Sue Lowden response regarding Harry Reid’s decision to stay in Senate race after racially insensitive comments VIDEO

(Las Vegas, NV) – Today, Nevada businesswoman and former State Senator Sue Lowden issued the following statement after a spokesman for Harry Reid stated that the Senator is certain to stay in the race for re-election. The Reid spokesperson was quoted as saying, “These are difficult times for Nevada and as majority leader he is in a position to help Nevada address those challenges, as we have already seen.”

Lowden’s statement:

“Nevadans do not need any more of Harry Reid’s ‘help’ during these difficult times. Harry Reid uses his power for himself and his Washington liberal interests. Radical, left-wing interest groups have overlooked Reid’s pattern of insensitive remarks because they need him to do their bidding, rather than serve the interest of Nevadans.

“His ‘help’ for Nevada has bankrupted our state and made a bad recession worse. Harry Reid is raising our taxes during the worst recession we’ve faced in a generation. He is saddling our nation with trillions of dollars of debt. He is using the tax dollars of hardworking Nevadans to bribe fellow senators on unpopular, unaffordable legislation in the Senate.

“Harry Reid is running as the most powerful politician Nevada has ever had, yet under his failed leadership, Nevadans face the highest home foreclosure rate in the country. We face the second-highest unemployment rate in the nation. We continue to face record business and personal bankruptcies in Nevada. And now, Reid is trying to strip us of our private health care decisions and hand them over to Washington bureaucrats.

“Harry Reid has spent the last year helping bail out financial institutions, big insurance companies, and sitting on his hands while the President was steering convention business away from Las Vegas. What has he really done for Nevada aside from making matters worse? Nothing.

“Voters tell me everyday that they have had enough and that they can no longer afford more ‘help’ from Senator Reid. Not only do I agree with them, but I will ensure that when I’m in Washington, ‘help’ means always putting Nevada first.”

Sue Lowden appeared this morning on Fox News Channel to discuss the campaign, Harry Reid’s recent comments on President Obama’s race, as well as the current state of Nevada’s economy under Senator Reid’s failed leadership.

Harry Reid passes 2,733-page, tax-hiking, deficit-spiking, abortion-funding, Medicare-raiding health care bill Which actually increases health care

Sue Lowden

After maxing out our nation’s credit card on his failed policies, Reid votes to increase our debt limit to a record $12.39 TRILLION (Las Vegas, NV) – The most fiscally irresponsible senator in Nevada history ignored public opinion in Nevada to push through the U.S. Senate a partisan and quite possibly, unconstitutional health care bill. Nevadans have expressed strong opposition to Harry Reid’s legislation in numerous, statewide public opinion polls.

Further, to help fund this new entitlement, along with his other taxpayer-funded failures, such as Wall Street and insurance company bail-outs, stimulus bills and pork-filled spending bills, Harry Reid voted to increase our nation’s debt limit to $12.39 trillion.

“After three decades in Washington, Harry Reid has proven to be the most careless and fiscally irresponsible senator ever to represent Nevada,” Sue Lowden stated. “Harry Reid bribed other senators with our tax dollars for their votes on his bill. During record unemployment, home foreclosures and bankruptcies in Nevada, Harry Reid is forcing massive tax increases on working families and job providers. And, so that he can continue his reckless spending spree with our tax dollars, he voted to increase the debt limit to a new, record level.”

“Unfortunately, Harry Reid turned his back on Nevadans long ago,” Lowden continued. “Just this past summer, Senator Reid refused to conduct a single town hall meeting during his month-long August recess because he knew then that Nevadans were rejecting his push for government-run health care. He refused to listen to concerned Nevadans then – and he has spent every day since ignoring us.”

“Now, after passing a bill that increases health care premiums, raids Medicare, funds abortion, increases taxes, raises the deficit and puts bureaucrats in charge of making our health care decisions, Harry Reid celebrates with his special interest pals in Washington and promises more destruction for Nevada families. On the senate floor, Reid promised MoveOn.org, Nancy Pelosi, the Trial Lawyers and union bosses that, ‘this morning isn’t the end of the process, it’s merely the beginning.’ That statement ought to frighten every American across this country.”

BACKGROUND: Nearly two months ago, Sue Lowden outlined her own plan for health care reform. Sue’s plan would not have increased taxes or our record-setting deficit. It would have included tax relief so Nevadans could keep more of their hard-earned money to purchase health care and her plan would have also provided real, meaningful medical liability reform, which would significantly reduce health care costs. Further, Sue Lowden’s plan would have not allowed taxpayer-funded abortion and it would not have raided the Medicare benefits so many Nevadans use today.

Senator Reid has once again turned his back on Nevadans and is taking marching orders from his Washington allies like MoveOn.org and Nancy Pelosi. Their plan is not reform, rather it is push for another massive expansion of government control over our lives.

Senator Reid + Political Desperation = More Embarrassment

‘The most powerful senator in Nevada history’ continues with pattern of insults on his own constituents

LOWDEN CALLS FOR AN APOLOGY FROM SENATOR REID

(Las Vegas, NV) – Today, upon learning that Senator Reid compared opponents of his $2.5 trillion health care experiment bill to those who supported slavery, Nevada businesswoman and former State Senator Sue Lowden issued the following statement:

“Nevadans need jobs, not insults from our own Senator. It seems that with the more power and prestige that Senator Reid gains in Washington, the more insulting he gets towards those of us back home. Senator Reid has told us that tourists smell bad when they visit him in the Capitol. He called Nevadans attending town hall meetings ‘evil mongers’ – even as he ducked doing a single town hall meeting himself. Now, he compares the majority of Nevadans opposing his government-run health care scheme proponents of slavery. When you’ve been in Washington for three decades, and voters back home start losing favor with your failed policies, it probably doesn’t help to start insulting them. Nevadans deserve better, and Senator Reid should apologize – once again – for his unfortunate comments about our citizens.”
