thought it needed to be said.
Baby Tark’s Hatchet Man
Some people may be wondering where and why Danny Tarkanian has suddenly sunk to such negative and, frankly, dishonest campaign tactics against fellow Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sue Lowden. And I think I now know. The answer to that question could well be summed up in two words:
Me and My Benz
The Assembly Ways & Means Committee, as Jonathan Humbert of Channel 8 News explains, is a “powerful group (of legislators which) controls spending and a large part of the tax revenue for Nevada.” Its chairman is Assemblyman Morse “Moose” Arberry.
The Chronicles of Whine-ia
Here’s the latest example of just how bad things are for poor, ol’ UNLV workers. Seriously, break out your hanky for this one from Laura Kaprelia [Laura.Kaprelian@unlv.edu] folks. It’s a real tear-jerker.
