Amazing. Nevada wants to be relevant in national politics by being one of the first states in the nation to hold their presidential nominating contests, yet the state says it cannot afford to pay for a primary and the Republicans say they cannot afford to pay for a well run caucus. How embarrassing can it get? Maybe Nevada should move to the back of the line where we belong.

Adelson just became the new poster boy for the 28th Amendment.

Gogo,

Yes, it would be the same. But the subject of the letter was Grover Norquist.

Carolyn,
I agree with you, but there is no need to investigate what kind of quid pro quo they might have received for taking Grover Norquist's anti-constitutional pledge. Everyone already knows that the quid pro quo is money - lots of it. Everyone who signed Grover's pledge signed because they are scared to death of being cut off from Grover's vast amount of PAC money for their re-election. Pure and simple, it is the fear of not getting re-elected that makes them take the pledge. The only way we will be able to break Grover's hold on OUR congressmen is to not re-elect ANY congressman that has signed Grover's pledge. We must take the pledge to break the pledge.

Notacon, you got it! For the rest of you, except for Purgatory, lighten up. I was just trying to show you how stupid the Republicans "jobs" argument sounds.

Mr. Moldenhauer, thank you for explaining how conservatives analyze political issues. I now have a much better understanding of the thought process used by Rush Limbaugh, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Sarah Palin.

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between Gorman and Findley Prep, from an athletic standpoint? Both recruit and play nationally, but Gorman is allowed to compete for league and state titles, but Findley does not. Is this a choice Findley has made or is there a reason Findley is not eligible to compete for these titles? Just curious.

Unbelievable! After all the bitching about cutting spending, here is a $120 billion sitting right under Congress' nose. You really have to question how many Congressmen were aware of this but kept quite because they are in big pharma's pocket.

The sad thing about this whole affair is that we have seen the last significant piece of legislation that will ever come out of Congress. Does anyone really think that the Democrats will ever compromise again? Unless one party controls both Houses and the presidency, we will be lucky to even confirm a national dog catcher again.

Great cheap shots, Pamela and Future. Here's another one.
What was Congress doing last week when Rome was burning and the economy was melting down? Can you say "five week vacation"?
