Vegas constantly amazes. The Las Vegas Sun article today reporting Harry Reid's request to President Obama that Las Vegas and Reno be removed from any sort of "No go list" is trashed by constituents of Nevada.
If you had the time to read the comments on any of the articles written about Senator Harry Reid you would think him some kind of worthless derelict like John Ensign and Gov. Gibbons.
Ironically he is one of the most powerful men in government for the citizens of Nevada and one would think a feeling of pride might show, considering little Nevada(translation total population per square mile-is 18.2 people over a land mass of 2000 square miles with a population of about 2 million(half of that in Clark County) hasn't been considered a heavy hitter until Sen Reid put it on the map.
The habit of trashing instead of supporting or improving isn't anything new for the libertarian state. Sometimes it appears the mob did it's job well-leave the state alone to roll the high rollers-
dance topless in the clubs and provide a little sex for sale , continue the "mob" like drive by shootings, creating causalities like the little eight year old boy, recently shot in a drive by shooting-just leave Nevada alone-(according to comments)
As one commenter wrote in a previous article about budget cuts,
"We don't need no stinkin schools" "Why should we pay for other peoples spawns? Cut the school budget and make them take all their classes on line-it will save a lot of money"
Many fine people live in the Las Vegas area, I wonder why they don't voice their opinions?
Maybe I am wrong. Maybe most people feel the way many commenters do.
Reading those comments trashing Senator Reid amaze me.
Do the Las Vegas Sun readers have some inside scoop to voting for a higher quality candidate?
If so, they sure haven't picked a winner in the last Gov. election-nor with Ensign.
Kind of makes me wonder if the vote is honest.
Who in their right mind voted for Gibbons and Ensign?
The love-hate relationship really hurts the tourism industry.
No one wants to vacation in a town which considers the tourists "suckers and rubes".
The virulent comments don't exactly sell plane tickets and rooms.
