Rory Reid: I'm Not My Dad
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, July 26, 2010, 8:06 PM
See Rory Run…
The Republican Governor’s Association released this with the actual voice of Rory Reid from the many times he’s distanced himself from his own father Senate Majority Leader Harry “This War Is Lost” Reid.
This is a GREAT ad:
In this exclusive video obtained by the RGA, it is clear that Rory Reid apparently does not react well to learning that his last name actually appears in his latest TV ad.
Rory Reid continues to distance himself from dad.
The LA Times reported, via HotAir:
Rory Reid would like to be Nevada’s next governor, but there’s a problem. Not a lack of money: He’s got plenty of that. Not a shortage of ideas: He’s got plenty of those.
It’s that last name, Reid.
As in Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic leader, Rory’s dad and one of the most unpopular politicians in America, not to mention his home state of Nevada. Both are on the ballot in November: Harry, 70, battling for a fifth term, Rory, 47, making his first try for state office.
Good luck finding them in the same room.
They showed up hours apart at last month’s state Democratic convention, speaking at opposite ends of the program. When President Obama visited Las Vegas two weeks later for a Harry Reid fundraiser, the son was hundreds of miles away, seeking volunteers and courting donors in northern Nevada.
“He’s my father,” Rory said of Harry. “Not my political mentor.”

Big mistake to have 2 Reids running this year. Nevada has a 14.5% unemployment rate and now we are forced to see a twofer. If there’s justice for what Reid has done with this Healthcare Bill — they will both lose. 85% of Nevadans have already have Healthcare — wonder how many will have it after this God awful Healthcare Bill is instituted.
Palinfan commented:
I don’t care who the hell he is, the Reids have to be sent packing – send money to Angle now. Even $5 will do.

Harry and Rory. Stupid voters will elect them.
Tjexcite commented:
Reid the Junior should switch campaigns with the old man, Rory for Senate and Harry for Gov. Apparently the elder is having no troubles for senator, other than he can’t poll over 50% And the last name is not as toxic.

Sorry, Rory. If your dad is not your mentor, then I’m Patrick Kennedy.

John commented:
Aww, quit picking on Rory. Most of Nevada is probably ashamed to be associated with Harry Reid.

Sins of the father…
AuntieMadder commented:
Give it up, Rory. Find another career. Your dad ruined any chance you may have had.

When an adult child attempts to minimize the connection to a parent out of shame, either the child is shallow or the parent truly shameful . . . sometimes both, as seems to be the case here. There’s no question Nevada and the Republic can do far better than this tawdry pair.
Bill Fabrizio commented:
No Rory, you’re not your dad. God only assigned one a**hole per person!
Mrs. X commented:
Something about the name Rory does not sound manly at all…hmm.
You’d think he’d be smart enough to wait a couple of years after his disaster of a father is out of the public arena. But no.
Moron.
I guess this is his way of throwing his father under the bus?!

You may not be your dad, but your close enough and that’s all it takes. Dirty Harry is a pox on the already dying Democratic Party, and your just a little boil on it’s butt.
