I doubt if Ensign is smart enough to resign and pay restitution to the Hamptons - so, he needs to be fully investigated and, if/when he's found guilty under the law, prosecuted to the full extent of the law!

We have a sitting U. S. Senator that obviously thinks he's above the law - Ensign broke employment law, sexually harassed and employee, then, even after the affair was exposed continued to pursue the victim - Ensign is a sexual predator IMHO!

Oh, yeah, and he broke other laws TOO! So, does the rule of law NOT apply to the rich boys - or does the rule of law apply to all of us?

How totally tragic! As the saying goes "When seconds count, remember the police are only minutes away" - and our police can't even protect themselves - Let alone the law-abiding citizens!

So, how long are we going to continue to buy all of the excuses about budget limitations and every other well practiced and routinely repeated excuse we hear in the media?

I say now is the time to, finally, GET REAL about supporting the rule of law and the officers who risk their lives to protect all of us! I don't care how much more tax I have to pay - I'm tired of living in fear in America!

Everyone I know is tired of worrying if their home will be next!

Get the recruits, train and equip them well, and go after EVERY DAMN GANG IN THE VEGAS VALLEY!

I had hoped that Barbara Buckley would have run for Governor - she was my first choice as the best qualified candidate. But, Rory was clearly my second choice as the next best qualified candidate to lead us in a new direction into a prosperous future!

Let's be fair folks - Rory is NOT Harry, and it's just not right to judge a son based on their other family members!

Rory is a good man with a good heart, and has a wonderful family centered value system of sound ethics - and he's his own man!

So, all you "Harry Haters" out there need to answer the question - "Who is the best qualified candidate to be the next Governor of Nevada?"

My answer: RORY!

Las Vegas, NevaDUH comes in second to last! Gee, what are those odds?

Harry Reid, like those of us that believe anyone (even a lying, cheating, thieving, radical, right-wing, neo-con Republican RAT) like Ensign should get a fair hearing and should be considered innocent until PROVEN guilty!

I want the facts, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth - then, I'll come to a fair conclusion!

As for Ensign? Well, all I have to say for now is 2012 is a ways off and the clock goes "tick-tock" "Tick-Tock" "TICK-TOCK!"

Gee, askng poliiticians to be honest, and write a law that requires them to be honest about the money they raise - in vegas? What a novel idea! I wonder what the odds are of this actually happening in 2011 - or, ever? You know, compared to the global warming factor and hell freezing over?

There are thousands of Vets that Support Dina and "Team Titus" - if Heck wants to do something to really impress the Vets, he can volunteer for an endless tour of duty going back forth from Iraq to Afghanistan doing Doctor duty with our wounded warriors!

I love the use of modern technology and doing the Telephone Town Halls - this is 2009, and it's a lot more convenient to call in then to waste time, gas and money traveling to some place and having to hassle with parking and any crazy people that might show up - KUDOS HARRY!

There are THREE BIG REASONS Harry Reid will win re-election, and rightfully so:

1.) Harry Reid is THE Senate Majority Leader of the United States Senate the most prestigious legislative branch in the history of democracy! Nevadans need to understand just how powerful this position is and how Harry has put our little state on the national political map!

2.) Harry Reid is THE Senior Senator from Nevada! Has anyone noticed what the Junior Senator from Nevada has done for us? Uh, NOTHING!

3.) Harry Reig is THE most experienced and THE most qualified for this position!

Love Harry (or hate him) - the logic is sound!

Surprise inspections DO work when the Inspection Team's surprise arrival is not compromised and these inspections are done frequently! I know, I used to go into Military Units and conduct such surprise inspections - we'd catch a lot of people NOT doing their jobs correctly, and had the authority to objectively and fairly document what we found so quick corrective action could be taken - and it worked! It was also a way for the Chain-Of-Command to keep track of who they could really trust to just do the right thing, and stay up on changing/growing logistical and training and operational needs as well!

When sceduled inspections are done, you get only a cursory view of what's happening - the best sort of inspection is done by a fully competent team that just shows up unsceduled (and with the full authority to take corrective action on the spot)!
