List, the former Republican governor, said Republicans plan to remind voters at every opportunity that Obama slammed the industry that influences the livelihoods of most Nevadans.
"A lot of people out of work won't forget it any time soon," List said.
GOOD!

My hubby, Prince, has worked as a waiter part time for extra money all through our 30+ year marriage. It has literally saved our family from living in our car in bad times, and helped us save money to improve our situation in good times. Comments like Zero’s can have a devastating effect on people’s livelihoods, but he couldn’t care less.

I'm sad to hear that Prince is waiting tables for extra money.

That whole "The Artist" period was obviously a worse fiasco than I thought.

“Yes we can!”

Yeah, but the Vegas Chamber of Commerce guy said Hussein is a good guy.

There is no such thing as a secret ballot in places like that. At least, a person would be a fool to believe otherwise.

No secret ballot? That's really bad.

In my estimation, yes. They will vote for the man who promises them something over the man who will encourage them to be self determined. Odd state, Nevada. It a right to work state that is controlled largely by unions that have become powerful in the casino and hospitality industries. They take their orders from the purple shirts.

The wife and I were in Las Vegas last year. To beat the terrific heat we walked through a number of casinos. I noticed quite a few dealers standing with their hands behind their backs in front of empty tables. I wonder if those dealers and other casino employees still have jobs and who they’ll be voting for next year.

Voter intimidation. Yeah, it’s very funny.
