Working Families Losing Unionization Battle

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

The AFL-CIO, a main player in defeating my re-election this fall, has published its rating of federal legislators, five of whom represent Nevada. The AFL-CIO claims to make their ratings on behalf of “working families.”
For much of US history, the AFL-CIO represented many such “working families,” all of whom shared a deep and common bond: […]

Blast From The Past

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

So tonight, Steve Sebelius riffed on Governor Gibbons’ latest appointment, which, toward the bottom included a link to this old article. I had forgotten about it, to tell the truth, so Sarah and I had several minutes chuckling over nostalgia.
The point is still current. The folks desperate to not be held accountable as they merrily […]

The Danger Of Typecasting

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

When you categorize large groups of people into simple groups, misunderstandings often result.
Lining up folks by party affiliation is no different.
So when the Review Journal quoted me as saying “Democrats tend to run a little bit more on emotion than on intellect” at yesterday’s Clark County Republican Convention, I wondered what I would find in […]

And I understand tonight, she has found her candidate, no doubt a fine person.
Nevada’s […]

SD 6 Retains Narrow Republican Advantage

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Democrats allowed people to register to participate in their presidential caucus right up to the day of the caucus. Republicans had a cutoff date a couple of weeks out. We’ve all been waiting to see what the result would be on overall voter registration figures.
As of yesterday, my Senate District registration includes 25,039 Republicans and […]

Dina Titus: Cut Off The Head Of The Snake

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

Las Vegas City Life is a weekly “alternative” newspaper with a new feature: a Question & Answer section. The inaugural answerer was Dina Titus.
…is (Beers) vulnerable in that sense?
DT: Well, again, I think he is. His record, all he does is say no, no, no, so that everything that’s wrong you can pin on him, […]
