Posted on: Add attack dog, energy maven to Reid’s titles

The V.P. "may" have conspired with the oil industry - good for him - at least someone is trying to do something to get us out of the mess the rest of you government morons got us into to start with by not allowing us to drill 10 years ago when we would have benefit of it now. All the while Mr. Harry Reid was "conspiring" with the Wilderness Radicals that make their money trying to tie up even more of our prized open land to block access. Folks, this is many hundreds of thousands of acres that will be locked up so that you will never be able to see it again. Land in Lyon, Mineral and Esmeralda Counties that has historicaly been used as recreational areas and such that we would no longer have access to. Unfortunately White Pine and Lincoln counties didn't see the writing on the wall and have learned a harsh lesson. Then he has the gall to hold disposable land hostage unless these counties go along with this hairbrained idea of doing a county wide lands bill and setting aside these many hundreds of thousands of acres as wilderness. The counties said no to his hairbrained idea. For someone that was elected to represent Nevada, that is a mighty poor showing Harry. We will not forget in 2010. Not everyone in Nevada is against the Yucca Mountain project that could greatly benefit some of the counties that are affected units. Your true colors are showing through, it's green, the almighty dollar.
