Harry Reid Calls For An End To Legal Prostitution In Nevada
Mint Press News ^ | 2/21/14 | Frederick Reese

In 2011, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D – Nev.) went before a joint session of the Nevada State Legislature to call for “an adult conversation” about prostitution in the state.

“Nevada needs to be known as the first place for innovation and investment – not as the last place where prostitution is still legal,” he said in a speech delivered to the Nevada Legislature.

“We should do everything we can to make sure the world holds Nevada in the same high regard you and I do,” Reid continued. “If we want to attract business to Nevada that puts people back to work, the time has come for us to outlaw prostitution.”

I was going to say that he would have to resign if he meant what he said.

That’s weird, I would think this is something democrats would encourage. Especially since there is tax money to be made.

Maybe not, it depends if political whoring is legal or illegal.

The Congressional brothels will have monopoly
because they are the EXEMPT.

EXEMPT Reid schemes that nubile and minor non-Moslem
Americans will be eager to serve at Congressional brothels
because it will get their families out of ObamaCARE.
