We haven't even prosecuted Fran Deane yet. (Why IS she above the law?) How many years ago was that? You would think that more than, what, more than 5 felonies should get you jail time.

We have Metro cops eating in the Employee dining rooms at the local casino's, and I can't even begin to enumerate the county commission ethics violations.

And hilarity ensues...

Let me begin by disproving your assumption and apologizing for any misinterpretation of my comparison of the Republican Party to the post WWII Nazi Party - it was a historical reference, in an attempt to state that political parties do run their course over time and eventually become so corrupt they are, or should be, disbanded.

It would be unfair to compare to Bush to Hitler - Bush is not quite as bad, as he's only caused the unnecessary deaths of over 4,000 Americans (not including the over 6,000 suicides related to military service in an illegal, unethical, immoral and Unjust War in Iraq). Would a comparison to the deaths of over 3,000 Americans be better for you?

That's not taking into account the millions of Iraqi's that have been displaced into homelessness, or wounded, maimed or killed - it seems there are only estimates and no one is accurately counting these statistics?

That is really disgusting!

Let me be clear, I have many, many Republican friends that are angrier at the corruption of their party leaders - and they are leaving their political party in droves by re-registering - with my sympathies!

Just so you know, I do all I can to hold my party, and our leaders, fully accountable! I'm first and foremost an Veteran's and Military Families Advocate and Activist - and a Precinct Captain, a member of, both, the County and State Central Committee - all in the role of a "watchdog" citizen!

RFK, Jr. said recently on a segment with Larry King "What the American people need to realize is that 95% of the Republican Party and 75% of the Democratic Party are corrupt!"

I agree - it's THAT "sad"!

So, clean up your party (if it survives 2008) and I'll keep working on mine!

Sad Summerlin wrote on July 16, 2008 08:18 PM: Mr. Abbinett - "I am convinced, in the minds of the Democrat party leadership there is a far darker disorder and that they are sociopaths that care for no one but themselves and Titus is a perfect example..."

You may want to read the Statements that you make about others and look at them how you would view it you had the opposing view. Do I believe Titus is a sociopath? NO! Do I believe there are people in the Democratic Party that have problems addressing right from wrong, are corrupt or have ethics issue... of course... and I would be naive to say that the Republican party is free of that as well...

Before calling for the disbanding of the Republican party, you should hold your same party accountable to the same errors and problems that you accuse the Republicans... but you take it too far.

How dare you, sir, compare the Republican Party to the Nazi's in Germany after the war...

In every possible disagreement with Democrat's policies, their leaders or their party, I have never once requested their disbandment or censorship. Nor would I ever suggest anyone else make those suggestions. We live in a land of choice, no matter how much we disagree with that choice, we must respect other's rights to have that choice and opinion.

Sir... YOU ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE and I would expect someone with character to apologize for such statements. I am guessing an apology will not be forthcoming.

You disgust me, sir.

Johnathan L. Abbinett wrote on July 16, 2008 06:24 PM: Thanks for continuing the occasional conversation on ethics Erin. As RFK Jr. said on a recent Larry King, "What the American people need to realize is that 95% of the Republican Party and 75% of the Democratic Party are corrupt!"

Which means only about 30% of the people in government are serving for the right reasons - that means the ethical minority is, already, widely overwhelmed by those corrupted with a desire for power and wealth - not good odds for any society to return to an ethical foundation under the rule of law...

...but, I'm convinced, in the minds of the Repulican Party leadership there is far darker disorder - they are sociopaths that care for no one but themselves - and Gibbons is a classic example! Ensign, Heller and Porter would fit the same mold - simply take the time to compare what they say (and don't say) against what they actually do - they represent themselves, and only out of political expedience, do they represent and help their wealthy donors. The Republican Party of today doesn't even represent most of their moderate members - it's all about the money and power!

Frankly, if it were up to me, the Republican Party in America would be banned (much like what happened to the Nazi Party in Germany after WWII) - they don't deserve the opportunity to "re-brand" and recover. Driving the Republican Party into the political desert for forty years isn't enough in my mind - why let them ever rape America, or another generation of Americans, ever again?

We all need to start taking ethics and the rule of law, American law, far more seriously to get America, and Nevada, back on track!

I am one of the 80%. It's not that I want to see our governor fail. I would love for him to surprise us all and turn his term around. Sadly, he has approached his office with the skill of someone running for president of the junior high student council. His personal life, although entertaining, really doesn't make me dislike him. I dislike him because he isn't a leader, has poor judgement and doesn't appear to have any ethics.

I could think of a lot of people that are better suited for the governor's mansion. (Especially if the Supreme Court kicks off all those public servants from the ballot.)
