... how much good he has done for our state and why we need to re-elect this guy (sour faced curmudgeon would be more like it).

The election is still a year away and good old Harry’s poll numbers are in the tank. 

The position of Majority leader was created in 1913, and was formalized in both parties in 1920. 

I keep hearing from the democratic folks in this state about how powerful and influential Harry is, and how we just couldn’t get along without him. 

If he is so powerful and influential how come we only get back .68 cents of every dollar we send to Washington by way of taxes, as opposed to the .98 cents of every dollar we give to Washington before this inept boob rose to the position of Majority leader? 

I hear from the Tax Foundation, that he is rated 49th in federal taxes paid vs federal spending received, which ranks good old Harry dead last in either party. No one in the history of this position has had less to show for their efforts than good old Harry. That doesn’t sound to me like this guy is so indispensible (I Harken back to the title of this article, which by the way, was the title of a song back in the 1960s, I believe it was recorded by Skeeter Davis). 

I keep hearing about how a freshman senator couldn’t possibly do as much for Nevada as good old Harry our Majority Leader, however, I would like to call your attention to the following freshmen: 
Mark Begich of Alaska,  Jim Risch of Idaho 
Kay Hagan of North Carolina,  Jeff Merkley of Oregon 
Tom Udall of New Mexico,  Mark Warner of Virginia 
And last but not least  
Al (the boob) Franken of Minnesota 

These folks all got more stimupork per capita than our fearless Majority leader. 

Good old Harry managed to kill the Yucca Mountain project, but in so doing he killed thousands of high skilled jobs in Nevada and what did he replace them with? DOODLY SQUAT!!! 

The only jobs good old harry has created in Nevada (according to Chuck Muth of Creators Syndicate, who writes from here in Las Vegas), are positions on his re-election campaign. 

If there is a G-d in heaven don’t let this man be re-elected yet again.
