Harry Reid Gets Zapped From The Grave
Thursday, July 15, 2010 at 12:56AM This from the Las Vegas Review-Journal via Lisa:
Election 2010 has just heard from a member of the Silent Majority.
You know, from a deceased person.
Chances are good you never met Charlotte McCourt during her 84 years, but I’m willing to bet you’ll be hearing about her in the coming days now that her obituary has taken Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to task. It’s the kind of small story that has the potential to ricochet like a bullet through the campaign showdown between incumbent Reid and Republican challenger Sharron Angle.
Not because McCourt, who died July 8 after a long illness, was a political player or business powerbroker, but precisely because she was neither of those things. She was a homemaker, proud mother and grand mother and wife of 67 years to Patrick McCourt.
And she was at one time a loyal supporter of Harry Reid.
Her obituary, printed in Tuesday’s Review-Journal, reads in part, “We believe that Mom would say she was mortified to have taken a large role in the election of Harry Reid to U.S. Congress. Let the record show Charlotte was displeased with his work. Please, in lieu of flowers, vote for another more worthy candidate.”
Ouch.
McCourt was born Dec. 25 in Wellington, Utah and was a 40-year Nevada resident. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Perhaps by coincidence, Reid’s re-election hangs in no small part on his ability to encourage conservative and religious Democrats to support him. He is also a member of the LDS faith.

And while messages are coming from graves, this came from George Washington's tomb.
I froze my ass off at Valley Forge and you idiots elect Barack Obama to destroy what I fought for. Excuse me while I turn over.
This is great, and may actually help compensate for the votes likely to be cast for Reid by others who have passed on (as well as from some living felons).
Bruce i was about to say something like, Dirty Harry and his liberals have gotten enough votes
from the grave and only us Conservatives deserve a few taken away from the grave also..
