"Bob Beers is one of the few friends on whom taxpayers can consistently rely in Carson City.."

2008 Review Journal Endorsement

The Las Vegas Review Journal endorses Bob, calling out his opponent for her campaign of "hide from the voters and lie about Beers." It's pretty funny - they say his opponents "want voters to believe (she) can ride to Carson City on a septic tank truck -- yet arrive smelling fresh as daisies."

Democrats Defamed Beers to Beat Him in 2008.

Political Defamation is lying about a candidate, and doing so recklessly. The US Supreme Court ruled in the 1960s that a little lying in politics is okay, and set a standard for "really lying" that is difficult to meet. Apparently recognizing that they crossed this line, the Nevada State Democrat Party settled a lawsuit out-of-court in 2010 in which they admitted lying about Beers during the 2008 campaign and agreed to pay a penalty.

In 2008, Beers was targeted for defeat by Nevada's local government unions, who were angry that Beers frequently discussed their extortion of taxpayers, and their failure to serve any of the traditional roles of unions in America (such as skills development, workplace safety or equitable division of profits).

With a budget in excess of one million dollars and a happy lackey in the Nevada State Democrat Party, Nevada's local government unions defeated Senator Beers.

Beers sued for defamation. in June 2010, the Nevada State Democratic Party decided to accept Beers' offer of settlement. They admitted that they lied during the campaign (by sending mailers that Sen. Beers was "under review by the Ethics Commission!!!" when he was not, at any time, under review by the Ethics Commission) and agreed to pay a $2,500 fine to the charity of Beers' choice (which was Opportunity Village).

Remember, this election season, you can't believe a word the Nevada Democrat Party says.
