I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the inherent sexism and homophobia in a comment such as "man up". It's implying that Democrats are "less than" "real men", or Republicans. "Man up" is just another way of saying "stop being such a sissy!"

I agree with UHave2laff wholeheartedly. No matter what the question was, Angle cited "Obamacare" as her answer. She never once stated what she would do if she were elected, relying only on her talking points. Mitch Fox tried to get her on track several times, in order to get a real answer from her, but she was unable or unwilling to address the lies and insinuations that have been the basis of her ads.

When I first heard this story on television, I thought I had heard that he fell off a WHORE! That would have been more in keeping with Gibbon's personality.

Maybe Cindy Hampton should have thought about repercussions before she spread her legs for Johnny Boy. Are we supposed to feel sorry for the Hamptons? No way!

Whether you are "for" or "against" gay marriage is really irrevelant, as we have the 14th Amendment which provides equal protection under the law. The citizenry cannot vote certain rights away from a particular group because they don't like them or what they stand for. That's what happened with the anti-miscegination laws. Even up until 1968, 72% of the population was against blacks and whites being allowed to marry legally.

Voting out the rights for gays and lesbians would open a whole new can of worms. Would the right to marry then be denied between blacks and whites, christians and non-christians, older and younger? There would be no end to the groups that could be denied not only marriage rights, but other rights as well, just because someone doesn't like them.

People: the 14th Amendment trumps EVERYTHING. Please read it.

Neither Harry Reid now Immigrants are to blame for the.economy! The Bush Administration, Wall Steet, National Banks and the greed of Corporate America put us in the HOLE and have rubbed salt in our wounds by taking our Tax Money to clean up their MESS! LasVegas is a
Victim of this greed and it will take years to regain our place in the Great Cities and Economies of America!

Who is filling in the government required paperwork for Nevada, Clark County, Las Vegas and CCSD? We seem to have people doing these chores that are either uneducated in Grant Writing or our state and Municipal Governments don't bother going after the money that our local news continues to report we are missing out on. If Nevada is "A Day Late And A Dollar Short" for Food Stamp Funding, Homeless Support, Race To The Top Funds, Renewable Energy Credits, Government Foreclosure Money and Southern Nevada consistently loses out to the North in Per Capita State Funding, then heads need to roll and competent Civil Servants need to replace the incompetent.

The fathers, sons and grandfathers should first be concerned about the Boy Scouts dissing of Agnostics, Athiests and Gays! What a bunch of hypocrits who write about Obama dissing the scouts when it is that organization that gets to use Tax-Payer supported Public Schools, Public Parks and Trails; etc. to spread its own brand of prejudice. I am so completely disgusted with the bigoted, anti Latino, anti Black, anti Gay and anti Compassion rhetoric that flows from the mouths of the Tea Party and Republicans. You self righteous, self serving fools diserve to have the laws reversed upon you so you could feel sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia and every other form of bigotry that you place around the necks of anyone a little different from you. BTW- Joy Behar is a friend to Obama like Hannity, Limbaugh and O'Reilly are friends to BIGOTRY!

GIVE IT A BREAK ALREADY! There has been absolutely too much time devoted to the new team chosen by a basketball player. There are wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the worst oil spill in the history of the world, homelessness, foreclosures, weird weather, weekly earthquakes, towns closing up, people losing jobs. But what the media is reporting - ad nauseum - is that LeBron James is going to play for the Miami Heat. Where are our priorities?
