NV GOP front-runner faces attacks from own party

0 votes

Excerpt:

The survey showed 23 percent of Republicans favored Lowden and 21 percent backed Tarkanian, with 44 percent undecided.

Political analysts think the opposition from Paul supporters could hurt Lowden in the June 8 primary. They note state Sen. Bob Beers, R-Las Vegas, was defeated after he chaired the 2008 state GOP convention under Lowden.

"In a primary with lower turnout, if you have a large block of Republicans who are still bitter, I think it could be bad news for her," said David Damore, a political science professor at UNLV and a Democrat. "I'm sure it'll make Danny Tarkanian very happy."

Fred Lokken, political science professor at Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno and a Republican, said the ballot count validates the Paul backers' long simmering anger over the convention being shut down.

"I think they're going to be a very large problem for her in next year's election," he said.

You can help expose Lowden's actions.

See the entire history of the Nevada convention on my blog:

There's a lot of information out there. I can't believe that she thinks she can hide from this.

You can see on the poll that 82% of the respondents would not vote for Lowden again.

Lowden was Miss NJ

and was first runner-up.

I am so sick of hearing about this aspect of her C.V. It is actions that count, not looks. Almost any video of her on-line has men responding about how attractive she is - sheesh - as if that has anything to do with qualifications. HOW HIGH SCHOOL!!! It's not like she's running for U.S. Prom Queen.

Lowden was a Miss America candidate?!!

NJ

"Bitter" is not a good word to describe the feelings as it

sounds petty and unjustified. I would say it is Righteous Anger!!

The link

to the story doesn't work any more. Did it wear out?
Wayne Terhune is a good man, but the primary race in Nevada is full of candidates right now. He would get lost in the bunch, & I don't know if he has political aspirations. He's a doctor of dentistry & has a practice. I've said it before & I'll say it again, we need to get behind Sharron Angle. She has an excellent record in the state legislature & is an experienced campaigner.

Lowden's big supporter in Nevada is Chuck Muth. Last week, he had a column on his website by Wayne Root. I had to respond to it & that led to a verbal match that's entertaining to read:

Thanks for posting this cyndezu!

Sorry, It may be the server on the other end :p

ausscyn, hang in there for NV, Muthmouth and Lowdown need to be
kept in check, Great job e- lips =D

The DP is proof that the grassroots support for Ron Paul and his peaceful message of individual liberty is large, real, and not going away!

Chuck Muth is utter trash.

He apparently squirmed out from under the same flat rock as Sue Lowden.

Angle

Angle's a total neocon. I like her personally, but we didn't support McCain so I'm not sure we can morally support her. You can't compromise on principles-- ever. Even to stop Reid.

Agreed.

I've seen a lot of posts on the Daily Paul lately, trying to say Sharron Angle is someone RP people should be supporting. I totally disagree with this, and here's why:

-Sharron Angle is for the war. Completely, entirely for the war and American Empire expansion. This is an issue I cannot and will not put aside. The lives and blood of soldiers - and the lives of millions of people in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, ETC - are too important to compromise about just to oust a Democrat. To do so would put party before principle. Ron Paul has always been about principles BEFORE party.

-Despite numerous opportunities to do so (and Sharron's claims to the contrary) she DID NOT support Ron Paul.

Angle

I read all the time, never commented before, but couldn't resist setting the record straight on Angle from her website. "Completely, entirely" large generalization without any back up facts Wow! I heard it from Ron Paul's own lips that he isn't a "cut and run" coward. Again some facts please to support why you think Ron Paul would cut and run. Were you paying attention to the terrorist at Fort Hood courtesy of the coward in the White House?

I heard Angle on the radio. She said she supported Duncan Hunter in 2009 (hardly a neo-con like McCain) but she also said she admired Ron Paul as a principled Constitutional Representative. You sound like a "one trick" pony. What about the economy? Government takeover of Healthcare? Crap and charade (cap and trade)? Fighting for the Constitution?

Someone said Titus. What's she done? How do you know if any of these other people will do what they say? At least we have Angle on the record fighting against taxes. We know she went into personal debt to fight for the Constitution. Get serious. There are 12 in the race, 9 who want us to believe what they say (shades of Raggio), Amodei who voted for the largest tax increase in state history, Lowden who took away our voting rights and Angle. We have a chance to make it happen, watch it happen or ask what's happening when we get Lowden and Reid in November 2010 because we got hung up looking for 100% perfection in Angle and didn't do anything to help her.

www.sharronangle.com NATIONAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC PROTECTION - The war on terror is the central challenge of our time. I support a military force of superior strength and readiness to deter all threats to our national security or the safety and freedom of our citizens. We must equip our military with the best possible weapons and intelligence. The United Nations or foreign capitals must not be allowed to dictate the steps we take to defend our national security, and I oppose placement of our troops under any foreign command, including the United Nations.

We cannot abandon our current commitments in the Middle East, as
that would only embolden the terrorists and put us at risk here at
home. Only when the democratically elected government in Iraq is
stable can we remove American security forces. For the stability of
our future at home we can accept no outcome other than victory.

If not Sharron, then which GOP Candidate

I was leaning toward Sharron, but she does support the "War on Terror" and want to spend more on the military to make sure our troops are arm with the best. The GOP field is getting crowded not sure who to look at right now.

Muth

was a huge burr in the side of all Ron Paul conservatives. Name-calling and ridiculing is his middle name. What have you heard about Robin Titus? There are many people who really are behind her, but I'm not too familiar with her...yet?

Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.

The message needs to be crystal clear.

If you do the Ron Paulers dirty, you will lose.

And the more often that we make that stick, then the more they will worry about crossing us

The best word that we could have out there on the street is, "Don't cross the Ron Paulers, or you'll lose your election".
Then we're getting somewhere good.

Just like Mike said in the

Just like Mike said in the C4L political training..."Bring the Pain" to them when they don't comply and reward them when they are good. It is all about "Pavlov's Dog" with politicians.

she is a wicked human being. We also need to keep track of Bob Beers and make sure he is never elected to anything, including dogcatcher (although it would be funny watching him chase his own tail for a bit).

They think its Jerry

Wayne Terhune needs to run

Wayne Terhune needs to run against Sue Lowden in the primary. I think that we can boost him monetarily and do a NY-23 or Rand vs. Trey on her. She must pay and must NOT be allowed to merrily walk herself into this position. She is corrupt and a bad person.

Let the fight begin?

and, I will do everything I can to deny Sue Lowden the nomination. She's just an RNC suit in high heels.

I think we could not just deny her, but destroy her self-serving ambitions for all time and I think we should.
