Seriously Vince - you should learn to shut the fuck up sometimes. It's a wonder you ever had 2 brain cells to rub together you fucking idiot. There were folks on both sides that were persuaded to lobby against the Yucca site - in all seriousness, it needs to go somewhere. Trying to guard a few dozen sites, versus one really large one would be more cost effective in the long run.

In 2006, Guinn declined to endorse Jim Gibbons, the Republican nominee for Governor of Nevada, due to bitter disagreements between the two politicians.

Look, they even did a breakdown of all the Congressional districts the waste would have to travel through. At the time of the writing, it was 170 R to 160 D. That has changed since then, so I wonder who is voting against it now?
