I have a question and it's a serious question and not an attempt to attack someone which I know might be hard to believe in this forum but here goes..

So, if Nevada has the highest unemployment in the nation what is the reasoning behind putting him back in office? One would think that people would look at this as doing a poor job and vote in some fresh blood. Is he doing something that people outside of Nevada can't see? I came from PA and John Murtha country. Murtha brought HUGE amounts of pork into that district and everyone was addicted to it! It's was actually pretty funny, everyone would scream stop the pork then turn around and vote Murtha right back into office.. Does Reid bring in a lot of pork like Murtha did? I tried to research Reid's contributions to the state but I can't really find anything that stands out. I read articles that that casino owners pushed people to vote for him so he must bring something to the main industry of Vegas.. I really am curious so if you have some knowledge to share let me know.

You saw how many outsiders from DC and the unions showed up to make sure the election went their way. Probably the biggest election fraud in Nevada's history. Nevadans did not want this crook back in office. The polls weren't wrong, Reid and his henchmen stole the election just like a few brave people speculated they would. Think there will be any investigations?

How much federal money has been given to the state of Nevada because of Reid? Not for nothing maybe that power outage they had gave Reid the election?

One of the worst chunks of pork from the Stimulus Law was several million dollars to build a fast train from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. He got that kind of pork all the time and then for this election the unions spent more to help him than any other single person. Who is to say that the SEIU members who handled the voting machines didn't tamper a bit. They sure wanted him back.

Also, he spoke to the Hispanics telling them that some of those who are not legal voters would be stopped if he didn't win. I am sure of only the money for the railroad and how much the unions spent for him.

Maybe people just understood that electing a complete moron wasn't the way out of the mess, so Reid was reelected.
