I Might Have Told You So

Last week, I assumed that the Tea Party of Nevada was not a creation of small government conservatives but of Harry Reid and his Democrat dirty tricksters.  Well, it’s beginning to look a lot like fraud.  From the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

Ashjian is expected to file March 1 to run against U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican challenger in the November general election. But Ashjian has remained quiet about his campaign, giving cryptic e-mail interviews and hardly returning phone calls.

Barry Levinson, a lawyer, registered Democrat and secretary of the Tea Party of Nevada, said he "represents the candidate" and wants to help his longtime friend get elected

New political parties on the right would only increase the Democrat majority in both houses of Congress. The idea of forming a Tea Party Party appeals to egomaniacs and leftists bent on using the movement to destroy the movement.

If this candidacy is a Democrat front, Harry Reid may become the next Democrat Senator to decide to spend more time with family.
