Sharron Angle’s new campaign ad combines two old and one new reason–the failed stimulus, special benefits for illegal aliens, and now, taxpayer dollars paying for Viagra for convicted sex offenders–to say Harry Reid is out of touch:

The first two issues have made previous appearances in Angle ads.

As for the third, the Democrats and Harry Reid viewed the amendment in question–barring rapists and child molesters from receiving Viagra through Obamacare–as a political ploy to hold up or stop the legislation.

The GOP strategy was to offer amendments on which Democrats would be hard-pressed to cast a “no” vote. If the Senate made any amendments to the legislation, the bill would have had to go back to the House–something Reid and the Democrats wished to avoid, and the basis on which they voted “no” to this and other Coburn amendments.

At the time, Reid spokesman Jim Manley said, “This is just another attempt at hype by Sen. Coburn as he goes about trying to make a mockery of the legislative process.”

The prospect of free Viagra for sex offenders is only half true, said Politifact earlier this summer. Insurance plans offered through Obamacare exchanges are not barred from offering such a benefit, but anyone who joins such a plan will have to qualify for subsidies based on income–and the benefit will not be available until 2014.

In any case, the Angle campaign is now making the most of Reid’s “no” vote against the amendment, which some have said was part of the intent of Coburn and other Republicans when they introduced it.

“Reid’s vote occurred when he was jamming ObamaCare through the Senate,” said Jerry Stacy, press secretary for Sharron Angle.

“Harry Reid was so intent on passing ObamaCare that he was even willing to give Viagra to child molesters to do it. At a time when Nevadans are struggling, Reid voted to give our tax dollars to the worst elements of society for Viagra. This is truly a disgusting act. Reid has demonstrated once again that he is unfit to be a Senator,” added Stacy.
