From the Las Vegas Sun: At UNLV it sometimes seems as if November’s race for the state’s 3rd Congressional District never ended. Within weeks of Republican Joe Heck’s narrow victory over Democratic incumbent Rep. Dina Titus, UNLV College Republicans launched a vicious campaign against Titus, who returned to teaching at the university. The group, which is heavily staffed by former Heck employees, sends out emails blasting Titus to a list of 500 followers. (One recent headline: “UNLV pays Dina Titus to stay relevant until she runs again.”) They have set up an anti-Titus website, womanwithoutintegrity.com. And they have criticized her course load and campus radio show. The attacks began in earnest in January, when Mark Ciavola, a former employee of Heck’s and the Republican National Committee, was elected head of the College Republicans. Ciavola, 36, is a seasoned political activist who acknowledges he’s “not a 19-year-old trying to juggle schoolwork and this with no political experience.” Indeed, it’s the group’s persistent pursuit of Titus and professional prowess that has made the attacks stand out. Like many in Nevada political circles, the College Republicans expect Titus to run in 2012. And Ciavola knows a campaign can never start too early. But he insists his group isn’t focusing exclusively on Titus. “Dina Titus isn’t the problem, she’s a symptom of the problem, which is how UNLV spends money,” he said, describing administrators as hypocritical for paying Titus almost $108,000 to teach one class while crying poverty and threatening to cut classes and raise tuition.
There is a very simple reason why the UNLV College Republicans and myself are going after Titus. she is extremely unethical and she should not be allowed anywhere near a classroom.
Even the liberal Las Vegas Sun had to go after Titus because of her lies during the Campaign against Joe Heck.
If Titus ran a fair campaign and did her share of work at UNLV, I doubt I would have much to say about her. But she's has acted unethically since she was elected to the House of Representatives and especially during her failed re-election bid.
The voters saw her being unethical and they voted her out of office.
But UNLV was there to scoop her up and give her a job, even though they said she was not even qualified for the course she is teaching.
So, good luck to the College Republicans in going after Titus. She deserves it.
And I hope the aliens who took over the Las Vegas Sun keep on doing what they are doing. Two days in a row with positive articles about conservatives. There must be a lot of screeching and gnashing of teeth over at the desks of Damon, Goldberg, Ralston and Greenspun.
