Las Vegas Sun Editorial: Now the real battle begins: Race must be about Obama-Reid agenda

As the votes rolled in Tuesday evening it became apparent that Nevada's consummate conservative outsider, the former six-year Northern Nevada assemblywoman who used her own money to fight the state Supreme Court's appalling "Guinn v. Legislature" tax-hike decision through the courts, the woman whose anti-spending positions often put her on the losing side of votes tallied "41-to-Angle," Sharron Angle was going to win the right to challenge unpopular Democratic U.S. Sen. Harry Reid this fall.

Casino owner and former state Sen. Sue Lowden was the early front-runner. National Republicans anxious for a credible Reid challenger found instant true love with the attractive former TV newscaster, beauty queen, and USO showgirl, now a successful casino executive who carried herself well and her hefty family checkbook even better.

But in a three-way race, as famous coach's son Danny Tarkanian pounded his demand to cut off all benefits for illegal immigrants, Ms. Lowden's more moderate positions looked pale. Ms. Lowden said there were some parts of the Obamacare socialized medicine scheme we should keep -- another bowl of lukewarm oatmeal offered to frustrated conservatives in search of red meat.

As Ms. Angle piled up endorsements from the Tea Party Express and Gun Owners of America, it often seemed Ms. Lowden was running a moderate Republican campaign better suited to the last century than to a recession-wracked nation seeking a firebrand to rally the forces of freedom against the Obamanation.

In the end, the Angle surge is the best evidence yet that the "Tea Party" phenomenon is real.

Will this newfound constitutional and philosophical rigor mobilize the troops and carry the GOP to victory in November? Now comes a crucial month. Harry Reid -- the real career politician -- is doubtless chafing at the bit to condemn Ms. Angle as a "budget cutter with an ax," liable to close down whole federal departments, starting with the federal Department of Education.

Which is exactly what she was nominated for. . . ..

And, this is a "bad thing"? We need all our politicians to be "budget cutters with an ax" now. If we don't use the "ax", our nation is not likely to survive as we know it. Big spending is not the answer . . . never was and never will be . . .

She has some very radical views which will make it hard for independents ...
Retreating from the UN and such.

Retreating from the UN may be a radical view to some, but it really is not a bad idea for America to consider doing. And, actually, many people support this and this has been discussed in the past. The UN represents globalization . . . global this . . . . global that . . . America needs to be tending to her own needs now. The United Nations is a financial drain on America, while we are in serious financial trouble ourselves (and that is putting it mildly).

Even Bush said this: "We're a sovereign nation and we should do things because we want to do them," Bush said. "As far as things around the world that need help, like people where there's poverty and starvation, the United States is the one that is always there to take care of it anyway, and I'm sure we would, without the U.N. We do it all the time."

The UN is seemingly involved in nearly every dispute in the world now and are even involved in internal affairs of countries in some cases. We need to "spit" ourselves out of the system to save ourselves. Sovereignty could be at stake . . .
