Goodbye, GOP »
(Roger Stone/The Stone Zone) – I registered to vote as a Republican the same day I turned 18. I registered so I could vote for Richard Nixon’s re-election in 1972. I was excited to join the party of Lincoln, Eisenhower, and Reagan. For one year before leaving for college I served on the Westchester (NY) Republican County Committee. While living in Washington’s Virginia suburbs, I served on the Arlington County Republican Committee and later the [...]
No Matter How You Do The Math, The Numbers Favor The GOP »
NN&V Exclusive (Lori Piotrowski) – The GOP is on a roll, according to the math. Numbers are coming in from different sources are saying the same thing—this election has got voters’ attention, and they’re leaning right. Both the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire primary reported a record number of participants, and many of these people were first-time Republican voters. This same trend of people turning to the Republican party is widespread and not just [...]
Message To GOP Super Committee: Embrace The Joy Of Failure »
(Wayne Allyn Root) – The Congressional “Super Committee” tasked with cutting the debt has failed. Good. Embrace the joy of failure. Sometimes failure works out for the best. Because in this case “failure” leads to the Holy Grail: $1.2 Trillion in forced spending cuts. That’s the best thing that could have ever come out of this unconstitutional “Super Committee.” Congress is now forced to accept automatic across the board cuts to spending- including defense spending. [...]
Why America Is Ready For A Third Party »
(Roger Stone/The Stone Zone) – As it dawns on voters that they may well have a choice between Barrack Obama and Mitt Romney a majority of voters favor a 3rd choice, if not a 3rd party. A stunning Washington Post/ABC News poll recently showed 61% of American voters wanted another choice in addition to these two standard bearers. Occupy Wall Street and The Tea Party are examples of growing unrest in the country and the [...]
It’s Time Republicans Embraced The Latino Voter »
(Jim Clark) – What the **** is wrong with the Republicans? A nationally televised GOP presidential candidate debate was held in Las Vegas last week followed by the Western Republican Leadership Conference, also in Sin City. When it came to the issue of immigration, it was like they were playing Russian roulette with bullets in all six chambers of the revolver. Let’s examine some facts. First, Nevada is getting a fourth congressional seat because of [...]
A Bi-Partisan Call for Partisan Redistricting »
(David Mansdoerfer) – Today, Citizen Outreach started a petition calling for Governor Sandoval to convene a special session to complete the redistricting process. According to Nevada Constitution, the authority over redistricting lies solely with the Nevada State Legislature. Yet, during the 76th legislative session, Democrats and Republicans failed to come to a consensus on redistricting plans. Due to this, the court system is now in the process of deciding the fate of the redistricting process. [...]
The NSEA Grading Sham »
NN&V Exclusive (David Mansdoerfer) – A lot has been made of the recent Nevada State Education Association (NSEA) legislative report card. To some, this report card shows what the highly partisan teacher union thinks of Republicans (worthless pond scum). To others, it shows what the NSEA thinks education reform looks like – continuing with the state quo. However, if you look at the numbers, outside of the ridiculous weighted system they concocted, not a single [...]

Wooing Latinos »

Between 2000 and 2010, Nevada was one of the nation’s fastest growing states despite the recession-caused negative growth over the last 3 years.
