Typhoid Barry strikes again. Wanna pay penance for voting for him, Nevadans? There's a certain beady-eyed gravedigger you keep sending to Washington. Next year, send someone else.

This is not good news for Harry Reid! It is great news for the GOP if it is played right.

“Gibbons served three terms in the Nevada State Legislature and was named “Outstanding Freshman Legislator” in 1988. By 1993, Gibbons rose through the ranks to become Republican Whip of the State Assembly. Jim Gibbons was first elected to represent Nevada’s 2nd District in the House of Representatives in 1996. After being elected to a fifth term in November 2004, and decided to leave Congress to run for Governor of the State of Nevada”

How popular is he? Obama has eff’ed the economy and Nevada must be in a bad way. Hopefully this is a shot at getting rid of Hairy Reed.

SEIU = Illegal Aliens Union = ACORN. SEIU and ACORN were founded by the same guy and they are essentially the same organaizations.

Governor Gibbons you know what to do next.

Schedule a round of television appearances and guaranteed you’ll hear from him very soon.

I flew out of the same base he did during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. He was with the Reno Air Guard flying RF-4Cs. Good Republican...Good Guy.
