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.

He’s probably causing a distraction, why would he want to shut down the places he grew up in?

It’s apparent that whatever Harry does on the side he gets paid well for it.

Harry’s probably made a pact with the Russian Mafia to end “legal” prostitutuon so they can provide the services illegally for at least 4 times as much. In return he’ll probably receive large donations from the PAC they set up for him.

Lots of legal prostitution going on in DC.

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

I find whenever immorality or antichristian so called puritanical outlooks are what democrats name as ‘challenged’ they are ALL behind it in some pompous, it’s everyones right to do as they like mode.

Exceptin’ smokin’, right to life, or supporting the American family.

I have a distant cousin murdered and raped in Nevada in 1863 over a mining claim. We have not thought well of Nevada since.

You pretty much lost any moral high ground when you supported homosexual marriage, Harry.

He’s just trying to run to the front of the human trafficking parade, which has been marching full force for a couple of yeqrs now. I get the feeling his scouts have sniffed the wind.
