Nevada is not Massachusetts

Republicans, Conservatives, and others who value liberty and reject authoritarian, statist, “collectivist” government have a great reason to be happy tonight. Scott Brown’s election in Massachusetts shows that even people in a liberal state are finally catching on to what Obama and his “progressive” (actually REgressive) allies in Congress are trying to do to this (once) great country. I’m really happy about Senator Brown’s victory but I don’t think it means a cake walk for other Republican candidates, even in states a lot more conservative than Massachusetts. I’m especially worried about my adopted home state of Nevada. I hate Harry Reid and the policies he is trying his best to impose on us. In a state that is further to the right than most of our center-right country, Harry “Pelosi” Reid pushes a radical left wing agenda that is bad for Nevada, bad for the country, and bad for anyone who values liberty and freedom. Don’t know why he does it, but he does, so he NEEDS TO BE DEFEATED in this year’s election. The problem is… take your pick:

  1. The Republican Party is too fractured in Nevada. There are something like 8 Republican candidates (or more?) running in the primary. Do we really need this many? IMHO, if the Republican candidates really cared about defeating Reid’s agenda, couldn’t they get together and agree on 1 or 2 candidates to run in the primary? If they can’t hang together, then surely they (and Nevada voters) will hang separately.
  2. There is a very real danger that a conservative or libertarian will run as a third party candidate. In Massachusetts this didn’t matter because not enough voters are of that bent to have an effect in a general election. In Nevada, that’s not the case. A conservative or libertarian candidate would strip enough votes away from the Republican candidate to ensure a victory for Reid.
  3. Too many useful idiots think that Nevada having our Senator as majority leader somehow benefits Nevada. Never mind that we get only .63 of every dollar in Federal taxes we pay, or that we got less than 1% of the stimulus money, or that Senator Reid pushes policies that most Nevadans disagree with, gee, he’s the majority leader… So what???
