    Does anyone have an idea why Buddy Roemer has been kept out of the GOP debates? That is, aside from the GOP debate rules that seem to change from one debate to the next.

    He's got as much chance at nomination as Santorum does.

  • Can you provide a link so I can do some reading on the below statement you wrote?

    You know, I couldn't understand how Harry Reid could have gotten re-elected with Nevada as bad off as THEY are, until I talked to a guy just 3 days ago who worked down there. Apparently, you can be an illegal in Nevada, and STILL get a Union Card & a driver's license, and as long as you have 2 pieces of ID, you can VOTE down there. You're given time off from work and are BUSSED to the polls.........

  • And this link shows that it's not that easy for a non-citizen to get a drivers license.

    As far as the union card thing, I don't know, but it isn't on the list of acceptable documents. I do know ole Harry didn't have an easy time last election, but there is a strong union presence in Nevada.

    But aren't those examples Nevada state issues?

    If Harry Reid is given the boot, is there any assurance those state issues would change?

    Regardless of whether the Senate Majority Leader is D or R, there'll be policies in their home states that they have no control over.

    As far as China owning us, I've heard conflicting sides. But to quote a Wikipedia article "May 2011 the largest single holder of U.S. government debt was China, with 36 percent of all foreign-held U.S. Treasury securities (16% of total US public debt)" That quote is in line with other reports I've heard.

  • I guess most people forgot the voting computer malfunction complaints in NV during the election. The fact of the matter is an illegal alien can obtain a false ssn, obtain a drivers license and with those two things, register to vote.

    While it is only a matter of time before they are found out, you can count on them coming back in with another type of ID. I have seen it happen at the company where I work.

    One employee brought in 3 different SSN after being challenged on the validity of the first one. It does happen and quite often.

    Wikipedia is only as good as the people who contribute the information to it.

    Voter Fraud is alive and well and can benefit either side at any given time.

  • STOP IT......WHO HAS MONEY TO GAMBLE?????? THAT WHOLE STATE IS PREDICATED ON GAMBLING....DID YOU KNOW AT ONE TIME THERE WERE JUST ENOUGH PEOPLE IN VEGAS TO KEEP THE CASINO'S RUNNING 24 SEVEN AND THAT WAS ABOUT IT?Reid has nothing to do with the economy.The casino'S ARE NOW PUBLICLY TRADED STOCK COMPANY'S so we are satisfying the stockholders I:E make money.If you dont have tourists you dont make money, no money no job.no job no house payment.what has Reid to do with that?Not liking him is one thing making charges that he has nothing to do with is another

    VOTER FRAUD HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT 1% of the total cast in every election since we have been tracking it.That includes state and federal.doesnt make any difference who's on the ballot.Thankyou KH GAL for stating it goes both ways.ID'S are forged every day when I was in the bar business it drove us crazy,and the state held us responsible like we were the experts on forgery....DUH.There are visually false ID'S EVERYWHERE....THAT IS WHY THE MILITARY IMBEDED THERES.we SHOULD REMEBER COMPUTERS ARE NOT INFALLIBLE.

  • Fraud happens in all states, You cannot say that Nevada is the only state that has fraud

    Here's what happened to Nevada and it wasn't because of their Senator.

    http://www.thenation.com/article/154482/nevada-goes-bust

    I guess the people there don't hold him accountable. If they did then everyone in every state should hold their Senators Accountable for what happened with the housing bubble and the banks, including Idaho

    Don't you remember when everyone was flocking to Las Vegas? Construction was booming because of all the people moving there. Now because of the bubble bursting people could no longer afford their homes so there were many many foreclosures and people who worked in casino's lost jobs because of the economy
