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.”

**SNIP**

However, Las Vegas is hoping to host the 2016 Republican National Convention. Reid, a supporter of the city’s bid, has argued that even though prostitution is a misdemeanor in Las Vegas, the state’s stance on prostitution could be an issue.

So, he’s talking himself out of a job?

“It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.” - Ronald Reagan

Sounds like Harry overheard the girls comparing notes on his way out the back door one night. The laughter still rings in his ears!

Reid is reported to have mob ties. Who wins by closing the legal brothels? The Casinos and the mob. Prostitution is illegal in Vegas. If John is looking for action and finds it is illegal statewide, the mob can just take over the business and run the escort services. John goes to the mob instead, and Reid will get his cut somewhere.

The world's oldest profession isn't going away anytime soon.

I remember reading during his last election Reid got a lot of campaign money from the Nevada whore business.

This could end his own career.

Harry wants prostitution to be the exclusive domain of D.C.

Evidently not enough.

Is Harry Reid a Mormon?

[JimRed]

Want to get it banned there, Harry? Here’s how. Have someone apply for the required licensing to open a homosexual brothel. Then use that as a wedge to get all prostitution banned. What? They’d approve it? Ohhh...never mind!

HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.

[unixfox]

But Harry, isn’t it a woman’s body?

crickets.

[DemforBush]

The only difference between Reid and a prostitute is that the prostitute is honest about what she’s doing to people.

HARRY REID : NOT THE FIRST ,
BUT THE BEST NARCISSITIC CONGRESS WHORE !!

[JSDude1]

Harry Reid you’re so nutz, you are against prostitution, but for gay marriage?

[Manic_Episode]

After how many terms dingbat has finally found morality?

Messing with the livelihood of mobster types may not bode well for Harrys long term health.

[Fzob]

Reid got a lot of campaign money from the Nevada whore business.

So Reid must be having problems raising funds, and this is a way to get them to pony up protection money. I know he is not up for reelection until 2016, so who is he trying to help?

[Dapper 26]

Reid wants to eliminate the competition.
