Oil Can Harry has long had the backing of the major power brokers in the state of Nevada; the Mob, the unions, and the casinos. With those kind of connections, it would be hard to miss.

OUCH!!! lol....but I cant argue with this. We don't call him Slippery Harry fer nuthin'. I have seen him slide by with only a few hundred votes twice in my voting time here. Votes that were "suddenly found uncounted". Yea...right.
Please realize that NV is drawn up twixt North and South on voting lines. The North is ranching, farming and mining oriented, but the federals also have a huge military interest here as well, that Reid uses to his advantage come election time. Bases that were set for BRAC, and should have been, were kept so he could sew up the votes. Its carried him...twice.
His main support is in Vegas. Lot of CA influence. Here in cattle country, where I am, one can see Reid hung in effigy quite often, even outside of election time. His status is a bitter pill many Nevadans have been forced to swallow. The Bundy thing, well, trust me, the Feds would NOT have EVEN gone there had that been in N NV. Violence would have been the result, and Reid knows THAT for a fact. NV has some pretty bitter battle lines drawn up because of Reid. He stays South of Goldfield pretty much. Or maybe Beatty. North of there he's persona non grata.

That doesn't matter. As leader of the Senate, he can be held accountable by all Americans, because what he says/does affects all of us.

So it is Harry Reid's fault some idiot in Nevada refuses to pay the same fees other ranchers pay? That makes no sense.

Here is what the opponents of Harry Reid have in store. A government run by militias where the rule of law is who brings the most guns to a dispute. You gotta love the Tea Party and their small government message. By the way what are these guys if they arent domestic terrorists?

Do you think the government could have put a lean on the property instead?

This is just a taste of what it would be like if the citizens don't have guns. A few snipers over yonder and gunners all around. Don't worry, government could then take the property because said idiot would be dead.

Any politician who labels any American citizen standing for his rights under the Constitution and resisting the tyranny of the Federal Government is committing treason against all American citizens and is unfit for office.

Harry Reeds statement is so egregious that all American's should demand Harry Reed resign or be impeached and leave office in shame.
Perhaps Harry Reed does not even understand what the United States is. The United States is the people, it is not the Federal Government and it is definitely not the BLM who acts under color of law and has no accountability whatsoever to the American people.
The Federal Government promised the ranchers of Nevada free use of public lands hundreds of years ago to entice ranchers to settle Nevada and as it has done so many times in the past is now reneging on its promises, as it has done with almost every treaty it has ever made.
It is not the ranchers of Nevada who are the domestic terrorists, it is Harry Reed and his like.
Reid's a disgrace to the nation.

If Bundy broke the law, the feds know where he lives, they could just knock on the door, arrest Bundy and... all done. Sure would be a lot cheaper then flying in a hundred armed agents and paying cattle wrangler to round up and even destroy some of Bundy's cattle.

Reid reminds me of Obama. He knows the fix is in for his re-election so why worry about the people.
