Las Vegas Sun: Dina Titus Too Conservative?

Dina Titus, the unethical and thief politician, seems to have a problem among Democrats and the Las Vegas Sun: She is too conservative!
I can use many adjectives to describe Titus: fake, liberal, unethical, fake accent, thief, unethical, incompetent, liar, unethical, married to a thief, the epitome of what is wrong with public employees, greedy, part of the 1%, and unethical.
From the Las Vegas Sun: She’s been labeled Dina TaxUs and subjected to expensive ad campaigns likening her to U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi. But as former U.S. Rep. Dina Titus enters what could be a brutal Democratic primary fight, she will encounter an attack she’s never faced before: She’s too conservative.
In a sign of what’s to come as Titus goes up against state Sen. Ruben Kihuen for Nevada’s most liberal congressional district, party insiders are pointing to Titus’ record during her two years in Congress to argue she strayed from her Democratic roots.

During her time representing the 3rd Congressional District — a swing district she narrowly lost to Republican Joe Heck last year — Titus was a reluctant vote on the health care reform bill, voiced support for offshore oil drilling and maintained a middle-of-the-pack rating on liberal legislation according to the National Journal.
Her Democratic critics also didn’t like that she voted against President Barack Obama’s small banks lending bill in 2010 and that she voted to extend the Bush tax cuts — although she did so at the behest of Obama.
“These are all fine votes to have if you’re running in a moderate-to-conservative district,” said one Democratic insider who voiced frustration that Titus decided against a rematch with Heck next year. “But now she’s asking to return to the job and her votes are not representative of the community she’s trying to represent.”
The charge that Titus is conservative is laughable in many Democratic circles. But the fact her critics would lob it as an attack — the same week she announces she’s running in the 1st Congressional District — is an indication of just how brutal the race against Kihuen will be.

I am not sure who the Sun will like in this race. Jon Ralston tore Titus a new butt hole in the last election and nailed her on her unethical commercials. In addition, Titus's opponent is a Hispanic man and the only thing the Sun would like even better would be a Hispanic female who is Jewish.
But we will have some interesting primaries on the Democratic side of the aisle and it will be fun to watch the Democratic cannibalism that is sure to happen.
