Two days after John Kerry electrified Las Vegas (15,000+ attended his rally), dubya came to town and handed the state's electoral votes to him.
*'s sparsely attended photo op/slam-bam-thank-you-ma'am-invite-only liefest featured an equal amount of protesters outside whose enthusiasm was a sharp contrast to *'s lukewarm reception inside.
Our local CBS station (KLAS) showed footage of the * meeting with attendees sitting on their hands as his stupid speech failed to light any sparks.
He told us we were in a drought! Wow...that's news to us...we thought all the water restrictions and fines for ignoring them was just for fun.
But more importantly, * lied once again about Yucca Mt, saying he had followed the science and that he would NOT back down from his plan to turn Nevada into the nation's nuke dump site. (That's right - the Yucca plan is Thelma and the citizens of Nevada are Louise...and we're heading off the nuke waste cliff, thanks in large part to pResident Who-cares-What-You-Think?).
And with that stupid-is-as-stupid-does statement, * handed Nevada to John Kerry who has promised to kill Yucca Mt when elected.
* has no idea what a huge issue this is for Nevada. Even the NV Republican party has officially come out against the Yucca plan. But Mr stubborn-as-the-asshole-he-is just doesn't get it: in an evenly divided state like Nevada, such single issues are VERY important, and all the lying and spin in the world won't put Nevada in the R column come November.
Also gratifying: KLAS footage included a senior-aged protester who said he was a lifelong R until dubya "wrecked this country and so many people's lives", who has now switched to the Dems and "will never vote for another R as long as I live."
