Opponent uses X-Files footage to make Harry Reid an ex-senator

November 23, 2009, 1:30 am · 1 comment

Danny Tarkanian, a Republican who wants to unseat Harry Reid in Nevada, used old X-Files footage to make fun of Harry Reid and “the missing congressional districts.”

When an opponent is willing to make fun of you like this it’s a pretty good indication that your campaign is in big trouble.

  - KimmyQueen: I disagree somewhat. Most of the people that voted for him fell for the hope and change crap. They believed it meant something OTHER than what it really meant and the MSM was a reason a lot of people were ignorant of him and his ways and his pals before they voted for him. People...
