I have to agree on the Rick Perry comment. Perry is a disgrace to the State of Texas. Our state parks rank 49th out of the 50 states of the Union, and all that bastard is concerned with is building his monstrosity Trans Texas Corridor. I hope that boondoggle never gets off the ground. Perry is nothing more than a lackey of Chimpy McFlightsuit. Gibbons sounds like a real asshat!

But due to no state income tax (thanks casinos!) and a "less taxing" way of life, right wing retirees from Calif. and other states have been selling their overpriced homes over the last 15 years, moving to Nevada, buying a good, cheap new home, and nest-egging the balance. The by-product is that they vote Republican right down the line. The independent, real Nevadans who vote for the best candidate regardless of party are out-gunned. Dead meat. So a moron like Gibbons can call his opponent "Dina Taxes" (the smart, progressive Dina Titus), scare the selfish old fools and "arrivistas," and get elected. Nevada just ain't for Nevadans no more.
