"Hell, I even brought in stimulus money by the millions to the casinos, I got a million and a half for a Gamblers Anonymous group so they would have available money for those who "got off the wagon" to blow in the joints, yea, joints, that's what they are, gambling halls, gin joints, bust out houses, call them whatever you want, the ingrates, after all I've done for them," he concluded with.

We have been warned by Reid that if he loses, he will pull all the Federal Stamps on all the casinos in Nevada.

If Reid loses, the state goes under."
