Ed Meese stumps for local candidate (slams Reid)

[NVMojo]

March 22, 2006

Suffering from sinking approval ratings and disappointment from some in their conservative base, Republicans face a challenging election year, former President Reagan aide Ed Meese said Tuesday in Reno.

But the Democratic alternative will keep the GOP in power, particularly in Nevada, Meese said.

Acknowledging fiscal conservatives are unhappy with federal spending under a Republican Congress, Meese said it would be worse if Democrats were in charge.

"I hope people realize what the real stakes are," he said. "If Democrats took over the leadership posts, you would have some of the most irresponsible people in Congress as committee chairmen. Not only would there be an increase in irresponsible spending, you would also have a major tax increase. And that would hurt the economy."

He was campaigning for Assembly candidate Ty O. Cobb, whose father worked closely with Meese in the Reagan administration. Dissatisfaction with U.S. Sen. Harry Reid's performance as minority leader will drive Republican success in Nevada, Meese said.

Man, dead people do the strangest things.

6. and wasn't meese also very tight in poppy bush's asss?

it seems i recall him very tight with poppy who has now carted him out, just like he carted james baker out during the recount, as well as he carted out colin powell, contraalteza lice, blowbarrell cheney, yellowstainedteeth rumsfeld,and all the craven souls that kissed his ass during his four year term at the white house so that they could now wipe his son's ass.

11. Also involved in Iran/Contra

[WhiteTara]

12. he was Raygun's AG

and he was removed for corruption. IIRC, Raygun's administration was until now, considered the most corrupt in history.

[flordehinojos]

14. was meese one of the ones who was pardoned by the old man bush when he

left office? bush the malevolent pardoned several people for their involvement in the inran-contra affair before he left office--i can't remember if meese was one of them, but it would stand to reason that he was.

[WhiteTara]

20. yep...edwin and lyn hofsinger

both on the last day of his presidency, along with others, too numerous to name.

[flordehinojos]

21. i thought so!

the cucarachas are reigning again thanks to the bloody bush thugs and their leader ole malevolent poppy bush.

[JohnKleeb]

9. Ty Cobb

hahahha, yeah I know about Ed Meese, Reagan's Harry Daughtery.

[Kolesar]

10. Didn't Ed Meese buy a lot of porn as part of a Justice Dept investigation?

"It's for an investigation, really"

13. Isn't he a convicted Felon?

I guess that is a badge of honor among Republicans.

[flordehinojos]

15. was he pardoned by the old man bush?

but whether he was or not, have you notice how the bushes gravitate towards felons, convicted or not?

they just love them--they couldn't live without them--and they wouldn't have a political to stand on were it not for all these low life crime characters.

[0007]

22. I'm surprised that Ed doesn't have a cushy job like Negroponte.

[yellowcanine]

16. Is Ed Meese out of house arrest and off probation yet for all of the

crimes he committed? Oh, yeah he's a Republican so they don't count. My bad.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. Hey remember when Meese said the following:

You don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That's contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect.

And you younguns thought Asscroft sucked. LOL Meese was the AG who didn't understand basic legal terms. He gets my vote for the worst AG ever.

[TankLV]

18. Hey Criminal Ed: Remember Clinton & the DEMOCRATS' SURPLUSSES?

Not to mention the PEACE, HOPE & PROSPERITY with NOT A SINLTE SOLDIER KILLED IN COMBAT under Clinton's watch!

Other than that, I guess the country was "total failure" under the Democrats, then...

But if you can ignore all the KILLINGS, BLOOD, DEFICITS, WAR, LYING, CORRUPTION & CRIMES, the repukes look good by comparison!

[NVMojo]

19. wow, I forgot what a corrupt dude Meese was! Thanks for all the posts

with info. I can't believe the Repukes would take him around as a spokesperson at this time or great corruption! Idiots!
