Reid's home state is bloated with ACORN and SEIU drones and he needs them to get the vote out. He's in big trouble in his home state, which was a magnet for illegals and low-income workers when Vegas overbuilt its housing industry and the casinos were hiring all kinds of illegals to make beds and work in the kitchens. The state stinks to high heaven and Reid is one of the reasons. Nevada voters need to take out the garbage.

When a liberal organization loses Barney Frank, it's in REAL trouble. Of course, this isn't much of a story, just ask the mainstream media. They are such a complete clown show.

I don't even want to have a visual image of Barney Frank doing a stunning turnaround.

Oh, damn! Already there. I am going to have to visualize a dozen hog butcherings just to get that image out of my mind.
