Uh, Wayne, there's more to NV than LV. Know what I'm sayin'. Most of the rest of us feel steamrolled too by the betrayal we've just seen now that the '15 session of the NV legislature is over. There were a few shining stars who were targeted and the gopE did their best to shut them down and for the most part succeeded. Looks like tick and his buddies will be lining up to retake control in '16. Doesn't seem to make any difference. Didn't we vote down the tax issue in '14 that has now been passed and signed? Are we becoming Cali-lite?

Nevada is a FAKE “State”, it is an area that NEVER should have been a State.

Just curious, how did you arrive at this logic?

As a Minnesotan, I’ve been looking at what state I might want to retire in and get away from the socialism we have in our state. Nevada would be a perfect fit cause I have relatives there and I lived in Reno for four years when I was younger. After seeing this, I guess I’ll have to look elsewhere.

Power makes republicans act like libtards. They become mindless conformists who sanction the status quo in order to stay in power.

Check out Idaho. It’s not Nevada, but it’s nearby. Plus, the climate in some parts of the state would make you feel right at home. :^)

Well its a pretty big area of land. With almost 3 million people in it. What do you think it SHOULD have been?
To: notdownwidems
See the US Congressionally mandated thresholds(population etc) in the 1860s as to what area(s) could be granted statehood and The Nevada Territory never was CLOSE. Lincoln needed the Electoral Votes in the 1864 Presidential Election and MADE Nevada a State(Thus “Battle Born”).

The Dems will never destroy the GOP since the GOP is on their side and the Dems always need a whipping boy to demagogue in order to move their agenda forward.

Root made a lot of noise about obama in the run-up to the 2012 election that went nowhere...

“This whole dream, was it wishful thinking? Was I just fleeing reality like I know I’m liable to do? But me and Ed, we can be good too. And it seemed real. It seemed like us and it seemed like, well, our home. If not Arizona, then a land not too far away. Where all parents are strong and wise and capable and all children are happy and beloved. I don’t know. Maybe it was Utah.”

“Nevada is a FAKE State, it is an area that NEVER should have been a State.”
What a totally stupid statement!
To: bigdaddy45
Well its a pretty big area of land. With almost 3 million people in it. What do you think it SHOULD have been? I'm fine with Nevada being a state. I don't see a prolem there. But just in case, here are some stupid ideas to advance the stupid dialogue.
Indian reservation? Tortoise Habitat? Federal Prison? Land Fill? Military Base?

There's no such thing as a Republican any more.
There are democrats and other democrats.
