Hey, Senator Wannabe's and Senator Reid this opinion blog is specifically for all of you! This little blogging Citizen mommy, resident of Las Vegas, and Community big mouth has something to say: especially to you Sue Lowden, who chose to appear on FOX News this morning, and attempt to embarrass not only Senator Reid and the City of Las Vegas, but our entire State!

On FOX News this morning, while Sue Lowden was all smiling talking about how she "heard" Senator Reid is going to "vaporize" her, and she hopes he "starts with her hips", the FOX News opinion-reporter threw up some "poll" results to show us 'how much trouble Senator Reid is in' along with continued commentary from the ever over-confident and smiling Sue Lowden.
This poll was a Mason-Dixon Poll performed between January 5-7 2010, and was comprised of 625 (yep, that's right, count them, SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE NEVADA REGISTERED VOTERS), and with this information both FOX NEWS, and Sue Lowden, Danny Tarkanian (btw, Danny FOX totally blew the pronunciation of your last name..probably because they interviewed Sue and not you, but they blew the numbers and the real polls and talking to more registered voters as well, so go figure)! Further this poll, specifically stated a MOE (Margin of Error of +/- 4%). So, hello? What is it exactly you all seem to be so excited about?? Still can't figure this one out, for two really huge reasons, and I will explain.
I am not a party loyalist, but I can tell you that NONE OF YOU REPUBLICAN OR CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES, NOT ONE OF YOU, WHO WERE NOTIFIED ABOUT ALL THE UPCOMING JOB LOSSES AT US AIRWAYS DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT! SENATOR REID DID!
All of you knew, including Danny Tarkanian, and you too Sue Lowden, and you did not only show up the day of the picket, you made no public statements at all!
HARRY REID DID AND HE CALLED A MEETING WITH THE CEO OF THE AIRLINE DOUG PARKER! YOU TWO, YOU THREE, CLAIM TO CARE MORE THAN HE DOES AND COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT HE IS BECAUSE HE SOMETIMES FAILS TO THINK BEFORE HE SPEAKS. OKAY SURE, BUT, WHERE WERE ALL OF YOU AND WHERE ARE YOU NOW, WHEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS? IT APPEARS THAT ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS GETTING ELECTED AND TAKING HIS JOB AWAY FROM HIM?
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOU WERE CALLED UPON BY THE PEOPLE TO HELP US SAVE OUR HOMES AND OUR JOBS? SPEAKING IN RENO, IS WHERE ONE OF YOU WERE, NOT HERE WHERE IT MATTERED SO MUCH THAT DAY. CURRENTLY YOU PEOPLE ARE SLAMMING HIM TO GET YOURSELVES ELECTED, WHILE HE IS PULLING DOUBLE DUTY HERE BACK HOME AND IN WASHINGTON! YOU THREE ARE SIMPLY CAMPAIGNING.
So, when the three of you have real answers on how to stop US Airways from taking all the jobs away from our State, and real answers on how to stop us from being number one in foreclosure and climbing to that spot in unemployment, and focus your campaigns on that rather than attacking Harry Reid personally via FOX News as your personal attack outlet, maybe just maybe you will have attained real credibility with the rest of the people who are REGISTERED VOTERS AND INDEPENDENT AND CARE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY and DON'T KNOW OR TRUST YOU ENOUGH YET BECAUSE YOU ARE SHOWING US THAT ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS GETTING TO CALL YOURSELF THE NEXT HARRY REID.
Currently, Harry Reid, in my book is 1000 times a better choice than any one of you because he is not simply seeking a Senate seat, like you three are, he is working to help us at the same time. And if you read my blogs, going back over the years, I have nothing more than a journalistic working relationship with the man. Even when I am hard on him, there is a reason he still writes back, takes my calls, responds in times of crisis, and that reason is because although he is human and prone to err, he CARES ABOUT HIS HOME STATE TOO! So before you are so eager to slam him, LET ME ASK ALL OF YOU AGAIN, what are you doing, like Senator Reid is about the US Airways situation and the USO situation? I am speaking to his office regularly and they are on it. They take and return my calls, all the time. What are you doing besides trying to get on FOX News and make someone look bad using polls with 625 registered Nevada voters to make people think you have done something so fantastic?
I can prove what Senator Reid has done in the last 5 days ALONE,(not to mention over the last 5 years), that has made some heavy duty serious change help. I can't say the same about any one of you. Why is that? You all have my email and my phone #. Reach out and answer the questions. I will give you a fair chance to respond, and I am certain my readers would like to know the answers as well.
In the mean time, lay off of Senator Reid, until you are 100% certain you have cleaned up you own backyard.
No party loyalty from me, just this one concerned little citizen who demands truth, integrity, and honesty from those who seek to be public servants. Definition of public servant is to leave your personal agenda at the door and work on behalf of those you represent. Have a blessed day. Happy Sunday. Sandra

ReplyDeleteThis is something I would like to remind all the NAYSAYERS that NOT ONE of the 3 Wannabe Candidates EVEN BOTHERED TO CARE ABOUT OR GET INVOLVED IN.. But SENATOR REID HAS!
