The Reno News and Review dug up the past writings of Nevada Assembly speaker-designate Ira Hansen (R) which would make him “one of the most controversial speakers in Nevada history.”

“While members of the GOP caucus talked about a united front, they selected as speaker a legislator who is one of the most contentious public officials in the state. Hansen doesn’t like blacks, gays, Israel, many Republicans, and most Nevadans—he once wrote that newcomers to the state, who constitute four of every five Nevadans, should accept Nevada as it is or leave.”

Here are a couple choice quotes:

On race: “The relationship of Negroes and Democrats is truly a master-slave relationship, with the benevolent master knowing what’s best for his simple minded darkies. For American blacks, being denied choice and forced to attend the failing and inferior government school system is a form of involuntary servitude. Let’s call it what it truly is—educational slavery.”

On women: “Today, when Army men look at women in the ranks with ’longing in their eyes’ it very well may constitute ’sexual harassment.’ The truth is, women do not belong in the Army or Navy or Marine Corps, except in certain limited fields.

Sounds like a mainstream Republican.  What's the issue here?

He overthrew his moderate predecessor because of incumbent Bachmanns (Google "Michele Fiore") and incoming Gohmerts, per Ralston.

Mainstream republicans don't support slavery. Heck, I don't think Jim Risch (most conservative member of the senate) supports slavery.

Good to know that the Democrats will be taking back the Nevada State Legislature in 2016.

So the question is if Sandoval pulls a McCrory and acts as his yes-man, or if he angers republicans in his state by confrontating the legislature.

Anyone wonder whether Reid had something to do with this?

Radical Republicans have always made Democrats nervous. Too bad he is antagonistic towards women in uniform, but at least he knows that Democrats seek to have absolute control of minorities. Apathetic Republicans, who tolerate Democratic exploitation of minorities, are not Republicans.

No surprise here. What happened in Nevada last election was basically North Carolina 2.0.

Ralston has said there have been rumblings about the former moderate leader, Pat Hickey, being reinstalled as a coalition candidate between Dems and moderate Pubs. Sandoval should start moving on that now.

So a reverse NY-Senate situation? And with Sandoval playing the part of Cuomo? I'm hooked.

Easy dump, 2016. Democrats take over the State House, Hillary Clinton wins Nevada by a landslide, Harry Reid or his chosen successor successor gets elected to the Senate.

1)Nevada isn't gerrymandered.

2)Nobody said that Democrats would take back the North Carolina legislature this year.
