Weasel in and screw the contractor's--NICE P.N.G--What a sweetheart deal you made to procure this beatiful property--NOT!!! As someone who lost 13 months of steady employment because Bank of America(Greed Inc.) decided to take advantage of a legally suspicious loop hole in it's contract with the developer's I'm totally against this one developer/investor deal. FontaineBleau's prowess will put the Rio, the Hilton, the Sahara and Circus Circus to shame and the investment co's that own interests in those properties is what stalled this magnificent project. Nevermind the 4,500 tradesman that did nothing but put in an honest's days work and pump cash into the local economy--I guess our input into the community wasn't enough--try and sell that to the local retailer's!!
To Stevem: Get a clue before you embarass yourself again by posting please! It's more than obvious why Vegas is hit hard, but let me explain it to you anyway. There's no middle class money out there after the 25 years of horrific conservative economic policies came to fruition under Bush. There's no diversity of industry here and for some reason you Nevadan's elected this Gibbon's clown into office who knows nothing about getting an economy off the ground despite the alternative energy possibilities that sit right under his nose. Now is not the time to have a "Party guy" at the helm who'd rather see this state suffer than allow for a progressive agenda take hold.
Democrats caused this problem? Took over Congress 3 years ago? Wow, are you misinformed, no maybe not misinformed--I'm thinking just plain ignorant! I'm thinking this all started almost ten years ago when an Idiot from Texas stole his second term as President, gave the tax breaks to the very rich, started two wars and had his counterparts in Congress passed trade legislation that made exporting our manufacturing base to third world countries legal. You wanna cry and wine about policy? Try calling Gov. Gibbons office and telling him to release the Stimulus monies so some of these projects in NV that are waiting for them can get going...
Wow, nothing like a bunch of good little right-winger's being there like jonny on the spot's to pile on an issue with their talking-point falsehoods cause the facts don't matter--they just need to do what their told. So the union's happen to back Democratic candidates and expect them to back legislation that helps the common man--it's called serving your better interest my friends. On the other side, you have corporate thugs, who bankroll lobbyist groups, that bus in folks from other districts to town hall meetings for the explicit purpose of disrupting the local politician's efforts to communicate what the Democratic plan is to the people. Labor and the Union's are the only political block that stand up for the common man and his ability to make a living wage. Take a look at the numerous pieces of legislation that the GOP has tried to pass that explicitly tries to eliminate the ability of Union's to donate monies toward political campaign's--it's ridiculous!! The downfall of this country began when Ronald Reagan used his power of office to bust the Air Traffic Controller's union. Since then, America's percentage of unionized worker's has went from 28% down to 7% nationally. And yes, we would all be better off if the wishes of this 7% were to come true!!
I don't care who needs to bendover and take it--this project needs to be completed and up and running for the good of all! You just don't quit loaning money to a job that's 75% complete, will earn it's investment over time and will stimulate the local economy when it's most in need.
Good for you Nevadan's! You may have an assclown at the helm, but he's not allowed to steer the ship into the iceberg thanks to your votes in 08' that put the right people in right places to put the cabash on da b.s.!!
American's did a pretty good job of voting out Republican clowns like this guy in the last election, but the ones that are left have been making so many headlines in the negative that it's more than obvious that there's still some work to be done! Why this moron thinks he can maintain credibility with the people is beyond ridiculous and those of you who think he serves your better interest's in the Senate despite his shortcomings really need to get a clue.
Jealous Nevadans,
Please stop your whining over the firefighter's. You make me sick!! If you would have never conceded in making this a right to work state where Jose makes more cash and stays employed despite his illegal immigrant status maybe you'd also have a job that pays two nickels and you wouldn't be crying about a group of professional's who joined a union for protection against repuklican thuggery that will come out and save your sorry butts when your in need!!
I'm thinking that the raping the American people have taken over the past 25 years of Conservative economic policies that culminated with the worst presidency ever witnessed, finally lit the light bulb over some of their heads. The only thing that's trickled down to the common man is having to eat an economy that is heading back toward the Middle Ages where only two classes prevailed. Watching the Republican party crumble under it's own hypocrisy is surely a privilege to witness.

Sorry Governor List, but Harry Reid isn't going anywhere. The Fat Cat insurance co's, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Pharmacuetical lobby can't buy their way out of this deal--not this time. Maybe if those folks would have given a damn about the American people in some way, shape or form over the past 30 years, they wouldn't be on the receiving end of legislation that will surely reform their greedy, solely profit motivated ways. To think that your belittling, rhetorical, Talking-point infested statement will sway the voter's into the Republican pipe dream of beating out Harry Reid in the next election is ridiculous!!
