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

Posted on 02/23/2014 12:24:33 PM PST by Libloather

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.

His plan is simple. He’ll preach outlawing prostitution knowing it won’t happen. Then he’ll say that if women can be prostitutes, so should gay men. Always look for the democrats’ end game.

Reid isn’t interested in making Americans more free to pursue life, liberty, and happiness...he isn’t interested in making capitalism, the Constitution, and Christianity more VIBRANT in our nation....nope, he is interested in shutting down a few brothels in Nevada.

Ya know Harry, I happen to think prostitution is bad, too...I think you ought to RESIGN immediately and run for a state-level office in Nevada so you can campaign for an end to that practice.

I have more respect for a whore than I do for my ex-wife. She was giving it away. To others.

All the prostitutes who earn a living in Nevada should band together and kick the living $hit out of Harry Reid.

Pay per view rights alone would bring in several million.

Question for Whorehouse Harry: If it is lawful for a woman behave promiscuously, why should it be unlawful for her to engage in the same behavior for profit? All this will do is add a little padding to the margins of the underground industry, which is run by slavers, organized crime, and pedopimps.

I have a feeling that the whorehouses will be legal at least a little past 2016.

Senator Ried wants to criminalize prostitution? I guess he doesn’t want the Hookers to be higher then politicians.

Sounds like Sen. Harry Reid wants to put himself out of a job in Nevada. After all, a U.S. Senator is nothing more than a legal prostitute that bilks the taxpayers of their money under the color of law. Ask Juan McPain, Linda Graham, Babs Boxer, Mary Landrieu, Diane Feinswine, Chuckyou Schumer, et. al.

IOW, after all the years he's been in office and prostitution has been legal, he wanted to call attention to the fact that the Republicans choose to convention there. Thanks Libloather.

I would rather he can for an end to “prostitution” in the U.S. Senate where the Senators sell their states down the river for a few pieces of silver.

This will get Harry Reid an extra $million or two from the Bunny Ranch and other operations. Then he will withdraw his opposition. Creepy B—tard.

Yes, he’s a Mormon. Doesn’t say much for the Mormon Church, does it! Money does talk, and not just only in politics either!

An elderly married couple was at home watching TV. The husband had the remote and was switching back and forth between a fishing channel and the porn channel. The wife became more and more annoyed and finally said: “For god’s sake! Leave it on the porn channel. You already know how to fish!”

I smell a great big RAT. My only question is what’s in it for Dingy Harry. If a scum muffin like Reid wants to outlaw prostitution you can bet your last dollar there’s something in it for him and his merry band of government sanctioned looters.

i thought i’d never see the day a democrat politician would voluntarily call for all politicians to retire.

Every long timer I meet here in Nevada says that Dirty Harry’s first job for the Las Vegas mob was to be the “bag-man” who carried the cash receipts from the whorehouses out of town into the Las Vegas mob bosses.

Seems old Dirty Harry has a bit of memory loss, already, doesn’t he??

Biting the hand that fed him at a very early stage of his thieving career.

The smallest county in Nevada is Storey County. Over half of their county budget comes from the taxes on the brothels in that county.

For all the crime reports I hear on the Reno TV stations, I have never heard one word about trouble at the brothels They are well run & they have ZERO tolerance for anyone causing trouble there.
