If you lived in Nevada, you'll remember those "down home" ads about Harry Reid and Searchlight, Nevada. That's a small town between Las Vegas and nowhere. And the ads that asked Nevada residents to vote for Harry to be reelected were quick to point out that good old Harry was a true, down home Nevadan.
These days, "Good Old Harry" is not all that welcome in Searchlight. Why? Ask any resident and they'll tell you that they are 100% patriotic and they stand behind their military. The way they see it, Harry is a traitor. And, Harry became a traitor when he turned his back on the United States Armed Forces by saying that "they have lost the war in Iraq."
Basically, "Good Old Harry" has sold out everything that the entire State of Nevada believes in. At least, that's what most Nevadan's will say today.
Why, then, has he not been recalled? Don't ask me. After 36 years in Nevada, I got tired of the guy and I left the state.
Anyone want to hear the story about "Mr. Clean" and the mob and a wiretap when Harry was on the Nevada Gaming Commission?