ReplyDeleteREID CALLS ON US AIRWAYS TO RECONSIDER CUTS IN LAS VEGAS
Reid calls on the carrier to take the long view to protect jobs and growing tourism.
Las Vegas, NV—Nevada Senator Harry Reid in a letter to the president and CEO of US Airways called on the carrier to reconsider planned cuts to flights and pilot positions at McCarran International Airport. These cuts would affect more than 400 jobs at the airport at a time when tourists are beginning to return to Las Vegas.
Below is the text of the letter.
January 7, 2010
Douglas Parker
Chairman/CEO
US Airways
4000 E. Sky Harbor Boulevard
Phoenix, AZ 85034
Dear Mr. Parker:
I am writing to express my concerns about your recent decision to downsize your operations at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, NV. I urge you to delay any service reductions or cuts until I am properly briefed on the alternative solutions available to your airline.
As I am sure you are aware, Nevada has been particularly hard hit by the recession affecting our nation. Currently, my state has one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation. The loss of 400 jobs, including many skilled flight crew jobs, will have a detrimental affect just as Las Vegas and our country begins to emerge from the recession. In addition to the effect these cuts will have on workers and their families, your decision to decrease service will also hurt economic development in Southern Nevada for the individuals and businesses that rely on your service.
Further, I am strongly concerned that your decision to reduce service to Las Vegas is shortsighted. Like many tourist destinations, Las Vegas was hit hard by the economic downturn affecting our nation. However, we are beginning to see the beginning signs of an economic recovery in Nevada. For the first time in nearly a year, McCarran Airport has recorded two straight months of increases in visitor volume. When passenger traffic returns, your airline will be well positioned to take advantage of the Las Vegas market.
Because of the commitment you have shown to Nevada, I have been a longtime supporter of your airline. From the merger with USAir to accessing additional slots on the East Coast, we have worked together to build the airline into one of the premier national carriers. I hope that we will be able to have a positive discussion about ways in which we can work together to address your continued service to my state.
My staff will be reaching out to your office to set up a time and date for us to meet in Washington. I appreciate your personal attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
HARRY REID
United States Senator
I do have a few questions for the FOX News reporter and a few comments:
ReplyDeleteSince Sue Lowden is a Candidate running against Sentor Reid, why didn't you ask her why she is running against him? What makes her more qualfied? What has she done to help the people that makes her so deserving, rather than inviting her on to make fun on Senator Reid and his mistakes? Sue Lowden have you ever made a mistake? If you have please sit down and re-watch your interview today from a simple human perspective, because I vote with that perspective too, as do many of us Nevadans. It is no longer a political party thing and all of you people need to start understanding that. This is a loyalty thing, who is truly representing the will and voices of the people! Right now, in our State, in our backyard, saving our jobs, stopping the unscrupulous landlords from hurting good tennants while they are being foreclosed upon, the only one doing anything about it is Senator Harry Reid! I don't like all of his health care stuff and he knows it, but the man loves his State and it's people! And this is just how I feel about it..
I understand peoples feelings about racism, more than folks probably know. I will be writing about that later today. What I would like to point out is something I last tweeted.
ReplyDeleteDo you happen to notice that every single time in this Country that whenever we are facing serious and real issues, every single time, somehow all of a sudden our attention seems to be averted by the politicians and media making a huge ordeal by playing the race-card?
I mention this, because the longer we focus on this, (and believe me they know this), we are not focusing on ANY of the stuff they are doing in DC. I would also like to note, while they (the media and politicians want to play this for all it is worth), it is not an acceptable reason for someone else to use to get elected, they must prove their worth of their accord, standing on their own two feet, not riding in on the mistakes of anyone else.
Do not forget, though, the words spoken by the Vice President, (who is not being asked to step down, and the words more recently spoken by RNC head Michael Steele who offended me and every person who has any Native American blood in them, especially all of those 100% Native American Indians, when he poorly chose his words in sarcastic or joking reference to the American Indians, and on his rant to ask Reid to step down, I don't see him stepping down voluntarily after offending the Original, got screwed more than anybody Americans.
So there is more to this game they play to take our attention off the issues at hand than you think.
When they opt to play the race-card, it is more often than not meant to "play us" and keep us occupied so we are so over-focused on this that we are paying NO ATTENTION to the goings on in D.C. Think about that, and look at the recent history of race-card use, by both political parties and the timing of it all. Just my thoughts.
I wanted to quickly update that Danny Tarkanian personally called me after I made these comments and sent back that email (stating that I did not want to receive any more Senator Reid e-hate mail and to please send me something about Danny Tarkanian the Candidate because I would not help vilify another person), and have been writing these articles. He apologized for promising to show for the US Airways Picket, and not showing up. There were apparently some mis-communications with his office. We spoke at great length about Danny Tarkanian the person, and the Candidate, which was nice. I will be writing about that sometime in the next few days. Just wanted to make sure it was known that he did pick up the phone and call me on his own personal time, and we spoke for a while about who he is, and put some of this negative nonsense aside for a bit.
ReplyDeleteSo, that was finally a blessing for a change. I finally got to know a candidate. (and he heard me and my concerns about the negativity, because his family went through near literal hell at the hands of slimy negativity in campaigning once as well.) I will be writing about it soon. Thanks Danny!
