President Obama took down bin ladden and trump in the same week,amazing. Now you want to nominate the only guy who spent billions building a codo complex on the strip with no casino and he can't even sell the condos so he's renting them out,good go ahead and nominate your man.Trump has how many kids by how many wives? trump is your man to straighten out the economy,how many times has he filed for bankruptcy? Trump or palin either one will assure Obama a victory in 2012 so go ahead and nominate either one or both.

School unions in Clark county have fought against paying school taxes based on the value of their homes like the rest of the country for decades,their union leaders want everyone else to help pay their salaries and benefits except them.They only work part time 184 days per year @ 7 hours per day. There is no mention of the personnel days off they had put in there contracts, in my school district they have 5 paid personnel days off per year.We not only have to pay them when they are off we have to pay another employee to take their place. School employees took over the school system a long time ago and now that their incomes and perks are being exposed they are blaming everybody but themselves for this unsustainable financial mess they created.If the rest of us had the days off you clowns get with the salaries and retirement benefits you have we would not complain we would keep our mouths shut and be grateful for all that the hardworking people in this country do to pay your overpaid/ungrateful butts.So here is my solution to your problem of feeling that you are not paid enough for what you do,go get a real 8 hours per day 5 days per week job with 2 weeks vacation.There are plenty of unemployed folks who would be more then happy to take your place and they would be grateful to be as compensated as your whining butts are.So after you read this sit down at the computer and compose your resignation letter and print out a copy of your resume.While most of us work 8 hours per day 5 days per week and 50 weeks per year for a total of 2000 hours you clowns work 7 hrs per day 184 days per year for a total of 1288 hours per year minus your personnel days and those half school days for which you are paid for the entire day.Good luck in the real world.

The teachers should march on the capital and demand that everyone start paying school taxes like the rest of the country then there would be plenty of money for school funding. There problem solved. What was so hard about coming up with that idea to fund your schools. The teachers union should start lining up buses immediately to take their fellow educators to the capital with this new idea for school funding. The best part is this new tax could be put in motion before the new school year starts in September.

these clowns r racist their agenda has nothing to do with health care these same clowns followed bush junior into a country that had nothing to do with bin laden or 9/11 yet they have been going against their president,yes folks like it or not he is your president and unlike bush junior he was not put there by trhe supreme court but by a majority of americans,since he took the oath of office.just ask each of them which of their presidents ideas or agendas they have supported since he took office.i'll answer the question since they won't even bother the answer is none.they hate him so much like lkimbaugh that they hope the country fails because they are not fit to represent any community based on their biased beliefs.the clowns need to realize 1 thing and that is 3+4= 7 more years of president barack obama,deal with it.

12 months vs 9 months,yea put them back to 9 months because too much school time will hurt them.look american children are being passed by every other countries school system because education is year round.face it folks your kids are dumb,just ask them 3 or 4 general questions tonight about the world and get ready for some really dumb answers.most don't know the 50 states,most think africa is a country,most can't make change for a twenty dollar bill even when the register tells them the amount,and 99 out of 100 don't know the 3 branches of our government,yet this woman wants her dummies to go to school less because her's are so smart. people lets face it we all love our kids but education in this country is now a business not the learning institution it once was it is purely a business where the teachers and their unions have all of the say,stand up for your children and give them the best to compete with the best.this downward trend in educating our children did not happen overnight it has taken years to get this bad and if your children have to stay in school and learn well remember they have to support themselves someday so why not give them a great education to start with and give them a summer break like spring break and Christmas break.i would have expected the kids to gripe a little but for the mom to be complaining proves she is a knucklehead.someone please buy this lawsuit nut a tivo so her kids can see all of the tv they missed while they were in school.lets give our kids a chance at a great life,quit saying average is good enough.

what a joke vegas construction is,so much for hiring so called union workers because of the so called quality of the work.these union workers must be from the bottom of the barrel to have installed 15 floors incorrectly.yet they are not being held accountable.what a joke,these union workers have no self pride or they would admit they are not qualified to carry a union card.can't blame this one on non union workers. so much for their business agents to,everyone involved should give back what they were paid since they did not do their job,lowlifes.

how many made more then $100,000 last year,yea poor firefighters. If they have a problem w/their jobs and the wages paid then shut up and go get a real job.Just make the decision and close a few stations and fire some of them,unemployment might change their minds.these public,yes taxpayer paid public employees run around calling themselves heros and demand overtime,yes demand overtime based on seniority have really given us all a clearer picture of how nice their compensation package really is and its too much,let them pay for their health insurance.and cut back on paid days off and cell phone misuse.they are not heros they are just lucky people who knew the right people to get the job and its lush benefits.the only hero i ever knew jumped on a grenade and saved the rest of us,he was a hero not these self proclaimed heros.real heros don't call themselves heros,most are no longer w/us.save millions,cut the jobs now,they have no say or position,end this power they think they have now.
